Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Kimani Vidal

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins rushes 14 times for 81 yards while losing a yard on one catch on the day as the Broncos exploded in the fourth quarter, scoring 33 points in Sunday's 33-32 comeback win against the New York Giants. Dobbins has been able to showcase solid production for the Broncos' rushing attack despite lacking a touchdown in the past couple of weeks. Rookie running back RJ Harvey was getting more work than usual early on in the game, but Dobbins stepped in to give the Broncos some sparks as the game went on, and he would eventually out-carry Harvey 14-4 on the day. In what could be a Week 8 shootout as the Broncos face the Dallas Cowboys at home, Dobbins should continue to provide RB2 value with upside.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal proved himself as the clear leader in the backfield during the team's 29-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins, handling 70% of the snaps and rushing for 124 yards on 18 carries. He also caught three passes for 14 yards and scored a touchdown. Vidal's tough running, which averaged 6.89 yards per carry last week, helped lighten the load on quarterback Justin Herbert. Although the Indianapolis Colts have a strong rush defense, Vidal's likely heavy usage, especially with fellow backup running back Hassan Haskins listed as Questionable (chest), makes him a solid volume-based starter. RotoBaller projects Vidal as RB21 this week. He is a low-end RB2 and should be in your lineup, especially if Haskins is limited.
