Four brutal lower-body injuries and no passing-down role limit Dobbins' ceiling.
J.K. DobbinsRBDEN
Dobbins presents a low-upside pick due to a pattern of four brutal lower-body injuries over recent seasons (blown-out knee, Achilles tear, sprained knee), creating injury recurrence risk. He doesn't play on passing downs, limiting his fantasy ceiling despite being only 27-28 years old. Among 50+ RBs with 50+ under-center runs in 2025, Dobbins ranked 10th in yards per carry and 2nd best in explosive run rate, suggesting he may benefit if Sean Payton emphasizes under-center running; however, injury history and role limitations make him the lowest upside play in the Broncos backfield for the long run.
