Wendell Smallwood

Eagles expected to use committee against Giants Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement will both be used Week 6 against the New York Giants on Thursday night, believes Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

What It Means:

Berman notes that the Eagles are "happy" with Smallwood's play and they seem to trust him more than they did last season, but he envisions a "mix" of the two backs on Thursday. Mike Kaye of NJ.com expects a slightly Clement-friendly split due to his "red-zone upside and receiving ability."

Smallwood is currently the RB24 and Clement is the RB26 in numberFire's Week 6 fantasy rankings. They respectively cost $5,500 and $5,000 on FanDuel.
