Who Should I Start? Alec Ingold or Brashard Smith

Miami Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold (calf) and left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) are officially active for Week 12 against the New England Patriots. Ingold had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices in a row. He was healthy for Miami's first eight games before missing each of their last two contests. His return to the lineup gives the Dolphins an extra backfield blocker, as well as a big-bodied playmaker who can run the ball and catch passes. Armstead had also been listed as questionable, but his status was far more iffy given that he didn't practice at all this week. In the end, though, he's going to play against the Patriots, serving as a reliable protector for Tua Tagovailoa and the offensive backfield.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed rookie seventh-round running back Brashard Smith to a four-year, $4.33 million deal. Kansas City selected the 22-year-old with its final pick in April's draft, No. 228 overall. Smith spent the first three campaigns of his collegiate career as a Hurricane in Miami, and started just ten games, but was a do-it-all player contributing in the rushing, receiving, and return game. His move to SMU during his final season proved to be an excellent decision as he rushed for 1,332 yards and 14 touchdowns across 235 carries (5.7 YPC). The first year back has speed for days (4.39 40-yard dash) and stands out in that regard amongst other Kansas City rushers. While there's a steep climb to the top in terms of playing time, it wouldn't be surprising to see the former Mustang push for snaps. He's an intriguing late-round selection in dynasty rookie drafts for the time being.
