Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Jarquez Hunter

Friday, October 3, 7:08 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders (ankle, knee) missed practice all week and carries a questionable tag into Sunday's game against the hosting New York Jets at Met Life Stadium on Sunday. Although the team has not ruled Sanders out, he's not expected to suit up this weekend. Not that he was much of a flex play to begin with in fantasy lineups, but Sanders should not be counted on versus New York. With the 28-year-old unlikely to be available in Week 5, rookie Jaydon Blue is expected to be active for the first time this year -- Blue was a healthy inactive for the first four weeks. Sanders, in his first year in Dallas, has served in a change-of-pace role behind starter Javonte Williams so far, rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries (5.9 yards per tote). He has added eight catches for 30 yards. There's no guarantee Sanders will be available for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers if he's unable to play this weekend.

Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter doesn't figure to make an impact in this Sunday's matchup with the visiting Indianapolis Colts. The rookie has yet to make an appearance for LA on offense, although he's been out there on special teams over the last two weeks, and sported a modest increase in snaps from Week 2 to Week 3. The Auburn product offers the most athleticism of the Rams' backfield trio. However, Kyren Williams has yet to handle less than 70% of the Rams' offensive snaps in a given week, and has handily out-touched backup Blake Corum 4:1 (60-15). Hunter is an interesting hold in dynasty formats, but his path to relevance in redraft is less clear, as Williams dominates opportunities. He'll be off the radar in season-long leagues until garnering his first touch as a pro.
