Who Should I Start? Tyler Goodson or Rasheen Ali

Tuesday, August 5, 9:08 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson is listed as the RB2 behind Jonathan Taylor on the team's first unofficial depth chart. Fifth-round rookie DJ Giddens has reportedly been a standout in training camp practices, but he's listed behind Goodson as the RB3 for the time being. Goodson is entering his third year with the Colts. In 16 games in 2024, Goodson recorded 214 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 43 total touches. While Taylor is expected to dominate carries and early-down work in Indianapolis, there should be an opportunity for the winner of the RB2 role to earn snaps on passing downs. Taylor also has a history of ankle issues, so either Goodson or Giddens could emerge as an intriguing late-round handcuff option with a strong preseason.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh noted that running back Rasheen Ali was "banged up" during Thursday's 24-16 win over the Colts. Ali finished with nine carries for 37 yards and a touchdown, continuing his bid for a roster spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. While the top of the depth chart is set, Ali remains a long shot for fantasy value in 2025 without injuries ahead of him. The rookie logged just 10 carries for 31 yards across six games in 2024. His camp status is worth monitoring, especially in deep leagues or for dynasty stash consideration.
