Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Cam Skattebo

Friday, November 7, 2:57 PM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) briefly left Thursday night's win over the Raiders after having his foot pinned awkwardly beneath a defender's body during a third-quarter rush attempt. While he was able to return to the game, Dobbins and the team are now awaiting a second opinion to determine the severity of the foot injury. Dobbins has been a workhorse for the Broncos all season long, and in a game bereft of offensive highlights, he still managed a respectable 77 yards on 18 carries. Dobbins will now benefit from the post-TNF mini-bye before a Week 11 matchup with the Chiefs, and then the team's actual Week 12 Bye. If Dobbins is forced to miss time, RJ Harvey becomes the obvious next-man-up. However, having topped seven carries only once this season, there should also be an expectation for Tyler Badie and/or Jaleel McLaughlin to see an expanded role.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery last week, but he is not expected to face a very complicated rehab process, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Although the rookie suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and ruptured deltoid ligament in Week 8, he quickly underwent successful surgery and is on track to return to football action within six months. "Even at the very latest benchmark, he should be ready to roll for OTAs and minicamp," Rapoport wrote in an X post about Skattebo. As the Giants approach the back half of their season, they'll turn to Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. to lead their backfield. Redraft managers can drop Skattebo, but dynasty managers should hold onto him, as he'll likely be a high-end RB2 next season.
