Should I Start Darrell Henderson Jr. for Fantasy Football?
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. had 18 carries for 61 yards and a score in his season debut, but his numbers dropped against Dallas last week, as he had 12 carries for 31 yards. However, he had three receptions for 54 yards in the contest.
He saw 15 opportunities in that game while Royce Freeman saw nine, so he doesn't have a huge edge here. Still, he appears to be the lead back until Kyren Williams returns from the IR. Consider him a low-end RB2 play this week.
He is the RB22 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
Should I Start Aaron Jones for Fantasy Football?
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones continues to see light usage this season. Last weekend against Minnesota he had seven carries for 29 yards.
Jones is a talented back who always has the ability to bust out a big game, but until we see his volume grow, he's a low-end RB2 play with upside. He hasn't had more than 41 rushing yards in a game yet this season.
He is the RB23 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
Should I Start Nico Collins for Fantasy Football?
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has played well this season, but he's coming off his worst game of the year as he caught just four passes for 30 yards.
But Collins also has four games this season where he's finished with at least 80 receiving yards. He's a high-upside WR2 option most weeks, including Sunday against the Buccaneers.
He is the WR14 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
