Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Garrett Wilson

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.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson secured five of his nine targets for 48 yards in a 15-10 loss to the New England Patriots. Wilson was once again the clear favorite target for quarterback Zach Wilson, but his fantasy output was disappointing given the volume of opportunities he received. Although Wilson is a special talent, trusting any weapons on New York's offense is difficult right now. The 23-year-old will be a WR3 or flex option for a Week 4 bout with the Kansas City Chiefs.
