Who Should I Start? Jeremy McNichols or LeQuint Allen Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols has maintained his role as the team's primary back on pass downs for the majority of this season. McNichols has totaled 26 carries for 181 yards and a touchdown to go along with 15 receptions for 149 yards on 20 targets as a receiver. The veteran has two games with double-digit PPR points this season, with the first coming in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders when he broke off a career-long 60-yard touchdown run, and the second in Week 8 versus the Kansas City Chiefs when he racked up five receptions for 64 yards. McNichols' season high for touches is only six as he remains behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Jacory Croskey-Merritt, so the weekly floor for fantasy is still low, keeping him relevant primarily in deeper leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. saw a season-high eight carries during last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie back normally doesn't see much of the field, but got a chance last week. He made the most of it as he rushed for 36 yards on his eight attempts, which is 4.5 yards per carry. It was a decent showing from the rookie back who will now return to his role as the third string back. Both Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten have been cleared to play ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Unless an injury happens, Allen is going to have a minimal role as the third string back.
