J.K.Dobbins

News: 1 day agoThe Broncos believe that Dobbins' injured hamstring is "good" heading into next Sunday's game against the Rams, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Spin: The latest news on Dobbins aligns with what James Palmer of Bleacher Report previously relayed following the Broncos' 20-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday, when Dobbins made an early exit due to a "slight" hamstring issue. While the Broncos are optimistic that Dobbins won't have to miss any time, his activity during practices Wednesday through Friday will ultimately determine whether he suits up against the Rams. Denver could have all of its key backfield members available for Week 3, as head coach Sean Payton suggested during his press conference Monday that RJ Harvey (hamstring) could return to action after sitting out against the Jaguars, per Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.

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.
