J.K.Dobbins

News: 1 day agoDobbins rushed 17 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for five yards during the Broncos' 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks on Thursday.

Spin: Dobbins was in the customary position of leading the Broncos' ground attack in rush attempts and rushing yards, but he averaged only 2.4 yards per carry against a stingy Seahawks front. Nevertheless, the veteran back made a trip to the end zone for the second consecutive game, going in from four yards out early in the second quarter. After averaging 4.5 yards per carry in a Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, Dobbins has hit a wall in terms of efficiency, but he'll remain the top option in the ground attack for a favorable Week 7 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 25.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Dobbins re-signed with Denver and will attempt to fend off sophomore RJ Harvey for the team's lead-back job. With both active during Weeks 1-10 last season (10 games), Dobbins handled 153 carries (60% team share) and 15 targets (4%), compared to 50 carries (20%) and 29 targets (9%) for Harvey. Dobbins ran well (5.05 yards per carry) when healthy, but he was limited to four touchdowns and was a nonfactor as a receiver (37 yards on 15 targets) en route to averaging 11.6 fantasy points (27th). Dobbins enters his age-27 campaign having yet to play a full season in his career (seven-plus missed games in four of the past five years) and without much value even when active (he has never produced a top-20 fantasy campaign). Dobbins is an underwhelming flex option with added value in non-PPR formats.
