J.K. DobbinsRBDEN

JJ Zachariason expresses concern about Dobbins facing Denver's brutal early-season schedule (Chiefs, Jags, Rams, 49ers, Chargers, Seahawks)—five of six teams have win totals above 10. Dobbins played fewer than 15% of long down-and-distance snaps and fewer than 30% of two-minute snaps last year, making him vulnerable to negative game scripts. Zachariason is more out than in on Dobbins this year, preferring to wait on later-round alternatives like Jordan Mason or Chris Rodriguez.
