Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Khalil Herbert

Monday, October 2, 4:35 AM

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.

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert made easy work of the Denver Broncos defense in Week 4. Before the game, the expectation was that Roschon Johnson was going to see a majority of the carries. However, that wasn't the case during Sunday's contest. Herbert rushed 18 times for 103 yards, while hauling in four receptions for 19 yards and a touchdown in the loss. This was an odd outburst in usage for Herbert who saw only 14 carries combined during the past two games. It remains to be seen what kind of role he'll have in the Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Herbert will be a low-end flex option for that contest.
