Who Should I Start? Craig Reynolds or Kalel Mullings

Thursday, July 31, 11:24 PM

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.

Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He is officially questionable to return. The rookie had not registered a statistic prior to his departure. Mullings entered this weekend listed as questionable with an ankle injury, so it's possible that he re-aggravated an existing ailment. With Tyjae Spears (ankle) on IR and Mullings sidelined for the moment, Tennessee's only healthy running backs are Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut.
