J.K. Dobbins

DEN Running Back #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) is “good” after Week 2’s injury scare against the Jaguars.

It sounds like Dobbins will be good to go for Week 3’s game against the Rams. Dobbins rushed 10 times for 36 yards in Sunday’s win over the Jaguars and didn’t return to the field. The 27-year-old back has dealt with multiple severe injuries throughout his career and has not looked particularly impressive in either of his first two games this year. Even if he is active, there’s little reason to trust him for fantasy purposes at this time.
Jonah Coleman

DEN Running Back #20

Jonah Coleman rushed 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos’ Week 2 win over the Jaguars, adding three receptions for 19 additional yards.

Coleman’s 39 rushing yards led the team, while his 10 carries tied for the team high with J.K. Dobbins, who exited with a hamstring injury. With RJ Harvey (hamstring) also sidelined in this game, Coleman out-snapped veteran Tyler Badie 25 to 19, while also running six routes out of the backfield. Coleman found the end zone on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter to put the Broncos up 20-13. We’ll have to see how Dobbins and Harvey progress through their injuries throughout the week, but if both players are sidelined in Week 3 against the Rams, Coleman will have some FLEX appeal.
Troy Franklin

DEN Wide Receiver #11

Troy Franklin caught 1-of-2 targets for 27 yards in the Broncos’ Week 2 win against the Jaguars.

Franklin’s lone grab came on a nice sideline throw from Bo Nix. He only ran 10 pass routes on 36 Nix drop backs, however, making him unreliable in fantasy leagues. Franklin should be on waiver wires until or unless Denver struggles with wideout injuries.
Bo Nix

DEN Quarterback #10

Bo Nix completed 22-of-31 attempts for 288 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Broncos’ Week 2 win against the Jaguars, adding five rushes for eight yards.

It was an uneven day for Nix, who missed some routine throws and threw a bad pick in the end zone while targeting Courtland Sutton. He targeted Jaylen Waddle heavily and connected with Waddle for a 49-yard gain in the first half, regularly attacking the Jaguars secondary downfield. After taking far too many sacks in Week 1 against the Chiefs, Nix was not sacked against a solid Jaguars pass rush on Sunday. Nix’s lack of early-season rushing success has dinged his fantasy prospects a bit. He’s a fine superflex option for Week 3 against the Rams, however.
Evan Engram

DEN Tight End #1

Evan Engram caught his lone target for 17 yards in the Broncos’ Week 2 win against the Jaguars.

Engram followed up his four catch, 43 yard, one touchdown Week 1 performance with a dud against his former team. Engram ran a route on just 15 of Bo Nix’s 34 drop backs, a far lower rate than he had in Week 1 against the Chiefs. That kind of role and usage would mean Engram is unusable in fantasy formats. He should remain on waiver wires ahead of the Broncos’ Week 3 matchup against the Rams.
Tyler Badie

DEN Running Back #28

Tyler Badie had one rush for one yard in the Broncos’ Week 2 win against the Jaguars, adding two catches for 28 yards.

Badie saw significant action in this one after JK Dobbins exited the contest with a hamstring injury. RJ Harvey was inactive with his own hamstring issue, leaving Badie in the Harvey role and rookie RB Jonah Coleman as the primary early-down option for OC Davis Webb. If Dobbins and Harvey are sidelined next week against the Rams, Badie would have some usefulness in deeper PPR formats.
Courtland Sutton

DEN Wide Receiver #14

Courtland Sutton caught 3-of-4 targets for 25 yards in the Broncos’ Week 2 win against the Jaguars.

Sutton’s lone end zone target was intercepted on a poor throw from Bo Nix. Last week Sutton had just 11 yards on five targets in the Broncos’ season-opening loss to the Chiefs. Jaylen Waddle, with 148 yards in Week 2, has established himself as the clear-cut WR1 in the Denver offense. Sutton will be a touchdown-dependent WR3/4 option in Week 3 against the Rams.
Jaylen Waddle

DEN Wide Receiver #17

Jaylen Waddle caught 8-of-10 targets for 138 yards in the Broncos’ Week 2 win against the Jaguars.

Waddle was targeted on an obscene 42 percent of his pass routes against the Jaguars. He came up a yard short of a long touchdown in the first half and easily led all Denver pass catchers with ten looks from Bo Nix. Broncos OC Davis Webb’s insistence on force feeding Waddle makes the wideout too big to fail in the balanced Denver offense. Despite a letdown of a Week 1 performance against KC, Waddle should be locked into lineups until further notice. He’ll be a top-20 player in Week 3 against the Rams.
J.K. Dobbins

DEN Running Back #27

JK Dobbins (hamstring) is questionable to return in Week 2 against the Jaguars.

The injury-married Dobbins was in and out of the Denver lineup with various injuries and finally left the contest with what was called a hamstring issue. With RJ Harvey (hamstring) inactive, Jonah Coleman took over as the Broncos’ primary back while Tyler Badie functioned as the pass catcher out of the backfield. Coleman could be a candidate for upwards of 20 touches per week if Dobbins and Harvey are sidelined next week. Coleman’s lack of pass-catching involvement will limit his upside, however.
RJ Harvey

DEN Running Back #12

Broncos declared RB RJ Harvey, WR Marvin Mims Jr., QB Sam Ehlinger, G Kage Casey, TE Dallen Bentley, DE Jordan Jackson, and DE Tyler Onyedim inactive for Week 2 against the Jaguars.

Harvey will miss Week 2 with a hamstring injury, leaving JK Dobbins as the team’s lead back and Jonah Coleman as the likely RB2 option. Dobbins should get a boost — perhaps in the pass catching game — with Harvey sidelined, while Coleman probably won’t see more than a handful of touches.
