Who Should I Start? Juanyeh Thomas or Akayleb Evans

Dallas Cowboys safety Juanyeh Thomas (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Thursday's game against the New York Giants. Thomas was seen grabbing his knee following a kickoff. Thomas scored his first career touchdown last week on a punt return that went for 43 yards. Throughout the season, the 24-year-old has been deployed primarily as a special teams option but did log a season-high 23 defensive snaps last weekend against Washington. As a result, fantasy managers in IDP leagues should expect Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson to see a slight increase in snaps.

Minnesota Vikings defensive back Akayleb Evans has been waived by the organization on Saturday. This seems like a bit of an odd move considering Evans was a full-time starter last season. He finished with 65 tackles, three fumbles forced, and one interception in 15 games with the Vikings in 2023. Since then, Evans has mainly been playing on special teams this season and has only two tackles in seven games. The former fourth-round pick will look to catch on elsewhere. There should be another organization willing to give the 25-year-old a chance to earn a spot on a roster.
