Dobbins led Denver's backfield last year, averaging 16.4 touches and 11.6 fantasy points per game, before a foot injury ended his season prematurely in Week 10, opening the door for other backs in Sean Payton's rotation.NegativeBustJul 29, 2026
Dobbins posted 11.6 fantasy PPG in 2025 but carries injury history concerns. Zachariason views him as touchdown-dependent with limited receiving upside, and with RJ Harvey (12.2 PPG) offering more pass-catching ability and rookie Jonah Coleman also drafted, Zachariason sees both Dobbins and Harvey topping out as lower-level flex options in a committee approach.NegativeBustJul 29, 2026

Dobbins projects as the Week 1 starter after clearly leading the Denver backfield when healthy last season, handling 153 carries to RJ Harvey's 50 in their 10 shared games while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. Denver returns all five O-line starters with Garett Bolles and Quinn Meinerz anchoring a group that showed well in pass protection and the run game last season, raising the floor for the entire offense.
