Who Should I Start? De'Von Achane or Jaydon Blue

Friday, November 7, 7:47 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane continues to be an elite option in a struggling offense, coming into his Week 10 matchup with the Bills. Achane could get even more work than normal with Ollie Gordon II (ankle) questionable and some extra rest since the Dolphins last played on Thursday Night Football over a week ago. Achane rushed 14 times for 67 yards in the Dolphins' Week 9 loss to the Ravens, adding six receptions for 39 yards. He had 12 carries for 62 yards and seven catches for 29 yards the first time he faced Buffalo this season, and he should be very busy once again on Sunday at home. He has seven touchdowns in nine games this season, and his consistent PPR involvement keeps both his floor and ceiling very high. He has logged double-digit carries every week since Week 1, while racking up 56 targets in those seven games. This week, he is the No. 4 RB in RotoBaller's rankings, making him an elite start in all formats.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue and wide receiver Jonathan Mingo are both healthy scratches for the team's Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer was very critical of Blue following the Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos, in which Blue had a costly fumble. The 21-year-old will now be inactive this week in favor of Malik Davis as Dallas' RB2 behind starter Javonte Williams. It's a step back for Blue, who didn't make his NFL debut until Week 5 for the Cowboys. In his four games played, the fifth-rounder out of Texas has carried the ball 22 times for 65 yards (3.0 yards per carry) while adding one catch for five yards. While Blue probably won't be in the doghouse for the rest of the season, he's in street clothes on Monday night and has currently lost out on the RB2 role in Dallas.
