Who Should I Start? Jarquez Hunter or Dylan Laube

Sunday, September 28, 12:35 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter doesn't figure to make an impact in this Sunday's matchup with the visiting Indianapolis Colts. The rookie has yet to make an appearance for LA on offense, although he's been out there on special teams over the last two weeks, and sported a modest increase in snaps from Week 2 to Week 3. The Auburn product offers the most athleticism of the Rams' backfield trio. However, Kyren Williams has yet to handle less than 70% of the Rams' offensive snaps in a given week, and has handily out-touched backup Blake Corum 4:1 (60-15). Hunter is an interesting hold in dynasty formats, but his path to relevance in redraft is less clear, as Williams dominates opportunities. He'll be off the radar in season-long leagues until garnering his first touch as a pro.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time this week against the Washington Commanders. Laube logged just 18% of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers but managed to catch two passes for 17 yards, flashing the receiving skills that made him a standout in college. Head coach Pete Carroll suggested the team may work him in more on offense after limiting him almost exclusively to special teams in Week 1. For now, Laube remains buried on the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty and Zamir White, leaving him without any immediate fantasy value. Still, the fact that the Raiders are looking to carve out a role for him in the passing game is a positive sign for his long-term outlook.
