Fantasy Impact
Dobbins suffered a torn ACL after being tackled by two defenders during Saturday's win against the Washington Football Team. His absence in 2021 opens up the opportunity for Gus Edwards to be the Ravens' primary ball-carrier, while Lamar Jackson could also see an uptick in carries. If Edwards isn't as effective as the 5.0 YPC he averaged in 2020, offensive coordinator Greg Roman may emphasize short passes to tight end Mark Andrews and newly signed wideout Sammy Watkins as an extension of the running game.
