Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or J.K. Dobbins

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a relatively quiet day, carrying the ball 17 times for 62 yards on the ground to go along with three catches for 18 yards through the air. The fifth-year running back has not been able to do much on the ground so far this season, tallying just 108 rush yards in three games. Jacobs will look to return to form in an attractive Week 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) is expected to undergo surgery on Friday for his torn Achilles, according to a source. Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers recovered in less than six months from a torn Achilles two years ago, and Dobbins is aiming for a similar timeline with his recovery. In any event, fantasy managers in redraft leagues can safely drop Dobbins after just one week of the 2023 season. The 24-year-old will enter free agency next March, but he'll have to prove his health before any other teams take a chance on the injury-prone running back. With Dobbins now out of the picture, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will share Baltimore's backfield, with veteran Melvin Gordon III expected to join the roster from the practice squad.
