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

Saturday, October 4, 7:30 AM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has been continuing to redeem his career in Denver after scoring a touchdown or rushing for 100 yards in each of his first four games this season. While the Eagles profile as a defense that is better at stopping the run than the pass, expect Dobbins to be called upon to continue impressing as the early-down back. Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey's role could continue to grow in this offense, but, notably, Dobbins has averaged a second career-best 5.67 yards per carry so far this season. Fantasy managers should continue to start Dobbins with confidence as a solid RB2 with weekly touchdown upside as he comes in as RotoBaller's RB22 for Week 5.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will take on the Baltimore Ravens on the road in Week 2. Ford is looking to shake off a slow start in Week 1 as he gained just eight yards on six carries while losing three yards on his lone catch in a one-point loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran's role as the team's starter could be coming to an end soon as rookie Quinshon Judkins is expected to make his pro debut against the Ravens, which could push Ford to a bench role, assuming the Browns keep rookie Dylan Sampson in the third-down spot. Ford is an extremely risky fantasy option in Week 2 and should be left on benches with his backfield role up in the air.
