Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that running back J.K. Dobbins' transition to the offense has been "swift." It appears that the Broncos' decision to sign Dobbins in early June so that he could enter the offseason break with the playbook was a good move. Dobbins is going to share the backfield with rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey in his first year in Denver, but so far in training camp, the 26-year-old former Raven has seen most of the work with the first-team offense. Harvey could easily take over the early-down role for the Broncos sooner than later in 2025, but if Dobbins can stay healthy, he should be in play in PPR fantasy leagues as an RB3/flex option. Dobbins played in just nine games from 2021-23 due to injuries and also missed four games in 2024 with the Chargers due to an MCL sprain, so the lengthy injury history is certainly concerning.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue has impressed the coaching staff early in training camp despite the fact that veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders have been given the majority of snaps with the first-team offense, writes K.D. Drummond of Cowboys Wire. Blue, who was taken in the fifth round of this year's draft, was impressive in pads over the weekend seems to have dispelled a recent report that a former coach labeled the 21-year-old as "borderline lazy." The 5-foot-9, 196-pounder doesn't really have the size to be a bell-cow back between the tackles, but there is room for growth in a Dallas backfield that could be a full on committee approach in 2025. Blue is still going to need to prove himself, but he could end up seeing decent playing time as a pass-catching option out of the backfield for Dallas.
