Who Should I Start? Kenneth Gainwell or Bijan Robinson

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell took four carries for 23 yards and was the first back on the field with the second-string unit against the Baltimore Ravens Friday night. Rookie Will Shipley soon came in to take over for the 25-year-old but was not nearly as efficient on his seven carries. Shipley was able to find the end zone at the end of the first quarter, catching a seven-yard pass from quarterback Kenny Pickett. Gainwell seems to have the inside track on the No. 2 job behind Saquon Barkley, but Shipley is proving that he can carve out his own role in the passing game and has been paired with Gainwell for kickoff returns.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson (hamstring) was added to the Week 6 injury report after putting in a limited practice on Thursday. Robinson was a full-go on Wednesday. His downgrade on Thursday is most likely just the Falcons giving him a little rest as the team prepares to take on the division-rival Carolina Panthers in Week 6. The 22-year-old was also listed with a hamstring injury before last Thursday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he played and handled 15 touches for 77 scrimmage yards. Drafted in the first round in fantasy drafts this year, Robinson has been a bust so far as the RB21 in half-PPR scoring through the first five weeks. However, he won't have a better bounce-back opportunity this weekend than against the 1-4 Panthers, as they have allowed the most points to opposing RBs this year. Bijan is a must-start in all lineups.
