Who Should I Start? De'Von Achane or Omarion Hampton

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains one of the few players from his team who can be relied on for fantasy football purposes. This week, he and the Dolphins are visiting the Falcons after taking a 31-6 beating last week in Cleveland. Achane still had a decent game in the loss, producing 82 rushing yards on 13 carries and adding three catches for 16 receiving yards. He didn't get into the end zone, but he still has six total touchdowns in his seven games this season. He'll look to get back into the end zone against the Falcons, who rank in the middle of the pack against running backs. They did give up two touchdowns to Christian McCaffrey last week, and Achane is very involved as both a rusher and receiver, giving him a high ceiling as this week's No. 5 RB in RotoBaller's rankings.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) was seen wearing a walking boot following the team's win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Hampton has required the boot ever since Week 5, when he injured his ankle and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. The rookie was spectacular when healthy, averaging 5.6 rushing yards per carry as the team's primary running back, as well as 5.7 receptions and 0.7 touchdowns per game. Fantasy managers are surely ready for Hampton to return so that he can continue to offer RB1 production, but they may have to be patient given that the rookie still hasn't been able to shed his boot. Kimani Vidal remains the lead running back in Los Angeles for the time being.
