J.K. Dobbins Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is officially done for the season. The sophomore suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the preseason finale against the Washington Football Team, and although team officials were hopeful, the bad news was confirmed on Sunday by an MRI. Last season, Dobbins was one of the most impactful fantasy options, finishing with 805 yards and nine touchdowns off 134 carries. Gus Edwards will likely assume the starting role moving forward, with Justice Hill and Ty'Son Williams probably backing him up. However, there have been rumblings that the Ravens are interested in signing free agent Todd Gurley II, and if he does agree to a deal, Hill and Williams probably won't get much work.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is currently undergoing an MRI on his knee. We don't know the official diagnosis on his injury yet. However, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Ravens' expectation prior to the MRI was that he had suffered a season-ending knee injury in Saturday's preseason game against the Washington Football Team. We should get official news on the injury later today, but fantasy managers should expect for Dobbins to be sidelined for at least most of the 2021 season. As a result, Gus Edwards will be shooting up draft boards as he could be a potential RB2 as the lead back for the Ravens. Justice Hill could also be worth consideration in the late rounds of fantasy drafts while Ty'Son Williams is a name to jot down for extra-deep leagues.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) will undergo further testing on Sunday to determine the severity of the left knee injury he suffered during Sunday's preseason finale against the Washington Football Team. During the opening drive, the sophomore back went down and could not put any weight on his left leg before he was ultimately ruled out and carted off the field. The 23-year-old, former Ohio State Buckeye was fantastic during his inaugural campaign, finishing with 805 yards and nine touchdowns off 134 attempts. He was predicted to get an enhanced role after the departure of Mark Ingram II, although there is still a chance he avoided anything serious. Nonetheless, if Dobbins misses any time moving ahead, Gus Edwards would undoubtedly benefit from a fantasy standpoint.
