Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Omarion Hampton

Monday, December 1, 5:26 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 21 times for 85 yards and caught three of his five targets for 36 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Taylor was held out of the end zone for the second straight game, although he was able to offset that with a solid afternoon in the passing game. The veteran running back has been excellent this season, rushing for 1,282 yards while catching 35 passes for 304 yards and scoring 17 all-purpose touchdowns. He will remain a high-end RB1 in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie first-round running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) ditched his non-contact jersey on Friday and was upgraded to a full participant in practice, according to the team. Hampton returned to practice last week and put in four straight limited sessions (including Thursday) before being a full-go on Friday, which is a sign that he's on track to be activated from Injured Reserve in order to play on Monday night versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The 22-year-old former Tar Heel has not played since fracturing his ankle in Week 5. Hampton is feeling good and is trending toward a return in Week 14, but will he immediately have a workhorse role in the Bolts' backfield? The Chargers' coaching staff has hinted that he'll be in more of a timeshare with Kimani Vidal in his first game back, which would make him a more volatile RB3/flex in fantasy, especially against strong Eagles defense.
