Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or MarShawn Lloyd

Saturday, November 15, 3:36 PM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) has a "significant" foot injury that will require season-ending surgery, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dobbins suffered the injury in Week 10 and had already been ruled out for Denver's Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he will now be placed on Injured Reserve. It's an unfortunate development for the oft-injured 26-year-old, who was having a solid season in his first year in Denver. Through 10 games, Dobbins had recorded 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 153 carries. With Dobbins sidelined, Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey profiles as the team's RB1 for Week 11 and beyond. Fellow backs Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin could also factor in Denver, but neither profiles as a true threat to surpass Harvey.

Green Bay Packers running backs coach Ben Sirmans said he thinks running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) will play this year, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. "He's pretty excited about some of the things he's doing," Sirmans said. The RB coach said Lloyd told him, "I'm coming back and this is going to be it. It's the last time." The 24-year-old has yet to play in 2025 due to a hamstring injury, but Lloyd only played in one game in his rookie season due to injuries, too. He has been working his way into better shape away from the team, but it remains to be seen when he'll be activated from Injured Reserve. Lloyd could be getting closer to rejoining the team in practices, but he will not be available this Sunday when they play the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, potentially without star RB Josh Jacobs (knee). Lloyd is only rostered in 1% of Yahoo leagues right now.
