Who Should I Start? A.J. Dillon or DJ Giddens

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.

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens was minimally involved in a Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. Giddens did not receive a carry and was unable to haul in his lone target while Jonathan Taylor hogged most of the backfield work, totalling 27 touches. The Colts will head on the road to face off against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, a team with a run defense that is allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs through two weeks. That being said, Giddens is unlikely to see much work this weekend unless the Colts get out to a big lead, leaving him as nothing more than a backend roster stash as a handcuff in fantasy leagues.
