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

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has still been the king of the backfield through nine weeks from a touch standpoint, but he will strive to get back in the end zone for the first time since Week 5 as he faces the Las Vegas Raiders at home on Thursday night. At first glance, averaging 77.2 rushing yards per game would sound like a no-brainer RB1 statistic. However, the presence of running back RJ Harvey has certainly been a threat to Dobbins' scoring opportunities. Harvey has now outscored Dobbins on the season with six total touchdowns to four, with five of them coming within the past three games. With Dobbins' healthy floor, thanks to currently accounting for the fifth most rushing yards in the league, he is RotoBaller's 13th-ranked running back for Week 10.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday and will miss the rest of the year, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. It's a tough blow for Miller and for the Saints' backfield depth behind starter Alvin Kamara. The 23-year-old had ascended into the biggest role of his career in his third year in the league as the direct backup to Kamara, carrying the ball 47 times for 193 yards (career-best 4.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown while adding five catches on five targets for 30 yards as a pass-catcher through seven games. Miller has been plagued by the injury bug since entering the NFL as a third-rounder in 2023, as he missed 20 of a possible 34 games in his first two seasons. With Miller now sidelined until next year, rookie Devin Neal becomes the primary handcuff option for Kamara's fantasy managers.
