Fantasy Football Player Notes

J.K. Dobbins reprised his early down only role in Week 1 to open the 2026 season. Dobbins played 40.4% of the snaps while handling 53.3% of the designed carries and seeing only a 15.2% route share. Dobbins finished with eight carries and 36 rushing yards. Dobbins will be a game-script-sensitive flex again this season. He did look like his normal self running the ball with a solid 12.5% explosive run rate and 3.5 yards after contact per attempt. Dobbins is a sit this week, though. I don't think gamescript is in his favor, and Jacksonville's run defense should be able to keep him from ripping off any big runs. Last week, Jacksonville allowed the second-lowest explosive run rate, the ninth-fewest yards after contact per attempt, and the sixth-lowest missed tackle rate.

RJ Harvey operated as the passing-down complement to J.K. Dobbins in Week 1. He played 55.3% of the snaps with a 42.4% route share. Harvey had a 14.3% target share and finished with seven touches and 41 total yards. Harvey is a viable PPR flex for Week 2. Last season, Jacksonville ranked 15th in yards per route run allowed to running backs while giving up the 11th-most receiving fantasy points per game to the position. Harvey popped up with a hamstring injury this week, so I'll continue to monitor his status as we move closer to Sunday. He didn't practice on Wednesday.
