Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Rondale Moore

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.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore caught four of six targets for eight yards and carried the ball three times for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys. In the second quarter, Moore surprised the Cowboy defense by rushing for a 45-yard TD, the first rushing touchdown of his NFL career. His four catches on the day were also double his catch total on the season, as he helped lead the Cardinals to an upset victory. While it's worth monitoring his versatile usage, he will need to start to see more volume to be consistently fantasy relevant. In Week 4, Moore and the rest of the transcending Cardinal offense will hit the road to take on a stingy 49ers defense.
