Yahoo Sports NFL on J.K. Dobbins
From the article
In Coleman's return to action last Sunday, Dobbins played just 21.4% of the snaps, fewer than RJ Harvey (25.0%) and less than half of Coleman's share (50.0%). It's clear Denver wants to make Coleman its RB1 when healthy, which relegates Dobbins to touchdown-dependent, change-of-pace back.
STACKED’s take
Dobbins is touchdown-dependent with 21.4% snap share; Chiefs allow fifth-fewest rushing yards.
Dobbins has scored a touchdown in three straight games but is a major trap play for Week 8 and beyond. In five games without Jonah Coleman, Dobbins averaged 16 opportunities but just 52.2 scrimmage yards and 8.4 fantasy points per game, including a 3.6-point showing against the Chiefs in Week 1. In the two games Coleman has been active (Weeks 2 and 7), Dobbins totaled just 16 opportunities and 59 scrimmage yards; in Coleman's return last Sunday, Dobbins played just 21.4% of snaps, fewer than RJ Harvey (25.0%) and less than half of Coleman's share (50.0%). Denver clearly wants Coleman as its RB1 when healthy, relegating Dobbins to a touchdown-dependent, change-of-pace role. The Chiefs are a particularly bad matchup, allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game to RBs (73.7) and the second-lowest red-zone touchdown rate in the league (26.7%).
