steelwind Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I have Lamar and I'm wondering if I'm limiting myself. I basically have two RBs from the Ravens (Lamar and Dobbins) who will siphon goal line and running plays from one another. Oh and then there's Gus taking some of that too. I'm wondering if I should move Dobbins. I want to keep Lamar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see this evolving into a bigger split for Dobbins as the season wears on. Ingram will be the odd man out. Gus is an excellent football player and will carry the load with Dobbins.

Could also think of it as, while they are all getting some yards most likely, you have twice as much of a chance of getting a player into the endzone. Although, it was much more appealing last year when they were scoring many more TDs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempting, but not only is he part of a 3 headed monster, I don't want Lamar and a Ravens rb....Lamar is the leading ravens rb. Yes, the two other guys may both be gone next year and dobbins would be good if he was a bell cow despite Lamar running too, but I'm in win now mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faust Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Week 9 pressing fantasy football questions: Is J.K. Dobbins the key to turning Ravens offense around? Excerpt: Quote There are a couple of solutions here. J.K. Dobbins is coming off acing his first shot as the clear primary back last week. With Mark Ingram not practicing mid-week, he could easily find himself back in that role. Greg Roman and company could try to get him more involved in screens and passes to the flat. He already leads the backs in routes run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Week 10 Dynasty Risers and Fallers: Brandin Cooks remains undervalued Excerpt: Quote FALLER: RB J.K. DOBBINS, BALTIMORE RAVENS Dobbins came out of Ohio State as a player who checked all of the boxes. He carried the ball 301 times for 2,003 yards and 21 scores while adding at least 20 receptions in all three of his collegiate seasons. He checked all of the boxes on film, as well. From PFF's Mike Renner’s breakdown of him in the spring, “Dobbins has arguably the best vision in the class. … Dobbins is consistent with his pacing as he approaches the line of scrimmage, and he's decisive with his cuts.” The Ravens affirmed his talent by spending a second-round pick on him in the 2020 NFL Draft. Since then, things have gone downhill for Dobbins. Even with Mark Ingram sidelined for the past two weeks, Dobbins has not assumed a three-down or even two-down role. He has split carries with Gus Edwards (27-27) evenly. Edwards, who did not have a reception on the year heading into Week 8, also saw just one fewer target than Dobbins (4 to 3) in those two games. As a runner, Dobbins has shown nothing but excellence. His 3.6 yards after contact per attemptranks top five (min. 50 carries) among backs. His usage remains the problem. No level of efficiency will get Dobbins to an RB1 season if he continues to split his backfield with Edwards and Ingram, who is expected to return this week. Dobbins’ unquestionable talent should win out in the long run, so it’s reasonable to buy the dip here. However, it’s not a guarantee that he ever moves beyond operating in a committee. Acquiring Dobbins in dynasty leagues is a high-upside, modest-floor move that is risky but worth the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Quote #AskFFT @daverichard Per @JasonLaCanfora, Dobbins "is going to be given the opportunity to emerge" in the Ravens backfield. #AskFFT https://twitter.com/daverichard/status/1328007930558427142?s=21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faust Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Quote J.K. Dobbins had five carries for 13 yards in Week 10 against the Patriots. Dobbins saw fewer touches than Mark Ingram (7) and Gus Edwards (8). It was more of the same from OC Greg Roman, with Baltimore using all three backs with little effectiveness. Dobbins flashed during Ingram's absence but it didn't translate into a larger role. He'll likely remain in the lesser half of a committee in Week 11 against the Titans.

Yes, if you can get someone like Wayne Gallman or Salvon Ahmed at the RB position. That three-headed monster situation in Baltimore just makes all Ravens RB unstartable. You're just hoping that they'll manage to fall in the end zone, though Lamar will more than likely vulture any TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One great, one subpar: Week 8 - v. Pitt; 15/113 yds - 7.5 yds/carry; Edwards had good stats too - 16/87 5.4 yds/carry Week 9 - v. Colts 12/30 yds 2.5 yds/carry; Edwards slightly worse - 11/23 - 2.1 yds/carry I don't think Baltimore ever planned on moving away from the three-headed cluster.

Pitchfork Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Last week he saw 29 snaps, to 17 for Ingram and 15 for Edwards. Obviously touches were invented (6,7,8) but he ran a lot of routes and watching the game was the "lead" back. I feel like he has a couple big weeks before the end of the year but good luck predicting when they'll be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Show Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Is Harbaugh ever going to let this guy loose and get majority of the touches at any pt this season? I honestly think Dobbins is on the wrong team to succeed. Lamar steals 30 percent of the running plays and rarely if every checks down. Dobbins seems like he would be fantastic on screen plays too but I can’t remember the last game I’ve seen Baltimore run one. Just curious on some others thoughts? Is the best yet to come or more of the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ingrams 2019 season will be roughly what JK posts in year 2 with Ingram fully out of the picture. 1,000 yards, 10tds.... probably little more than ingrams 25 receptions. I think from there his role with grow but only incrementally. This year, though, he will be wholey unreliable in my opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking into the mileage idea again recently and one study I found points to 1800 carries as being a point of no return for 8 RBs. Ingram is currently at 1580. His highest touch season was 288, for carries its 230. He hasn't had a large workload in any season, splitting time with other RB for most of his career. He is 31 years old though. Maybe thats it.
