Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel Sr. or RJ Harvey

Monday, October 13, 7:28 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is officially active for the Monday night contest in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Samuel was only able to get in one limited practice going into Monday's game, which is why he was listed as questionable on Saturday's final injury report. However, he'll end up suiting up for Washington, which is good news, considering they will be without both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin, knee) for yet another game. It's possible that Samuel won't be entirely 100% health-wise on Monday, but he still deserves to be started in all fantasy lineups now that he's active. Samuel has been the Commanders' go-to offensive weapon through the air in the last two weeks with McLaurin and Brown out, and that shouldn't change much on Monday in a plus matchup. The 29-year-old will be looking to find the end zone for the third straight week.

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey was able to earn a season-best 41% of snaps in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, this was due to replacing J.K. Dobbins for the majority of the 4th quarter in a blowout win. The rookie running back will look to carve out a role against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. While Harvey will increasingly develop confidence in the coaching staff and through his own experience on the field, it's likely that, barring an injury to Dobbins, he will continue to be a change-of-pace back in closer games. The explosive rookie is developing some standalone value as a flex starter. Still, Dobbins' strong performances might continue to hold him back from reaching his actual ceiling as a talented 2nd round pick. Harvey is considered a solid FLEX play and is currently RB34 in the latest RotoBaller Week 5 rankings.
