8. J.K. Dobbins, RB, Baltimore Ravens at New York Giants
One of the reasons the Giants are 4-1 is their run defense. Opposing running backs are averaging 114.6 rushing yards per game, but they’ve allowed just a single touchdown to the position. Dobbins is going through a brutal gauntlet of run defenses starting with the Patriots in Week 3 (5.0 fantasy points), the Bills in Week 4 (a surprising 20.3 points) and 4.4 to the Bengals. Dobbins always has the looming cloud of Lamar Jackson taking it to the house himself. It’s a tough spot to be in for the Ravens’ feature back. So he’ll keep the bench warm if we’re making the call.
