Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Kendre Miller

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that running back J.K. Dobbins' transition to the offense has been "swift." It appears that the Broncos' decision to sign Dobbins in early June so that he could enter the offseason break with the playbook was a good move. Dobbins is going to share the backfield with rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey in his first year in Denver, but so far in training camp, the 26-year-old former Raven has seen most of the work with the first-team offense. Harvey could easily take over the early-down role for the Broncos sooner than later in 2025, but if Dobbins can stay healthy, he should be in play in PPR fantasy leagues as an RB3/flex option. Dobbins played in just nine games from 2021-23 due to injuries and also missed four games in 2024 with the Chargers due to an MCL sprain, so the lengthy injury history is certainly concerning.

After a frustrating start to his NFL career, New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller says he's finally back to full health. Hampered by a laundry list of injuries over his first two seasons, including a hamstring strain and sprained ankle, Miller has played in only 14 games since being selected in the third round of the 2023 Draft, totaling only 80 carries in his young career. At times, former head coach Dennis Allen was vocal about Miller's inability to stay on the field. However, in his first days of camp with a new regime, the 23-year-old stated that he has put in the work this offseason and feels 100% healthy. Alvin Kamara still leads the Saints' backfield, but Miller remains an intriguing insurance option that should be stashed in deeper formats.
