Who Should I Start? DJ Giddens or Jordan James

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens was minimally involved in a Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. Giddens did not receive a carry and was unable to haul in his lone target while Jonathan Taylor hogged most of the backfield work, totalling 27 touches. The Colts will head on the road to face off against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, a team with a run defense that is allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs through two weeks. That being said, Giddens is unlikely to see much work this weekend unless the Colts get out to a big lead, leaving him as nothing more than a backend roster stash as a handcuff in fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James (finger) logged a week of full practices for the first time this season and carries no designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie missed the season opener while recovering from a broken finger suffered in August, and was a healthy scratch in Week 2 after logging just one full practice that week. Expectations for James in Week 3 should be kept to a minimum. The 49ers have employed a steady rotation of Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr., with third-stringer Isaac Guerendo yet to see an offensive snap. Unless McCaffrey or Robinson succumbs to an injury, James can be left off fantasy football rosters.
