Who Should I Start? Jarquez Hunter or Isaiah Davis

Wednesday, October 22, 1:04 AM

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Jarquez Hunter was a healthy scratch for Week 7's game in London against the Jaguars. Hunter had been active for the Rams' previous five games, exclusively on special teams, but didn't suit up in London as Ronnie Rivers was brought up off the practice squad and was active as a depth piece behind starter Kyren Williams and second-year back Blake Corum. The fourth-round pick out of Auburn led the SEC last season with 6.4 yards per carry, and it remains to be seen whether he will earn any opportunities in the Rams' offense moving forward.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis could be in line for more work in this weekend's road meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it will remain difficult to trust him for fantasy. The second-year pro has seen his share of the backfield touch load taper off significantly over the last month or so, picking up just three targets and 11 carries over the previous five games. However, he could see an elevated workload in Week 15. Teammate Breece Hall carries no designation into Sunday's outing, although he dealt with a knee injury this week, potentially leading to the team scaling back his workload when they take on the hosting Jaguars. Furthermore, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Jets lean on the ground game with rookie signal-caller Brady Cook getting his first start under center. That said, Jacksonville has been one of the more challenging matchups for opposing rushers, yielding the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game (17.92) to the position. Even if Davis boasts an increased opportunity this Sunday, it doesn't figure to be impactful for fantasy. He'll rank as RotoBaller's PPR RB66 ahead of Week 15.
