Official Ravens.com reporter Clifton Brown reports that RB J.K. Dobbins is “highly motivated” heading into the 2023 NFL season. He also reported that new Ravens OC Todd Monken plans to get Dobbins “in space” in the receiving game out of the backfield – a welcome development for the uber-efficient runner as the Ravens retool their scheme to lean more heavily on the pass.
Dobbins has averaged over 5.0 YPC throughout his career but has handled little to no work in the receiving game during his time in the league.
With the potential to catch some passes out of the backfield and the role as the Ravens' No. 1 runner locked down for 2023, the 24-year-old Ohio State product could be in line for a very strong fantasy breakout in 2023 (he’s one of Faraz’s favorites to do so!).
