Who Should I Start? Zavier Scott or Frank Gore Jr.

Indianapolis Colts running back Zavier Scott rushed the ball 11 times for 55 and a touchdown in the team's win against the Cardinals on Saturday. Scott led all running backs in carries and yards as Indy mixed in four different backs for the game. The former Maine Black Bear spent last season primarily on the Colts' practice squad and will continue to fight for a spot on the 53-man roster this season. Scott has one more chance to solidify himself when the Colts face off against the Bengals for their final preseason game on Thursday.

The Buffalo Bills elevated rookie running back Frank Gore Jr. from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster for Monday night's divisional showdown against the New York Jets. This could be a sign that James Cook (toe), who was listed as questionable to play in Week 6, may not be available to play on Monday night. But the Bills could also be electing for extra backfield depth behind Cook, Ty Johnson and rookie Ray Davis. Fantasy managers should know Cook's official status for Monday's primetime contest in another hour. The 22-year-old Gore hasn't played at all through the first five weeks of his rookie season in the NFL after going undrafted out of Southern Miss. At best, Gore could see some short-yardage work for Buffalo whenever he makes his NFL debut, but he can be ignored in all single-year fantasy formats for the time being.
