Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Brian Robinson Jr.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey tied Jerry Rice's all-time 49ers record by scoring a touchdown for the 12th straight game in Thursday night's dominant win against the New York Giants. McCaffrey, 27, finished the night with 85 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. He also caught all five of his targets for 34 yards receiving. In a juicy matchup against a New York defense that had struggled to stop the run, McCaffrey was his usual self, combining elusiveness with power. His fantasy day was limited by head coach Kyle Shanahan keeping his promise to get other running backs involved, though his 23 touches matched last week's. He has plenty of time to rest up before an October 1 date at home against the Arizona Cardinals.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 10 carries for 70 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. Even with such a demoralizing loss, Robinson managed to have a productive day for himself. The game quickly got away from the Commanders, so the run game was not leaned on as much as it was in their previous two games. However, with just 10 touches, the former Alabama back looked solid with multiple strong gains. Robinson will hopefully see more opportunities against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4.
