J.K. Dobbins is Shaky Option with Backfield Split

Friday, October 9, 6:51 PM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins hasn't been much of a fantasy option through the first four weeks of the season. Dobbins is getting the bulk of the rushing attempts right now, but he hasn't done much with it lately. The veteran back has rushed 28 times for 89 yards over the last two games. He continues to split up the workload with RJ Harvey, who gets a majority of the receiving work in the backfield. During that same two-game span, Harvey has recorded 16 receptions for 109 yards. Between the two, Harvey is the better fantasy option right now, especially in PPR formats. Dobbins doesn't carry much upside as anything more than a low-end flex option for the upcoming matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5.

Khalil Shakir Could See Increased Usage with Moore Injured

Tuesday, October 6, 6:48 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir could see an increased role in Week 5 with wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) injured. In four games, Shakir has caught 15 of 23 targets for 176 yards, with his best game coming in Week 4, when he caught seven passes for 82 yards. With Moore re-injuring the shoulder he suffered in Week 2, he could miss Week 5's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. In his absence, Shakir saw a noticeable increase in usage, playing 45 of 59 snaps (76%) and leading the team in routes run (31). Fantasy managers should monitor Moore's status during the week, as Shakir could factor in as the lead receiver in what should be a high-scoring affair against the Rams.
