Who Should I Start? Terrell Jennings or DJ Giddens

Tuesday, November 4, 9:02 AM

New England Patriots running back Terrell Jennings got his biggest workload of the season in Week 9 against the Falcons, and he converted his 11 carries to 35 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 24-23 win. He hauled in his only target for a nine-yard catch as well. The undrafted rookie from Florida A&M played just 17 snaps compared to TreVeyon Henderson's 51, but he was able to vulture the touchdown in the first half and finished with three red zone carries. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) missed Week 9, and if he's out agin in Week 10, Jennings would likely continue his role as a change-of-pace and red zone option in a timeshare with Henderson. In that scenario, he would have touchdown-dependent upside off waiver wires if you need help in the backfield.

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Giddens opened the year as the primary backup and handcuff behind Jonathan Taylor, but he seems to have fallen out of favor as the season goes on. Now, the rookie will watch from the sideline for the second week in a row. Ameer Abdullah and Tyler Goodson have both surpassed Giddens on the depth chart and will occupy depth roles behind Taylor once again this Sunday.
