Should You Start or Sit J.K. Dobbins in Week 5?
J.K. Dobbins has seen his rushing yardage improve each week and has three top 20 performances under his belt through four weeks.
I was out on Dobbins this summer, fearing the limited work in the pass game, the health track record, and the potential of RJ Harvey.
I’ve been wrong so far, but I do think I could win the war, despite losing the September battle.
The health thing is what it is: a 15-17 touch role is a lot to ask for from a player who has struggled to stay on the field for a half-decade now.
The passing game? Dobbins doesn’t yet have a multi-catch game and is averaging 4.5 receiving yards per game.
The rookie? Harvey is coming off of his best game of the season. Now, it came against the Bengals, and that’s important, but the confidence he gained and reps he put on tape for Sean Payton are also important.
Dobbins is a viable RB2 for now, and I expect that to be the case as long as he’s healthy: how long do you wait to cash in this chip?
