Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Rachaad White

Saturday, August 16, 11:07 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders rushed for 15 yards on seven attempts during Saturday's preseason loss against the Baltimore Ravens. He was not targeted in the passing game. The veteran earned snaps in both the first and second quarters, but he was largely inefficient. Only two of his rushes went for more than three yards, and he averaged just 2.1 yards per carry. This is a concerning sign as the Cowboys continue to evaluate their running back room prior to officially naming a starter. Sanders is competing with veteran Javonte Williams, the early favorite for the lead-back role after not playing Saturday, and rookie Jaydon Blue (heel), who is dealing with an injury. Sanders is nothing more than a late-round dart throw who can be dropped if he doesn't produce in Week 1.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that running back Rachaad White (hamstring) is "day-to-day," according to Pewter Report. The third-year back figures to be a key part of the Bucs' offense when healthy, but the club surely will be cautious with nearly a month to spare before Week 1 games. Managers should keep an eye on the situation, as the prospect of a lingering injury will surely impact draft-day values for both White and backfield mate Bucky Irving.
