Who Should I Start? Chris Brooks or Zavier Scott

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks was the second back to enter the game for the Packers in their 20-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in their third and final preseason game. Brooks took over duties after Josh Jacobs received the first two snaps of the game. Playing seven snaps of his own, Brooks exited and gave way to Emanuel Wilson. In Brooks' seven snaps across the last play of the first drive and the first six plays of the next drive, Brooks took four carries for 15 yards. With the injury to MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) putting his Week 1 status in doubt, Brooks' entrance into the game ahead of Wilson seems to put Brooks as the preferred contingent play in Week 1 should Lloyd not be healthy. That said, Brooks should only be drafted in the deepest of leagues as a pure handcuff option.

Minnesota Vikings running back Zavier Scott turned in another quality performance on Saturday against New England, accumulating 44 receiving yards on three catches to go with 28 yards on 10 carries. While the former undrafted rookie didn't find much room on the ground, he once again proved dangerous with the ball in his hands as a pass catcher. After an uninspiring day from incumbent RB3 Ty Chandler, Scott looks to be making a serious case to be the third option out of the Minnesota backfield.
