Who Should I Start? Rashaad Penny or Isaiah Spiller

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny took three carries for nine yards and added one reception for five yards during the team's 34-28 win over the Minnesota Vikings. After being a healthy scratch last week against New England, the 27-year-old was able to make his way onto the active roster after Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) was ruled out Wednesday. However, it led to only four total touches as D'Andre Swift dominated the snap share out of the backfield to the tune of 181 total yards. Boston Scott (concussion) was given carries before Penny, and he could have taken them all if he had not exited the game early. The former Seattle Seahawk is buried on the depth chart and can safely be dropped to the waiver wire unless injuries occur ahead of him. We will have to wait and see if he will be active for the Eagles' next game against Tampa Bay.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Isaiah Spiller ran well despite limited chances in Sunday's preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. Spiller ran the ball five times, picking up 27 yards on the ground including a long of 18 yards. He ended up second on the team in running back carries behind Elijah Dotson, but outgained him by six yards regardless. Spiller, Dotson, and Joshua Kelley are competing for a role in the Chargers backfield behind starter Austin Ekeler.
