Who Should I Start? Donta Foreman or Miles Sanders

Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman is a healthy scratch on Thursday night for the third straight week against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Now that Jerome Ford is back to full health, Foreman has fallen to fourth on the RB depth chart in Cleveland behind Nick Chubb, Ford and Pierre Strong Jr. As long as none of the trio are injured against Pittsburgh, Foreman figures to be a healthy scratch again in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. The 28-year-old opened the 2024 campaign with a bigger role alongside Ford while Chubb recovered from a gruesome knee injury the year prior. In eight games in his first year with the Browns, Foreman hasn't been very effective, averaging a weak 3.4 yards per carry for 155 rushing yards and no touchdowns on 46 rushing attempts. He's added five catches for 46 yards.

The Carolina Panthers have placed running back Miles Sanders (ankle) on injured reserve. The veteran playmaker suffered a significant ankle injury during Week 10 in Germany. He had already been ruled out for Week 12, and now his placement on IR will hold him out for a minimum of four games. Sanders has appeared in 10 games this season, totaling 139 rushing yards, 98 receiving yards, and one touchdown in a backup role behind Chuba Hubbard. Carolina will proceed with Hubbard in the lead-back role and Jonathon Brooks (knee) slated to make his NFL debut as the No. 2 option out of the backfield.
