Draft Note by John Paulsen
When Dobbins is healthy and playing, he’s a serious fantasy asset. He ranked RB18 through the first 10 weeks of 2025 on 16.4 touches per game at 5.0 yards per carry, and the advanced metrics are consistent with that output–89th-percentile YAC/Att, 71st-percentile run grade, 65th-percentile success rate. He's a quality runner who generates after contact and converts on a high percentage of his carries. The foot sprain that ended his season after Week 10 was just the latest entry in a four-year injury history that has resulted in 32 total games played. Yikes. The receiving role belongs to Harvey, who ran routes far more efficiently in 2025, so Dobbins' value is almost entirely carry-dependent. Midrange RB2 numbers are well within reach on a full season, but a full season is the one thing Dobbins hasn't managed to string together. He's a talented back who has to be drafted as an injury risk and shouldn’t be counted upon to be available in December.
