J.K. Dobbins NEWS
J.K. Dobbins Will Not Play In Week 18
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins will be inactive for Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter. The 24-year-old is a healthy scratch as he looks to avoid injury and prepare for the Ravens' Wild Card game. Dobbins has looked fantastic since returning from his knee injury, rushing for 397 yards and one touchdown over his last four games. In fact, he leads the entire NFL in rushing yards since Week 14. With Dobbins sidelined for the season finale, expect Gus Edwards to operate as Baltimore's lead back. He ranks as an RB3 in fantasy football this week.
Jan 8, 2023 • 1:05 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Off The Injury Report
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report for Saturday's game against the Falcons. The 24-year-old was given a rest day on Tuesday and returned as a full participant on Wednesday. Since being activated from Injured Reserve two weeks ago, the former second-round pick has rushed for 100 yards per game. Dobbins will look to make it three straight 100-yard efforts in Saturday's matchup versus the Falcons. The Ohio State product draws a favorable matchup against Atlanta, who rank 26th in rush DVOA this season. Dobbins is considered a mid-range RB2 and a solid fantasy option against the Falcons in Week 16.
Dec 22, 2022 • 3:18 AM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Still Working His Way Back
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) returned from Injured Reserve in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and had a season-high 15 carries for 120 yards and his second touchdown of the year after being sidelined for seven weeks. "It's still not me all the way yet," Dobbins said. "I'm going to continue to get better, and hopefully those 100-yard games will start turning into 200-yard games, maybe." In four games earlier this year, Dobbins averaged just 3.5 yards per carry on 35 attempts before undergoing an arthroscopic procedure to remove scar tissue in his surgically repaired left knee that was hindering his flexion. It's a good sign that Dobbins had the second-most rushing yards of his career in Week 14 at less than 100 percent. The 23-year-old should be Baltimore's No. 1 back the rest of the way.
Dec 13, 2022 • 5:27 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Will Suit Up Versus Steelers
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is active for the Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This marks the first time that Dobbins will play since suffering a setback on his left knee in Week 6. The 23-year-old won't see a full workload here as the Ravens are likely to ease him back into things. However, his return does hurt the fantasy value of Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake. Neither player is likely to have much success in what could turn out to be a three-back committee.
Dec 11, 2022 • 4:54 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Activated From Injured Reserve
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, while the team waived running back Mike Davis in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old Dobbins hasn't played since Week 6 after suffering a setback in his surgically repaired left knee. That being said, it's likely Dobbins won't see a full workload in Week 14 against Pittsburgh. However, he may receive enough action to lower the ceilings of Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake. The Ravens backfield could give fantasy managers plenty of headaches the rest of the way.
Dec 10, 2022 • 4:36 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Won't Face Broncos
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) began practicing this week after being designated to return from Injured Reserve, but he will not play against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Dobbins aggravated his knee in Week 6 after suffering a torn ACL that cost him the 2021 season. It appears he'll return to the field at some point this year, but it won't be until at least Week 14. When he does return, he'll almost certainly be in a timeshare with Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake, so his upside is capped, even in a run-heavy offense.
Dec 2, 2022 • 6:20 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Designated To Return
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was officially designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday. Furthermore, the third-year running back will practice today. Dobbins has missed the past five games after having surgery to remove scar tissue from his knee. The young running back missed the entire 2021 season after suffering a severe knee injury in the preseason. He then missed the first two games this season, recovering from that injury. Hopefully, Dobbins' knee is 100% healthy, and the star running back can finish the year on a positive note. However, fantasy players shouldn't get too excited about his return, as Dobbins will share the backfield with Gus Edwards and potentially Kenyan Drake.
Nov 30, 2022 • 7:22 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins To Practice This Week
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) will return to practice this week after a six-week absence, opening a 21-day window to be activated from Injured Reserve. Dobbins missed all of his sophomore season with a torn ACL and had to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-October of this season. It remains to be seen if he'll be activated ahead of Baltimore's game against the Denver Broncos, but he would carry a ton of risk in his first game back -- whenever that might be. The Ravens will likely continue using a running-back-by-committee approach for the remainder of the season, so Dobbins will never have a strong enough workload to provide a solid fantasy floor.
