There was a time that Dobbins looked like a future star, averaging 6.0 yards per carry as a rookie. That time may have passed. The former Buckeye has been absolutely ravaged by injuries, logging only nine games during the past three seasons combined. Last year, it was a torn Achilles' tendon in Week 1 that brought his campaign to an abrupt close after just eight carries. Prior to that, a torn ACL cost him all of 2021 and then required a clean-up procedure, dogging him throughout 2022.
When he entered the league, Dobbins looked like a top-tier back, displaying a dangerous blend of speed and power. He claims to be fully recovered from his most recent setback, though following two major injuries it remains to be seen how much burst remains. Dobbins has the higher ceiling -- his 5.8 yards-per-carry average is league's best among players with 200 or more carries since he entered the NFL -- but the downside is considerable. As your RB4, maybe he's worth the risk.

 J.K. Dobbins activated, set to play in Week 17
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 27, 3:42 pm
| | The #Chargers are activating RB J.K. Dobbins from IR and he’ll make his return Saturday against the #Patriots, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
One of the NFL’s most efficient backs, Dobbins is averaging 4.8 yards per carry this season. A big boost for L.A.’s stretch run. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Dobbins hasn't played since Week 12 when he sustained a knee injury. Regardless, he'll likely jump back into the lead back role for the Chargers now that Gus Edwards (ankle) is Out. Dobbins profiles as an RB2 in Week 17.
| Gus Edwards Out for Week 17
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Dec 26, 2:35 pm
| | #Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) is out for Saturday vs. New England. RB J.K. Dobbins is questionable. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: The Chargers face off with the Patriots on Saturday. Dobbins just had his 21-day practice window opened this week and got in three limited practices. If he's activated off IR, he'll likely get the start and handle the bulk of work at the RB position with Kimani Vidal mixing in.
