Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Saturday, November 23, 4:58 PM

The Carolina Panthers have placed running back Miles Sanders (ankle) on injured reserve. The veteran playmaker suffered a significant ankle injury during Week 10 in Germany. He had already been ruled out for Week 12, and now his placement on IR will hold him out for a minimum of four games. Sanders has appeared in 10 games this season, totaling 139 rushing yards, 98 receiving yards, and one touchdown in a backup role behind Chuba Hubbard. Carolina will proceed with Hubbard in the lead-back role and Jonathon Brooks (knee) slated to make his NFL debut as the No. 2 option out of the backfield.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) is anticipated to play versus the Falcons in Week 16. The rookie was limited at practice throughout the week. However, he appeared to trend in a favorable direction heading into the weekend. The Giants' season has been a disaster. But Tracy at least has had a quality inaugural campaign, with the 25 year-old amassing 695 yards and five touchdowns off 151 carries. With that type of production, he deserves a spot in most fantasy lineups despite a difficult matchup against an Atlanta defense that has played well against the run. With that said, Tracy's likely availability will mean Devin Singletary will lose most of his streaming potential.
