Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Jordan Mason

Monday, October 6, 6:25 PM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins had another solid outing in Week 5 while earning a win versus the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. With his largest workload of the season, he would lead the team in rushing yards and touches with 79 yards on 20 rush attempts. His lone touchdown was a two-yard rush to bring the game back within contention in the fourth quarter. Seeing RJ Harvey take a backseat with 12 yards on four rushes was encouraging for confidence in Dobbins' volume moving forward. Clearly, the Broncos' backfield is Dobbins' to lose. Continue trusting him as a high-upside RB2 until otherwise noted, and he is a must-start against a reeling Jets defense in Week 6.

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason found the end zone and caught three passes Sunday against Cleveland, saving an otherwise average game with just 56 total yards. Mason and Minnesota did just enough, with the back scoring a second-half running touchdown to highlight a day in which he had 52 yards on 13 carries in Minnesota's 21-17 comeback win. The first-year Viking coughed up the ball in the first half for the second straight week, and lost some touches to backup Zavier Scott, who came in and also fumbled. The performance yardage-wise was to be expected as a decimated Vikings' O-line went against a good Cleveland front, but Mason should hang onto fantasy value as long as he can hang onto the ball. The Vikings will return to action in Week 7 after a bye next week.
