The Los Angeles Chargers will face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB J.K. Dobbins.
Is J.K. Dobbins Playing in Week 12?
Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins was given a rest day on Friday. He is not injured.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chargers’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit J.K. Dobbins in Week 12?
Four players this season have four games in which they did all of the following: scored a rushing touchdown, caught a pass, and averaged 5.0 yards per carry. Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Jahmyr Gibbs, and J.K. Dobbins all have four such games.
Not too shabby.
The game-winning touchdown last week was encouraging, but it does seem like Jim Harbaugh wants to put his fate in the hands of Justin Herbert (three straight games with no more than 15 carries for Dobbins), and with Gus Edwards healthy, this run game could fall by the wayside at the wrong time.
We’ve seen a floor present itself with Dobbins having four finishes outside of the top 25, and a fifth is very possible in this matchup against the top rush defense by EPA. He currently sits as my RB24 this week with the hope being that the overall success of this offense can put Dobbins in a position to produce viable numbers, even if inefficiently.
