RotoWire NFL Articles on J.K. Dobbins
From the article
A torn ACL in 2021, a torn Achilles in 2023 and a Lisfranc fracture that ended his 2025 season in November add to three significant lower-body injuries in a six-year window. He has played in barely more than half of his possible career games.
STACKED’s take
Dobbins' injury history (ACL, Achilles, Lisfranc) and minimal receiving role make him a fade.
Dobbins carries the messiest injury paper trail on the list: torn ACL in 2021, torn Achilles in 2023, and a Lisfranc fracture that ended his 2025 season in November—three significant lower-body injuries in a six-year window with barely more than half of his possible career games played. He ran for 772 yards on 153 carries (5.0 yards per carry) with four touchdowns before the Lisfranc injury with elite rushing efficiency, but his receiving role is close to nonexistent (11 catches on 14 targets), capping his PPR floor. At 27, the accumulated wear is the alarm. Denver's decision to re-sign him and draft Jonah Coleman in the fourth round both hedge against exactly the outcome his history suggests. The source fades him at RB39 against a positional ADP of RB34, with RJ Harvey as the weekly beneficiary if Dobbins misses time again.
