Who Should I Start? Craig Reynolds or Kalel Mullings

Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds led his team in rushing yards during the team's 34-7 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night. Reynolds finished with 10 carries for 38 yards and one touchdown as a rusher, adding one catch for 10 yards as a receiver. The 29-year-old running back is entering his seventh NFL season and has been with Detroit since 2021. In 34 games for the Lions since the start of 2023, Reynolds has logged 72 carries for 318 yards and one touchdown. He appears to be fairly locked into the RB3 role in Detroit behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Reynolds would need an injury to one of those two backs to be relevant in fantasy, and even then, he would likely be a fringe flex option at best.

According to team reporter Jim Wyatt, Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) won't be activated for Sunday's contest against the Houston Texans. The rookie practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week. Although he's seemingly nearing a return from his lengthy stint on the IR because of an ankle injury, it appears he'll need at least one more game before potentially getting the green light to get on the field. Mullings didn't log a snap in any of his appearances this season. As long as Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are in the mix, that isn't expected to change even when he's cleared to come off the Injured Reserve list. As of now, the 23-year-old has no value for redraft participants. On the other hand, he can remain stashed in dynasty formats.
