Who Should I Start? TreVeyon Henderson or Jaydon Blue

Thursday, November 13, 12:21 AM

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is on track to lead the backfield in Week 11 after Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was ruled out for a third consecutive game. After totaling 150 yards and two touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, Henderson will look to keep his momentum during a short week, facing off against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. New York ranks near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, but a spread of New England -12.5 could lead to a heavy dose of touches for Henderson, as well as teammates Terrell Jennings (knee) and D'Ernest Johnson. The rookie still has some things to clean up -- he averaged just 1.96 YPC on non-scoring plays last week -- but if he can continue to play more than three-quarters of the snaps while carving out a role as a rusher and receiver, he'll be in line for a very strong fantasy outing in Week 11. He ranks as a solid RB2 with RB1 upside.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue was a healthy inactive in the team's last game in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. After being inactive for the team's first four games of the season, Blue was finally active for his NFL debut in Week 5 against the New York Jets after Miles Sanders (ankle, knee) was placed on injured reserve. The rookie fifth-rounder out of Texas served as the clear No. 2 back behind starter Javonte Williams, handling 22 carries for 65 yards and adding one catch (one target) for five yards in Weeks 5 through 8 before being made inactive again in Week 9. The lack of receiving usage was disappointing to see, as that is one of the most appealing parts of Blue's prospect profile, but he essentially just spelled Williams and didn't see many creative play designs to get him the ball in space and use his 4.38 speed. It remains to be seen if Blue will play in the coming weeks and what his usage will look like if he is active.
