J.K. Dobbins Faces Tough Matchup vs. 49ers

Saturday, October 3, 3:54 AM

After some tough sledding during a win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins faces another tough matchup in Week 4. The Broncos take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, a team that has limited its opponents to -0.13 EPA per rush, which is tied for 11th-best in the NFL. This past week, Dobbins managed just 49 yards rushing on 17 carries against the Rams, adding one catch for four yards on two targets. The 49ers allowed Arizona Cardinals starting running back Jeremiyah Love to record 90 yards rushing on 21 carries in Week 3, but held the Cardinals as a team to just 3.4 yards per tote. Dobbins is RotoBaller's 30th-ranked running back and is projected to score nine fantasy points against San Francisco.

Tyjae Spears Expected to Play Sunday Despite Ankle Injury

Sunday, October 4, 6:48 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Spears is officially listed as questionable but has been trending in the right direction after practicing in full on Friday. The 25-year-old has remained a non-factor in fantasy football this year due to the state of the Titans' offense and his role behind Tony Pollard. Through three games, he ranks as the overall RB49 in PPR leagues with 58 rushing yards and 41 receiving yards. Even Spears' well-known pass-catching profile seems to have declined, as he has been limited to a modest (by his standards) four catches on six targets this season. He should still be rostered in 12+ team leagues, but there's no reason to start him in fantasy lineups at this point.
