Who Should I Start? A.J. Dillon or Tyler Goodson

Philadelphia Eagles running back A.J. Dillon once again saw himself get priority over Will Shipley for second-in-command in the backfield this past Sunday, but that meant playing just 14.8% of offensive snaps compared to Shipley's 13.1%. Dillon carried the ball twice for 12 yards, with one attempt coming in the red zone. It seems like Shipley will get more usage in the passing game than his counterpart, being targeted twice while Dillon did not get any looks. Regardless, neither Dillon nor Shipley are involved enough to warrant a start in fantasy this week.

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders at Lucas Oil Stadium after missing practice all week, according to Amanda Foster of Colts.com. Goodson suffered the injury in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday. The 24-year-old second-year back has only been active for two games in four weeks for Indy due to injuries, and he only has two carries for six yards on the season as backfield depth for the Colts. Goodson has no business being rostered in the vast majority of fantasy leagues right now. With him missing yet another game, rookie DJ Giddens should serve as the backup for workhorse Jonathan Taylor against the Raiders, with Ameer Abdullah and Ulysses Bentley serving as additional depth.
