Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole J.K. Dobbins fantasy football thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. First off, I started by checking out what the general vibe was around him. You know, just casually browsing through some forums and seeing what other fantasy players were saying.
Then I got a bit more serious. I started looking at his stats from last season, game by game. How many yards he got, how many touchdowns, how many touches…the whole shebang. I gotta say, those numbers gave me a good foundation.
After that, I tried to figure out what changed for him this year. New teammates? New coaches? Injuries? All that good stuff. This part was kind of tricky, you know, piecing together information from different places. There was a bit of a rumor about this, and another one about that.
Then came the real work. I made this whole spreadsheet. Yeah, I know, sounds nerdy. But I put in all his stats, compared them to other running backs, and tried to make some projections. I played around with different scenarios, like, “What if he gets this many more carries?” or “What if this other guy takes some of his touches?”
- His injury history – gotta factor that in.
- The Ravens’ offense – how much do they run the ball?
- His competition – who else is fighting for touches?
These are the key notes I took down:
Honestly, after all this, I still have mixed feelings. I mean, the guy is good, no doubt. But there are so many things that can change in a season. I even tried simulating a few games in my head. Seriously. I just sat there, imagining different plays and how he would do.
In the end, I think I got a better idea of what to expect from Dobbins, but it’s still fantasy football. Anything can happen. I’ve learned a lot doing this, I will say that. Especially, spreadsheets are a lifesaver. But for now, I just wait and see. Maybe I’ll change my mind completely after week one. Who knows.
