Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry is adamant that he’s going to play this Sunday for the Broncos despite the looming possibility that he’ll be handed a one-year suspension due to drug use. If that’s the case, that makes this situation even more complicated for fantasy owners.
If Henry is able to play while his appeal process is pending, that could free him to play for a reported four more weeks. If true, this is good news for Henry fantasy owners. It would give owners time to make replacement plans for Henry if he is indeed suspended.
Selvin Young is still a good waiver wire pickup at this point. If he’s on the waiver wire in your league, nab him. Also, if you have Henry but missed out on Young, it’d be worth a shot to send a trade proposal to see how valued Young is in your league.
Since the entire situation is clouded, other Denver running back options Cecil Sapp and Mike Bell should be lowered in value a bit. Neither player were highly valued to begin with. But if it’s going to be another month before this situation is cleared up, you might as well hold off on acquiring Sapp or Bell.
