Who Should I Start? Ellis Merriweather or Dylan Laube

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Dylan Laube has been a healthy scratch since losing a fumble in the Oct. 13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he could be a big part of the game plan in Week 12 against the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday with both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) in danger of being held out due to injuries sustained in the Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Along with Laube, Ameer Abdullah would also have a bigger role in the backfield if both Mattison and White are inactive. The 24-year-old fumbled on the first rushing attempt of his career, and he hasn't gotten another chance since then. We wouldn't recommend Laube for starting fantasy lineups if both Mattison and White are out, as the Raiders rank dead last in rushing yards per game (75.2), while the Broncos have allowed only 98.6 rushing yards per game (sixth-fewest in the NFL).
