In Baltimore, fans are looking forward to a potential resurgence from running back J.K. Dobbins in the upcoming Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. After a disappointing outing in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals, where he managed just 9.6 PPR points from 17 touches, Dobbins is expected to hit his stride this week.
Dobbins had a tough time finding space last week, finishing with 14 carries for 40 yards and three catches for 26 yards. Despite those numbers, it’s encouraging that he has consistently seen at least 17 total touches in five straight games which indicates he is an integral part of the Ravens’ offensive game plan.
This week, all eyes will be on Dobbins as he faces the Saints, who have struggled against opposing running backs, ranking as the No. 5 team in most Fantasy points allowed in the league. In their last two games, three running backs – Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker, and Javonte Williams – each scored at least 18.5 PPR points against New Orleans, presenting a golden opportunity for Dobbins to exploit similar weaknesses.
Fans and fantasy managers alike are optimistic about Dobbins potentially bouncing back with a much stronger performance this week. Everyone is encouraged to keep him in their lineup as he might just deliver the standout game they’ve been hoping for. Overall, the anticipation builds as Baltimore prepares to face New Orleans, and many are counting on Dobbins to make a significant impact.
