Here is our fantasy football start/sit article, including all the players we’re calling sleepers and duds this week. Below, let’s take a closer look at a few players to consider this week.
J.K. Dobbins (RB – LAC)
“Chargers’ running back JK Dobbins found another coach named Harbaugh who could finally properly utilize him, as we’ve seen in the early start to the 2024 season. That being said, this week ain’t it. The Chargers limp into their Week 4 matchup against the powerhouse Kansas City Chiefs with a hobbled Justin Herbert – assuming he even plays. While Dobbins is a capable receiver, the Chargers have only used him sparingly in that role. With the game script expected to require lots of passing for the Chargers (i.e., catching up to the Chiefs), this is not the best week for Dobbins.”
– Neema Hodjat (Real GM)
“Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins’s return has obviously been one of the best stories in the NFL this season. He has played well after a comeback from a serious injury. It was tough sledding for him last week vs. Pittsburgh, and now he has to go up against a Chiefs Defense that grades near the top of the NFL vs. the run and that we just watched on Sunday Night pretty much contains Falcons star RB Bijan Robinson. Chargers are 8-point underdogs, so that could further limit the running game if they get behind vs. Patrick Mahomes and right now, we don’t know about the status of QB Justin Herbert’s high ankle injury, which puts further doubt on the Chargers’ offense as a whole.”
– Justin Jaksa (Dr. Roto)
“This week, JK Dobbins is without his sensational rookie LT Joe Alt and his sensational veteran QB Justin Herbert, and he is facing a sensational front and overall defense in Kansas City. The one thing Dobbins has going for him is volume, and the other thing he has going for him is a home game. Neither will matter in this one. I’m looking for Dobbins to post another sub-par line in this one. He’s a mid-range RB3 for me this week.”
– Jeremy Shulman (Fantasy Football Universe)
“J.K. Dobbins was outstanding over the first two weeks, averaging 133 rushing and 20.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the first two weeks, posting a 9.9 yards per attempt average against two awful run defenses. Unfortunately, he struggled in Week 3 when facing the Pittsburgh Steelers, totaling 44 rushing yards, 6.9 fantasy points, and 2.9 yards per attempt. The former Ohio State star has another unfriendly matchup on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have held running backs to the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game (14.3). Dobbins will likely see a stacked box on most snaps in this game with Justin Herbert either unable to play or playing at well below 100%.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)
Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ)
“Unfortunately, Garrett Wilson is someone who will lack upside again this week. This one feels obvious, but Pat Surtain II continues to be a lockdown corner for Denver and a major anchor for that defense. Garrett has been okay thus far, but we could be in for an even bigger disappointment this week as he will be followed all over the field by PS2. You most likely will have to start him, but temper your expectations for upside this week.”
– Shawn Gill (Super Fantasy Bros)
Josh Jacobs (RB – GB)
“I expect Josh Jacobs’ disappointing fantasy season to continue this week. Despite having the 3rd most rushing attempts, Jacobs is the RB28. Even with Jordan Love hopefully returning this week, the Vikings are not a great matchup. The Purple Scandinavians have allowed the second-fewest rushing attempts and third-fewest rushing yards to the RB position, with an average of 86 total yards per game. Considering Jacobs has seen his snap share decrease each week (73%, 67%, 52%) and only one target in his last two games, it may be tough sledding for the veteran in this divisional matchup.”
