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.

Broncos re-sign RB J.K. Dobbins
Two-year deal

Dobbins was having a career year for Denver before his injury -- and would’ve been back for the Super Bowl if Denver made it that far. Now he’s back. (Jordan Schultz on X)
FFToday's Take: The Broncos were rumored to be interested in Kenneth Walker and Travis Etienne, but will settle for Dobbins (27) who was playing well (5.0 ypc) in 2025 before missing seven games due to a foot injury. With Dobbins back in the mix, you can expect RJ Harvey's fantasy value to take a hit as he'll likely cede early-down work to Dobbins. Harvey's biggest value add will come in PPR leagues.
