J.K. Dobbins Fantasy Stats

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.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (hamstring), who was pulled from the Week 2 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to hamstring cramping and did not return, was listed as limited for the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to the team. RJ Harvey (hamstring), who was inactive on Sunday, was also limited, while rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman (ankle) did not practice after taking over lead-back duties against the Jags in just his second NFL game. Coleman became a popular waiver-wire pickup this week after he scored his first rushing touchdown in the team's home opener. Denver's backfield is now completely up in the air with all three backs injured, but there is optimism that Dobbins will be able to suit up this weekend on Sunday night against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. With the Broncos' backfield picture hazy right now, it is hard to recommend Dobbins as anything more than an RB3/flex option coming off his hamstring injury. The 27-year-old's lengthy injury history and the Broncos' poor start on offense this year have not endeared Dobbins to many fantasy managers yet. He is going to need to play better to hold off a healthy Coleman this year.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (leg) suffered from leg cramps in Week 2 rather than a hamstring injury, as originally reported, per Mike Klis of 9NEWS. Klis writes that there is "optimism the team dodged a serious setback." The reporting from Klis further confirms speculation that Dobbins avoided a major injury and should be available for Denver's Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The 27-year-old has had a quiet start to the season, recording 72 rushing yards on 18 carries across two games. If fellow Broncos back RJ Harvey (hamstring) can return from the hamstring injury that sidelined him in Week 2, Denver could operate a three-way backfield split between Dobbins, Harvey, and rookie Jonah Coleman. With the workloads uncertain for all three Broncos backs, fantasy managers may want to avoid starting any of them in Week 3.

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (hamstring), who left Sunday's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars with a hamstring injury, is "good," a source told The Ringer's Tom Pelissero. The Broncos face the Los Angeles Rams in Denver on Sunday Night Football in Week 3, and it looks like Dobbins will have a chance to suit up without missing a game. We will have a better idea of Dobbins' status for Week 3 once the Broncos begin to release their official injury reports on Wednesday, but as of now, it appears that he should be considered day-to-day with a chance to suit up on Sunday night in a tough matchup against the Rams' defense. The 27-year-old oft-injured back has 18 carries for 72 yards (4.0 yards per carry) through two games in 2026. He was on pace for a career year in 2025 through 10 games in his first year in Denver before suffering a season-ending foot injury. With Dobbins and RJ Harvey (hamstring) banged up, rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman will be a popular waiver-wire pickup as a handcuff this week.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) has a slight hamstring issue, sources told James Palmer of the NFL Network. There is optimism that Dobbins will be back on the field on Sunday night against the visiting Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. Dobbins carried the ball 10 times for 36 yards in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars before suffering a minor hamstring injury. With RJ Harvey (hamstring) inactive, it thrust rookie fourth-rounder Jonah Coleman into the lead-back role in Denver. After playing just 6% of the offensive snaps in his NFL debut in the Week 1 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, Coleman played 40% of the snaps on Sunday and tied for the team high with 10 carries for a team-leading 39 rushing yards and the first touchdown of his career. The University of Washington product also caught all three of his targets for 19 yards as a receiver. Even though Dobbins' hamstring injury is not believed to be serious, his lengthy injury history and Harvey's hamstring injury should make Coleman one of the more popular waiver-wire targets going into Week 3.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest due to a hamstring injury. The veteran running back was seen walking off the field on his own power but eventually went into the medical tent. Before exiting, Dobbins led the backfield (with RJ Harvey not playing) as he took 10 carries for 36 yards. While he remains on the shelf, managers should expect Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie to operate as the top options on the depth chart. If he were to miss a lengthy period of time, Coleman would be a top waiver wire target.
