Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Jerome Ford

Saturday, November 30, 4:08 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Saturday. The 25-year-old has played well in his first season in Los Angeles, totaling 766 yards and eight touchdowns off 158 carries, adding 28 catches for 134 yards. Even better, he had stayed healthy, which was different from his time with the Baltimore Ravens. Unfortunately, Dobbins finds himself back in familiar territory and will get put back on the shelf because of an MCL sprain. Without him, Gus Edwards, who had a touchdown on Monday night against the Ravens, his former team, is at least a flex option for Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, especially since Hassan Haskins may not get much work.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford found the end zone on a 62-yard rush in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. He will take over as the Browns' starting running back after Nick Chubb (foot) was lost for the remainder of the season with a broken foot. Ford will take on a Cincinnati defense that is allowing the 17th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs. With the Browns slated to give quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson his first start of the season, there's a chance they could lean on the run a bit more than usual against the Bengals. That, plus his ability in the passing game, puts Ford in play as a solid RB2 in fantasy heading into Week 16.
