J.K. Dobbins Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is a favorite to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, according to BetMGM. The second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft currently has more favorable odds over highly touted rookies Henry Ruggs III, Jalen Reagor, and Justin Jefferson, despite GM Eric DeCosta indicating that the former Buckeye would be a part of a "four-headed monster." While Dobbins' place on the list isn't cemented, it may increase his fantasy stock moving ahead in all formats. The 21-year-old amassed 4,459 rushing yards and 38 touchdowns throughout three seasons at Ohio State and could emerge as a viable contender to dethrone No. 1 option Mark Ingram II as the team's primary workhorse this season.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins agreed to a four-year deal with the team on Thursday. The rookie was considered a steal by many, having been selected 55th overall in the NFL Draft, and is expected to share reps with the trio of Mark Ingram II, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill this upcoming season. While the former Buckeye may not have significant week-to-week fantasy value in redraft formats outside of being classified as a handcuff, at least initially, he is someone to target in dynasty formats as 2020 may prove to be the last year for Ingram with the team. Dobbins ran for 2,003 yards and 21 touchdowns during his final season at Ohio State.

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta told reporters that the team views second-round running back J.K. Dobbins as a three-down back. DeCosta stated, "We think he's a three-down back. He's been extremely durable. He's an outstanding fit for what we like to do." Dobbins will have to split work with veteran Mark Ingram II in his rookie season but he should be the team's clear-cut primary back as early as 2021. The former Ohio State star was one of the best RPO running backs as a Buckeye in college and should mesh seamlessly with dual-threat quarterback Lamar Jackson in Baltimore's backfield. Dobbins is worthy of a top-five pick in dynasty rookie drafts.
