Who Should I Start? Tyrone Tracy Jr. or Bhayshul Tuten

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) was carted off the field during the fourth quarter of Monday's blowout loss to the Patriots, but on Tuesday, the second-year back told reporters it was merely a hip contusion/stinger and that he is fine. Despite missing two games earlier this season with a shoulder injury, Tracy leads a banged-up Giants offense in rush attempts and yards, and had been enjoying his most productive three-game stretch of the season heading into Monday night. The Giants now face a Week 14 bye, so fantasy managers will need to wait an additional week for any official injury reports, but if healthy for Week 15, Tracy remains a low-ceiling flex candidate for the fantasy playoffs.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten experienced a breakout performance during the Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie back rushed 15 times for 74 yards and a touchdown during the victory. Outside of that, Tuten has been held to under 45 rushing yards in every other game. He remains the No. 2 option with Travis Etienne Jr. leading the way. The 23-year-old is set to back up Etienne once again in Sunday's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Most weeks, Tuten doesn't even see 30 percent of the offensive snaps. However, the forecast for Jacksonville calls for heavy rain, so Tuten could see more opportunities as the Jaguars might lean on the run more with inclement weather. Tuten hasn't been consistent enough to trust yet and is a low-end flex option in Week 14.
