J.K. Dobbins Week 3 Outlook - Chargers at Steelers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Dobbins has been one helluva comeback story after two weeks. He is the RB4 in fantasy, averaging 52% of snaps, 15.5 touches, and 135 total yards. He has crushed per-touch metrics, ranking first in explosive run rate and missed tackles forced per attempt while sitting at 12th in yards after contact per attempt. The Chargers' remade offensive line has been punishing run defenses, ranking first in yards before contact per attempt. Dobbins should have another solid day against a Pittsburgh run defense that has allowed the 10th-highest missed tackle rate, the 14th-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the 13th-highest success rate to zone runs (Dobbins 63% zone).
