Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or TreVeyon Henderson

Saturday, December 20, 10:48 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer returned in Week 15, catching just one pass for 16 yards against the New England Patriots. Palmer has been fighting through an ankle sprain that caused him to miss the previous two games. He was limited last week, playing only 33% of snaps, which ranked fifth among Bills receivers, behind Khalil Shakir, Tyrell Shavers, Brandin Cooks, and Keon Coleman. He also faces the strong Cleveland Browns secondary, which has allowed the second-fewest receiving yards to wide receivers this season. It will be intriguing to see whether Palmer's role increases this week, but fantasy managers should pivot in Week 16.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) was an estimated limited participant in Thursday's practice as the Patriots prepare to face the New York Jets. Henderson suffered a concussion early in the second quarter and was unable to return in the 28-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The second-round pick from Ohio State was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but he will need a full session on Friday to clear concussion protocol and be able to play in Week 17. The Jets defense has given up the second-most fantasy points to running backs this season. If Henderson can clear protocol, he will be a high-upside RB3 for fantasy purposes, while Stevenson would be a risky FLEX option. If Henderson is ruled out, Stevenson is a sure-fire RB2 against the Jets.
