Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Chris Brooks

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders (ankle, knee) has been moved to season-ending injured reserve, according to Patrick Walker of the Dallas Cowboys. Sanders was limited in practice on Wednesday before missing Thursday's practice, but now his season is over as he deals with multiple injuries to his ankle and knee. The 28-year-old served as the primary backup running back to Javonte Williams over the first four games of the season before missing Week 5. Rookie Jaydon Blue was active in his place and should step into a larger role now with Sanders out. Blue shouldn't be in lineups for Week 6, but he is an interesting speculative pickup ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks could possibly see a larger role on offense this weekend. Lead back Josh Jacobs (knee) is uncertain to suit up for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. If he sits, Emanuel Wilson is likely to take over as the lead back in Green Bay. That means, Brooks would move up to the primary backup if Jacobs is unavailable. Brooks hasn't played much this season, but that's not surprising for a third string back. He could be worth a look as a desperation flex play if Jacobs is ruled out.
