Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Rachaad White

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has struggled to find much room to run over the last few games. Last week, White was held to 38 rushing yards on 10 attempts during the loss to the New England Patriots. White has been held to 38 rushing yards or fewer in each of his last three games. The 26-year-old will make at least one more start with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) still sidelined. White does have a plus-matchup against a Buffalo Bills defense that is allowing 5.4 yards per carry. There's enough upside here to consider White a RB2 for this weekend.
