Who Should I Start? Kene Nwangwu or Cody Schrader

Sunday, October 5, 11:30 AM

New York Jets running back Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) was downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. This hardly comes as a surprise after Nwangwu missed all three practices earlier this week. The 27-year-old is headed for his fourth consecutive absence, leaving Isaiah Davis in line to handle kick return duties once again.

Los Angeles Rams running back Cody Schrader rushed for 48 yards on 13 carries during Saturday's preseason win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught two of his three targets for an additional 24 receiving yards. Through two preseason games, Schrader has a total of 140 yards. The Missouri product entered this preseason on the outside looking in. He still faces an uphill battle to make the team, as Kyren Williams, Jarquez Hunter, and Blake Corum are essentially roster locks. However, if Los Angeles opts to carry four running backs, Schrader has made a case for himself over Ronnie Rivers. Regardless of Los Angeles' final roster decisions, Schrader will be several rungs away from an impactful role. He should be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.
