Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or TreVeyon Henderson

Saturday, December 6, 11:00 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is one of the short favorites to win Offensive Player of the Year as he's put together a historically great season through 12 games so far. Taylor has recorded 226 carries for a league-leading 1,282 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 35 receptions for 304 yards and two more touchdowns on 40 targets as a receiver. Taylor is averaging 24.8 PPR points per game, only trailing Christian McCaffrey among running backs this season. The superstar running back has cooled off in the past two games, though, totaling 143 yards and no touchdowns on 37 carries following his monster day against the Falcons in Week 10, when he racked up 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns. That was the second-most rushing yards in a game for his career, trailing only his 253-yard outing against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17 of 2021. Taylor will be looking for a repeat of that performance on Sunday against the Jaguars and ranks as RotoBaller's RB3 in PPR leagues for Week 14.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson cemented himself as the team's lead back while fending off Rhamondre Stevenson last Sunday, and in doing so, he also strengthened his position as a low-end RB1 in fantasy football. Henderson continues to find himself in the must-start range ahead of Monday Night Football against the New York Giants in Week 13. The rookie played 65% of the snaps last week, holding Stevenson to just seven touches for 10 yards. Meanwhile, Henderson had 18 carries for 66 rushing yards, plus three catches for an additional 15 receiving yards. The Ohio State product didn't find the end zone, but he did have five touchdowns over his previous two games. In four games since taking over as the Patriots' primary ball carrier, he is the third-highest-scoring running back in PPR leagues. He'll have a great chance to strengthen his fantasy value this week against the Giants, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Henderson ranks as the overall RB9 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings.
