With Henry coming back from his injury for the first game in a while, I expect it to be a near split. Playing Oakland, both should be good plays today.Any late breaking news would be great but right now it appears henry starts and young gets some PT. So until we hear something differently, the question becomes how good a play is Henry. So to get some collective perspective how about giving us your "starting him over" or "benching him for" decisions.Right now I sm starting him over Maroney.
I am a Young owner and I'm benching that Maroney dud in favour of a guy who is a RB2 in Denver. However, I may bench Young in favour of Ward. If Henry gets hot, Shanny rides him to death.Any late breaking news would be great but right now it appears henry starts and young gets some PT.

Six words: RAIDERS DEFENSE CAN'T STOP THE RUN.Henry is expected to be the starting RB today, with Selvin also getting touches. Looks more like RBBC. I wouldn't touch these guys with a 10 foot poll in a meaningful fantasy game (own both, benching both)
4 words: I HAVE BETTER OPTIONSOne thing I've learned over years and years of fantasy sports is that if you get too caught up in playing matchups you end up regretting it more than you end up patting yourself on the back for it.Henry is a great play today if he's healthy. In fact I've been waiting for this matchup for months... but 1) he is coming off a torn PCL... the PT side of me tells me to stay away2) Selvin Young has impressed when given the chance... and has done better than Henry when they both play3) Shannahan ruins fantasy teams when people try to figure out which RB to play... better off just starting your better options and waiting for one to get hurt this week and start the other next week.4) I was caught up in the DEN RB last year and it was a headache I didn't want again... unfortunately Henry couldnt hold onto the starting job in DEN (couldn't stay healthy) and here I am againGood luck playing both, or one, or whatever you're doing this weekSix words: RAIDERS DEFENSE CAN'T STOP THE RUN.Henry is expected to be the starting RB today, with Selvin also getting touches.