Nov 28, 2022 • 7:58 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins 3-4 Weeks Away From Returning
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said running back J.K. Dobbins' (knee) recent left knee scope was a "smashing success," but the running back is still about three to four weeks away from a return from Injured Reserve. He underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-October and is a few weeks away from being activated from the Injured Reserve. The 23-year-old is first eligible to return from the IR in Week 13. Dobbins' availability will determine how his knee responds in practice and team drills once activated. Gus Edwards (hamstring), Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill will lead the Ravens backfield while Dobbins is sidelined. Fantasy managers with an IR spot should continue to stash Dobbins.
Nov 4, 2022 • 1:31 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins To Have Surgery, Miss 4-6 Weeks
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery next week that will sideline him for four to six weeks, according to sources. Dobbins had his surgically repaired left knee tighten up on him in the Week 6 loss to the New York Giants, and he'll go under the knife again after tearing his ACL and missing all of the 2021 season. It's a blow to Baltimore's backfield and any fantasy managers that were hoping for Dobbins to carry them as an RB2 this year. Kenyan Drake, who had a 100-yard rushing game and scored a TD last Sunday, now needs to be rostered in all formats, and Justice Hill is also worth a pickup, but Gus Edwards' (knee) impending return could throw a wrench into this backfield yet again in upcoming weeks.
Oct 21, 2022 • 7:19 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Ruled Out For Week 7
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) missed practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns. Justice Hill (hamstring), who practiced in full all week, was removed from the final injury report and will play on Sunday. He should have an expanded role alongside Kenyan Drake with Dobbins out. Dobbins had his surgically repaired left knee tighten up on him last week, so Baltimore is taking the cautious approach. Drake had 10 carries for a season-high 119 yards and a touchdown last week, making him a popular waiver-wire pickup heading into Week 7. He'll have upside as an RB3/flex against a Browns run defense that has been very generous to the position this year.
Oct 21, 2022 • 7:02 PM | RotoBallerAnother DNP For J.K. Dobbins
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was unable to practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Dobbins' surgically repaired right knee tightened up on him in the Week 6 loss to the New York Giants, and he didn't play at all in the second half. With the 23-year-old not having practiced yet this week, there's a real chance that he might not be able to play this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Kenyan Drake, who was a popular waiver-wire pickup this week after rushing for 119 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries last weekend, would have RB2 upside yet again if Dobbins is unable to suit up against Cleveland. The Ravens could play it safe with Dobbins after he missed all of the 2021 season with a torn right ACL.
Oct 20, 2022 • 8:14 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Misses Practice On Wednesday
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) didn't practice on Wednesday. The former Buckeye's surgically repaired knee "tightened up" during Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants, keeping him out for the second half. Without question, the team will remain cautious with the 23-year-old, so there's a real chance he won't be available for the AFC North clash with the Browns. If Dobbins is ruled out, Kenyan Drake, who had 119 yards and a touchdown off 10 carries in Week 6, could be featured out of the backfield once again. However, with Justice Hill (hamstring) practicing in full on Wednesday, Drake may cede touches.
Oct 20, 2022 • 1:12 AM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Officially Active Against Cincinnati
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (chest) will play on Sunday night versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The former Buckeye didn't practice on Wednesday because of a chest issue, the same injury he had heading into the Week 4 meeting against Buffalo. However, the ailment didn't seem to bother him too much, especially since he finished that one with two trips to the end zone. Nevertheless, with Justice Hill (hamstring) out, Dobbins is expected to see even more snaps than the 35 he saw in Week 4, making him more than just a flex option for fantasy managers.
Oct 9, 2022 • 11:31 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Misses Wednesday’s Practice
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (chest) was added to the injury report with a chest injury. The 23-year-old is coming off a productive outing against the Buffalo Bills where he had 63 total yards on 17 opportunities along with two touchdowns. Dobbins was listed with this same chest issue last Wednesday prior to Week 4, and he ended up practicing fully that Thursday. Based on this pattern, it appears that Wednesdays might just be days off for the third year back from now on. Expect Dobbins to suit up for Sunday Night Football in a Week 5 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Oct 6, 2022 • 4:53 AM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Removed From Week 4 Injury Report
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been taken off this week's final injury report and will play in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Dobbins made his season debut in the Week 3 win over the New England Patriots after missing all of the 2021 season due to a torn ACL. As we predicted, he didn't help fantasy managers all that much with just seven carries for 23 yards, adding two receptions for 17 yards while playing 45 percent of the offensive snaps. The 23-year-old former second-rounder should see more usage this weekend alongside Justice Hill, but against a tough Bills defensive front, fantasy managers should once again keep expectations in check. Dobbins should be considered an RB3/flex with limited upside this week.
