J.K. Dobbins Brought in to Provide Leadership

Thursday, August 14, 6:42 PM

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton promised that the team will have a "markedly different" running game in 2025 after they disappointed on the ground last year. Payton points to the upgrades with veteran running back J.K. Dobbins and rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey, with the two expecting to see the majority of the backfield touches this season. "We brought in leadership, with J.K., and we drafted Harvey early, and so you're going to see a difference," Payton said. Harvey was heavily involved in the preseason opener last Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers and has more big-play potential in an improving offense under Payton and second-year quarterback Bo Nix. At RotoBaller, Harvey is ranked as the RB25, with Dobbins checking in at RB35. Dobbins has the edge in experience, but he's also been very injury-prone in his NFL career.

NFL to Continue Their Investigation into Quinshon Judkins

Thursday, August 14, 5:11 PM

The NFL will continue their own investigation into Cleveland Brown rookie running back Quinshon Judkins despite the fact that the second-rounder isn't expected to face any formal charges for a domestic-violence incident that took place on July 12 in Florida, according to NFL Network's Mike Garofolo. "We have been following developments in the matter which remains under review," a league spokesman said. Because of the 21-year-old's off-the-field issues, the Browns have yet to sign him to his rookie deal, which means he hasn't practiced at all with the team in training camp. The fact that no formal charges have been filed is good news for Judkins, but it doesn't mean he won't face a suspension from the NFL, and he still may not be ready to play by Week 1 of the regular season. Judkins has fallen to an RB56 ranking at RotoBaller because of the uncertainty, while rookie Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford are primed to share the backfield for however long Judkins is away.
