Week 10 fantasy football takeaways: TreVeyon Henderson has arrived

After another high-scoring week in the NFL, let's sift through the rubble and break down our four biggest fantasy football takeaways from Week 10. 

TreVeyon Henderson has finally arrived

After going in the fourth round or higher in many fantasy football drafts, Henderson was a bust for the first half of the season. That all changed in Week 10, as the rookie running back went for 150 total yards and two touchdowns (28.0 PPR points) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played a season-high 84 percent of New England's offensive snaps and made the most out of his increased workload. Henderson is a solid RB2 as long as RB Rhamondre Stevenson is out.

Keenan Allen is no longer startable

Allen was a top-10 fantasy wide receiver through seven weeks, but it's time to find a more trustworthy option for your starting lineup. In the Los Angeles Chargers' last three games, Allen has played just 51 percent, 37 percent and 25 percent of the team's offensive snaps. He's averaged only 2.7 catches and 6.1 PPR points per game in that span. It's time to shop Allen and attempt to trade for an upgrade. 

Woody Marks takes over the Texans' backfield

Nick Chubb has been a thorn in the side of Marks owners all season, but the rookie running back is starting to distance himself from the veteran. In Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Marks played a season-high 80 percent of the Houston Texans' offensive snaps to Chubb's 13 percent. The USC product performed well with his increased usage, as he rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and finished the game with 16.1 PPR points. 

Marks is clearly the most talented RB in Houston. If this usage split continues, the rookie will be a solid RB2 for the rest of the season.

Troy Franklin is the new WR1 in Denver

No one expected this development from the Denver Broncos. Over the last four games, Franklin has recorded 37 targets, 18 catches, 175 yards and four touchdowns. Courtland Sutton has 26 targets, 14 catches, 208 yards and one touchdown in that same span. Sutton didn't out-target Franklin in any of those games. 

Franklin has quietly averaged 15.8 PPR points over the last four games, and there's no reason that trend can't continue. Bo Nix and Franklin, who were college teammates at Oregon, clearly have a strong connection and should keep putting up points.
