Drake is healthy
Completely fair - but unlike Dobbins it looks like Gus took his time to heal. Dobbins started practicing on it in August which looks way to soon in hindsight. Im thinking the extra time helped Gus - Im also figuring Drake is not as available as Gus is right now.but.....he`s coming off the same type of injury as Dobbins so why would he do better than Dobbins?Drake doing well should tell you everything you need to know about the potential of an RB in that offense.

Thats why i dont understand how you think injured players would be better than uninjured players. Dont get me wrong, i own Dobbins and im hoping he makes a full recovery,but thinking Gus would be better at this stage is just wishful thinking. Torn ACL`s take 2 years usually for players to fully recover physically and mentally . IMO if you grab Gus be prepared for him to come along slowly just like Dobbins. Grab him and hope for the best ,but after the way Drake ran i think the Ravens may let Dobbins and Gus heal a bit more .
It’s early but your words of caution seem to have been the wise approach so far.....or he may not pay off until 2023. It's not uncommon for RBs with his injury not to perform well his first year back.A little patience will be needed, but he will pay off nicely after the first month of the season after he gets up to speed.Got Dobbins in the 5th. Might be rough early but I think he's itching to prove he's worth a new contract.
J.K. Dobbins (knee) is not practicing Friday.
Dobbins likely won't play in Week 7 against the Browns. Kenyan Drake, who ran for 119 yards on just ten carries last week against the Giants, would seem to be the team's lead back with Dobbins sidelined. Gus Edwards could make his return from a 2021 ACL injury, possibly complicating Drake's prospects as the RB1. Mike Davis could figure in near the goal line and Justice Hill (hamstring) might factor in Baltimore's low-volume rushing offense. Drake is a viable RB2/3 against a Cleveland defense allowing the highest EPA per rush through Week 6.

I don’t think he will be a lot of help to fantasy teams in 2022.I read this five days ago:

time to cut him. Glad I got Drake but who knows how that will turn outWelp that sucks. Dobbins expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
I think Hill will be involved. Not sure I'd feel "good" about starting any of them.Not to piggy back on bad news, but does this make Drake a good start this week or is Edwards expected to play?
yes and noAre you basing this on anything other than your gut?Don’t be surprised if he’s not 100% or the Ravens limit his use in 2022.

Taylor cleared to play SundayFull tank mode for the dynasty team where I roster Dobbins….and Javonte Williams….and Trey Lance…and Akers…and Palmer...and Jonathan Taylor (fine if they shut him down a few more weeks so I can rack up more losses).
Yeah. I know.

I agree. Debating if I should outright cut him or wait until they put him on IR so I can put him on our league IR. Not sure what Baltimore's roster situation is like but if they activate Gus Edwards today they may have to put Dobbins on IR.Wonder if an when JK will be put on IR ? Would be nice to open a roster spot on my bench

I think I am with you.Just submitted to drop on redraft. I don't see the upside of waiting until week 13 and having him maybe be ok. Oh well.
A few days ago Harbaugh said his injury was a smashing success, they got the scar tissue out and he expected him to be running around in 3-4 weeks which would seem to put his earliest return around week 12, could end up being a week or two later.No thoughts on his outlook the rest of this season and beyond?
I have Dobbins but I don’t expect to get anything out of him this season. His 4-6 week injury has turned into 7-8, and by the sound of it the surgery involved cleaning up a lot more damage than they anticipated. He hasn’t been healthy for 2 full years, and even when he was healthy in 2020 he only averaged 66 ypg for rushing and receiving combined. He plays on a team with 4 RB’s and a running QB who has his eyes set on an MVP Award and a big payday. I hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t see any production coming out of this guy this year.A few days ago Harbaugh said his injury was a smashing success, they got the scar tissue out and he expected him to be running around in 3-4 weeks which would seem to put his earliest return around week 12, could end up being a week or two later.No thoughts on his outlook the rest of this season and beyond?
As for how he'll perform and level of touches that's harder to say. He was my #1 player to avoid this year relative to his cost as I did not think his upside merited the cost or risk. But even I've been adding him in a lot of 20 man roster high stakes type events because now he's basically free. My thought is he'll look better then he did earlier this season, lead the team the RB's in carries and have a shot at being in the mid RB2 range.
Expect full rebound in 2023 and a fairly good buy low but I still temper my excitement on the upside of a RB in this offense as they tend to be very TD dependent.

1/3/2021 he has 13/160/2TD's. Today is November 12th, 2022. May sound like I'm splitting hairs but your post, to me, implies he's not been healthy for 2 full seasons. This reminds of Calvin Ridley who people continue to post that when he returns he will have missed two full seasons despite the fact he was suiting up as late as week 7 last year.He hasn’t been healthy for 2 full years
True but he was also a rookie who did not hit double digit carries until week 8 that season and then proceeded to get at least that much workload every week except one and averaged 13.66 PPR fantasy points ROS. Which is not outstanding and why he was on my DND draft list this year as that's enough relative to his cost and injury but that's also comparatively speaking more PPG then Tony Pollard is averaging right now and would put him in category of low end RB2 if he can replicate it.even when he was healthy in 2020 he only averaged 66 ypg for rushing and receiving combined

Gonna have to disagree with you on this one. Gus will be the main man when/if healthy (at least as a runner. Virtually useless in passing game). He looked really good running the ball in both games. 2nd game was Thursday, so a short week and they limited him a bit and then he got dinged. But averaging 6 yards a carry. Plus, excellent at the goal line.I just had to revisit this post lololNo,they're not.but.....he`s coming off the same type of injury as Dobbins so why would he do better than Dobbins?Drake doing well should tell you everything you need to know about the potential of an RB in that offense.

Kenyan Drake's recent play has likely cemented him as Baltimore's lead back for now. Edwards, returning from a hamstring injury, will see some run behind Drake but mostly profiles as running back insurance for fantasy managers stocking their bench with contingency options.

Harbaugh offense has always and will always be a full RBBC. Drake/Edwards/ and eventually Dobbins will all get touches.
This says maybe in the next week or twoAny word on if he’s back this week?
