Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Jonathan Taylor

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders struggled in a 21-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Sanders was held to 19 yards on 13 carries while adding three catches for 13 yards in the loss. The veteran running back has been dealing with an assortment of injuries over the past few weeks, including a pectoral injury two weeks ago and a groin issue this past week. The various ailments could be affecting Sanders' production on the field as he was outgained by Chuba Hubbard, who finished with 41 rushing yards on 14 carries. Sanders will look to bounce back against the Detroit Lions on the road in Week 5.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will practice for the first time this year on Wednesday, and there's a chance he could make his 2023 debut this Sunday in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. Taylor last played in an NFL game last Dec. 17 before a lingering right-ankle injury forced him to Injured Reserve. He had surgery on Jan. 26, which kept him from offseason work and training camp while also dealing with an ugly contract impasse that led to a trade demand. The Colts have opened Taylor's 21-day window to return from the Physically Unable to Perform list. The 24-year-old is reportedly stoked to get back to playing, but fantasy managers that have had him stashed this whole time should temper expectations if he's officially active this Sunday.
