Who Should I Start? Jarquez Hunter or Isaiah Davis

Wednesday, October 8, 12:31 AM

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Jarquez Hunter has yet to play an offensive snap for the Rams this season, but has contributed on special teams in Weeks 3 and 4. However, with both starter Kyren Williams and No. 2 back Blake Corum losing fumbles in a Week 5 loss to the 49ers, there could potentially be an opportunity for Hunter to earn some touches on offense. The rookie out of Auburn has a great athletic and production profile and was raved about by head coach Sean McVay. Hunter is a good name to hold in dynasty leagues, but he has a tough path to relevancy in redraft leagues.

Despite ascending in the team's backfield pecking order, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has not seen his opportunity translate to fantasy success and remains exclusively in a change-of-pace role for this Sunday's game with the visiting Carolina Panthers. In two appearances as the backup to running mate Breece Hall, the 23-year-old has accrued seven yards on three carries and four receptions for 27 yards (five targets). In contrast, Hall has racked up 40 touches over that time frame. If the veteran were ever to be traded, Davis projects to step in as the lead back and would undoubtedly be interesting for fantasy. In the meantime, he doesn't command enough work to garner standalone value. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR RB47 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.
