Who Should I Start? Leonard Fournette or Josh Jacobs

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Leonard Fournette has been a nice addition to the team and continues to learn the offense. McDermott said that if not this week against the New York Jets, then the weeks ahead will be a "big-time consideration" for Fournette to be called up from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster. It sounds as though Buffalo will forge forward in Week 11 with James Cook and Latavius Murray in their backfield, but Lenny could be coming to the backfield rotation sooner than later with Damien Harris (neck) still on Injured Reserve and potentially out for the rest of the year. It remains to be seen how much of a role the 28-year-old Fournette will have with the Bills, but he's likely to be used mostly in short-yardage and goal-line situations.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a robust workload, rushing for 110 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jacobs' rushing yardage was over 100 yards for the second time this season. The Raiders running back broke off a 63-yard run for a touchdown in the second quarter to extend the Raiders lead. Despite the strong performance, Jacobs ceded receiving work to Ameer Abdullah again. The Raiders appear to favor Abdullah in most passing-down situations. Jacobs and the Raiders have a Week 13 bye week, so the team will have an extra week to rest and prepare for their Week 14 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings run defense has been strong this season, allowing the fourth-fewest yards per carry. Jacobs has proven a reliable asset this season, but fantasy managers must place him on the bench next week.
