J.K. Dobbins Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Ravens RB Justice Hill (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Giants. It’ll be J.K. Dobbins and Kenyan Drake as Baltimore’s top 2 RBs.

Ravens RB Justice Hill (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. It looks like it’ll be J.K. Dobbins and Kenyan Drake in Baltimore’s backfield again this weekend.

Ravens beat writer Jeff Zrebiec believes RB J.K. Dobbins “took another step closer to his pre-injury form” in Week 5. Still on a snap count, Dobbins didn’t light up the box score, rushing 8 times for 44 yards. But he gained approval from HC John Harbaugh. “Nothing we didn’t like,” Harbaugh said regarding Dobbins’ limited late-game usage. “I thought he had his best game. He’s getting better every week. I thought he took a jump last week in practice and this week in the game. The (run) for the first down to the left side was spectacular. He was hit in the backfield and ended up getting the first down, broke about five tackles.” Dobbins will face the Giants in Week 6.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins took a step back in Week 5 with 8 carries for 44 yards. He didn’t draw a target in the passing game, despite 32 Lamar Jackson passes and an inactive Rashod Bateman. Plus, even in a close game throughout, he played only 40% of the snaps a week after handling 50% against Buffalo. Of course, we’re still only 3 games into Dobbins’ season following the 2021 ACL tear. We’ll continue to track his workload closely. Next up is a road matchup with the Giants.

Ravens RB Justice Hill (hamstring) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bengals. RBs Mike Davis and Kenyan Drake figure to be active for that one, but neither is on the fantasy radar. RB J.K. Dobbins’ role should continue growing after his snap and carry shares climbed from Week 3 to Week 4.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said RB Justice Hill's hamstring injury is not long-term but that he will miss time. We'll keep an eye on Hill this week, but expect him to miss Sunday night's game vs. the Bengals. That could push Baltimore to give RB J.K. Dobbins a bigger piece of the backfield pie

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins led Sunday's backfield in the loss to Buffalo, collecting 13 carries and 4 targets. Dobbins delivered both of the team's TDs, running 1 in from 4 yards out and catching Lamar Jackson's lone TD pass from 1 yard out. Dobbins averaged just 3.2 yards across his 13 rushes, though, and 5.5 yards on his 4 receptions. Nearly all of his 22 receiving yards came on a single 20-yard reception. Justice Hill handled another 8 carries and 2 targets but left early with a hamstring injury. We'll see about Hill's status for Week 5, as well as whether Gus Edwards is ready to come off the PUP list.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins made his season debut in Sunday's win over the Patriots, totaling 40 yards on 9 touches. Dobbins trailed only QB Lamar Jackson in rushing attempts (7), gaining 23 yards. He added 17 via 2 receptions on his only 2 targets. Dobbins' playing time proved near-identical to Justice Hill's in all phases. We'd bet on that shifting more toward Dobbins as he moves further from the knee recovery. But Baltimore also figures to get RB Gus Edwards back on the field fairly soon. So don't be surprised if Dobbins spends the year sharing more work than you'd like him to. RB Kenyan Drake was a healthy scratch for Week 3. RB Mike Davis played 1 snap.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. It’s his first action since last August’s multi-ligament knee injury. RB Kenyan Drake is a healthy scratch, leaving RBs Justice Hill and Mike Davis behind Dobbins.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins "may not even be limited in workload" vs. the Patriots today -- his 1st game off since last August's multi-ligament knee injury. We're not totally buying the report, but it does add some upside to Dobbins if you're weighing him against similarly ranked options.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins is expected to make his season debut Sunday against the Patriots, according to multiple reports. We’d hold off on using Dobbins in fantasy football lineups right away, as we have yet to see just how much work he’ll get. But we wouldn’t be surprised to see him quickly work his way to the front of an otherwise weak backfield.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is again listed as questionable after a full week of practice. He was in the same spot last week before ending up inactive vs. the Dolphins. We'll find out whether Dobbins is playing against the Patriots around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. But we're expecting him to be on a touch count if he does.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) put in another full practice on Thursday. Mike Preston of The Baltimore Sun wrote yesterday that “there’s a lot of optimism” regarding Dobbins’ ability to reach pre-injury form. We’d just bet against it showing right away. Plus, Dobbins still isn't a lock to suit up for Week 3 vs. New England.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) put in another full practice on Wednesday. Of course, he was full all last week before missing the Dolphins game, so his status for Sunday's tilt with the Patriots remains uncertain. Baltimore's RBs have been completely ineffective in Dobbins' absence.
