Chargers running back JK Dobbins had 50 rushing yards, three catches and five receiving yards in a win against Tennessee.

Dynasty Analysis

Dobbins has had a great start to the year, but he shared the load with Gus Edwards today and that's going to be a major concern moving forward. If the Chargers make this more of a committee again, this could be a major problem moving forward for dynasty managers. Dobbins is going to be a sketchy play until we see how Los Angeles is going utilize these players moving forward.

Chargers running back JK Dobbins had 85 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a win against Cleveland.

Dynasty Analysis

Dobbins' comeback season continues as he now has 620 rushing yards and six touchdowns in just eight games. There have been numerous solid comeback stories this season, but this one may be the most surprising. Considering Dobbins may still not be back to 100%, his dynasty value is going to continue to rise as he's still just 25 years old.

Chargers running back JK Dobbins had 96 rushing yards and a touchdown in a win against Denver.

Dynasty Analysis

He added two catches for six yards. Dobbins was predictably busy in this one after Gus Edwards was put on IR this week. It's been a big-time bounce-back season for Dobbins, who had a season high 25 carries in this one. While he hasn't had a 100-yard game since the second week of the season, the thought Dobbins was going to be unable to return to his pre-injury form seem to have been put to rest. He'll be a solid RB2 moving forward and dynasty managers need to really look at him as a potential buy or sell depending on where they sit after six weeks.

Chargers running back JK Dobbins had 32 rushing yards, three catches, and 30 receiving yards in a loss against the Chiefs.

Dynasty Analysis

After posting a white-hot 266 rushing yards and two touchdowns over the first two weeks, Dobbins has now recorded just 76 rushing yards over the past two weeks. This is a frustrating development, but one that had to be expected facing the Steelers and Chiefs. Dobbins is likely going to be somewhere in the middle of his first two games and his last two games moving forward, so managers shouldn't panic too much. He remains a solid option moving forward and his dynasty value should remain stable this week.

Chargers running back JK Dobbins had 44 rushing yards, three catches and ten receiving yards in a loss against the Steelers.

Dynasty Analysis

While the scoring total for Dobbins today is disappointing, there is a big development hidden in the box score as Dobbins handled 18 touches while Gus Edwards had just three. At this point, it seems this is no longer a committee with the Chargers as Dobbins has simply taken over the backfield. This is a big development as Dobbins continues to be one of the biggest risers in terms of dynasty rankings over the first month of the season. In short, he finally looks healthy.

Chargers running back JK Dobbins had 131 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Chargers blowout road win against the Panthers.

Dynasty Analysis

Carolina looks like the worst team in the NFL, but this performance is still notable. After running for 135 yards last week, Dobbins proved to everyone he's truly back with another 130-yard game today. While he's still splitting carries with Gus Edwards. Dobbins' dynasty arrow is climbing back up and he looks like he's trending into must-start territory already this season.

Chargers running back JK Dobbins had 135 yards rushing and a touchdown in an opening day win against the Raiders.

Dynasty Analysis

It's hard not to smile after this performance as the oft-injured Dobbins looked as explosive as ever for the Chargers. He had a 61-yard gain at one point but still had around 70 yards on his other nine carries, making that far from a fluke. He's going to be part of what could be a frustrating timeshare with Gus Edwards but all the talk about Dobbins returning to form seem to be pretty accurate. Dobbins' dynasty arrow is pointing straight up.
