J.K. Dobbins Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins ran for two touchdowns against the Browns on Sunday. While the rookie's seven rushes for 22 yards wasn't the most impressive showing, his ability to get his number called inside the five-yard line should raise the eyebrows of fantasy managers. As expected, Mark Ingram II was involved. Still, his 29 yards off of 10 attempts may open the door for the second-round pick to become more involved from a volume standpoint moving ahead, with that trend potentially starting against the Texans in Week 2. Dobbins will undoubtedly be a popular waiver wire target throughout the week, especially for those in need of a back in deeper formats.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is a risky option in Week 1 against the Browns. Although it's expected that the rookie receives a prominent role in 2020, he may concede carries to Mark Ingram II, especially during goal-line opportunities. Until Dobbins' workload is revealed, his presence in fantasy lineups is risky, particularly for those who have other options. If needed, primarily in deeper formats, he is a borderline flex option, at best, but his activity and opportunity for work should be monitored on a week-to-week basis.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins has looked "dynamic" in training camp, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. According to Zrebiec, Dobbins will have a role in Week 1's season opener against the Cleveland Browns. He wrote, "Mark Ingram remains the starter and Gus Edwards still figures to get his touches, but Dobbins will have a role in Week 1." Dobbins has boom/bust potential in fantasy leagues depending on how his drafters want to view his situation. Fellow running backs Nick Chubb and Miles Sanders both overcame veterans ahead of them on the depth chart in the previous two seasons to make an impact in fantasy. Of course, Ingram is a more productive runner at this stage of his career than either back Sanders or Chubb supplanted. Dobbins is best drafted as an RB3, although an ADP in the late-sixth round is a bit rich at this moment.
