Who Should I Start? Dalvin Cook or Jahmyr Gibbs

Saturday, November 9, 6:56 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook won't be elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cook has been on the active roster for each of the last two games, but hasn't done much damage on the field. He has rushed eight times for 20 yards over his past two appearances. The Cowboys have decided to go a different route this weekend. Instead, Rico Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott, and Deuce Vaughn will split up the carries in the backfield. Out of the trio, Dowdle is the most reliable option with a 75-yard performance during last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Fantasy managers still holding onto Cook are probably safe to look elsewhere for help.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had one of the least productive games of his career in Week 9, recording just 28 yards from scrimmage on 12 touches in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 23-year-old has been much better for the season overall with 748 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 142 touches across eight games. Gibbs will be looking to rebound in Week 10 when Detroit faces the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks 22nd in yards per carry allowed (4.4) and 25th in total rushing yards allowed (1,118). Despite the favorable matchup, there is reason for concern along the Lions' offensive line. Detroit will be without starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg), and starting left tackle Taylor Decker is questionable to play due to a shoulder injury. Even still, Gibbs profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 10.
