Who Should I Start? Khalil Herbert or Isaiah Davis

Atlanta Falcons running back Khalil Herbert tallied just three touches in Week 9, gaining seven yards on his lone rush attempt and two yards on his two receptions. The Virginia Tech product has not been as effective as Brian Robinson (hamstring) was as the team's secondary option at running back, and figures to have a limited role again in Week 10 in a home matchup against the Chiefs. Kansas City has been a top-eight defense against the run in terms of fantasy points per game, holding teams to 97.5 yards rushing per game and just 3.6 yards per carry, and though they've been vulnerable to running backs catching passes out of the backfield, expect Bijan Robinson to get most of those looks as well, not Herbert. Though there is a chance he could vulture a touchdown at some point, he has zero red zone attempts in the last two weeks, so the limited touches he is getting are not high-value touches for fantasy. Consider the former sixth-rounder a low-end RB5 or Flex play with a near-zero floor and little upside unless something were to happen to Robinson.
