Who Should I Start? Travis Homer or LeQuint Allen Jr.

Sunday, November 2, 9:17 AM

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer is expected to operate as the backup to Kyle Monangai after the team ruled out D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back). Homer spent the first six weeks of the season on injured reserve, and he has not yet registered an offensive snap in his two games since returning. He has played exclusively on special teams so far, but that should change this week. Not only will he handle some offensive snaps, but he'll likely see at least a handful of touches as the Bears look to take some of the workload off Monangai. It's unlikely we'll see Homer have fantasy relevance this week, but we'll certainly still hear his name called from time to time.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. saw a season-high eight carries during last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie back normally doesn't see much of the field, but got a chance last week. He made the most of it as he rushed for 36 yards on his eight attempts, which is 4.5 yards per carry. It was a decent showing from the rookie back who will now return to his role as the third string back. Both Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten have been cleared to play ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Unless an injury happens, Allen is going to have a minimal role as the third string back.
