Latest takes

J.K. Dobbins
  • Of all the Broncos running backs, I prefer J.K. Dobbins

  • I’m well aware of the Dobbins reputation at this point: he hasn’t played a full season in his career, and missed at least four games in each of the last five seasons. But, at some point, he is going to play a full seventeen games. And when he does, it will be incredible. Last season, he performed admirably in Sean Payton’s system, posting 15 carries for 77 yards per game (5.0 yards per attempt) while kicking in a catch per game, on just over 50% of snaps.

    Jeff Krisko· Jul 26
  • Before he was forced to the sidelines with an injury, Dobbins averaged 16 touches and 81 yards per game, as well as five yards per attempt, subverting what many thought would be an RJ Harvey takeover year.

    Ryan Kirksey· Jul 24

  • Jonah Coleman will serve as the backup to J.K. Dobbins and step in as Denver's early-down ball carrier when Dobbins inevitably misses some time due to injury.

  • The team obviously values Dobbins, who has been excellent for the Broncos when on the field. Back in March, they extended him for two more years, guaranteeing him $8 million and including incentives that could push the contract's maximum value to $20 million.

    Kyle Lesti· Jun 18
  • Dobbins, when healthy, is one of the better backs in the league, but unfortunately, injuries continue to sideline ol' J.K. He missed seven games last season, four the year before that, and the entirety of both the 2023 and 2021 seasons.

  • Dobbins is coming back on a two-year $20 million contract.

  • Dobbins, though, might be the NFL's most injury-prone active player. The former Ravens second-round pick has missed a staggering 54 regular-season games in six seasons.

    Sam Robinson· Jul 3
  • "You can't find many people with higher average [per carry] then me," Dobbins said of his injury history. "This is going to be the best year, all 17 [games]. I've had three major injuries, one took me two years to recover from and was one not a lot of people come back from."

  • Despite selecting running backs on the second day of the past two drafts, the Broncos and HC Sean Payton opted to bring back injury-prone RB J.K. Dobbins, who continues to dominate when healthy. "Dobbins was a priority, ahead of all others," Payton said.

  • Despite re-signing J.K. Dobbins and restricted free agent Jaleel McLaughlin and having spent a second-round pick on RJ Harvey last year, the Broncos are doing research on the draft's offerings at the position.

    Ely Allen· Mar 21
Trevor Lawrence
  • The Jaguars quarterback came close to finishing as fantasy’s best signal-caller last season in just his first year with Liam Coen. From Week 5 onward, Trevor Lawrence outscored all other players at every single position (23 PPG).

  • Parker Washington (WR – JAC) “At one point, Parker Washington was seen as the heir apparent to Christian Kirk in a Trevor Lawrence -led offense.

  • Trevor Lawrence (JAC) As the 2025 regular season reached its conclusion, Trevor Lawrence was playing the best football of his five-year NFL career under first-year Jaguars head coach Liam Coen.

  • Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAX) outscored every player at every position in fantasy points per game from week five onward last year.

  • Lawrence also had his best season as a runner, establishing career highs in attempts (82), yards (359) and touchdowns (nine). It took Lawrence a while to fully arrive, but with Coen’s help, the splendidly long-haired quarterback has finally become a top-10 quarterback. There’s high-end QB1 potential here — as we saw late last season — and yet Lawrence is being drafted as a low-end QB1, according to average draft position (ADP).

  • Stafford was the QB22 and finished as the QB2, and Lawrence was the QB19 and finished as the QB4. Now they are both back in the bakery because apparently one elite season was not enough to convince fantasy managers.

  • TreVeyon Henderson, Trevor Lawrence, Jaxson Dart – 9 T6

  • There’s high-end QB1 potential here — as we saw late last season — and yet Lawrence is being drafted as a low-end QB1, according to average draft position (ADP).

  • Only four quarterbacks last season bested their overall scoring ranking compared to ADP by more than five spots: Matthew Stafford (QB23 in ADP and QB3 in overall scoring output), Trevor Lawrence (QB20 in ADP), Drake Maye (QB16), and Caleb Williams (QB15).

    Rich Hribar· Aug 5
  • Round 2: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR – SEA) I do have a Superflex spot, so another quarterback will definitely be on the roster, but I preferred Jaxon Smith-Njigba over Trevor Lawrence , Jaxson Dart , Brock Purdy and the other available quarterbacks.

  • The FantasyPros Expert Consensus Rankings have Trevor Lawrence , Dak Prescott , and Brock Purdy as low-end QB1s. I’d happily take any of those three as my starting quarterback.

  • Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAC) After years of failing to live up to hype, Lawrence had an outstanding 2025 season with Liam Coen taking over on the sidelines.

    Mike Fanelli· Jul 28
  • However, fantasy players have seen Lawrence have a breakout year only to regress the following season.

    Mike Fanelli· Jul 28
  • Trevor Lawrence was the fantasy QB4 last season. Travis Etienne Jr. is gone, but Lawrence still has plenty of weapons to work with, including Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr. and Brenton Strange.

  • The other thing working in Tuten’s favor is the likely regression of Trevor Lawrence ‘s rushing touchdowns. Lawrence scored nine touchdowns on just 82 rushing attempts, a staggering score for every nine times he took off with his legs.
