RB Kimani Vidal, LAC (1 Viewer)

Dobbins returned to practice, per numerous reports. Listed as questionable. Vidal and Haskins would be next guys up if Edwards (out) and Dobbins (questionable) can’t go.

eta* Dobbins listed as having a full practice, but he is still listed as questionable. If that helps at all, which I think it does.

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is officially questionable to be activated from Injured Reserve and play against the New England Patriots on Saturday. The former Baltimore Ravens' second-round pick has missed the last four games after suffering a knee injury but could return to action after logging two limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, he did not practice on Thursday, so he might be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 17. Gus Edwards (ankle) won't play against the Patriots, so if Dobbins is also out, rookie Kimani Vidal and veteran Hassan Haskins will likely share touches. All Chargers' backs are risky fantasy options given all the uncertainty.
No. Right from the Chargers. Full participant, questionable. Thursday.

Scroll down right past the post that says “headin’ east” and you’ll see Dobbins above Edwards. Edwards DNP and listed as “out."

Ok. Thanks for the info. I got it from the today’s snips from RTSports. I did pick him up just in case.

You’re welcome. I got fooled by a Tyrone Tracy blurb today. It said Tracy practiced when he apparently did no such thing (I think). I think AI is putting these things together, and they’re often wrong. You really have to double check from the original report. Pain in the keester, but until Google and other engines stop using AI so much, we’re stuck doing it.
 
I mean, has any product become more enshittified than Google because of their AI? I mean, besides Facebook, but that’s for other reasons than AI.

Hopefully we get Dobbins back this week. But can we trust him in our championship lineups?

Depends on your rooster, guy. No, I’m kidding but being serious. I also posted this in the Vidal thread because somebody was thinking of going with Vidal. I thought the Dobbins practice report was important enough to Vidal’s prospects to post.

So this wasn’t a Dobbins post, really. It was a “how does this affect Vidal” posting.

But to your question: If you were in my situation where you were staring at Tyrone Tracy, Kendre Miller, or Austin Hooper to fill out your last TE/RB spot (been my Achilles’ heel all year), you’d love a Dobbins on your roster returning from the dead. If you had, say, a Charbonnet sitting around, I’d go with Charbonnet in a heartbeat.
What about a matchup where I'm the clear underdog and in my flex I have either Kupp or McMillan in a PPR? Opponent already has 50+ points on the board thanks to Lamaar Jackson and Kelce.

That’s a tough one. I’d have to have paid attention more closely to McMillan to give you advice. I know that Dobbins in PPR went 23, 20, 8, 9, 18, 10, 17, 24.50 (high of all games), 8.50, 18.90, 8.90. He hasn’t broken a hundred yards since Week 2, and those high scores at the end are games in which he scored two touchdowns.

I’d lean McMillan or Kupp given your situation. That’s only what I would do, though, and I’ve been a lousy sit/start guy in the past (although not this year).
