Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton isn't ruling out a potential return from running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) later in the year, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Dobbins was previously ruled out for the rest of the season due to a foot injury, but if the Broncos make a deep postseason run, Dobbins might be able to return. For fantasy football purposes, managers in single-year leagues can dump Dobbins to the waiver wire if they haven't already done so, since he won't be able to help them before the end of the year. Denver will move forward with rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey as their primary backfield option with Dobbins out, but Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie will also be involved in change-of-pace roles. Harvey will have RB2 upside the rest of the way, while McLaughlin and Badie are simply bench stashes in deeper fantasy leagues.

Dynasty | The Broncos have placed running back JK Dobbins on injured reserve. Dynasty Analysis: Dobbins has a foot injury that will reportedly require surgery. If that's indeed the case, this has major implications in dynasty leagues. Dobbins himself was a weekly starter and now hits free agency as a very effective runner but one that still has injury concerns. It also opens the door for RJ Harvey to burst on the scene and become a league winning fantasy force down the stretch. Dobbins' ADP will fall and Harvey's is on the rise.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) has a "significant" foot injury that will require season-ending surgery, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dobbins suffered the injury in Week 10 and had already been ruled out for Denver's Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he will now be placed on Injured Reserve. It's an unfortunate development for the oft-injured 26-year-old, who was having a solid season in his first year in Denver. Through 10 games, Dobbins had recorded 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 153 carries. With Dobbins sidelined, Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey profiles as the team's RB1 for Week 11 and beyond. Fellow backs Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin could also factor in Denver, but neither profiles as a true threat to surpass Harvey.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) will be out on Sunday against the divisional-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 with a significant foot injury and is believed to be out for the "foreseeable future," according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Dobbins is still working through his options, but there has been no final determination, and he's still a candidate to land on Injured Reserve. The 26-year-old injured his foot in the Thursday night win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10 and is now set to miss multiple weeks. If he's forced to IR, he'd be out for at least four games. It's a serious blow to Denver's backfield, as Dobbins currently leads the team with 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 153 attempts over his 10 games. Keep him stashed in all fantasy leagues for now, but if he goes on IR, there's a chance he may not contribute much, if at all, the rest of the regular season. RJ Harvey will operate as the Broncos' RB1 for the foreseeable future, making him a must-roster in all leagues.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) was held out of practice again on Thursday as he battles a foot injury he suffered in Week 10. The 26-year-old appears to be in serious jeopardy of missing his team's crucial Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, and earlier reporting has indicated that Dobbins may even be a candidate to be placed on Injured Reserve. Across 10 games this season, Dobbins has recorded 153 carries for 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns. If he is unable to play in Week 11, rookie running back RJ Harvey profiles as Denver's clear lead back, with Tyler Badie mixing in on passing downs as well. Dobbins' official status for Sunday won't be decided until later in the week, but fantasy managers would be wise to proceed as though he will not play in Week 11

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday, according to 9 News' Mike Klis. When asked if the team is still deciding whether Dobbins will go on Injured Reserve, head coach Sean Payton said, "Nothing has been decided yet. At some point, there will be more clarity." Dobbins injured his foot late in last Thursday's 10-7 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. If he goes on IR, he would be forced to miss at least four games, which obviously would be a significant domino in Denver's backfield. At the very least, the 30-year-old is unlikely to play in a huge divisional clash this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, lining up rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey for clear lead-back duties for the first time in his NFL career. In his first year in Denver, Dobbins has been solid for the Broncos, gaining 772 yards on the ground and scoring four times on 153 rushing attempts. An extended absence from Dobbins would be a significant blow to an already struggling Broncos offense.

