Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Rachaad White

Saturday, October 4, 7:30 AM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has been continuing to redeem his career in Denver after scoring a touchdown or rushing for 100 yards in each of his first four games this season. While the Eagles profile as a defense that is better at stopping the run than the pass, expect Dobbins to be called upon to continue impressing as the early-down back. Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey's role could continue to grow in this offense, but, notably, Dobbins has averaged a second career-best 5.67 yards per carry so far this season. Fantasy managers should continue to start Dobbins with confidence as a solid RB2 with weekly touchdown upside as he comes in as RotoBaller's RB22 for Week 5.

Filling in for the injured Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot), Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White recorded 14 carries for 41 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 38-35 Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. White also chipped in four catches for 30 yards. The 26-year-old looks like the clear lead back in Tampa Bay while Irving is sidelined. In Week 5, White earned 18 touches while fellow Bucs running back Sean Tucker earned just six. White now has 212 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on 49 total touches through five games. For as long as Irving is out, White could provide solid fantasy RB2 production.
