Oh well He started off 2 car -4 yards and went on to go 7 car 32 yards rest of the game, 4.5 ypc. Gus Bus was 14 car 26 yards for 1.9 ypc but got the TD. I don't think he was bad, Eagles run D toughened up minus containing Lamar. Absolutely perfect time for the bye week for alot of these rookie RBs, including Dobbins. Loved how Swift emerged from the bye, hoping to see the same with JK. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

daethfromabove1979 874 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 What kind of keeper value does Dobbins have for next year? Ingram has another year left so is anything going to change? Link to post Share on other sites

Dobbins could still emerge, and week #8 could be the perfect time. For sure. The kid has looked pretty electric, albeit inconsistent. The BAL coaches can not be all that happy with the general state of the offense--regardless of their record right now. This was a top tier running team, what better way to shake things up than to give him some actual serious run to get into a groove. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That's definitely my Achilles heal. But, I just hate it when I give up on a guy, someone else grabs him and he goes off for like half a season! Patience may be a virtue in the real world, but it can be your down fall in FF for sure! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Cleanface 701 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I’ve been holding him all year as a potential lotto ticket, better believe I’m holding for a few more weeks to see if they come out of the bye w a new mindset RE the backfield. Esp w the Ingram injury and uncertainty. Could turn it into the LJ & JK show ROS. Harbaugh has shown he can do a 180 mid-season and adjust his entire game plan to the benefit of LJ and the strengths of his team. The emergence of JK after the bye could be a part of the plan. I’m def going to see what they have in store. I feel like they might have something up their sleeve. Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody really wants to drop him, everyone sees the potential, but there have been plenty of other toys on the wire. It's definitely, definitely worth a punt now with the bye week and Ingram injured. The same questions as always - they like Gus Edwards, Lamar runs all the time, fewer redzone looks. Just...he's clearly very good. I watch him play, then I watch Zach Moss look just bad, then I watch Gibson behind that crappy line. You can't help but give Dobbins another chance. Link to post Share on other sites

FitzMagic 4,260 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 If Gus Bus wasn't in the way I'd say stick with Dobbins. But I just don't see any clear path for him this year. Plus, they are saying Ingram's injury is mild. So, they may just trot him out there for some carries anyway. Baltimore is just a horrible situation for all involved. Link to post Share on other sites

Baltimore is just a horrible situation for all involved. I'm calling shenanigans on that mild label. WTF is a mild to high ankle sprain anyways? Never heard of mid before has anyone else? I'm pretty optimistic Ingram misses at least one game -- at the very least now is a phenomenal time to spec or trade for Dobbins before there is more news on his ankle. Plus it's not like Ingram was that effective before the injury. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
codyodea 351 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 If Ingram sits and Dobbins doesn't get 60% of the touches, we will have our answer I believe. In the reality I chose to live in, Dobbins starts to get the bulk moving forward no matter what. I'm a teacher and when I get some days off to go over what my students are doing, it becomes clear how to help them succeed. Teach, Harbaugh. Teach! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Even superman like MT n cmc couldn't come back that early. Ingram will be out for awhile Edited October 21, 2020 by Everynameistaken Link to post Share on other sites

kp96 705 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I don't know if there will be anyone that is a solid RB here. Last year, the Ravens broke the record for most rushing yards by a team in a single season, and Ingram barely cracked 1000 yards. I mean, he was really good (10 tds), don't get me wrong, but even with a historic rushing effort, their best rusher didn't blow anyone away. It's a combination of Lamar being a second running back and the RBBC. The Ravens will not only have to decide that they don't want to go RBBC (highly unlikely), but also return to their incredible rushing efficiency and volume from last year. Then there might be someone here who can be relied on as a weekly starter. I'd look elsewhere, honestly, unless you are in a real deep league. IMO the coaching staff believes in all their RBs and will share the load to keep everyone fresh during the game, and that really just kills any single rb's value. Link to post Share on other sites

Eaglesflyhigh11 450 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 We could hope they trade one of the other 2 at the deadline . Seriously though they'd be dumb not to start using this kid regardless of fantasy. He needs 10+ Touches every game. He'd take them to the next level.

Without knowing what happens to the cap next year, they are still in a pretty good spot--as far as cap space, projected 43+ MM under next year. Ingram is gonna need to show well later in the year to stick around imo. He has a 5MM base next year with a 1.3 MM prorated bonus--which basically means that figure (1.3 MM) is all that would be 'dead money' as a post June 1st cut and they would recoup the entire 5 MM as savings. Given the situation in BAL, along with the future cap considerations and general under payment of RBs--esp ones that are 30+ yrs old, you have to think his spot is in serious doubt. They know what Gus is, it is time to see if the RB you simply couldn't pass on in the draft (because they had a RD1 grade on him) is your present-- and future. Ravens are pretty damn smart, I think that is what they are getting ready to do on their BYE week installs. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I believe he is. Can never assume rational coaching, but I think the Ravens are amongst the smartest run and coached teams in the league. BYE week prep is the perfect time to install him as a key part of the offense. It is go time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
