Mark Ringo
Sleepers and Busts
Last year Dobbins was coming off reconstructive knee surgery. It didn't go well. He wasn't ready. This year should go better. His body has had time to heal. in addition, the Ravens' offense should be more explosive. A healthy Lamar Jackson along with newcomers Odell Beckham and Zay Flowers can all flat-out fly. They could propel Baltimore's offense to a whole new level. The con of Lamar is he doesn't throw it to his RBs much. He doesn't have to. Lamar is so elusive, he just takes off and runs. Jackson also vultures a few TDs. The other concern is Gus Edwards. He's 238 lbs. He had six TDs in 2020. He could vulture some too. Those factors limit Dobbins' upside. Currently, Dobbins's ADP at RB 18 is a bit high, but not outrageous considering the firepower Baltimore has. Remember, the J.K. either stands for just keep expectations reasonable or just keep telling those awful jokes Ringo haha! Probably the latter haha!The word on the street is that the Vikings aren't bringing back star RB Dalvin Cook. Cook is still electric with the ball. It's more about the salary cap than a decline in his play. Possible landing spots include Miami, N.Y. Jets, L.A. Rams, Dallas, Cleveland, etc. I guess you could say Minnesota thought it had too many Cooks in the kitchen haha! Players might switch teams over the years but don't worry. Ringo's bad jokes will always be there for you haha! Stay tuned.
Ellis Johnson
True North Fantasy Football
Despite only playing 22 full games in his three seasons in the league, Dobbins still has support from the fantasy community. He's a tough back to the project as the team is expected to be more reliant on the passing game, and Dobbins only has 25 career receptions. Even without his passing work, he is the lead back on a dynamic team. Despite Lamar Jackson potentially stealing goalline opportunities, he should see enough opportunity to be a steady RB-two for fantasy. 
Brandon Funston
The Athletic
Just 8 games in 2022 coming off brutal knee injury, but he closed in exciting fashion, with 7.0 YPC and 100 yards per game in his final 4 contestsLike Mixon, some worry that MIN is looking to move on from Cook, but he's worth a Round 3 gamble given talent, 4 straight Top 15 RB finishes
Andrew Erickson
FantasyPros
Coming back from major knee surgery, J.K. Dobbins' 2022 season debut was delayed until Week 3. And he posted middling results, failing to surpass 50 rushing yards or 13 carries in any game with little receiving usage to speak of (6 targets). It was revealed that Dobbins needed another knee surgery after Week 6 and he was placed on IR until Week 14. It wasn't until Dobbins came back later in the year that fantasy managers got a glimpse of what the talented RB displayed as a rookie. The Ravens RB1 played in five games (including playoffs) averaging 6.6 yards per carry, 92 rushing yards, and 14 carries per game. Although he still split time with Gus Edwards - nearly identical carry totals in the Wild Card Round loss to the Bengals - and Dobbins' receiving usage remained obsolete with just 7 targets total to close out the year (5 of which came versus Cincinnati).We may have finally seen the end of Dalvin Cook's elite status among fantasy RBs in 2022. The Vikings star RB finished dead last among all ball carries in rushing EPA and rushes for zero or negative yardage. Cook ended the season as the RB8 overall and RB10 in points per game despite earning the league's 4th-highest opportunity share (78%). With Minnesota re-investing in the running back position with Alexander Mattison returning, we could see Cook's role on offense reduced in 2023.
Wolf of Roto Street
Roto Street Journal
5/5: No competition added, offense should be significantly more explosive w/ Todd Monken + Lamar back with new weaponry. Big big winner of the offseason after tearing it up, even though clearly not with his final gear, to close last season Bet he pushes for 2023 Comeback Player of the Year. Didn't have his full gear and STILL was dominant (elite vision) once he returned from injury.5/5: Still a rumored cut candidate... tough to go in on Cook despite his historic success. He looked Cookd lst year. 3/17: Mattison back, and not on the cheap. Could this be a threat for Dalvin? Or could he be traded to a juicier situation?
Derek Lofland
FantasyPros
Dobbins played in only 8 games during the fantasy season, finishing with 520 yards rushing, 42 yards receiving, and 3 TDs. He should be more consistent a year removed from his knee injury, making him a low-end RB2 to flex option, depending on what happens with Lamar Jackson's contract.Cook had 1,136 yards rushing, 295 yards receiving, and 11 touchdowns in the fantasy season. He has not been the same TD scorer that he was in 2019 and 2020, when he tallied 30 TDs in those 2 seasons, but he is still a very good RB1.
