Rashad Fenton should keep starting in place of Kendall Fuller

Fenton, who has been impressive the past several weeks, got his first NFL interception at a crucial point of the game. The Chiefs were only up by a touchdown with less than five minutes in the game, and Fenton made the big play to put the offense back onto the field and run out some more clock. He also had three tackles and another pass defended on the night.

Since replacing the injured Fuller, Fenton has been one of the better players in the secondary and has even outperformed Fuller in the position in his short time as a starter. It may be time to consider keeping the rookie as the starter even when Fuller returns, which will probably be after this week’s bye. This may allow for Fuller to play outside the numbers, where Fuller actually had better numbers in 2018. It will be interesting to see what Steve Spagnuolo does, but it would be a mistake to send Fenton back to the bench after he played at a high level the last few weeks.
