Who Should I Start? Philip Rivers or TreVeyon Henderson

Tuesday, December 23, 7:42 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers will remain the starting quarterback for the Week 17 matchup against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed on Tuesday that Rivers would make his third straight start this weekend. The 44-year-old has earned himself another start after a promising outing during Monday's blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Rivers has performed fairly well against two tough teams and will get at least one more start with the Colts technically still in playoff contention. The veteran signal-caller will be on the lower end of the streaming radar for this Sunday's game against the streaking Jags. In Monday night's loss to San Fran, Rivers went 23-for-35 passing for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

Mike Reiss of ESPN reports that New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) was seen in a helmet and in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday as he headed to practice. Henderson is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 16 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. He will need to clear the concussion protocol later this week to play in Week 17 against the division-rival New York Jets on Sunday, but it's a good sign that he'll at least be limited in the first official practice of the week. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on Henderson's status later this week. The 23-year-old has the most upside of any RB in the Pats' backfield, but fantasy managers must prepare for the possibility that he won't play this weekend. If Henderson is out against the Jets, Rhamondre Stevenson would be a must-start, plug-and-play option at RB.
