Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Bhayshul Tuten

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that running back J.K. Dobbins' transition to the offense has been "swift." It appears that the Broncos' decision to sign Dobbins in early June so that he could enter the offseason break with the playbook was a good move. Dobbins is going to share the backfield with rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey in his first year in Denver, but so far in training camp, the 26-year-old former Raven has seen most of the work with the first-team offense. Harvey could easily take over the early-down role for the Broncos sooner than later in 2025, but if Dobbins can stay healthy, he should be in play in PPR fantasy leagues as an RB3/flex option. Dobbins played in just nine games from 2021-23 due to injuries and also missed four games in 2024 with the Chargers due to an MCL sprain, so the lengthy injury history is certainly concerning.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (hamstring) remains out of training camp practice on Monday and is day-to-day with a hamstring injury, according to head coach Liam Coen. It doesn't sound like a serious injury for Tuten, but any time missed for a rookie in camp is notable. The 23-year-old fourth-round selection will most likely serve in the No. 3 role in his first NFL season behind Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne Jr., which means he'll be left to the waiver wire in standard-size formats to begin the season. The 5-foot-9, 206-pounder has blazing speed, though, so he's a big play waiting to happen when he's on the field. However, unless Bigsby or Etienne are sidelined by injury or the Jags trade Etienne, it's hard to envision Tuten being on the field for more than a handful of snaps initially in 2025.
