Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Omarion Hampton

Friday, September 26, 10:31 PM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has led the way for the team through the first three weeks of the 2025 campaign. Many assumed RJ Harvey would have a more prominent role in the offense, although that hasn't happened, with the rookie receiving only two attempts in the Week 3 loss to the Chargers. Harvey will presumably see more involvement at some point moving forward. However, it appears Dobbins remains the favorite to handle most of the snaps out of the backfield, at least for now. The 26-year-old has 222 yards off 41 carries this season. Even better, he's found the end zone in each of Denver's first three games. All things considered, Dobbins should be classified as a must-start in all fantasy formats on Monday night versus the Cincinnati Bengals, a club that surrendered two rushing touchdowns to Jordan Mason in Week 3.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton is primed for a heavy workload following the season-ending injury to Najee Harris (Achilles). In the team's 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos, Hampton recorded 19 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown, along with six catches for 59 yards, demonstrating his value in both the running and passing game. The 0-3 New York Giants are an ideal matchup, ranking in the bottom third in every defensive category and allowing the second-most rushing yards in the league. Although the absence of guard Mekhi Becton (concussion) could create some vulnerability, Hampton's expected workhorse role and favorable opponent position him for a strong performance. RotoBaller projects Hampton as RB10 this week and considers him a must-start across all formats.
