Fantasy Football Player Notes

Playing 37% of snaps and having 11 carries for a crisp 100 rushing yards might be the most Derrick Henry performance of all time. Unfortunately, he did not explode against a brutal Bengals defense, but he still managed to rack up enough yards to help your fantasy week. What is most concerning is that despite a positive game script, he only saw 37% of snaps. In past December games with this script, Henry would be almost guaranteed 30 touches. Instead, we saw Keaton Mitchell involved, carrying the ball eight times for 66 yards. December Derrick may not be what he has been in the past, and now he faces a tough Patriots defense. Even though James Cook exploded for three touchdowns against them last week, they are allowing only 70 rushing yards and 0.4 RB touchdowns per game since Week 10.
