J.K. Dobbins occupies the RB1 position for Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos have designated J.K. Dobbins as the starting running back on the team depth chart. This assignment comes ahead of the Week 1 regular season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. While the Broncos added Jonah Coleman in the draft and kept RJ Harvey on the roster, Dobbins remains the primary option in the backfield. Head coach Sean Payton has maintained a clear preference for Dobbins throughout the preseason. The team plans to rely on him for significant carries when they face the Chiefs to begin the schedule. Fantasy managers may consider his role when finalizing lineups for the upcoming game.
