Does the ‘starting’ running back matter?

The Miami Dolphins are nearly a week into their 2019 training camp, with a lot of focus on the offensive line and the quarterbacks. Another interesting situation is happening, however, as Kalen Ballage continues to take the first-team snaps at running back, while Kenyan Drake - the presumed starter - is working as the second runner. It is not the order in which the running backs were expected to see work, and it is happening each day, meaning this could become the way we see the two runners on game day.

But, does it matter who is the “starting” running back?
