Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or D'Andre Swift

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant again on Tuesday in the team's walkthrough practice. Jones suffered a left-hamstring injury in the season opener and has now missed back-to-back games, but this was the fourth straight limited practice, giving him a shot to suit up on a short week this Thursday night against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Despite the fact that Jones appears to be making progress, the 28-year-old could very be questionable on Wednesday's final injury report and could be a game-time decision on Thursday. If he makes his return in Week 4, don't be surprised if the Packers limit his snaps and ease him into the backfield. Backup AJ Dillon has totally flopped so far in an expanded role the last two weeks with Jones sidelined.

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift took 16 carries for 130 yards and added one reception for eight yards during the team's 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old gained over 100 yards on the ground for the second week in a row. He averaged 8.1 yards per carry, led the team in total carries, and was clearly the best back on the field for the Eagles. Kenneth Gainwell ended the night with 14 carries but saw eight of those on the game's final drive, where Philadelphia was trying to drain the clock. Swift will always mix in with another back, his injury history dictates that he is kept fresh, but he is the clear top back for the Eagles moving forward and has top-12 upside every week. The Georgia alum will be a must-start against the Washington Commanders next week.
