J.K.Dobbins

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Dobbins returns as the lead back in Baltimore after missing the entire 2021 season with a torn ACL. He impressed during his rookie campaign in 2020, pacing the NFL in both yards per carry (6.0) and yards after contact (2.5). Granted the elite efficiency came on relatively low volume in Baltimore's committee attack (134 carries), but the second-round pick's production increased down the stretch. Dobbins averaged 7.4 fantasy PPG during his first nine NFL games before posting 13-plus points in six consecutive games to finish the season (17.0 per game). Gus Edwards will remain involved as a rusher and Dobbins may struggle for targets in Greg Roman's scheme (Baltimore is dead last in RB targets over the last four seasons), but Dobbins' elite athleticism and role in Baltimore's high-scoring offense is enough to allow RB2 production.
