After signing with the Denver Broncos, J.K. Dobbins is rising up draft boards on Underdog. In the last week, Dobbins has risen 16.5 spots from the late 13th round into the middle of round 12. This precipitous rise is due to the fact that Dobbins is joining a bullish offense led by head coach Sean Payton. 

While Dobbins is not expected to be the lead running back, his opportunity in the Broncos offense can pay off tremendous value at his current ADP. There are many alluring angles in which Dobbins can be a great pick for current drafters. In a timeshare with rookie RJ Harvey, it is easy to envision the Alvin Kamara-Mark Ingram backfield that paid off for both backs who were led by now head coach Sean Payton. In the event of a Harvey injury, Dobbins presents league and tournament winning upside. 

With the Los Angeles Chargers last season, Dobbins was No.7 in Explosive Rating (EPX) in and managed 905 rushing yards in 13 games played. His 14.8 fantasy points per game was 18th best at the position. Beleaguered by injuries early in his career, Dobbins is in position to reroute the direction of his career at 26.5 years old. He is perfectly discounted in all formats as his upside in the event of a Harvey injury is still not being fully appreciated.
