Limited to nine games over the previous three seasons combined due to knee and Achilles' injuries, Dobbins stayed mostly healthy in 2024, playing in 13 of 17 games and setting career bests in carries (195) and yards (905) while scoring nine times. The Chargers were so impressed that they... signed Najee Harris, drafted Hampton, and allowed the Ohio State alum to walk in free agency.
It's hard to blame them. For as hot as Dobbins started in 2024, he trailed off quickly, failing to top 100 rushing yards in a game after Week 2 and averaging 4.0 yards per carry or less in eight of his final 11 outings. He's never been much of a threat in the passing game, either. Perhaps the Broncos will find the right mix of involvement to keep the oft-injured back on the field this year. Perhaps not. Right now, he looks like a veteran presence at a position littered with youth and inexperience.
Fantasy owners should, for the most part, ignore his 1,058-yard, 9-TD effort from last year. LA had limited options, and their willingness to move on from him even after a solid season tells you they don't think he can handle being a lead back. Dobbins remains a top-50 fantasy option at the position, and as your fourth or fifth back (depending on league size) he could provide decent depth.

Denver adds J.K. Dobbins to running back room
Dobbins and Harvey expected to lead rushing attack

FFToday's Take: Schefter went on to say: "Denver now is expected to rely heavily on two running backs new to its offense: Veteran J.K. Dobbins & Rookie RJ Harvey." Dobbins has dealt with significant injuries during his career but this move leaves Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin on the outside looking in for touches during the 2025 season.
