Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) is expected to undergo surgery on Friday for his torn Achilles, according to a source. Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers recovered in less than six months from a torn Achilles two years ago, and Dobbins is aiming for a similar timeline with his recovery. In any event, fantasy managers in redraft leagues can safely drop Dobbins after just one week of the 2023 season. The 24-year-old will enter free agency next March, but he'll have to prove his health before any other teams take a chance on the injury-prone running back. With Dobbins now out of the picture, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will share Baltimore's backfield, with veteran Melvin Gordon III expected to join the roster from the practice squad.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (knee) was uncertain coming into this game as he popped up on the injury report on Saturday. Despite that, White suited up and played well against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. The young back rushed 15 times for 100 yards, while hauling in two receptions for an additional 10 yards. This performance marked the first time that White has hit 100 yards on the ground since Week 4. The Bucs should continue giving White carries at a high rate going forward. Fantasy managers should consider White a high-end RB2 for a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers next week.
