Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Emanuel Wilson

Friday, October 10, 5:02 PM

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 Emanuel Wilson hasn't seen much of the field this season, but could be more involved in Week 7. Lead back Josh Jacobs (illness, calf) is banged up heading into this contest. Right now, Jacobs is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game. If he sits, Wilson would offer streaming value as the lead back this weekend. Even as the backup, Wilson figures to have increased duties with Jacobs banged up. He's not worth starting right now, but could be worth a stash given Jacobs' status right now. Wilson could give running back needy fantasy managers an option if Jacobs is unable to go.
