Scouting report

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

Week 17 at Cincinnati Bengals

J.K. Dobbins has only one game over 100 yards this year, but he has a nose for the end zone, with seven on the season and one in each of his past five games. Dobbins had 77 yards and a score on just 11 carries against the Giants last week, and he seems to be getting starter touches over the second half of the season.

This week, Dobbins faces a Bengals defense that ranks 18th in aFPA to opposing running backs, and just gave up big numbers to David Johnson last week. Expect the Ravens to continue to lean on their ground-based attack and for Dobbins to benefit from a nice matchup and double-digit carries. The presence of Gus Edwards and Lamar Jackson stealing rushing touchdowns downgrades Dobbins’ value a little, but he should still be considered a quality RB2 option in most leagues.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. New York Giants

J.K. Dobbins had 14 carries and a reception last week for a total of 81 yards and a touchdown, as the Ravens dispatched the Jaguars with ease. Dobbins has double-digit touches in six of his last seven games, and he seems to have a stranglehold on the starting job. With Mark Ingram fading into the background, and Gus Edwards a quality complementary player, Dobbins should be a decent RB2 option for the final two games.

The Giants rank 15th in aFPA to opposing running backs. We have Dobbins ranked as a fringe-RB1 this week. That makes sense, thinking the Ravens will get up early once again and run the ball in positive game script. Start him.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

J.K. Dobbins had a decent game against the Browns last week, rushing 13 times for 53 yards and a touchdown. However, he still wasn’t active in the passing game and was spelled regularly by Gus Edwards – who scored a pair of touchdowns as well. Dobbins seems to be the lead back, but it looks like Edwards isn’t going away.

This week, Dobbins faces a Jaguars defense that ranks 29th in aFPA to opposing running backs. It’s a great matchup and if Dobbins sees double-digit touches for the fourth straight contest, he should be a quality RB2 option in all league formats. Start him.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland Browns

J.K. Dobbins had 11 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown on Tuesday night against the Cowboys. It was a little concerning that Gus Edwards and Mark Ingram combined for 13 carries, and that Dobbins failed to record a target, but overall, it was a nice day of work for the rookie, who has become more and more active in the offense in recent games.

This week, Dobbins faces a Browns defense that ranks 17th in aFPA to opposing running backs but just held Derrick Henry to 60 yards on 15 carries – no small feat. The additional touches make Dobbins a solid RB2 option in all league formats, however, especially after finding the end zone last week. Start him.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Dallas Cowboys

J.K. Dobbins got a full workload for just the third time this season against the Titans before missing last week because of COVID, and answered with 85 total yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and a pair of receptions. If Dobbins can get that kind of work consistently, he’ll be considered a viable RB2 option moving forward. There’s optimism for that, since Mark Ingram has been basically an afterthought in his last two healthy games.

This week, Dobbins faces a Cowboys defense that ranks 13th in aFPA to opposing running backs. He’s a little risky because we don’t know for sure he’s going to get that full workload again, but if he does, the sky is the limit on his upside. We have him ranked as a solid RB2 option with a high ceiling.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Pittsburgh Steelers

J.K. Dobbins got a full workload for just the third time this season against the Titans last week, and answered with 85 total yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and a pair of receptions. If Dobbins can get that kind of work consistently, he’ll be considered a viable RB2 option moving forward. There’s optimism for that, since Mark Ingram has been basically an afterthought the past two weeks since returning from injury.

This week, Dobbins faces a Steelers defense that ranks seventh in aFPA to opposing running backs. With all three backs likely available, Dobbins is a risky fringe-RB2 with upside because of his playmaking ability. But keep an eye on his status, and the status of the game in general. It’s been moved multiple times already.

Update: Dobbins is apparently out, despite coming off the COVID list. Be sure to adjust your lineups.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Tennessee Titans

J.K. Dobbins only had six touches last week against the Patriots, finishing with only 14 yards from scrimmage, including one yard on his lone reception. This week, Dobbins has upside against the Titans, who rank 29th in aFPA to opposing running backs. However, it’s hard to trust any of the Baltimore running backs with the committee they have in the backfield. If Dobbins gets double-digit touches, we can hope for RB2 numbers. That’s too risky to bank on in most leagues though, so even in a good matchup, he’s a boom-or-bust RB3 option.
