Should I start J.K. Dobbins or Mike Washington Jr. in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 12:21 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Mike Washington Jr.: 40 percent of the snaps and 59 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against J.K. Dobbins's 19 percent of the snaps and 24 percent of the carries.
