Derrick Henry Week 12 Running Back Rankings

Fantasy Football Rankings: Top 10 Running Backs for Week 12

9) Quinshon Judkins vs. Raiders

This game is going to be a “snoozefest”. What do you expect when you have a showdown between Geno Smith and Shadeur Sanders? A lot of running plays, that’s what. While Ashton Jeanty will have his hands full trying to find room against Myles Garrett and the Browns, his fellow rookie counterpart should be able to have success against Maxx Crosby and Las Vegas. I don’t expect a ton of points to be scored, but if anybody is a “favorite” to find the end zone in this game, it’s Judkins. While he hasn’t found his way into the painted paradise at the end of the football field in his last three games, he still leads the team in total scores with 5 of the team’s 12 touchdowns. He’s also the only Cleveland player to score a rushing touchdown this season, so if the Browns are going to get into the end zone this week, it very likely will be Judkins.

10) TreVeyon Henderson vs. Bengals

We aren’t sure right now if Rhomondre Stephenson will play or not, but either way, I would start Henderson against the Bengals. Cincinnati is ranked dead last in the league at stopping the run, and Henderson doesn’t need a lot of touches to do damage. He also showed us (and hopefully Mike Vrabel) that he could be trusted at the goal line as he smashed into the end zone from short yardage against the Jets last Thursday during his 3-touchdown performance. There are some other backs with larger guaranteed workloads, like James Cook, Javonte Williams, Breece Hall, and Chase Brown, who all make fine starts this weekend. I just like the upside of Henderson in this matchup and would get him in my lineup if I had him.
