Who Should I Start? Tyler Goodson or Jordan James

Sunday, September 7, 11:47 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) is officially inactive for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday versus the Miami Dolphin. Goodson was limited all week during practices with his elbow injury and was listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday. It doesn't appear to be a serious ailment for Goodson, but the Colts will keep him out for the first game of the season. His next chance to make his 2025 debut will be in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos next Sunday. With Goodson sitting in Week 1, it will give rookie DJ Giddens the opportunity to serve as the direct backup to starter Jonathan Taylor. Ulysses Bentley will be the RB3. The 24-year-old Goodson is off the fantasy radar for now and won't be worth a look on the waiver wire unless Taylor misses time with an injury this year.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jordan Watkins (coach's decision) and running back Jordan James (coach's decision) are both healthy scratches for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Watkins and James both missed last week's season opener, and even though they're healthy for Week 2, the rookies will watch Sunday's game from the sideline. Kendrick Bourne, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Skyy Moore will round out the wide receiver room behind Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Meanwhile, Isaac Guerendo will handle RB3 duties behind Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr.
