News: 5 days agoDobbs (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Seattle and will be San Francisco's emergency third quarterback, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Dobbs hasn't yet been active for a game this season with Brandon Allen working as Brock Purdy's backup. In order for Dobbs to get into Sunday's game against the Seahawks, both Purdy and Allen would need to be ruled out due to injury, illness or ejection.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: No one has logged more airline miles than Dobbs the past two years. After signing in some capacity with seven different teams over 24 months, the 29-year-old has an opportunity to work behind Brock Purdy this fall. Dobbs' most elating efforts came between Weeks 7 and 11 of 2023 wherein the Tennessee product scored a rushing touchdown in five straight games and averaged 21.2 fantasy points over those contests. Noting Kyle Shanahan's position-friendly scheme and the 49ers' elite pass-catching talent, Dobbs could find himself on the streaming radar if Purdy were to be sidelined.
