Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or J.K. Dobbins

Saturday, November 8, 1:27 AM

Chuba Hubbard was relegated to the backup running back role again in Week 9. Last week, the fifth-year RB only played on 22% of snaps, recorded 17 yards on five carries, and logged 1.7 PPR fantasy points, which was his lowest in a single game this season. Since returning from a calf injury in Week 7, Hubbard has totaled 82 rushing yards and averaged 5.5 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. In that same span of time, Rico Dowdle outperformed Hubbard with 263 yards and 14.7 PPR fantasy points scored per game. Fantasy players should leave Hubbard on the bench as a handcuff to Dowdle until further notice. Those who don't roster Dowdle can consider cutting Hubbard before Sunday if they need to make any more roster room.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) was held out of practice again on Thursday as he battles a foot injury he suffered in Week 10. The 26-year-old appears to be in serious jeopardy of missing his team's crucial Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, and earlier reporting has indicated that Dobbins may even be a candidate to be placed on Injured Reserve. Across 10 games this season, Dobbins has recorded 153 carries for 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns. If he is unable to play in Week 11, rookie running back RJ Harvey profiles as Denver's clear lead back, with Tyler Badie mixing in on passing downs as well. Dobbins' official status for Sunday won't be decided until later in the week, but fantasy managers would be wise to proceed as though he will not play in Week 11
