Who Should I Start? Roschon Johnson or TreVeyon Henderson

Saturday, November 22, 12:51 AM

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (thumb) missed two consecutive practices and has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Johnson was added to the injury report on Thursday and hasn't been able to get on the field since. The extent of his injury is unknown, but it won't have major ramifications in fantasy football anyway. He has just two carries for 17 yards through seven games this season, remaining buried in a depth role behind veteran D'Andre Swift and rookie Kyle Monangai. Travis Homer (hamstring, knee) has also been ruled out for this week, meaning Chicago may have to activate Brittain Brown from the practice squad to fill the No. 3 running back role.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson has not really moved the needle in fantasy football in his first two career playoff games in wins against the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans, carrying the ball 21 times for 52 yards while catching two passes for seven yards. The 23-year-old second-rounder out of Ohio State showed plenty of upside in his first 17 regular-season games, racking up 911 rushing yards and nine rushing TDs on 180 carries, but so far in the postseason, he has taken a back seat to Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson's production tends to come in bunches; the last four games that he's scored in were all two-touchdown performances. The odds are against a multi-score outing in Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Denver Broncos, a defense that allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game (91.1) and the fewest half-PPR points per game (15.7) to opposing RBs during the regular season.
