Who Should I Start? George Holani or Khalil Herbert

Saturday, November 29, 9:41 PM

Per the team, Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury picked up in last weekend's 30-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Boise State product will now miss at least the next four games, with his earliest return date coming for the team's outing against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. In a corresponding move, Seattle signed veteran RB Myles Gaskin from their practice squad to the active roster. While Gaskin may work intermittently in place of Holani, he'll still be a distant third option behind teammates Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet in the Seahawks' backfield. Seattle's ground attack will get a dream matchup in Week 13 against a struggling Minnesota rush defense.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the New York Jets have signed running back Khalil Herbert to an undisclosed contract. Per Rapoport, the team placed running back Braelon Allen (knee) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The Virginia Tech product was recently signed to Seattle's practice squad, but he'll now add depth in New York's backfield. With Allen out, and backfield mate Kene Nwangwu's (hamstring) status up in the air, it's possible that Herbert will see work right away behind starter Breece Hall and backup Isaiah Davis. The 27-year-old doesn't figure to be slated for a fantasy-relevant role, but he's at least on the deep handcuff radar in case the assets in front of him were to miss any time. The Jets will take on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.
