BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at New England Patriots

J.K. Dobbins had 14 touches last week with Mark Ingram out again – including a pair of receptions – but totaled just 35 total yards in a victory over the Colts. Dobbins should produce more than that in most weeks if given a similar workload, so fantasy owners should keep him on their radar with Ingram likely to remain sidelined against the Patriots.

New England ranks 21st in aFPA to opposing running backs, so there’s upside for Dobbins if he can get the workload. Dobbins has shown some playmaking ability in limited stints this season, and assuming Ingram misses the game as expected, he has legit RB2 upside.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Indianapolis Colts

J.K. Dobbins had a nice game against the Steelers last week with Mark Ingram shelved. He wound up with 113 yards on 15 carries, splitting time with Gus Edwards. Should Ingram miss more time, Dobbins could continue to get increased work. If he sees 15 carries again, he’ll have a legitimate shot at RB2 numbers.

This week, Dobbins faces the Colts. It’s not a great matchup, as they rank second in the league in aFPA to opposing running backs, and just held the duo of Adrian Peterson and DeAndre Swift to eight yards on 11 carries last week. Still, assuming Ingram is out again, as expected, Dobbins has RB2/flex value due to potential volume.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

J.K. Dobbins had 11 touches, including a pair of receptions, for 29 yards against the Eagles before the bye last week. He could see an uptick in work with Mark Ingram hobbled, but based on the way the touches went after Ingram left the Eagles game, it’s more likely Dobbins continues to see 6-10 touches, while Gus Edwards handles a lot of the two-down work. Dobbins has potential in deep leagues, but he mostly remains a dynasty-stash until the backfield is less crowded, or until we see him start getting more than six touches per game. Still, redraft owners should consider adding him to the back end of rosters on the off-chance he’s unowned, just in case Ingram is out for a while and he finds himself the hot-hand. Sit him against a tough Steelers defense this week.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Philadelphia Eagles

J.K. Dobbins had 55 total yards on one carry and three receptions last week in a blowout victory over the Bengals. The Ravens are using a three-running back approach this season, which has been effective in helping them to a 4-1 record, but not very effective in helping fantasy owners find success. Dobbins is averaging just five touches per game and hasn’t scored a touchdown since finding the end zone twice in the opener. Until his workload increases, he should stay on the bench.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

J.K. Dobbins had just five carries and one reception for a total of 17 yards last week against Washington. Dobbins has a nice skill set and should continue to see work, but with the Ravens employing a three-RB attack at the moment, he’s not getting significant touches yet. Dobbins will face a Bengals defense that ranks 21st in aFPA to opposing running backs this year, but his inconsistent touches make it hard to trust him in most leagues. Keep him on the bench until he’s getting more touches.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Washington Football Team

J.K. Dobbins led the Ravens’ running backs in snaps with 43% last week, but he still got only one carry. He caught four balls for 38 yards, making it likely the Ravens see him as a primary passing down back, but that may not be consistent enough to warrant fantasy consideration on a weekly basis. Most likely, Dobbins’ value will be tied to the health of Mark Ingram, and both will cannibalize each other’s value in most games.

This week specifically, the Ravens are likely to get up early on Washington, reducing the number of passing downs. There might be a lot of Gus Edwards and Mark Ingram this week. Sit Dobbins.

BAL RB J.K. Dobbins - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

J.K. Dobbins had a 44-yard run at the end of the game in a blowout victory against the Texans last week, but he was otherwise largely unused. He finished with three total touches, including one reception on one target, for a total of 61 yards – including the 44-yarder. Disappointing after seven carries and two touchdowns in Week 1. Dobbins’ production will likely come in spurts throughout the season, so he’s risky to count on, but he has playmaking ability and is worth keeping on your roster. It’s a little concerning that Gus Edwards got the bulk of the work after the game was well in hand, meaning Dobbins is likely more of a supplemental player than an actual backup or handcuff. Sit him for now.
