Who Should I Start? A.J. Dillon or Chris Brooks

Philadelphia Eagles running back A.J. Dillon is in line to back up Saquon Barkley against the Rams this week, with new backfield acquisition Tank Bigsby set to be third on the depth chart. This comes after RB Will Shipley has been ruled out with an oblique injury. Bigsby is yet to get any touches with his new team, and it's unlikely Dillon will get many looks either with Barkley seeing 81.3% of snaps on offense so far this season. While Dillon is the better option of the two benchwarmers, he's still not a reliable starting RB in fantasy for Week 3.

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks looks to build on his minor role within the Packers' offense as they travel to Cleveland to play the Browns in Week 3. Brooks has played well above fellow running back Emanuel Wilson this season and has gained more snaps from Week 1 (9) to Week 2's 13. Brooks could see a little more time on the field with Josh Jacobs (ankle) a bit banged up, though Jacobs came off the injury report after three limited practice sessions. While Brooks remains a clear role player for the Packers, Brooks' role would increase if something were to happen to Jacobs. Brooks' situational role with the Packers keeps him well away from starting consideration for fantasy in Week 3.
