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

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) briefly left Thursday night's win over the Raiders after having his foot pinned awkwardly beneath a defender's body during a third-quarter rush attempt. While he was able to return to the game, Dobbins and the team are now awaiting a second opinion to determine the severity of the foot injury. Dobbins has been a workhorse for the Broncos all season long, and in a game bereft of offensive highlights, he still managed a respectable 77 yards on 18 carries. Dobbins will now benefit from the post-TNF mini-bye before a Week 11 matchup with the Chiefs, and then the team's actual Week 12 Bye. If Dobbins is forced to miss time, RJ Harvey becomes the obvious next-man-up. However, having topped seven carries only once this season, there should also be an expectation for Tyler Badie and/or Jaleel McLaughlin to see an expanded role.

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.
