Dobbins tallied the longest play of the day for the Chargers, ripping off a 61-yard run that came close to a touchdown. The Chargers are expected to ride the hot hand, but Dobbins could have the upper hand heading into Week 2.

Los Angeles Chargers RBs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards are both expected to see action in 2024, and the team will ride with the "hot hand," says offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

With head coach Jim Harbaugh in town, as well as with Roman at OC, the Chargers are expected to be a run-oriented team. Dobbins and Edwards both signed with L.A. from Baltimore in the offseason, where they played under the other Harbaugh brother (John). With a new focus on rushing efficiency, both Dobbins and Edwards have a chance to outperform their ADPs (half-PPR RB43 and 38, respectively) and could have smash weeks (Week 1 half-PPR ECR RB39 and 33, respectively), though it may make for an unpredictable ride for fantasy managers.

J.K. Dobbins told reporters on Thursday that he believes he is in for a "special" season in 2024. He has been a full participant in practice thus far after rupturing his Achilles in Week 1 of 2023.

Since being drafted by Baltimore in 2020, Dobbins has played in only 24 games as his career has been plagued with injuries. He will hope to stay on the field in 2024 in his new role as part of the Chargers' RB room.

J.K. Dobbins is expected to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact

Dobbins suffered a torn Achilles at the start of the 2023 season that left him with a limited market in free agency, but now he is expected to sign with the Chargers. He will reunite with his former offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who helped him find stretches of success in Baltimore. His fantasy value will largely hinge on how well his recovery goes this offseason, but the starting spot is ripe for the taking with Gus Edwards being the only other notably RB on the roster currently.

Free agent RB J.K. Dobbins is visiting the Chiefs Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Dobbins is set to visit with the Chiefs as the team is looking at possibly adding the veteran as a depth option. Dobbins was recently cleared for football activities after coming off a torn Achilles.
