Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or J.K. Dobbins

Monday, November 27, 9:40 AM

Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary saw his rushing opportunities take a hit with the return of Dameon Pierce but was efficient enough with his receptions to not burn fantasy managers. Singletary converted six carries into 18 yards and six catches into 54. Pierce, the starter before his ankle injury, was given just six total opportunities. The Texans were playing from behind the majority of the afternoon and also ran ten fewer plays than the Jaguars. It was an encouraging sign that Singletary still received the lion's share of the backfield work, even if there weren't a lot of touches to go around. The Texans face the Denver Broncos in Week 13, who allow chunk yardage on the ground. Expect Singletary to be in the RB2 range again for that matchup.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) is expected to undergo surgery on Friday for his torn Achilles, according to a source. Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers recovered in less than six months from a torn Achilles two years ago, and Dobbins is aiming for a similar timeline with his recovery. In any event, fantasy managers in redraft leagues can safely drop Dobbins after just one week of the 2023 season. The 24-year-old will enter free agency next March, but he'll have to prove his health before any other teams take a chance on the injury-prone running back. With Dobbins now out of the picture, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will share Baltimore's backfield, with veteran Melvin Gordon III expected to join the roster from the practice squad.
