Derrick Henry or JK Dobbins Week 12 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy Football projections for RBs ahead of MNF clash

The running back position is arguably the most important in Fantasy Football and Week 12 ends with a great Monday night game with two solid RBs. Fantasy managers may have to decide between Derrick Henry and JK Dobbins. But who is the better option?

Is Derrick Henry a good fantasy option?

Derrick Henry is a great fantasy option and is one of the best running backs in Fantasy Football.

Henry gets plenty of carries. After not running that much in these last two games, he should get more carries here. Henry will likely be in line for 15+ carries in this spot and is a great red-zone threat.

Henry will likely get a rushing touchdown or two in this spot, which will help his fantasy case.

Is JK Dobbins a good fantasy option?

Dobbins has gotten 10+ carries in every game he's played in and is good for around 14 and will be able to rush for 50+ yards. He's also a good red zone threat to get a rushing touchdown or two.
