J.K. Dobbins Fantasy Stats

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins churned out 41 yards and a touchdown on 17 rushes in his team's 17-14 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He also caught all three of his targets for a gain of five yards. Dobbins got the Broncos on the board early in the second quarter with a four-yard touchdown. It's the veteran's second straight game with a score, putting him halfway to his 2025 total of four in just six appearances. Still, it was another ineffective rushing day for him, as Denver's offense attempts to find its footing amid a slow start to the campaign. Backfield mate RJ Harvey saps some of Dobbins' fantasy value with his role in the passing game. However, the latter is the clear preference in the red zone, with 11 opportunities heading into Thursday's matchup compared with Harvey's three. Denver will get the Cardinals on the road next Sunday.

It was a solid week for Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins, who was limited to just 3.8 yards per carry but managed to find the end zone during Denver's divisional win over the cellar-dwelling Los Angeles Chargers. Dobbins totaled 18 carries, which he took for 68 yards, including a long run of 14 yards. This week, he will face a Seattle Seahawks run defense that has allowed just 100.4 yards rushing per game this season. Last week, Seattle limited the San Francisco 49ers' running game to just 3.9 yards per carry, but top running back Christian McCaffrey was able to enjoy a fruitful performance, consisting of 11 carries for 68 yards, an average of 6.2 yards per carry, and a touchdown. Dobbins is RotoBaller's 26th-ranked running back and is projected to score nine fantasy points this week against the Seahawks.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins recorded 18 carries for 68 yards (3.8 yards per carry) and a touchdown, while adding two receptions for six yards in a 23-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5. Dobbins led the Broncos in rushing attempts and rushing yards, and was the only running back to find the end zone against L.A. Dobbins played 32 offensive snaps, compared to fellow running back RJ Harvey's 23 snaps. Harvey logged just three carries for seven yards (2.3 yards per carry), and one week after Harvey recorded 10 receptions in the passing game, Dobbins out-touched Harvey 20 to 3. Both Dobbins and Harvey are likely to remain heavily involved in Denver's offense, but it could vary week-to-week. As of now, Dobbins is the more sure option when it comes to the ground game.

It's been a slog for Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins to start the year. Dobbins is coming off an 11-carry, 40-yard performance during a loss to the San Francisco 49ers, which was his third straight game averaging 3.6 yards per carry or fewer. He's also been a non-factor in the passing game, recording just three receptions for 16 yards through his team's first four matchups. Dobbins is RotoBaller's 27th-ranked running back in Week 5 and is projected to score nine points against a Los Angeles Chargers defense that has allowed 121.8 yards rushing per game, 11th-most in the NFL. This past week against the Seattle Seahawks, the Chargers allowed Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson to finish with 81 yards rushing and a touchdown, but he did so on 21 carries, averaging a limited 3.9 yards per carry.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins hasn't been much of a fantasy option through the first four weeks of the season. Dobbins is getting the bulk of the rushing attempts right now, but he hasn't done much with it lately. The veteran back has rushed 28 times for 89 yards over the last two games. He continues to split up the workload with RJ Harvey, who gets a majority of the receiving work in the backfield. During that same two-game span, Harvey has recorded 16 receptions for 109 yards. Between the two, Harvey is the better fantasy option right now, especially in PPR formats. Dobbins doesn't carry much upside as anything more than a low-end flex option for the upcoming matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5.

After some tough sledding during a win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins faces another tough matchup in Week 4. The Broncos take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, a team that has limited its opponents to -0.13 EPA per rush, according to Next Gen Stats, which is tied for 11th-best in the NFL. This past week, Dobbins managed just 49 yards rushing on 17 carries against the Rams, adding one catch for four yards on two targets. The 49ers allowed Arizona Cardinals starting running back Jeremiyah Love to record 90 yards rushing on 21 carries in Week 3, but held the Cardinals as a team to just 3.4 yards per tote. Dobbins is RotoBaller's 30th-ranked running back and is projected to score nine fantasy points against San Francisco.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins is a rare case of a ball-carrier to avoid despite having a large role in a prominent offense. Dobbins has yet to play more than half the snaps in a single game this season, and despite logging 17 carries in Week 3, he has yet to score a touchdown. Furthermore, 35 of his 36 touches this season have been rushing attempts, indicating that he is somewhat of an afterthought on passing downs. That shouldn't come as a huge surprise, given that teammate RJ Harvey is a pass-catching specialist and has been pushing for more touches. In fact, Harvey is averaging five catches per game this season out of the backfield. With no additional upside in PPR and a minimal role around the goal line, Dobbins is no longer a viable starter in fantasy football. He's a fine bench stash in deeper leagues, but if he can't produce a significant fantasy outing on 17 carries, we're not sure what it would take for him to get on the fantasy radar.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins is off the injury report and good to go for this week's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Dobbins was limited on Wednesday with a hip injury before returning to full practice on both Thursday and Friday. He has been the Broncos' leading ball carrier through two games, totaling 72 yards rushing while averaging four yards per carry. The 27-year-old has been a non-factor in the passing game, as he has yet to be targeted in 2026. Dobbins is RotoBaller's 32nd-ranked running back and is projected to score just eight fantasy points in Week 3. The Rams limited the New York Giants to just 52 yards rushing during a 28-6 win this past week.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (hip) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and has been cleared to play in the Week 3 contest on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Dobbins was pulled from the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars with a hamstring injury, but he was on the injury report with a minor hip injury. Rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman (ankle) took over as Denver's lead back against the Jags on Sunday with RJ Harvey (hamstring) out, but he has now been ruled out this week after not practicing at all. Harvey is back in the fold following his missed game, so Dobbins and Harvey are expected to primarily split backfield duties in primetime on Sunday night against a strong Rams defense that now has All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald back. The 27-year-old Dobbins has gotten off to a rough start in 2026, carrying the ball 18 times for 72 yards and not catching a single pass in two games. As long as he remains healthy, though, he will be involved in head coach Sean Payton's offense, and he will carry RB3/flex appeal into Week 3.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday, according to the team. Dobbins was pulled from Sunday's Week 2 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars with hamstring cramping and never returned. He only handled 10 carries for 36 yards and was not involved as a receiver before turning things over to fourth-round rookie Jonah Coleman (ankle). The 27-year-old had a lackluster season debut, too, carrying the ball only eight times for 36 yards in the Week 1 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Second-year back RJ Harvey (hamstring) was inactive in Week 2, but he, like Dobbins, upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after being limited. Coleman has yet to practice after apparently picking up an ankle injury on Sunday. Denver's backfield is in flux right now and is hard to gauge with all the injuries, but it is looking like both Dobbins and Harvey should be active in Week 3 on Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams. Until Denver's ground game gets going, though, it will be hard to trust Dobbins as much more than a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in a crowded backfield.
