Who Should I Start? Will Shipley or Trent Pennix

Sunday, January 5, 11:40 AM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley (concussion) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after he logged a full practice on Friday. Shipley has taken a backseat to Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell this season, but with Barkley inactive for Week 18, the rookie out of Clemson has a chance to earn increased opportunities. The 22-year-old has been mostly used as a ball carrier this season, rushing 20 times while failing to command a single target. He's likely headed for a change-of-pace role in Week 18, but with his exact involvement unknown, Shipley is tough to trust in fantasy football. He ranks as a low-end RB4 and should be avoided in most leagues.

Indianapolis Colts running back Trent Pennix (groin) was forced to leave the team's game on Sunday due to a groin injury. The 24-year-old rookie didn't see much work in their preseason debut on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. In his limited snaps, Pennix caught his lone target for seven yards and didn't receive any work on the ground. The severity of the groin injury is unknown at this time, but he'll look to get back on the field this week and compete to stick on the roster a depth option in the backfield.
