Who Should I Start? DeeJay Dallas or Jonathon Brooks

Saturday, November 14, 9:10 AM

The Carolina Panthers have officially ruled running back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen) out for the Week 10 game on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Brooks was listed as doubtful on Friday's final injury report, but after returning to practice this week, he will remain on Injured Reserve for another week. The oft-injured 23-year-old will now not be eligible to return for the Panthers until Week 11 at home against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 22. With Brooks still out of the backfield picture in Carolina, Chuba Hubbard will have another opportunity to see the lion's share of the touches for the Panthers this weekend in New Orleans against the Saints. Brooks has not played since the win over the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 20 due to a core-muscle injury, and he had only nine carries for 30 yards in the first two games of the season, while also catching two of three targets for 43 yards as a receiver. When fully healthy, Brooks will serve in a change-of-pace role as the RB2 behind Hubbard, giving him stash appeal in fantasy football leagues for depth at the position or as a direct handcuff to Hubbard.
