Josh Dobbs Will Start Week 18

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that QB Josh Dobbs will start this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. QB Brock Purdy will miss the game with his right elbow injury, and San Francisco evidently saw enough of QB Brandon Allen earlier this year. Dobbs has flashed some fantasy upside in the past, most recently last year with the Cardinals and Vikings, finishing as a top-12 fantasy QB in six of his 12 full games. With rushing ability, a nice group of weapons, and a strong offensive scheme, Dobbs is an interesting play this week in superflex leagues and DFS.
