Who Should I Start? George Holani or Phil Mafah

Sunday, November 23, 2:30 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 12 matchup against the Tennessee Titans due to a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old did not record a carry or earn a target before exiting the game. Holani plays the RB3 role in Seattle behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet. Without Holani, Walker III and Charbonnet will now handle all of the Seahawks' backfield work for the remainder of Week 12. More information on the severity of Holani's injury should come following the game.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Phil Mafah (shoulder) has been placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least the first four games of the regular season with a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason finale. The seventh-round pick out of Clemson showed flashes in the preseason with 15 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown, good for a solid 3.9 yards per carry. Standing six-foot and weighing 234 pounds, Mafah's big-bodied, between-the-tackles style was impressive in his final college season, rushing for 1,115 yards and eight touchdowns. His placement on IR is a setback, but with the Cowboys' current running back situation, a potential revolving door of Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, and Jaydon Blue, Mafah remains a potential contributor later in the season. He is worth a roster spot in deeper dynasty leagues. Still, his fantasy value will stay uncertain until he returns to full health and the backfield situation becomes clearer throughout the season.
