2024 Fantasy Outlook
Arguably no player has been handed worse injury luck than Dobbins the last three years. His 2021 ended in the preseason with a gruesome multi-ligament knee injury, one that lingered into the 2022 season and required an in-season arthroscopic surgery. Dobbins then came back strong late in 2022 and won his starting job back, only to suffer a torn Achilles' tendon Week 1 of 2023, just in time for him to enter free agency. The Chargers gave Dobbins a one-year contract, reuniting him with former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman (now in the same role under Jim Harbaugh). Roman will also have Gus Edwards in his backfield again, with the 29-year-old coming off a career-high 13 TDs in Baltimore last season. Dobbins was the more explosive runner for the Ravens when both were healthy, but the track record of running backs coming back from Achilles' tears remains daunting, particularly in the first year after the injury. If Dobbins has lost a step or two, it could open the door for not only Edwards but also rookie sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal. Read Past Outlooks

Practicing in full pads
Dobbins (Achilles) is participating in the first day of Chargers training camp Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dobbins will avoid having to begin training camp on the PUP list, confirming that he's truly healthy after having suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Baltimore's regular-season opener in 2023. Whether Dobbins' effectiveness has been compromised by the injury remains to be determined, as the torn Achilles represents the most recent setback among the gauntlet of major injuries he's dealt with in his NFL career, which also include a torn ACL, a torn LCL and severe hamstring strain. Still, Dobbins' presence on the field to begin camp is a major point in his favor, and as long as he hasn't lost too much explosiveness, he could be set for a significant role alongside former Ravens teammate Gus Edwards in a familiar rushing scheme led by offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Injuries undid J.K. Dobbins in Baltimore, but he remains one of the NFL's most talented running backs and an overlooked presence with the Chargers.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Dobbins' season-ending knee injury from 2021 proved more complicated than your standard ACL tear, which is to be expected given that he also tore his LCL, meniscus and hamstring. It was a truly brutal injury, making it even more impressive that he was as effective as he was when he played in 2022. Dobbins looked mostly like his pre-injury self, averaging 5.7 yards per carry and peeling off four runs of 20-plus yards in just 92 attempts. Now with another offseason to recover, Dobbins will hopefully be at true full force for a contract year. A fully healthy, fully enabled Dobbins could post explosive rushing numbers, and new offensive coordinator Todd Monken is likely an upgrade over predecessor Greg Roman. As a coordinator who mostly traffics in good ideas, expect Monken to recognize Dobbins as one of his best players. It's possible a Lamar Jackson absence would mark a setback of some kind for Dobbins, namely to his per-carry efficiency, but he's the type of talent who will produce no matter what if he's on the field. Gus Edwards remains on the team as a competent between-the-tackles specialist, but he accepted a paycut to stay around and was a better fit for Roman's run-heavy offense. Dobbins is unchallenged as the lead back and should have more pass-catching opportunities in the new scheme.

Healthy to begin training camp
Dobbins practiced without limitations as the Chargers opened training camp Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dobbins has achieved his goal of being ready for training camp, having completed his recovery from a torn Achilles' tendon suffered in Week 1 of last season. He has a lengthy injury history, including a torn ACL along with the aforementioned Achilles tear, but Dobbins has been effective when healthy, boasting a career average of 5.8 yards per carry on 234 regular-season rushing attempts. If Dobbins manages to stave off injuries in 2024, he'll have a chance to carve out a sizable role in a Chargers backfield that includes former Ravens teammate Gus Edwards and rookie sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal.
