I posted in the game thread sometime either deep into the first half or early in the second that I hadn't noticed him on the field yet. All I can think of is: 1. Maybe he WAS in earlier and missed a block or something, so Harbaugh sent him to his room for a while. 2. Something happened during the week that Harbaugh didn't like. 3. Harbaugh/Roman were playing games with Houston and wanted him as a fresh hammer at the end of the game. Which is kind of what he ended up being. The game was pretty much over anyway, but that 40 yard run put the nail in. I've posted here and in other threads that I think he's the Ravens' most talented back. I just don't know how to make sense of it for FF week-to-week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should know Dobbins is on the same team as Ingram and that will affect 2020. It's 2021 you should be looking for Dobbins to shine on a consistent basis. I look for Ingram to be on another team this time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lopsided game scripts haven't helped his cause either. Lopsided game scripts are pretty much the perfect time to see what the rook's got.

massraider Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Might just be as simple as trusting the vet. This is a top contender, they don't NEED Dobbins to take over, and make rookie mistakes on the field.

chad in Indy Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I didn't see the game.

barackdhouse Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) He didn't know where to line up almost every time he was in there. Jackson had to babysit him pre snap. I only saw one blitz where he got rocked but they brought the whole house on it. As for usage at the end, they were rotating between the 3 backs on every single play. I don't think it had anything to do with bringing JK as a close out hammer. It was just one new RB in on each play. Sucks.

Faust Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Roster/personnel changes NFL teams should make right now Excerpt: Quote Baltimore Ravens: Promote J.K. Dobbins to RB1 Dobbins was my top-rated running back in this year's draft class. I like his instinctive, quick-cut ability and speed. In his limited body of pro work so far, the rookie has proven to be the most explosive running back in the Ravens' loaded backfield. Right now, he sits third on the current depth chart behind Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards, with Dobbins logging nine attempts to Ingram's 19 and Edwards' 14. But Dobbins' fresh legs and excellent acceleration both through the hole and getting outside should warrant more carries, if not a promotion to RB1. I like what I've seen so far -- and so do the Ravens -- as Dobbins has turned minimal touches into big gains. Though he's totaled just those nine totes in two games, Dobbins has racked up 70 yards for a whopping 7.8 yards per carry and two touchdowns. He hasn't been all that involved in the pass game yet (one catch on one target for 13 yards), but he has the ability to be effective as a runner after the catch. Once he's given the chance, he will show he is the most dangerous running back the Ravens have. It's time to unleash the youngster as a key player in Greg Roman's system.

The_Man Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 He's joining two well-established veterans in the backfield of the team that shattered the NFL's 40-year-old rushing record last year. Did you think they were just going to put him at the top of the depth chart in Week 1? The kid has had two very good games and his workload is only going to grow. I think the Ravens have actually been keeping things pretty vanilla leading up to what, for them, is a huge measuring stick game vs. KC. Dobbins was great catching the ball in training camp and I wouldn't be surprised to see them throw to him a lot. They did come out very briefly with Ingram and Dobbins in the backfield together for one series vs Houston and Dobbins was left uncovered for what would have literally been a long walk-in TD reception if Lamar had seen him.

The Frankman Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Quote J.K. Dobbins rushed one time for six yards in the Ravens' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs. He caught all four of his targets for 38 yards to lead the Ravens in receiving on a night Lamar Jackson threw for just 97 yards. Dobbins has just three carries over the last two weeks after scoring twice in the opener. He simply can't be used in 12-team leagues as a fantasy starter right now, even ahead of a tasty Week 4 date with Washington. - Rotoworld Edited September 29, 2020 by The Frankman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faust Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Quote J.K. Dobbins rushed five times for 16 yards in the Ravens' Week 4 win against Washington, adding one catch for for one yard. Dobbins had a meager two targets. No Baltimore running back outside Mark Ingram is fantasy relevant right now. Dobbins is an OK bench stash.

If Dobbins' blocking doesn't improve, he's gonna struggle to get consistent snaps. Whether any of us think that bad blocking should keep Baltimore's most talented RB on the bench or not doesn't matter - Harbaugh believes it should. Dobbins had several whiffs in the Houston game, which had me fearing for Jackson's well-being (& where I think Lamar hurt his knee, which I think the Ravens have been underplaying). Mark Ingram is a marvelous blocker and Gus Edwards is good, too. Dobbins' 34 yard run last week was a thing of beauty and I certainly want him playing more but, if he can't block, his time is going to be spotty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apeman Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I've been waiting for Dobbins to be dropped in a keep-3 redraft auction league and I think this is the time. I know that runs contrary to the prevailing opinion, but I'm betting that two things will happen in the next two weeks: 1) Edwards continues to get more opportunity than Dobbins 2) Pittsburgh and Indy are two tough units. Neither Edwards nor Dobbins will do enough to separate themselves from the pack and Ingram will return, rendering everyone valueless again. This may be a bit of a hot take, but I'll stand by it.

The Frankman Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Quote J.K. Dobbins rushed 15 times for 113 yards in the Ravens' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, adding one catch for eight yards. Both Dobbins and Gus Edwards were effective on the ground against Pittsburgh, as Edwards saw one more carry than his rookie backfield mate. Dobbins displayed excellent patience and vision throughout the game, avoiding a few massive hits from oncoming Steelers defenders and picking up extra yards after failed arm tackles. Dobbins by no means seized the lead back role -- Edwards got the start and will continue to split touches out of the backfield for as long as Mark Ingram (ankle) is out. Dobbins and Edwards will both be RB3 options next week against the Colts. - Rotoworld Edited November 1, 2020 by The Frankman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
