Who Should I Start? Craig Reynolds or Ronnie Rivers

Wednesday, March 12, 7:44 PM

Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds has re-signed with the organization on Wednesday. The 28-year-old has agreed to a one-year deal with the Lions. Reynolds will now enter his fifth season as a backup option in Detroit. He has rushed for 650 yards with one touchdown over 48 games with the team. Reynolds would need a few injuries to happen before he would be someone worth considering in fantasy leagues, but this is a good depth move for Detroit.

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to re-sign running back Ronnie Rivers to a one-year deal. The contract amount has not been disclosed. Rivers has spent the last three seasons with LA, though he never garnered more than 32 carries despite appearing in 34 games since 2022. He's a versatile back and profiles to be a solid handcuff if ever called upon in that capacity. However, he's more of an asset on special teams for the Rams, piling up 75.7% of his 2024 snaps in that phase of the game. The 26-year-old will continue to vie for offensive snaps with backup Blake Corum behind incumbent starter Kyren Williams. Rivers can currently be ignored for fantasy purposes.
