Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton isn't ruling out a potential return from running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) later in the year, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Dobbins was previously ruled out for the rest of the season due to a foot injury, but if the Broncos make a deep postseason run, Dobbins might be able to return. For fantasy football purposes, managers in single-year leagues can dump Dobbins to the waiver wire if they haven't already done so, since he won't be able to help them before the end of the year. Denver will move forward with rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey as their primary backfield option with Dobbins out, but Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie will also be involved in change-of-pace roles. Harvey will have RB2 upside the rest of the way, while McLaughlin and Badie are simply bench stashes in deeper fantasy leagues.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) won't carry an injury designation into the Week 15 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Tracy was forced to exit early during the Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots with a hip contusion. The 26-year-old is ready to go after a week off during the team's bye. Tracy figures to handle the bulk of the carries in the backfield, while Devin Singletary gets mixed in as well. The second-year back has rushed for over 60 yards in three of his last four games. During that span, Tracy has also finished with 50 receiving yards or more in two of those games. The Commanders' defense ranks 27th in points allowed to running backs this season. With a full workload, Tracy should be able to offer RB2 value in 12-team formats in Week 15.
