Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Tyjae Spears

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.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has seen a fairly minimal role since returning to the field in Week 5. Over the last two games, Spears has rushed 10 times for 53 yards and has been held out of the end zone. It might not seem great on paper, but Spears registered 6.2 and 4.4 yards per carry during those two games. The biggest problem is that he's stuck behind Tony Pollard on the depth chart. At the moment, Spears is doing a better job rushing the ball, so hopefully he'll get more carries going forward. It's also worth noting, Spears has seven receptions over his last two games, so he's getting chances in the receiving game as well. As mentioned, Pollard is the lead back, so Spears probably won't offer anything more than flex value during the Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