Oct 1, 2022 • 12:25 AM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Gets In Limited Practice On Wednesday
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (chest) was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury. Dobbins returned to the field in Week 3 against the New England Patriots after rehabbing from his ACL surgery. It was nice to see him back on the field after his extended absence, but the Ravens appear to be easing him back into the offense. For the 23-year-old, this limited practice shouldn't be seen as a huge surprise considering he just went through his first real game action since the major injury. Dobbins should be suiting up in Week 4, but it'd be wise to look for other fantasy options considering the Ravens are facing off against a ferocious Buffalo Bills defensive line.
Sep 29, 2022 • 5:03 AM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins In "Good Shape" Following Week 3
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is in "good shape" coming out of his first game since January of 2020 when he made his season debut in the Week 3 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. In his first game this year, Dobbins played 43 percent of the offensive snaps and handled a team-high seven carries for 23 yards (3.29 yards per tote) while catching both of his targets for an additional 17 yards. The 23-year-old didn't do much for his fantasy managers, but he should continue to see a bigger piece of the action in Baltimore's backfield moving forward as their lead back in front of Mike Davis and Justice Hill. Kenyan Drake was inactive with Dobbins making his season debut.
Sep 26, 2022 • 11:26 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Plays Well In Limited Action In Week 3
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) saw action, albeit limited, for the first time since August 2021 during the matchup against New England. Although the former Buckeye's performance wasn't enough to make a difference for fantasy managers, it was still promising, as he finished with 23 yards off seven carries against the Pats. He also caught both of his targets for 17 yards. As the year progresses, expect Dobbins to continue to see an increase in snaps. However, until he returns to a full workload, managers should keep him out of the lineup.
Sep 25, 2022 • 8:49 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins To Make Season Debut In Week 3
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is officially active for the team's Week 3 matchup against the New England Patriots. This will be Dobbins' first NFL action since the 2021 preseason finale in which he tore his ACL. The third-year running back practiced in full all week but does have a tough first test against a solid Patriots run defense. It is unknown if Dobbins will be eased in over the next few weeks, but fantasy managers should expect Kenyan Drake and possibly Mike Davis to get some touches. For these reasons, it may be best to wait and see with Dobbins, who is best viewed as a low-end flex play for fantasy this week.
Sep 24, 2022 • 10:35 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Practices In Full, Listed As Questionable
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was a full participant in practice on Friday, just as he was on Wednesday and Thursday. Still, the team has listed him as questionable to play in a Week 3 away matchup against the New England Patriots. Dobbins practiced in full for the entirety of last week as well before being ruled out for Week 2. Dobbins and his fantasy managers alike are anxiously awaiting his 2022 debut after the third-year back tore his ACL in the 2021 preseason. Even if he is active, though, this may not be the time to fire him up as it is possible that he is eased into action over the next few weeks. Additionally, the Patriots have been stout against the run to start the season. Dobbins should be viewed as a risky flex option if he indeed suits up.
Sep 24, 2022 • 1:11 AM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Practices In Full On Thursday
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) practiced fully on Thursday. The 23-year-old also logged a session on Wednesday, so he appears to be moving closer to making his 2022-23 debut. Dobbins didn't play last season after tearing his ACL and has been scratching and clawing to get back out there since. However, even if the former Buckeye suits up against the Pats in Week 3, he may not see his usual workload, so fantasy managers could consider playing it safe until he's back to full strength. At the same time, Dobbins may get enough action to remove Kenyan Drake Justice Hill, and Mike Davis from fantasy consideration altogether, at least for those who haven't done so already.
Sep 23, 2022 • 2:13 AM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Puts In A Full Practice Wednesday
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Dobbins was able to practice in full all of last week, but the Ravens took the cautious approach and held him out of the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old is getting closer to making his season debut after missing all of last year with a torn ACL. If Dobbins makes his season debut this Sunday against the New England Patriots, there's a chance he could be eased into the fold, making him a risky flex play. In his absence the first two weeks, the Ravens have used a committee approach with Kenyan Drake, Mike Davis and Justice Hill, but it hasn't yielded any fantasy value. Dobbins should eventually be the team's lead back when he's 100 percent healthy.
