J.K. Dobbins Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) is expected to undergo surgery on Friday for his torn Achilles, according to a source. Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers recovered in less than six months from a torn Achilles two years ago, and Dobbins is aiming for a similar timeline with his recovery. In any event, fantasy managers in redraft leagues can safely drop Dobbins after just one week of the 2023 season. The 24-year-old will enter free agency next March, but he'll have to prove his health before any other teams take a chance on the injury-prone running back. With Dobbins now out of the picture, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will share Baltimore's backfield, with veteran Melvin Gordon III expected to join the roster from the practice squad.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (ankle) officially tore his Achilles during Week 1, an MRI confirmed. Head coach John Harbaugh announced the unfortunate news postgame. Dobbins exited in the second half and was unable to return. This injury is season-ending, meaning Dobbins will have played in just eight games from 2021 through 2023. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will lead the backfield going forward.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday's season opener against the Houston Texans. It's a crushing blow for the Ravens and their 24-year-old running back given the fact that he has missed 26 games over the last two seasons. Baltimore will proceed with Gus Edwards and Justice Hill in its backfield, though they'll surely explore the free-agent market if Dobbins' prognosis is confirmed.
