Who Should I Start? Terrace Marshall Jr. or Xavier Hutchinson

Thursday, November 28, 1:07 PM

The Las Vegas Raiders have elevated running back Sincere McCormick from the practice squad and signed wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. to the active roster ahead of Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs. McCormick operated as Ameer Abdullah's backup last week, rushing five times for 33 yards (6.6 yards per carry). He could be active as the No. 2 option again this Friday if Alexander Mattison (ankle) isn't able to suit up. McCormick is off the fantasy radar in most fantasy leagues. Meanwhile, Marshall has played in just one game this season, suiting up for the Raiders last week against Denver. He played 11 percent of the offensive snaps but did not register a target. Marshall is off the fantasy radar in all leagues.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson should not be considered for lineups with the Texans set to play host to the Los Angeles Chargers in a Wild Card meeting on Saturday. The 24-year-old has played more often since Tank Dell (knee) was lost for the season, but still managed just four catches for 34 yards in the past three weeks. With wide receiver Diontae Johnson now in the fold and Robert Woods still around, it's tough to say which, if any, secondary receiver will emerge behind No. 1 option Nico Collins. Additionally, Houston's offense has averaged just 15.6 points in its past five games. Hutchinson wasn't a strong option anyway, but an uncertain target share and an unpredictable passing offense make him avoidable in playoff formats.
