Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Quinshon Judkins

The Denver Broncos are considering what to do with injured running back J.K. Dobbins (foot), and placing him on Injured Reserve is a possibility, sources told Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Dobbins is getting additional medical opinions after injuring his foot late in last Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Before getting hurt in Week 10, the 26-year-old had 18 rushing attempts for 77 yards while catching his only target for seven yards. Rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey is already rostered in 83% of Yahoo leagues, so he probably isn't available, but Tyler Badie might be worth a look in deeper leagues if Harvey ends up missing extended time. If Dobbins is forced to IR, he'd miss at least four games. In his first year in Denver, Dobbins has operated as the team's lead back with 153 carries for 772 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and four touchdowns in 10 games. However, Harvey has taken on a bigger role in recent weeks.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has had a strong rookie campaign through eight games, handling 140 carries for 561 yards and five touchdowns to go with 14 catches (18 targets) for 70 yards as a receiver. The 22-year-old was bottled up on heavy usage in Cleveland's Week 10 loss at the Jets, averaging just 3.5 yards on 24 touches. Judkins has taken on one of the biggest workloads in the league as a rookie, with his 17.5 carries per game ranking sixth highest among running backs. Cleveland's poor offensive situation has limited some of the upside, and he doesn't catch a ton of passes, but the rookie has still been productive, ranking as RB20 in PPR points per game (13.4). Judkins will remain on the RB1/RB2 border for Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens.
