Draft note
by John Paulsen
Dobbins bounced back in 2024, finishing as the RB23 despite playing in only 12 games. On a per-game basis, he averaged 13.9 half-PPR points, good for RB17—solid production in a year where he showed flashes of his pre-injury form. The Chargers opted not to re-sign him, and he now lands in Denver, where he'll compete in a Sean Payton offense that could lean on rookie RJ Harvey. Dobbins was a tackle-breaking machine last year, ranking 2nd (behind only Derrick Henry) in broken tackles per attempt. He also finished 7th in yards after contact per attempt, though a surprising dip in PFF’s rush grade (43rd of 57) raises some eyebrows. He added 32 receptions, but his 54th-place finish (out of 59) in yards per route run suggests limited upside in the passing game. The backfield split with Harvey remains unclear, but Dobbins has a real shot to lead this backfield early. If he wins the starting job outright, he offers RB2 value with weekly touchdown upside. At worst, he’s a high-end handcuff with standalone FLEX appeal in a potentially run-friendly system.

LAC RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New England Patriots

Notably J.K. Dobbins is questionable for the game against the Patriots. If he plays, he's in a solid spot as Gus Edwards is out and it feels like the coaching staff hasn't fully trusted Kimani Vidal with more of a workload. The Patriots are 23rd in aFPA against running backs so it is a soft landing spot for Dobbins in a possible return. Dobbins is a back-end RB2 this week and should be in your lineups if he's healthy.
