2023 Fantasy Outlook
Dobbs spent the preseason and much of the regular season with the Browns in 2022, so he's familiar with the surroundings. The 28-year-old left in November to join the Titans' active roster and started two games at the end of the season. Part of the motivation in having Dobbs around is his relationship with starting quarterback Deshaun Watson. The two regularly train together in Atlanta during offseasons. Both are dual-threat quarterbacks, but Dobbs doesn't have an arm like Watson. 2023 fifth-round pick Dorian Thompson-Robinson has a similar skill set and could challenge to become Watson's backup.

The Browns and Dobbs agreed to terms on a one-year contract Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Dobbs served as Cleveland's backup quarterback to Jacoby Brissett during Deshaun Watson's 11-game suspension to begin last season. But the team cut Dobbs to make room on the roster for Watson in late November, and he eventually followed a stint on the Lions' practice squad with another on the Titans' active roster. With the latter, Dobbs started over rookie Malik Willis in Weeks 17 and 18, completing 40 of 68 passes (58.8 percent) for 411 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing eight times for 44 yards. Now that he's back with the Browns, he'll serve as the No. 2 QB behind Watson with Brissett having moved on to the Commanders in free agency.

With Deshaun Watson in line to be suspended for the first 11 games of the season, either Dobbs or Josh Rosen are in line to handle the Browns' No. 2 QB duties behind Jacoby Brissett.
Dobbs has appeared in just seven games across his three seasons in the NFL, and he's completed 10 of his 17 passes for 45 yards and an interception. The 2017 fourth-rounder played in Pittsburgh's Week 17 matchup last season, but he'll face an uphill climb to secure a spot on the 53-man roster while competing with Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins in camp.
The 2017 fourth-rounder saw his first regular-season duty last season, but Dobbs remains entrenched as a backup for the Steelers, with Ben Roethlisberger having signed a two-year contract extension during the offseason. Dobbs enters training camp second on the team's depth chart, but for that slotting to stick, he'll have fend off second-year man Mason Rudolph.
Considered the possible quarterback of the future when he was selected in the fourth round of the 2017 draft, Dobbs never saw a regular-season snap for the Steelers as a rookie. Stuck behind Landry Jones, Dobbs now faces additional competition from Mason Rudolph, taken in the third round this year. It seems likely that either Dobbs or Jones will not make the roster coming out of camp this season.
The 6-3, 216 pound QB is a great athlete who also possesses tremendous smarts. As a result, Dobbs has the tools to make for an interesting developmental project behind Ben Roethlisberger. While his downfield accuracy was quite strong by the end of his Tennessee career, Dobbs never showed the natural ability to read defenses that you'd like to see in a quarterback. If his experiment at quarterback doesn't go well, Dobbs has the athleticism to transition to receiver. For now, he's slated for No. 3 QB duties in 2017 behind longtime Roethlisberger and backup Landry Jones, who has served in the Steelers' No. 2 role for each of the past two seasons and was signed to a two-year extension before the NFL draft.
