RB J.K. Dobbins, DEN (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
Don't you think The Steeler's know this?

You don't win leagues in W2 or W3. Dobbins's production isn't sustainable on 10-12 touches, either. Please give me the younger player who has shown similar traits and has double the workload over a player that's never stayed healthy all day.

Why? Dobbins should never exceed 18 touches if the coaching staff knows what’s good for them
Pretty sure dobbins will get scripted out without Herbert and the team will just be **** prolly starting Najee know if Herbert is that hobbled

I'll be rooting for him! I've been as big a fan of Dobbins as any in this thread over the years. It's a great story.

I didn't know he was leading the league in rushing until you told me that. I just thought he was having excellent fantasy days and gaining plenty of yards.

Redraft or dynasty?
Either way, Kirk started to look like good Kirk last week, which means fire. But if it's redraft and I squint hard enough and you need a back bad enough I could see it.

sorry redraft

Anyone sitting him this week? No Herbert against a good D?

I bet the Steelers will be thinking along the same lines, this will be a true test for the Charger running game.

I expect a drop off this week.
On top of PIT's defense, LAC defense should look good in this matchup. And both teams want to run. Feels like a game where there are just less plays run, less possessions. Low scoring.
Don't really know if you can bench him, but it's a good guess he won't have a monster game.
But you have preseason, what we are told, and what we think we know, and we need to adjust to what is actually happening. He's a massive value, and he's 1A.
Is it not sustainable? Will he not lead the league in rushing?
Maybe not. Big deal. Bunch of owners took him as RB3, and he's now their RB1.
Think of how the story changes. A month ago, he was in a share, and some thought he was completely cooked. Now the argument is, Well he ain't gonna sustain this, and be the overall RB1.

Enjoy Dobbins while you can.

You can say the same for every RB in the NFL. They all get injured sooner or later, it just so happens Dobbins’ bad luck came early in his career. In fact, one could argue that, in terms of odds and luck, Dobbins is less likely to get seriously injured for a third time before many of his contemporaries get seriously injured for the first or second time.
Not only that, but in a way, Dobbins, still just 25 years old, was lucky to have his run of bad luck while still young enough to completely return to his explosive self.

Yup, benching him this week only because I have many good options. Tough matchup, gimpy QB, and due for a meh kinda game. I actually would kinda like to see them let Edwards take most of the beating this week and give Dobbins something of a breather.

I'm not I buy your last statement.
satch

Why? If Pittsburgh is going to stack the box all game I’d rather Edwards be the one repeatedly smashed into a brick wall than Dobbins.

Dobbins also gives them the best chance at chunk plays, especially with Stick at QB. I doubt the Charger’s win this game without a few longer run plays and Dobbin’s is the guy who can give them that.
satch
Footballguy
Yeah, I agree with using Dobbins strategically, just don’t hammer him into a brick wall all game is all I’m saying.
King of the Jungle
Footballguy
As a Dobbin’s holder I agree, however I do not think Harbaugh cares what we think.

Even with Dobbins stock rising perhaps more than another player, he's still a buy IMO. Joe Alt has exceeded all expectations at RT and is quickly becoming one of the best OL in the league. Along with a healthy Rashawn Slater and Zion Johnson, Bolts have 3 recent 1st rounders on the line - with Slater being an All Pro and Alt showing All Pro potential early.
TLDR: San Diego may have an under the radar top tier OL.

Dammit Faust. I had come to logical terms of sitting him this week for another option. I played out all scenarios and did the math. Spoke to sources. Came to a great peace of mind about sitting him. Then this. Smhx.com

Is it really relevant though? He's on a different team now that's not as offensively talented as his prior teamDammit Faust. I had come to logical terms of sitting him this week for another option.

Sure you can, but some just get injured way more than others, like Dobbins, and that is something you can't ignore and just throw it in the "well all RBs get injured" bucket . Dobbins has had way more severe injuries than most RBs.
All I'm saying is enjoy the ride while it lasts, because with Dobbins it probably won't.

Can’t remember any FF “experts” mentioning Edwards return this week
I think this team has visions of making the playoffs. I absolutely think it's about managing Dobbins workload. Great for him and the team, sucks for us owners.

Sounds about right. As much as they run the ball, splitting carries is unfortunately really going to devalue both of them, especially when neither is overly active in the passing game (Dobbins a bit, Gus not at all).
King of the Jungle

Any updates on severity?
I heard he had a brace on it and was testing it on the sideline, so not catastrophic

JK Dobbins should never be allowed on the same football field as the Ravens ever again

I'm sure another MRI is coming, stay tuned....

Bummer for him if that is the case, was on his way to a decent contract somewhere if he could make it through the season. Hopefully nothing severe…

Been trying to trade him all season in a redraft. Unsuccessful. Everyone knew better and I’m stuck holding the bag. Hopefully just a week injury but no news.

Nothing against Morse, who’s all over Twitter, but he’s kind of a quack.
