The Bottom Line

J.K. Dobbins is the better fantasy play this season.

J.K. Dobbins has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.5-PPG advantage is real (11.0 to 9.5), and J.K. Dobbins's 4 touchdowns show scoring upside. Tyrone Tracy Jr. is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.
