J.K. Dobbins Envisions Himself As Elite Running Back
3 years agoHeading into the 2021 season, Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins will be the lead back in the most prolific rushing attack in the NFL. The Ravens' offensive coordinator Greg Roman has made it known that he expects the Baltimore running backs to have an expanded role in the passing game this season. In an interview at training camp, Dobbins said "I want to be considered one of those top running backs in the league, so being a better receiver is one of the things I've got to do to be like an Alvin Kamara or a Christian McCaffrey." Dobbins could be in for a breakout season with a role as a pass-catcher, as he has a safe floor because of his spot on the depth chart in a high-volume rushing attack. As of now, he projects as a safe fantasy RB2 with a limited ceiling. This is because of quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Gus Edwards inevitably vulturing rushing attempts and touchdown opportunities.
