Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or J.K. Dobbins

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially placed veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he broke his clavicle in Monday night's loss to the Detroit Lions, according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com. Evans will be forced to miss at least four games while on IR, but his absence is expected to be much longer than that. However, he reportedly suffered a clean break of his collarbone and could return to the team in under eight weeks if his rehab goes well. Head coach Todd Bowles said it would be "touch and go" as to whether Evans will be able to get back on the field before the end of the regular season. Fantasy managers can go ahead and drop the future Hall of Famer in redraft leagues. It's a tough blow for Evans, who had just returned from a three-game absence due to a hamstring strain. He will finish shy of 1,000 receiving yards in 2025 for the first time in his 12 NFL seasons.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) will be out on Sunday against the divisional-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 with a significant foot injury and is believed to be out for the "foreseeable future," according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Dobbins is still working through his options, but there has been no final determination, and he's still a candidate to land on Injured Reserve. The 26-year-old injured his foot in the Thursday night win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10 and is now set to miss multiple weeks. If he's forced to IR, he'd be out for at least four games. It's a serious blow to Denver's backfield, as Dobbins currently leads the team with 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 153 attempts over his 10 games. Keep him stashed in all fantasy leagues for now, but if he goes on IR, there's a chance he may not contribute much, if at all, the rest of the regular season. RJ Harvey will operate as the Broncos' RB1 for the foreseeable future, making him a must-roster in all leagues.
