Who Should I Start? Jacob Kibodi or Will Shipley

Sunday, August 25, 8:37 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Jacob Kibodi strung together an impressive performance in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. Kibodi carried the ball 12 times for 59 yards and two touchdowns, making his biggest impact yet this preseason. The 25-year-old undrafted rookie out of Louisiana is fighting for a spot on the practice squad with Fresno State product Jordan Mims, who has had a solid preseason.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley took five carries for 15 yards and caught all four of his targets for 31 yards during the team's 14-13 win over the New England Patriots. Kenneth Gainwell again got the start Thursday night with the second-team offense but was replaced much earlier this week by Shipley, who saw snaps with No. 2 quarterback Kenny Pickett. The rookie only saw one target last week, but was targeted by both quarterbacks throughout the game and was far more efficient with them than Gainwell. While Shipley may open the season as the No. 3 on the depth chart, he can easily push for passing down snaps and earn more playing time as the season rolls on unless Gainwell can step it up compared to last year. Neither will retain any fantasy relevance in redraft leagues unless Saquon Barkley misses time.
