Dobbins rushed 17 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for five yards during the Broncos' 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks on Thursday.
Dobbins was in the customary position of leading the Broncos' ground attack in rush attempts and rushing yards, but he averaged only 2.4 yards per carry against a stingy Seahawks front. Nevertheless, the veteran back made a trip to the end zone for the second consecutive game, going in from four yards out early in the second quarter. After averaging 4.5 yards per carry in a Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, Dobbins has hit a wall in terms of efficiency, but he'll remain the top option in the ground attack for a favorable Week 7 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 25.
Dobbins rushed 11 times for 40 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards in the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Dobbins functioned in his usual lead-back role, but the Broncos eventually had to focus more on the pass in the fourth quarter after falling behind by a 17-6 margin. The veteran back has logged double-digit carries in three straight games, yet he's topped out at 49 rushing yards in terms of a single-game high thus far this season. Dobbins is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry and has a scant three receptions for 16 yards over the first four games, which doesn't give him much momentum as he heads into a Week 5 road divisional matchup against the Chargers.
Everyone sharing the ball with J.K., most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Dobbins rushed 17 times for 49 yards while catching one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams.
Dobbins is up to 35 rushing attempts through three weeks, while no other Denver running back has exceeded 10. Jonah Coleman (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, while RJ Harvey has more targets (11) than carries (five). Dobbins has yet to score on the ground after recording four rushing touchdowns last season, and he has been a non-factor in the passing game, as Sunday's targets were Dobbins' first two of the season. On the bright side, Dobbins has recovered from previous hip and hamstring concerns and is poised to keep leading Denver's ground game in Week 4 at San Francisco.

Dobbins, who exited the Week 2 win over the Jaguars with a hip injury, managed to practice in limited fashion Wednesday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran running back exited the game in the third quarter after carrying 10 times for 36 yards and going without a target. Dobbins had pledged to not miss any games this season after sitting out seven during the 2025 campaign, and if he manages to suit up for Sunday night's game against the Rams, he could be set for a heavy workload considering RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman are dealing with hamstring and ankle issues, respectively.

Dobbins nearly signed with the Jaguars this offseason, Luca Evans of the Denver Post reports.
Instead, Dobbins returned to the Broncos on a one-year contract worth a guaranteed $8 million this offseason. His motivation is to prove that last season's results were no fluke and that he is capable of playing a full season. Dobbins averaged an impressive 5.0 yards per carry across 153 carries in 2025, but injuries have cost him plenty in his career as he has played in 10 or fewer regular-season contests in four of his six campaigns, including last year. He figures to lead a backfield committee in 2026, with second-year player RJ Harvey as his primary competition for snaps and touches.
