2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dobbins missed four weeks with an MCL sprain in 2024, yet by his recent standards it was a major success to play even 13 games. He came back from an Achilles tear suffered Week 1 of 2023 and quickly emerged as the Chargers' starting running back after signing a one-year contract. Dobbins was dominant at Ohio State and averaged 5.8 yards per carry in 24 games for the Ravens after they made him a second-round pick, but injuries limited him to nine total appearances from 2021 through 2023. He didn't have the same explosiveness after his re-emergence in Los Angeles last year, averaging 4.6 YPC for the season but just 3.8 YPC from Week 3 onward. The Chargers moved on with Najee Harris and first-round pick Omarion Hampton leading their backfield, and Dobbins now finds himself in Denver after signing a one-year deal in June. He'll compete for touches with second-round pick RJ Harvey, but Dobbins is only 26 years old, and now two years removed from his last major surgery, so he could still prove productive if he finds his way into a lead role again.

RANKS
Works ahead of Harvey
Dobbins rushed the ball 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Denver's backfield was one of the more interesting ones to monitor in Week 1, and Dobbins ultimately out-touched RJ Harvey 18-7. Dobbins was largely held in check by the Titans' defense, though he did manage 12 carries for 51 yards in the second half -- highlighted by a 19-yard touchdown scamper midway through the fourth quarter to secure victory for the Broncos. Positive game script likely tilted usage in Dobbins' direction, but he looks to be the lead back by at least a small margin for the time being.

Arguably no player has been handed worse injury luck than Dobbins the last three years. His 2021 ended in the preseason with a gruesome multi-ligament knee injury, one that lingered into the 2022 season and required an in-season arthroscopic surgery. Dobbins then came back strong late in 2022 and won his starting job back, only to suffer a torn Achilles' tendon Week 1 of 2023, just in time for him to enter free agency. The Chargers gave Dobbins a one-year contract, reuniting him with former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman (now in the same role under Jim Harbaugh). Roman will also have Gus Edwards in his backfield again, with the 29-year-old coming off a career-high 13 TDs in Baltimore last season. Dobbins was the more explosive runner for the Ravens when both were healthy, but the track record of running backs coming back from Achilles' tears remains daunting, particularly in the first year after the injury. If Dobbins has lost a step or two, it could open the door for not only Edwards but also rookie sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could open season as RB1
Maurice Jones-Drew of NFL.com believes Dobbins will begin the 2025 season as the Broncos' top running back.
ANALYSIS
Jones-Drew expects rookie second-round pick RJ Harvey to eventually supplant Dobbins as the top option in Denver's backfield, but Dobbins' edge in experience gives the veteran the inside track on the Week 1 starting job. Dobbins has been effective when healthy, averaging 5.2 yards per carry in his NFL career. He set a career high with 905 rushing yards as a member of the Chargers in the 2024 regular season and scored nine rushing touchdowns, tying his career high from his rookie campaign with the Ravens in 2020.
