Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or James Cook

Saturday, November 8, 1:27 AM

Chuba Hubbard was relegated to the backup running back role again in Week 9. Last week, the fifth-year RB only played on 22% of snaps, recorded 17 yards on five carries, and logged 1.7 PPR fantasy points, which was his lowest in a single game this season. Since returning from a calf injury in Week 7, Hubbard has totaled 82 rushing yards and averaged 5.5 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. In that same span of time, Rico Dowdle outperformed Hubbard with 263 yards and 14.7 PPR fantasy points scored per game. Fantasy players should leave Hubbard on the bench as a handcuff to Dowdle until further notice. Those who don't roster Dowdle can consider cutting Hubbard before Sunday if they need to make any more roster room.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (ankle) is "good to go" for Sunday's matchup with their division-rival Miami Dolphins. Cook missed practice on Wednesday with what has been called an ankle injury, but was elevated to limited on Thursday. While his status for Friday's practice has yet to be disclosed, fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing he's ready to rock heading into the weekend. Miami has been one of the worst teams against the rush this season, and one of the friendliest toward fantasy running backs -- yielding the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the position (25.52). Cook owners can comfortably slot him into their lineups as a high-end RB1 in a smash Week 10 spot.
