Who Should I Start? Chris Brooks or Jarquez Hunter

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks looks to build on his minor role within the Packers' offense as they travel to Cleveland to play the Browns in Week 3. Brooks has played well above fellow running back Emanuel Wilson this season and has gained more snaps from Week 1 (9) to Week 2's 13. Brooks could see a little more time on the field with Josh Jacobs (ankle) a bit banged up, though Jacobs came off the injury report after three limited practice sessions. While Brooks remains a clear role player for the Packers, Brooks' role would increase if something were to happen to Jacobs. Brooks' situational role with the Packers keeps him well away from starting consideration for fantasy in Week 3.

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Jarquez Hunter has yet to play an offensive snap for the Rams this season, but has contributed on special teams in Weeks 3 and 4. However, with both starter Kyren Williams and No. 2 back Blake Corum losing fumbles in a Week 5 loss to the 49ers, there could potentially be an opportunity for Hunter to earn some touches on offense. The rookie out of Auburn has a great athletic and production profile and was raved about by head coach Sean McVay. Hunter is a good name to hold in dynasty leagues, but he has a tough path to relevancy in redraft leagues.
