2024 Fantasy Outlook
Arguably no player has been handed worse injury luck than Dobbins the last three years. His 2021 ended in the preseason with a gruesome multi-ligament knee injury, one that lingered into the 2022 season and required an in-season arthroscopic surgery. Dobbins then came back strong late in 2022 and won his starting job back, only to suffer a torn Achilles' tendon Week 1 of 2023, just in time for him to enter free agency. The Chargers gave Dobbins a one-year contract, reuniting him with former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman (now in the same role under Jim Harbaugh). Roman will also have Gus Edwards in his backfield again, with the 29-year-old coming off a career-high 13 TDs in Baltimore last season. Dobbins was the more explosive runner for the Ravens when both were healthy, but the track record of running backs coming back from Achilles' tears remains daunting, particularly in the first year after the injury. If Dobbins has lost a step or two, it could open the door for not only Edwards but also rookie sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Two touchdowns in win
Dobbins registered 11 carries for 56 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner, in Sunday's 34-27 victory over the Bengals. He also caught his lone target for three yards.
ANALYSIS
Dobbins was bottled up until the team's final play, when the talented running back bounced an inside zone run far left for a 29-yard touchdown with the Bengals likely expecting the Chargers to sit on the ball for a cheap game-winning field goal as time expired. While the 25-year-old did score another touchdown earlier in the day to effectively secure a solid fantasy day, it's worth noting that score came only after Hassan Haskins was given two carries at the one yard line, failing to punch it in either time. Haskins also vultured a touchdown against his former team, the Titans, last week, and Gus Edwards once again saw a decent amount of snaps (six carries, 27 yards), so there appears to be a situational platoon backfield at play despite Haskins' ineffectiveness in particular.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Dobbins' season-ending knee injury from 2021 proved more complicated than your standard ACL tear, which is to be expected given that he also tore his LCL, meniscus and hamstring. It was a truly brutal injury, making it even more impressive that he was as effective as he was when he played in 2022. Dobbins looked mostly like his pre-injury self, averaging 5.7 yards per carry and peeling off four runs of 20-plus yards in just 92 attempts. Now with another offseason to recover, Dobbins will hopefully be at true full force for a contract year. A fully healthy, fully enabled Dobbins could post explosive rushing numbers, and new offensive coordinator Todd Monken is likely an upgrade over predecessor Greg Roman. As a coordinator who mostly traffics in good ideas, expect Monken to recognize Dobbins as one of his best players. It's possible a Lamar Jackson absence would mark a setback of some kind for Dobbins, namely to his per-carry efficiency, but he's the type of talent who will produce no matter what if he's on the field. Gus Edwards remains on the team as a competent between-the-tackles specialist, but he accepted a paycut to stay around and was a better fit for Roman's run-heavy offense. Dobbins is unchallenged as the lead back and should have more pass-catching opportunities in the new scheme.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Co-starter with Edwards
Dobbins and Gus Edwards are listed as a co-starters on the Chargers' unofficial Week 1 depth chart heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Dobbins has fully recovered from the Achilles tear he suffered in Week 1 of last season with the Ravens and is ready to play a prominent role in the Chargers' backfield. Edwards is better suited for inside runs and goal-line work, but Dobbins' superior speed and hands could earn the 25-year-old running back a prominent role out of the gate.