Sep 22, 2022 • 12:02 AM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Listed As Week-To-Week
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh reiterated Monday that running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is "week-to-week," and he wouldn't say whether Dobbins would make his 2022 season debut in Week 3 against the New England Patriots. Dobbins was able to practice in full all of last week, but the Ravens still held him out in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Baltimore is being extremely cautious with the 23-year-old former second-rounder after he missed all of 2021 with a torn left ACL. Once Dobbins does return, there's also a good chance that he's not given a full backfield workload initially, which will make him a shaky flex play in fantasy lineups. Kenyan Drake has operated as the team's lead back through two weeks, but it hasn't produced much -- 17 carries for 39 yards and one catch for 15 yards.
Sep 19, 2022 • 9:32 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Officially Ruled Out
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been officially ruled out for the Week 2 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. This shouldn't come as a surprise considering Dobbins is still recovering from a torn ACL. Although, it sounds like Dobbins is making progress and should return within the next few weeks. In the meantime, the Ravens are expected to use a committee approach on the ground. Kenyan Drake rushed 11 times for 31 yards last week, so he'll likely get a similar workload on Sunday. Although, Mike Davis and Justice Hill will also be in the mix as well.
Sep 18, 2022 • 2:08 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Not Guaranteed To Play Sunday
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is not a guarantee to play in Week 2, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Despite practicing in full this week, Dobbins is listed as questionable and "it appears unlikely" that he will play, Rapoport notes. If he is forced to miss another game, the Ravens will likely proceed with Kenyan Drake as their lead back, followed by Mike Davis. Of course, Lamar Jackson also possesses an otherworldly ability to put up numbers in the rushing attack. Fantasy managers invested in Dobbins' availability should check back around 11:30 a.m. EST when the Ravens release their list of inactive players.
Sep 18, 2022 • 12:17 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Questionable Against Dolphins
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) practiced in full all week, but he's still listed as questionable to play in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Dobbins is still working his way back from a torn ACL that robbed him of his entire 2021 season, and he was inactive in the season-opening victory over the New York Jets. Baltimore isn't going to rush him back as the lead back, and even if he's active this Sunday against Miami, he'll be a shaky RB3/flex option for fantasy managers at risk of seeing limited snaps. In Week 1, Kenyan Drake was the clear lead back, followed by Justice Hill and Mike Davis. Relying on the Ravens backfield this early in the season is a crapshoot.
Sep 16, 2022 • 10:27 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Puts In Another Full Practice
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was a full participant in practice for a second straight day on Thursday. It's a good sign for his prospects of making his 2022 debut in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins for the first time since 2020. Dobbins missed all of last year after tearing his ACL, so there's still a chance the Ravens ease him back into the fold if he's actually active on Sunday. As a result, he'll be an extremely shaky fantasy play against Miami if he's active, even though he's fully expected to lead this backfield when he's fully healthy. Kenyan Drake was the Ravens' primary ball-carrier in the Week 1 win over the New York Jets, with Justice Hill and Mike Davis also pitching in.
Sep 15, 2022 • 10:17 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Practices In Full
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) took a big step forward on Wednesday by being a full participant in practice. Dobbins didn't play in the Week 1 win over the New York Jets after being limited in practice all week. The Ravens aren't going to rush him back coming off a torn ACL before the start of last season, but Dobbins appears to be close to making his 2022 debut. There's still no guarantee the 23-year-old will even play in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins, and even if he does, he could have his snaps limited in a crowded backfield that also includes Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill and Mike Davis. At best, Dobbins will be a shaky RB3/flex play if he's active this Sunday. He should, however, be stashed in all fantasy leagues.
Sep 14, 2022 • 11:18 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Looks Good In Practice
The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec thought Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) looked really good in the early portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday, and he was moving around and cutting well. Dobbins, who missed all of 2021 due to a torn ACL, was inactive in the Week 1 win against the New York Jets and isn't a lock to play in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins, either. In Dobbins' absence, Kenyan Drake led the backfield by playing 58.9% of the snaps, with Mike Davis playing only 12.5% and Justice Hill playing 19.6%. Dobbins should be rostered in all fantasy leagues, but he's likely to be questionable in Week 2 and could be a game-time decision. If he makes his season debut against Miami, he'll be a shaky RB3/flex play at risk of having his snaps limited as he's eased into the fold.
Sep 14, 2022 • 7:16 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Officially Out Sunday
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is officially out for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the New York Jets. Tight end Nick Boyle is also sitting in the regular season opener. Dobbins missed all of last year with a torn ACL, but he was trending in the right direction and was limited in practice all this week leading up to Sunday's game. Baltimore won't rush the 23-year-old back, though, and they're expected to use a committee approach with Mike Davis, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill against the Jets. Dobbins should be considered questionable for Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins, but once he's back to full health, he's expected to be the Ravens primary back. Davis should get the start this Sunday, but fantasy managers relying on Baltimore's backfield in Week 1 could be in for a headache.
