Lead-back role if healthy, but injury-prone history warrants late-round caution.
J.K. DobbinsRBDEN
Despite a perennial injury history (ACL tear, setback, Achilles tear, Lisfranc midfoot fracture), Dobbins was extended and given more money by Denver this offseason, signaling the team's confidence. Sean Payton clearly preferred him as an early-down runner over other backfield options. If healthy for week 1, Dobbins is the lead back until injury strikes again. The source notes the Lisfranc fracture is more bone than ligament and is not overly worried despite Dobbins' injury history. The source views him as a sneaky late-round play with the caveat that he's injury-prone and likely to need a plan B mid-season.

I'm not overly worried about this... I think Dobbins is kind of a sneaky play.
