Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Justin Fields

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.

According to Tom Pelissero, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields (abdomen) has been ruled out for Saturday's divisional tilt against the Baltimore Ravens. Fields was unable to practice all week after suffering this injury during last weekend's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Even though Russell Wilson has taken the starting role, Fields has occasionally been deployed in rushing situations. Over his past four games, Fields has tallied 58 yards on seven attempts. Fantasy managers should expect Kyle Allen to operate as the No.2 option behind Wilson on Saturday afternoon. Wilson should be viewed as a low-end QB1 facing a Baltimore secondary that has allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing QBs this season.
