Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or J.K. Dobbins

Sunday, November 24, 4:59 PM

The Tennessee Titans put the clamps on the Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon, holding him to just 22 yards and no touchdowns on 14 carries and pulling off a 32-27 upset. The veteran running back had his lowest rushing output of the season, but did salvage some fantasy value by catching five of six targets for 23 yards. Houston's offensive line had a brutal showing against a talented Tennessee line, and the Texans rushed for just 40 yards as a team. Fortunately for the Texans and fantasy managers who roster Mixon, the Texans are at Jacksonville in Week 13.

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Wednesday that running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is "working through something with his knee" and "will miss some time." It was reported earlier that Dobbins will miss the Week 13 game against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday due to an MCL sprain he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but this makes it sound like he could miss more time beyond Week 13. If that's the case, expect rookie Kimani Vidal to factor in a Bolts backfield that will also include Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins. Edwards will likely see the bulk of the backfield touches this weekend, although he's more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex that doesn't factor into the passing game. Vidal and Haskins will likely fight for change-of-pace work behind Edwards. Dobbins deserves to be stashed in all fantasy formats for now.
