J.K. Dobbins Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He didn't practice all week, and it's unclear if he'll miss more time beyond Week 7. Dobbins' absence leaves Baltimore with RBs Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill and Mike Davis. Drake is the best bet to lead a committee attack and is in the RB3 mix.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) missed practice again on Thursday. It looks like he's in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Browns, which would leave Baltimore's backfield to RBs Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. His surgically repaired knee "tightened up" during last week's loss to the Giants, HC John Harbaugh said. We're not sure if that qualifies as a setback, but Dobbins' availability for this weekend's game vs. the Browns seems up in the air. His absence would leave the backfield to Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill, who put in a full practice on Wednesday with his hamstring injury.

Ravens RB Kenyan Drake took his team-high 10 carries for 119 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants, highlighted by a 30-yard TD run. Drake garnered some extra work because RB J.K. Dobbins' repaired knee "tightened up," keeping him from playing the 2nd half. We'll see whether that issue affects Dobbins' availability for Week 7.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins didn't play in the 2nd half of Sunday's loss to the Giants because his knee "tightened up," HC John Harbaugh said afterward. Harbaugh added the MetLife Stadium turf might have been the culprit. Dobbins has been clearly limited in his 4 games since returning from last year's multi-ligament knee injury. We'll monitor his practice participation this coming week, but he'll be a risky Week 7 fantasy play. Baltimore's bye isn't until Week 10.

Ravens RB Justice Hill (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Giants. It’ll be J.K. Dobbins and Kenyan Drake as Baltimore’s top 2 RBs.

Ravens RB Justice Hill (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. It looks like it’ll be J.K. Dobbins and Kenyan Drake in Baltimore’s backfield again this weekend.

Ravens beat writer Jeff Zrebiec believes RB J.K. Dobbins “took another step closer to his pre-injury form” in Week 5. Still on a snap count, Dobbins didn’t light up the box score, rushing 8 times for 44 yards. But he gained approval from HC John Harbaugh. “Nothing we didn’t like,” Harbaugh said regarding Dobbins’ limited late-game usage. “I thought he had his best game. He’s getting better every week. I thought he took a jump last week in practice and this week in the game. The (run) for the first down to the left side was spectacular. He was hit in the backfield and ended up getting the first down, broke about five tackles.” Dobbins will face the Giants in Week 6.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins took a step back in Week 5 with 8 carries for 44 yards. He didn’t draw a target in the passing game, despite 32 Lamar Jackson passes and an inactive Rashod Bateman. Plus, even in a close game throughout, he played only 40% of the snaps a week after handling 50% against Buffalo. Of course, we’re still only 3 games into Dobbins’ season following the 2021 ACL tear. We’ll continue to track his workload closely. Next up is a road matchup with the Giants.

Ravens RB Justice Hill (hamstring) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bengals. RBs Mike Davis and Kenyan Drake figure to be active for that one, but neither is on the fantasy radar. RB J.K. Dobbins’ role should continue growing after his snap and carry shares climbed from Week 3 to Week 4.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said RB Justice Hill's hamstring injury is not long-term but that he will miss time. We'll keep an eye on Hill this week, but expect him to miss Sunday night's game vs. the Bengals. That could push Baltimore to give RB J.K. Dobbins a bigger piece of the backfield pie

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins led Sunday's backfield in the loss to Buffalo, collecting 13 carries and 4 targets. Dobbins delivered both of the team's TDs, running 1 in from 4 yards out and catching Lamar Jackson's lone TD pass from 1 yard out. Dobbins averaged just 3.2 yards across his 13 rushes, though, and 5.5 yards on his 4 receptions. Nearly all of his 22 receiving yards came on a single 20-yard reception. Justice Hill handled another 8 carries and 2 targets but left early with a hamstring injury. We'll see about Hill's status for Week 5, as well as whether Gus Edwards is ready to come off the PUP list.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins made his season debut in Sunday's win over the Patriots, totaling 40 yards on 9 touches. Dobbins trailed only QB Lamar Jackson in rushing attempts (7), gaining 23 yards. He added 17 via 2 receptions on his only 2 targets. Dobbins' playing time proved near-identical to Justice Hill's in all phases. We'd bet on that shifting more toward Dobbins as he moves further from the knee recovery. But Baltimore also figures to get RB Gus Edwards back on the field fairly soon. So don't be surprised if Dobbins spends the year sharing more work than you'd like him to. RB Kenyan Drake was a healthy scratch for Week 3. RB Mike Davis played 1 snap.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. It’s his first action since last August’s multi-ligament knee injury. RB Kenyan Drake is a healthy scratch, leaving RBs Justice Hill and Mike Davis behind Dobbins.
