J.K. Dobbins

When the Baltimore Ravens selected J.K. Dobbins, many thought that he would be the heir apparent to take over the ground game along with Lamar Jackson. Instead, when the Baltimore Ravens released their first edition of the depth chart, Dobbins was listed as the fourth back.

Usually, a player buried in the depth chart would not be any kind of X-Factor, but Dobbins is a player that can make a difference anytime he is on the field.

There is strong speculation that Dobbins is going to become the starter in Baltimore sooner rather than later, and he should get some opportunities to impact the game on Sunday. Dobbins will likely be able to enter the game when Mark Ingram has been able to wear down the Browns’ defense.

With a tired defense and a rested Dobbins, he may be able to break the game open by delivering a pounding rushing attack. Dobbins may be looking to prove the depth chart wrong and pick up meaningful yards and touchdowns on early carries.
