Who Should I Start? Brian Robinson Jr. or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has turned the corner recently, posting consecutive RB2 finishes in the 49ers' last two games. Robinson's utilization in Week 10 and Week 11 was in line with past games, but with better results. Against the Giants and then the Rams, Robinson had his two highest rushing totals and scored a touchdown in each game. This trend has a good chance to continue in Week 11, when the 49ers face the Cardinals. Robinson saw just five snaps in the teams' last meeting in Week 3, but Arizona is coming off a game against Seattle where they allowed 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns to the Seahawks' backfield. Limited on touches, only another trip to the end zone would make starting Robinson in fantasy lineups worthwhile. He projects as an RB4 in Week 11.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has taken over as the team's lead back over the past two games with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season. After playing fewer snaps than veteran Devin Singletary in Week 9 against the 49ers, Tracy took back the lead role in Week 10, playing 65.7% of the snaps and handling 14 carries for 71 yards, and added one reception (two targets) for no yards. The first half was a struggle for the second-year back, gaining zero yards on five carries, but he bounced back with a strong second half and should have some positive momentum rolling into Week 11 against the Packers. Tracy could catch more passes with a less mobile Jameis Winston filling in for an injured Jaxson Dart (concussion) on Sunday, and ranks as RotoBaller's RB24 in PPR leagues.
