J.K. Dobbins News
Thursday, October 1, 8:59 PM
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins is a rare case of a ball-carrier to avoid despite having a large role in a prominent offense. Dobbins has yet to play more than half the snaps in a single game this season, and despite logging 17 carries in Week 3, he has yet to score a touchdown. Furthermore, 35 of his 36 touches this season have been rushing attempts, indicating that he is somewhat of an afterthought on passing downs. That shouldn't come as a huge surprise, given that teammate RJ Harvey is a pass-catching specialist and has been pushing for more touches. In fact, Harvey is averaging five catches per game this season out of the backfield. With no additional upside in PPR and a minimal role around the goal line, Dobbins is no longer a viable starter in fantasy football. He's a fine bench stash in deeper leagues, but if he can't produce a significant fantasy outing on 17 carries, we're not sure what it would take for him to get on the fantasy radar.

Jeremiyah Love News
Thursday, October 1, 5:35 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love was not listed on his team's Thursday injury report after reportedly being slow to get up after a rep in practice. While it's not entirely clear what happened to Love, it's obviously a positive sign for fantasy managers that the rookie appears to have avoided a serious injury. Across the first three games of his NFL career, the 21-year-old has recorded 204 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 51 touches. After splitting work with veteran Cardinals back Tyler Allgeier in the first two weeks of the season, Love emerged as the clear lead back in Week 3 by logging 109 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 26 touches against the San Francisco 49ers. Assuming he's healthy and ready to go, Love profiles as an RB1 option for fantasy managers in Week 4 against the New York Giants.
