Who Should I Start? Kalel Mullings or LeQuint Allen Jr.

According to team reporter Jim Wyatt, Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) won't be activated for Sunday's contest against the Houston Texans. The rookie practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week. Although he's seemingly nearing a return from his lengthy stint on the IR because of an ankle injury, it appears he'll need at least one more game before potentially getting the green light to get on the field. Mullings didn't log a snap in any of his appearances this season. As long as Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are in the mix, that isn't expected to change even when he's cleared to come off the Injured Reserve list. As of now, the 23-year-old has no value for redraft participants. On the other hand, he can remain stashed in dynasty formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back LeQuint Allen Jr. enters Week 2 as the team's RB3 on the updated depth chart. In the season-opening win over the Carolina Panthers, Allen logged one carry for seven yards and added one reception for four yards, while Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby dominated the backfield with 83% of the snaps and 21 of the team's 25 rushing attempts. With Bigsby now traded to Philadelphia, the door is open for Allen and fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten to carve out roles behind Etienne. While Tuten came in with more hype as a prospect, Allen's receiving skills could earn him passing-down work. He'll draw a favorable matchup in Week 2 against the Bengals, who just allowed Browns running back Dylan Sampson to lead his team in receptions. Allen remains unstartable in fantasy for now, but his skill set makes him a name worth monitoring as the Jaguars' backfield evolves.
