J.K. Dobbins Fantasy Football Outlook (ROS)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Mon, Nov 18th 2024, 5:27pm EST

J.K. Dobbins: Led the backfield with 11 carries for 56 yards and 2 touchdowns, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, with a long of 29 yards. Dobbins: Added 1 catch for 3 yards finishing the game with a 735 snap share.
I had the under on Dobbins' rushing yards prop and it looked like it was going to cash until he scored that last touchdown on the final drive to win the game.
Before the last 29-yard rushing touchdown, Dobbins was sitting on 10 carries for 27 yards. Woof.
Gus Edwards: Rushed 6 times for 27 yards, averaging 4.5 yards per carry, with a long of 9 yards. Two red-zone rushing attempts but no touchdowns.
The duo split carries five apiece in the first half, with Dobbins averaging just 1.8 yards per carry.
Hassan Haskins: Carried the ball twice for 1 yard. Two red-zone rushing attempts without a score.
If Dobbins can stay healthy, he will be a force in the fantasy football playoffs against the Patriots. However, it's tough sledding up to that point, and adding Edwards/Haskins into the fold as red-zone headaches is another layer of complexity.
Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, the Chargers also have the second-worst-ranked schedule for running backs.
Said it last week and I'll say it again. It's time to sell high on Dobbins before the stretch run.
