Who Should I Start? Dylan Laube or Jaydon Blue

Tuesday, September 16, 7:07 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time this week against the Washington Commanders. Laube logged just 18% of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers but managed to catch two passes for 17 yards, flashing the receiving skills that made him a standout in college. Head coach Pete Carroll suggested the team may work him in more on offense after limiting him almost exclusively to special teams in Week 1. For now, Laube remains buried on the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty and Zamir White, leaving him without any immediate fantasy value. Still, the fact that the Raiders are looking to carve out a role for him in the passing game is a positive sign for his long-term outlook.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. The fifth-round rookie has now been a healthy scratch for each of the Cowboys' first two games of the season. In his absence, Miles Sanders will serve as the backup running back behind Javonte Williams. Sanders and Williams are the Cowboys' only two active running backs, but fullback Hunter Luepke should also see some blocking work in the backfield. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should be patient with Blue and hold onto him, as it's likely only a matter of time before he's active as the No. 3 running back or leapfrogs Miles Sanders for the backup job.
