Who Should I Start? Eric Gray or Kalel Mullings

Tuesday, May 6, 3:07 PM

According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, New York Giants running back Eric Gray is likely to be the odd man out in the team's running back room after the organization selected former Arizona State ball carrier Cam Skattebo in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. New York is likely to keep three running backs on the 53-man roster, and Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary are favorites to lock up those spots. Gray was a fifth-round pick out of Oklahoma in the 2023 NFL Draft and has racked up just 79 rushing yards and 31 carries, and 104 receiving yards on 16 receptions in 30 career games. While he could get a shot with another team, his early-career resume suggests he won't be on the fantasy football radar anytime soon. He is a safe drop in dynasty formats.

Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) is a strong candidate to operate as the team's No. 2 running back if he's healthy enough to play in Sunday's season opener against the Denver Broncos. There's a void on the depth chart behind Tony Pollard now that Tyjae Spears (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve, but Mullings' status is up in the air since he's dealing with an ankle issue of his own. We should get more information on his injury when the Titans publish their first practice report of the season on Wednesday. If Mullings is able to practice in a limited or full capacity at all this week, he'll have a chance to suit up for Week 1. If that happens, he would become an intriguing change-of-pace option behind Pollard while carrying some value as a potential stash in dynasty and redraft leagues. However, if Mullings doesn't play, he can be avoided in redraft formats while Julius Chestnut steps into a bigger role behind Pollard.
