Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Trey Benson

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins fought through some pain in the second half as he paced the backfield with touches again, showing great patience and swift cuts in Thursday's 10-7 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in their primetime matchup. With 18 rush attempts on the night, Dobbins worked hard for his 77 yards against a Raiders defense that certainly came to play. Dobbins added one catch for seven yards on a night where quarterback Bo Nix struggled to produce much for the offense. The veteran out-touched running back mate RJ Harvey 19-6 is encouraging for his control in the offense, but notably, Harvey did steal a red-zone possession from Dobbins. Still looking to end the touchdown drought, Dobbins should maintain his healthy floor on a volume basis alone and is an RB2 in Week 11's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Arizona Cardinals' second-year running back out of Florida State, Trey Benson (knee), missed yet another opportunity to practice on Thursday after it was reported on Wednesday by Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic that head coach Jonathan Gannon did not make it sound likely that running back Benson would return from Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. This is tough news for fantasy managers who were hoping to get him activated after the four-game minimum from the IR stint. Benson remains a top IR stash for the time being, as they likely will give him the RB1 duties upon his return. Arizona will continue to mix and match in their backfield with Bam Knight, Emari Demercado, and Michael Carter. Right now, Demercado and Knight have some RB3 value while Carter is likely the odd man out based on recent usage.