The Denver Broncos are considering what to do with injured running back J.K. Dobbins (foot), and placing him on Injured Reserve is a possibility, sources told Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Dobbins is getting additional medical opinions after injuring his foot late in last Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Before getting hurt in Week 10, the 26-year-old had 18 rushing attempts for 77 yards while catching his only target for seven yards. Rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey is already rostered in 83% of Yahoo leagues, so he probably isn't available, but Tyler Badie might be worth a look in deeper leagues if Harvey ends up missing extended time. If Dobbins is forced to IR, he'd miss at least four games. In his first year in Denver, Dobbins has operated as the team's lead back with 153 carries for 772 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and four touchdowns in 10 games. However, Harvey has taken on a bigger role in recent weeks.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) briefly left Thursday night's win over the Raiders after having his foot pinned awkwardly beneath a defender's body during a third-quarter rush attempt. While he was able to return to the game, Dobbins and the team are now awaiting a second opinion to determine the severity of the foot injury. Dobbins has been a workhorse for the Broncos all season long, and in a game bereft of offensive highlights, he still managed a respectable 77 yards on 18 carries. Dobbins will now benefit from the post-TNF mini-bye before a Week 11 matchup with the Chiefs, and then the team's actual Week 12 Bye. If Dobbins is forced to miss time, RJ Harvey becomes the obvious next-man-up. However, having topped seven carries only once this season, there should also be an expectation for Tyler Badie and/or Jaleel McLaughlin to see an expanded role.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins fought through some pain in the second half as he paced the backfield with touches again, showing great patience and swift cuts in Thursday's 10-7 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in their primetime matchup. With 18 rush attempts on the night, Dobbins worked hard for his 77 yards against a Raiders defense that certainly came to play. Dobbins added one catch for seven yards on a night where quarterback Bo Nix struggled to produce much for the offense. The veteran out-touched running back mate RJ Harvey 19-6 is encouraging for his control in the offense, but notably, Harvey did steal a red-zone possession from Dobbins. Still looking to end the touchdown drought, Dobbins should maintain his healthy floor on a volume basis alone and is an RB2 in Week 11's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has still been the king of the backfield through nine weeks from a touch standpoint, but he will strive to get back in the end zone for the first time since Week 5 as he faces the Las Vegas Raiders at home on Thursday night. At first glance, averaging 77.2 rushing yards per game would sound like a no-brainer RB1 statistic. However, the presence of running back RJ Harvey has certainly been a threat to Dobbins' scoring opportunities. Harvey has now outscored Dobbins on the season with six total touchdowns to four, with five of them coming within the past three games. With Dobbins' healthy floor, thanks to currently accounting for the fifth most rushing yards in the league, he is RotoBaller's 13th-ranked running back for Week 10.

Broncos' RB J.K. Dobbins ran for 111 yards on 15 carries but no touchdowns in Sunday's win against the Cowboys.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins rushes 14 times for 81 yards while losing a yard on one catch on the day as the Broncos exploded in the fourth quarter, scoring 33 points in Sunday's 33-32 comeback win against the New York Giants. Dobbins has been able to showcase solid production for the Broncos' rushing attack despite lacking a touchdown in the past couple of weeks. Rookie running back RJ Harvey was getting more work than usual early on in the game, but Dobbins stepped in to give the Broncos some sparks as the game went on, and he would eventually out-carry Harvey 14-4 on the day. In what could be a Week 8 shootout as the Broncos face the Dallas Cowboys at home, Dobbins should continue to provide RB2 value with upside.

Dynasty | Broncos running back JK Dobbins rushed for 40 yards and failed to catch his lone target in a win against the Jets in London. Dynasty Analysis: Everyone has a bad day here and there and that's likely all this is for Dobbins, who joined the rest of a Broncos offense that was stuck in mud most of the day. The good news is RJ Harvey still only had six touches and doesn't look like a player who is much of a threat to his playing time any time soon. Dobbins remains a solid target for dynasty contenders who may want to take advantage of his bad week.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has "been fantastic," according to Broncos head coach Sean Payton. The 26-year-old is in his first year with the team and has gotten off to a fast start to the season, rushing for 402 yards and four touchdowns on 77 carries through five games. Dobbins does not offer much as a receiver (six total receptions), but he's been the clear lead rusher in a Broncos backfield that also features RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie. Health has always been a question mark for Dobbins, as he had played in just 22 games over his previous three seasons coming into 2025. However, if he stays healthy, it does not appear he's in any danger of losing his current role in Denver. Dobbins profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 6 against the New York Jets.
