Who Should I Start? Zavier Scott or Isaac Guerendo

Sunday, August 18, 1:30 PM

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.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (foot, hamstring) is limited in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Guerendo is dealing with two injuries and was unable to play in the Week 16 loss to the Miami Dolphins. It's good news that the 24-year-old is back on the practice field, but he might need to upgrade to a full practice in the next two days to avoid a questionable tag heading into a Monday night game against the Detroit Lions. Guerendo will operate as San Fran's lead back if he's available this week, but the problem is it might not be worth the risk leaving him in starting lineups for championship week in fantasy if he's uncertain to play on Monday night. Additionally, the matchup against Detroit's defense is not a friendly one for fantasy purposes. If Guerendo misses a second straight game, Patrick Taylor Jr. would be in line for a second straight start.
