Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Zach Charbonnet

Saturday, November 15, 3:36 PM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) has a "significant" foot injury that will require season-ending surgery, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dobbins suffered the injury in Week 10 and had already been ruled out for Denver's Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he will now be placed on Injured Reserve. It's an unfortunate development for the oft-injured 26-year-old, who was having a solid season in his first year in Denver. Through 10 games, Dobbins had recorded 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 153 carries. With Dobbins sidelined, Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey profiles as the team's RB1 for Week 11 and beyond. Fellow backs Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin could also factor in Denver, but neither profiles as a true threat to surpass Harvey.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will be a touchdown-dependent flex option once again when the Seahawks clash with the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. However, despite his touchdown-dependent status, Charbonnet has a great chance to score this week. The Titans are No. 22 in points allowed to opposing running backs in fantasy this season. They have also allowed 12 rushing touchdowns to running backs, which is good for 31st in the league. This team does not have much going for it on the defensive line, and Charbonnet could reap the benefits. Seattle will surely find itself in the red zone numerous times throughout this game. Charbonnet is the clear goal line back for this team, and he will likely receive multiple opportunities inside the five-yard line. If you are desperate for a running back start, Charbonnet could deliver for you in Week 12. It is worth noting that fellow running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) popped up on the injury report on Friday. If Walker were to sit or be limited, Charbonnet would be an automatic start this week.
