Dobbins handled 64.8% of backfield touches in Weeks 1-10, matching Payton's historical lead-back workload.

Dobbins was Denver's clear lead back through Week 10, handling 64.8% of backfield touches—a workload concentration that matches Sean Payton's historical baseline when he has an effective primary option. The source notes that in any given week, the Game-RB1 under Payton typically handles ~65% of touches, a pattern consistent across Payton's 12-year tenure. Dobbins' role was not a committee situation but rather a defined lead-back role that will likely resume once he returns from his Lisfranc injury.
