Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins has been ruled out for the AFC Championship game.
The Broncos have ruled out RB J.K. Dobbins for their AFC Championship clash against the New England Patriots. Dobbins is still dealing with a foot injury that he suffered in week 10 against the Raiders. Denver did open Dobbins 21-day practice window on Monday, so there is still optimism that he could make his return for the Super Bowl.
In his absence, RJ Harvey will continue to lead the Denver backfield. Harvey only managed 6 carries for 20 yards in the divisional round against Buffalo, but he still found a way to contribute as a receiver, posting 5 receptions for 46 yards.

The Denver Broncos have placed running back J.K. Dobbins on injured reserve today, likely ending his season.
The Denver Broncos have placed J.K. Dobbins on injured reserve with a foot injury. Dobbins and the team sought several opinions but surgery ended up being the only option.
Dobbins currently leads the team with 772 rushing yards which ranks fifth in the league. R.J. Harvey will see an expanded role with Dobbins out but Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin are expected to remain involved.
Harvey has flashed his big play ability and can be counted on as a running back two for fantasy managers, Badie and McLaughlin will be used just enough to cap Harvey’s ceiling a bit but aren’t more than stashes at this time.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins doesn’t practice on Wednesday after avoiding injured reserve the day before.
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins did not practice on Wednesday, one day after the team announced they weren’t placing him on injured reserve. Despite not being placed on IR it appears Dobbins is likely to miss this Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Dobbins leads the Broncos, and is currently fifth in the NFL, in rushing yards with 772. In his absence rookie R.J. Harvey should see a larger role, while Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin can expect additional opportunities as well.
Harvey has been a fantasy darling since Denver selected him in the second round of the NFL Draft, he’s produced with his opportunities but has lacked volume, that should change this week. Badie and McLaughlin are just role players and don’t need to be near starting fantasy lineups.

Denver Broncos running back JK Dobbins injured his foot from a hip drop tackle late in the win over the Raiders on Thursday Night Football.
JK Dobbins can’t catch a break on injuries. He has missed significant chunks of his career to various injuries. This opens the door for highly touted rookie RJ Harvey. Of course head coach Sean Payton has to allow that to happen.
JK Dobbins has been a reliable back in fantasy as a RB18 on the season. RJ Harvey’s explosiveness as a fill in back has him as RB22 on the season. Now that Harvey has an opportunity for a bigger role, we have a potential league winner on our hands. This may be your last opportunity buy Harvey before a massive breakout.

All of the Denver Broncos skill players underwhelmed in their Thursday Night Football matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Denver Broncos only scored one touchdown in their game Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. In the second quarter Bo Nix connected with Troy Franklin for a seven yard touchdown.
Nix finished with 150 passing yards and two interceptions as well as the touchdown pass. Rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant led the team with 43 receiving yards on just one reception, JK Dobbins led the way on the ground with 77 rushing yards. Rookie running back RJ Harvey and wide receiver Courtland Sutton both had less than 25 scrimmage yards.
This was a disappointing performance for the Denver offense but Franklin seems to have established himself as their clear cut wide receiver two, Sutton and Dobbins remain quality fantasy assets and the rookies, Bryant and Harvey are still carving out their roles.
