Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Blake Corum

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins carries solid RB2 value facing the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Dobbins was expected to split the backfield with rookie RJ Harvey early in the season. However, the veteran appears to be viewed as the clear leader for the time being, as he took 16 carries while Harvey took only six in the season opener. Dobbins was also very productive operating as the lead back, tallying 63 yards and a score during their victory over the Titans. As a pass catcher, Dobbins was able to bring in both of his targets for five yards. Last season, the 26-year-old enjoyed a career season playing for the Chargers, totaling 905 yards and nine scores across 13 contests. While Harvey will likely see his role grow over the season, for the time being, this appears to be Dobbins' backfield. As a result, he carries solid RB2 value facing the Colts.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum should remain an afterthought in the team's offensive attack against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. While Corum is a solid handcuff, he lacks fantasy appeal as long as Kyren Williams. Just last week, he played only 17 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with one rushing attempt and one reception. While it's encouraging that he was the only Rams running back not named Williams to register a snap, his incredibly low usage indicates that he's not a priority option in this offense. Even in a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans this week, Corum has a very low floor and can be left on the bench or the waiver wire.
