Who Should I Start? Dylan Laube or Kalel Mullings

Monday, November 25, 2:03 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube did not receive a single opportunity out of the backfield in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Denver Broncos. The rookie returned one kickoff for a gain of 59 yards. It was disappointing to see the 24-year-old finish the game with no backfield work on a day when Zamir White (quad) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) were both held from the contest with their respective injuries. Instead, Ameer Abdullah led the way with a 90% snap share, with Sincere McCormick picking up the other 10%. Laube has participated on just one snap in his first NFL campaign, fumbling away his lone carry. It appears he's buried deep in the Raiders' depth chart and will continue his role on special teams alone for now. Las Vegas will line up against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead in Week 13.

Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) is a strong candidate to operate as the team's No. 2 running back if he's healthy enough to play in Sunday's season opener against the Denver Broncos. There's a void on the depth chart behind Tony Pollard now that Tyjae Spears (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve, but Mullings' status is up in the air since he's dealing with an ankle issue of his own. We should get more information on his injury when the Titans publish their first practice report of the season on Wednesday. If Mullings is able to practice in a limited or full capacity at all this week, he'll have a chance to suit up for Week 1. If that happens, he would become an intriguing change-of-pace option behind Pollard while carrying some value as a potential stash in dynasty and redraft leagues. However, if Mullings doesn't play, he can be avoided in redraft formats while Julius Chestnut steps into a bigger role behind Pollard.
