Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Jahmyr Gibbs

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley set his season high for touches in a game last week against the Packers, carrying the ball four times and hauling in two catches. This resulted in 34 total yards, which is also his best in a single game this year. Philly's backfield has been tough to keep track of through the first 10 weeks, as Shipley, Tank Bigsby, and A.J. Dillon have rotated between the lead backup role behind Saquon Barkley. While Bigsby shined with over 100 rushing yards in Week 8, he got only 12.7% of offensive snaps against Green Bay compared to Shipley's 19%. Regardless of who gets the bulk going forward, Shipley is best left out of lineups this week against the Lions and should be rostered as a handcuff at best.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs struggled to find running room in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, handling 12 carries for 39 yards, but was dynamic as a receiver with a team-high five catches (eight targets) for 107 yards. Gibbs has now topped 140 yards or more from scrimmage in three of the past four games and was one of the few bright spots in a tough offensive showing from the Lions. The 23-year-old posted his highest receiving total of the season and his most receptions in a game since Week 3. That could be a featured part of Detroit's offense moving forward, with Sam LaPorta (back) placed on injured reserve earlier this week. Gibbs will again rank as one of the elite RBs in fantasy in Week 12 against the New York Giants.