Sep 11, 2022 • 3:52 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Unlikely To Play In Week 1
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Week 1 against the New York Jets. It sounds like Dobbins will attempt to get on the field for warmups, but is most likely sitting out this contest. Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis should split up a majority of the carries in the backfield. Neither player has great fantasy value with this committee approach that Baltimore plans to use. However, Drake could be a possible flex option in a favorable matchup against the Jets.
Sep 11, 2022 • 2:10 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Questionable For Week 1
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 1 of the regular season against the New York Jets on Sunday, while offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) is doubtful to play. Dobbins has been limited in practice this week and has made good progress after missing all of 2021 with a torn ACL. Fantasy managers will know early on Sunday whether the 23-year-old is active, but even if he is, will the Ravens limit his snaps in his first game back in over a year. It's probably likely, especially since they also have Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis capable of pitching in. It all adds up to make Dobbins an extremely risky RB4/flex in deeper leagues against the Jets. The most likely scenarios are that Dobbins is rested entirely or barely plays on Sunday.
Sep 9, 2022 • 10:31 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Limited During Thursday's Practice
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. The organization continues to be cautious with Dobbins who is coming back from an ACL tear. His status for Week 1 is unknown, but regardless he won't be a great option to start the season. The Ravens are likely going to wait until closer to game time before giving a final decision on Dobbins. It sounds like the Ravens plan on using a running back committee to begin the season. That means, Mike Davis, Justice Hill, and Kenyan Drake should all be in the mix. Possibly, Dobbins gets involved as well, but it's tough to trust him until he's back to full strength.
Sep 8, 2022 • 10:34 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins' Status To Be Determined Friday
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is ascending quickly in his recovery from a torn ACL that kept him out all last season, and his status for the Week 1 regular season opener against the New York Jets won't be determined until Friday. Dobbins has been limited so far in practice this week, but it remains to be seen if he'll play, or even how much, to kick off the regular season. Considering the Ravens also have Mike Davis and pass-catching back Kenyan Drake to handle backfield touches against the Jets, Dobbins is shaping up as a risky flex play in Week 1. Fantasy managers should expect the 23-year-old to be listed as questionable on Friday when official statuses are released.
Sep 8, 2022 • 7:44 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Gets In A Limited Practice
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Quarterback Lamar Jackson told reporters that Dobbins is very eager to play and is getting better every day. Dobbins, who missed the entire 2021 season after tearing his ACL in the preseason, was taken off the PUP list in early August. He has not yet been ruled out for Week 1, but Jackson also stated that his hope is for Dobbins to return "in a couple weeks", so it seems like an uphill battle for him to suit up this Sunday against the New York Jets. If Dobbins is inactive, fantasy managers should view Mike Davis as a risky flex play in a favorable matchup.
Sep 7, 2022 • 10:21 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins' Week 1 Status In Doubt
Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins' (knee) status for Week 1 against the New York Jets is certainly in doubt, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gus Edwards (knee) is on the Physically Unable to Perform list and will miss at least the first four games of the season as well, which is why the Ravens signed Kenyan Drake on Tuesday. Dobbins tore his ACL before last year and missed all of the 2021 season. Even if he's active for the regular season opener, the 23-year-old isn't expected to have a very big role alongside Drake and veteran Mike Davis. Dobbins was already a shaky low-end RB2 fantasy option in upcoming drafts, and Baltimore's backfield has now become even more muddy. Fantasy managers should consider Dobbins an RB3/flex at this point.
Aug 30, 2022 • 6:07 PM | RotoBallerJ.K. Dobbins Won't Have Full Workload Early On
Even if Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) suits up for the Week 1 season opener against the New York Jets, which isn't a guarantee at this point, he won't have a full workload. He's been pushing team officials to get back on the field, but the Ravens want to be cautious with their top back. It's too early to predict when Dobbins will get back to double-digit touches in a game. With Gus Edwards (knee) to miss at least the first four games, veteran Mike Davis could get the most carries of anyone in Baltimore's backfield early in the season. Dobbins is still the most attractive fantasy RB the Ravens have, but managers will need to be patient early in the season. Target Dobbins as a low-end RB2 in your upcoming fantasy drafts.
