Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic writes that he doesn't expect Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (ACL) to participate in the team's preseason games. It's fair to assume that he could open training camp on the PUP list. (The Athletic)
Fantasy Impact:
Dobbins tore his ACL last season and hasn't played in a regular-season game since his rookie campaign in 2020. That year, he totaled 805 rushing yards, 120 receiving yards, and 14 touchdowns from scrimmage. With an elite offensive line and an offense that is expected to be very run-heavy this coming season, Dobbins projects as a mid-range RB2 with top-12 upside if he's healthy. However, his health is not a guarantee by any means. As Zrebiec writes, "Knee injuries certainly can be problematic for running backs and there has been some outside pessimism about Dobbins’ availability and effectiveness in 2022." It will be imperative to watch his progression throughout training camp before making a final decision on his value ahead of fantasy drafts.
