Who Should I Start? Rashaad Penny or Rachaad White

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been a workhorse back for this offense early in the season. Last week, White rushed for over 70 yards in the victory over the Chicago Bears. Sadly, White wasn't able to carry over that success into the Monday night matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The second-year back rushed 14 times for 38 yards, while adding three receptions for 24 yards through the air. It's also worth noting that White lost a key fumble for the Bucs during this game. It was a tough game for White, but he should bounce back from this performance. He'll be on the flex radar for the Week 4 matchup versus the New Orleans Saints.
