BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: J.K. Dobbins should still be considered a solid RB2 option this week as the Chargers face the Denver Broncos, despite his recent dip in production.
After a red-hot start to the season, where he ran for over 130 yards in each of the first two weeks, Dobbins has cooled off significantly, managing only 76 yards on 29 carries over the past two games.
However, Dobbins' talent and workload remain intact, as he's still the primary ball-carrier in the Chargers' offense. His guaranteed touches, even during less productive outings, make him a steady option for fantasy managers, particularly in a matchup against a Broncos defense that has been inconsistent this year.

- Ken Walker and Bucky Irving have looked like the best in the league
- James Conner is definitely not washed

What keeps Dobbins in the RB2 conversation is his receiving upside, which adds to his fantasy value in PPR leagues. Even if his rushing efficiency has dipped, the Chargers have shown a willingness to involve him in the passing game, creating additional opportunities for him to produce.
Given his role in both the ground and air attack, Dobbins offers a relatively safe floor in fantasy, with the potential for a bounce-back performance against a Denver team that has struggled to contain running backs at times.
His workload and versatility should give him enough opportunities to deliver a solid fantasy outing, keeping him firmly in the RB2 tier for Week 6.

Should I Trade Tyreek Hill? Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) has easily been one of the worst fantasy football draft picks of 2024. For a variety of reasons, he's just the WR30 in full-PPR scoring so far in 2024, which seems insane, considering that he's finished as the WR2, WR6, WR2, and WR2 over his last four seasons. […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Formats POSITIONAL VALUE: WR7 ANALYSIS: It looks like the Kansas City Chiefs will have JuJu Smith-Schuster back from his hamstring injury this week, but that doesn't mean fantasy managers need to run out and throw Smith-Schuster into their fantasy lineups.
