Who Should I Start? Ezekiel Elliott or Miles Sanders

Sunday, September 24, 4:44 PM

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed 16 times for 80 yards against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon. He also delivered a seven-yard reception. When all was said and done, Elliott had three fewer carries than Rhamondre Stevenson but led the team in rushing yards. It's still hard to trust the veteran as a steady fantasy option going forward, but he could have occasional RB3/FLEX appeal based on matchup. The Patriots face a stout Cowboys defense in Week 4.

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders carried the ball nine times for 24 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches for 38 yards in a 37-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. Sanders dealt with a pectoral injury during the week leading up to his Week 3 game but he showed no ill effects on Sunday. Despite a pedestrian day on the ground, Sanders finished third on the team with nine targets, giving him 20 over his first three games of the season. The veteran running back has yet to post a breakout game but his usage in the passing attack is encouraging moving forward. Sanders' next game will be against the Minnesota Vikings at home.
