J.K. Dobbins Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) began practicing this week after being designated to return from Injured Reserve, but he will not play against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Dobbins aggravated his knee in Week 6 after suffering a torn ACL that cost him the 2021 season. It appears he'll return to the field at some point this year, but it won't be until at least Week 14. When he does return, he'll almost certainly be in a timeshare with Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake, so his upside is capped, even in a run-heavy offense.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was officially designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday. Furthermore, the third-year running back will practice today. Dobbins has missed the past five games after having surgery to remove scar tissue from his knee. The young running back missed the entire 2021 season after suffering a severe knee injury in the preseason. He then missed the first two games this season, recovering from that injury. Hopefully, Dobbins' knee is 100% healthy, and the star running back can finish the year on a positive note. However, fantasy players shouldn't get too excited about his return, as Dobbins will share the backfield with Gus Edwards and potentially Kenyan Drake.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) will return to practice this week after a six-week absence, opening a 21-day window to be activated from Injured Reserve. Dobbins missed all of his sophomore season with a torn ACL and had to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-October of this season. It remains to be seen if he'll be activated ahead of Baltimore's game against the Denver Broncos, but he would carry a ton of risk in his first game back -- whenever that might be. The Ravens will likely continue using a running-back-by-committee approach for the remainder of the season, so Dobbins will never have a strong enough workload to provide a solid fantasy floor.
