- Dobbins rushed 17 times for 49 yards while catching one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams.
Dobbins is up to 35 rushing attempts through three weeks, while no other Denver running back has exceeded 10. Jonah Coleman (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, while RJ Harvey has more targets (11) than carries (five). Dobbins has yet to score on the ground after recording four rushing touchdowns last season, and he has been a non-factor in the passing game, as Sunday's targets were Dobbins' first two of the season. On the bright side, Dobbins has recovered from previous hip and hamstring concerns and is poised to keep leading Denver's ground game in Week 4 at San Francisco.
RotoWire via ESPN - Fantasy football Week 3 inactives: Puka Nacua out for Sunday Night Football
Whom should you start? Whom should you sit? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and avoid starting an offensive player who won't be in the lineup, we'll post fantasy-relevant updates and analysis here as NFL teams release their official inactives lists. Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in approximately 90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff times: around 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late-afternoon games. Refresh often for the latest information. Don't forget to check these out: Mike Clay's Playbook | Week 3 Buzz Week 3 Rankings | Matchup rankings for Week 3 Biggest concerns heading into Week 3 Players with early starts ACTIVE DJ Moore, WR, Bills (shoulder): Moore is active for Week 3. He has not missed a game since 2020. It should be noted that Moore was limited and wore a noncontact jersey twice during this past week, so while fantasy managers should plan to start him, he may be somewhat limited. Keon Coleman, WR, Bills (ankle): Coleman also missed practice this week, but was able to log a limited session Friday and is active. However, that is more of a boost for Josh Allen and the Bills than it is fantasy managers. Jalen Coker, WR, Panthers (ankle): After missing practice Thursday, Coker returned in a limited fashion Friday — his second practice of the week. He is active for Week 3. He has seen nine targets in both games this season. In fact, his usage is very similar to Tetairoa McMillan, only Coker is seeing a higher number of efficient targets. Malik Nabers, WR, Giants (shoulder): Nabers suffered his injury during "Monday Night Football" but was able to return to the field. He did pop up on the practice report this week but was able to log in full practices and is active for Week 3. He is a more volatile fantasy option with Jameis Winston under center — especially this week with bad weather. In most weeks, Nabers should still be viewed as a fantasy WR2. However, given the conditions today, lower him to a WR3. I would rather go with DJ Moore, Jaylen Waddle, Ladd McConkey or Tee Higgins. Play Nabers over Emeka Egbuka, Terry McLaurin, DK Metcalf and Jameson Williams. Michael Pittman Jr., WR, Steelers (foot): After missing Week 2, Pittman was able to log limited practices this week and is active for Week 3. Even so, Pittman is nothing more than a low-floor flex option due to the struggling Steelers passing attack. The list of streaming options mentioned above are all receivers I would rather play than Pittman. Jadarian Price, RB, Seahawks (chest): Price was limited at practice to start the week but got in a full practice on Friday and is active for Week 3. The Seahawks face the Commanders, who have been "middle of the road" against RBs. However, game script should largely be on Seattle's side. As such, Price is an RB2 play who can be started over Travis Etienne Jr., Warren, Rhamondre Stevenson and any Broncos RB. Emanuel Wilson could still see touches after he turned 21 carries into 92 yards last week. He brings a low-floor, but the matchup has him in play for those having to dive deeper at the RB position. Sam Darnold, QB, Seahawks (glute): The Super Bowl-winning QB returned to practice this week and is active against the Commanders. Though his status elevates those around him, Darnold is still only a QB2 for fantasy purposes, I would not start him ahead of Tyler Shough, Kyler Murray, Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud. Tyjae Spears, RB, Titans (ankle): Tennessee's passing-downs back did not practice to open the week but was able to log in a limited session Friday. Although it was uncertain, he is indeed active for Week 3. Spears has handled the bulk of passing-down opportunities while splitting snaps with Tony Pollard. With Spears active, both he and Pollard are purely just flex options in what is expected to be a low-scoring game with lots of bad weather. I would rather play Travis Etienne Jr, Kyle Monangai, Blake Corum, and both Patriots RBs. INACTIVE Adonai Mitchell, W
ESPN - Dobbins (hip) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report.
Dobbins sustained an apparent hamstring injury in this past Sunday's victory over the Jaguars and was ultimately limited at Wednesday's session with a hip issue, but with him getting in a full session Thursday neither is an issue any longer. Backfield mate RJ Harvey (hamstring) also practiced fully Thursday while rookie Jonah Coleman (ankle) sat out a second straight day,
RotoWire via ESPN - Dobbins (hip) was spotted on the field for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Dobbins opened Week 3 prep as a limited participant Wednesday, so if he can upgrade to full activity Thursday, it would clear up any concern about his status heading into Sunday's game against the Rams. He's one of three Denver running backs on the injury report this week, as RJ Harvey (hamstring) was limited and Jonah Coleman (ankle) didn't participate in the team's first practice of the week.
RotoWire via ESPN - Dobbins (hip) was limited at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
As for the other injured Broncos running backs, RJ Harvey (hamstring) also was a limited participant, while Jonah Coleman didn't practice due to a sprained ankle. Dobbins himself suffered what was termed a hamstring injury during the team's Week 2 win against the Jaguars, but it was reclassified as a hip issue on Denver's first Week 3 practice report. He'll now have two more practices to prove his health ahead of the weekend.
