J.K. Dobbins
RB - Los Angeles Chargers - OUT
Availability
J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been placed on injured reserve by the Los Angeles Chargers according to Tom Pelissero.
Fantasy Impact
Dobbins will now miss at least the next four weeks after suffering an MCL sprain in a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Gus Edwards, Hassan Haskins, and Kimani Vidal will split backfield touches moving forward for head coach Jim Harbaugh until Dobbins is able to return.
J.K. Dobbins will miss time after suffering a knee sprain on Monday vs. the Ravens. He has been ruled out for Week 13 vs the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
Dobbins' status going forward is uncertain, but we know he will be out this week. Gus Edwards figures to take over as the primary running back while Dobbins is out.
J.K. Dobbins carried the ball 11 times for 56 yards and two touchdowns while adding a three-yard catch in a 34-27 win over the Bengals in Week 11.
Fantasy Impact
Dobbins has now posted two multi-touchdown games in his past three contests. The veteran running back found the end zone on one and 29-yard carries, with his 29-yard touchdown going down as the game-winner with 18 seconds left on the clock. Dobbins has run for 726 yards and eight touchdowns in 10 games this season and can be treated as a low-end RB1 in fantasy for the rest of the season. He will take on his old team, the Baltimore Ravens, in Week 12.
J.K. Dobbins rushed the ball 15 times for 50 yards and caught three passes for five yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy Impact
Dobbins saw 18 touches against the Titans on Sunday, but he wasn't able to do much with them. He totaled just 55 yards and failed to score a touchdown, which left him with an underwhelming fantasy outing overall. Gus Edwards made his return and was the leading rusher for Los Angeles, so it looks like Los Angeles may take a committee approach in their backfield for the foreseeable future, which is very bad news for Dobbins if it comes to fruition.
Dobbins ran for 85 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries and caught both of his targets for 20 yards in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Dobbins ran well against the Cleveland Browns defense, notching two scores in the process. He's struggled with efficiency over the last several weeks, but Dobbins finally was able to average more than 6 YPC in this contest. He's been the main man for the Chargers all year, and it doesn't look like that's changing any time soon.
