J.K.Dobbins

News: 2 days agoDobbins tallied 15 carries for 50 yards in a 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also caught all three of his targets for five yards.

Spin: Gus Edwards made his return after missing the previous four games with an ankle injury and immediately assumed his platoon role with Dobbins, finishing the day with 10 carries for 55 yards. To make matters worse for Dobbins' fantasy managers, the Chargers appeared to do the former Titan running back, Hassan Haskins, a solid by giving him a cursory one-yard touchdown plunge after Dobbins carried the ball four times for 19 yards and even saw a target on the 95-yard touchdown drive that effectively iced the game. There should be plenty more opportunities for an offensive explosion next week when the Chargers take on the Bengals' woeful defense.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Dobbins is another piece brought to Los Angeles as the Chargers assembled a sort of "Ravens West." Dobbins should compete with Gus Edwards, Isaiah Spiller and rookie Kimani Vidal in what's sure to be a heavily utilized running back corps. Dobbins is the ultimate risk/reward pickup. In 13 career games with double-digit carries, his 6.2 YPC and nine rushing touchdowns underscore his upside, but his 43 absences in 67 NFL contests serve as a reminder of his propensity for injury. Dobbins did his best work in Baltimore under Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator with whom he is now reunited, so monitor Dobbins' preseason and be prepared to pounce on him as a late-round value pick if he's looking good.
