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

Philadelphia Eagles running back A.J. Dillon was the only other member of the Philly backfield to get any action in Week 6, carrying the ball once and grabbing two receptions in the loss. Dillon played just 14% of snaps once again, but seems to have cemented himself as the primary handcuff option for if Saquon Barkley goes down. If managers have Barkley and some extra room on the bench, Dillon isn't a bad piece to add just in case. But for now, that's his only fantasy value. He should not be in lineups for his upcoming matchup against the Vikings.

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.
