BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Joshua Dobbs has been on three different teams since the start of training camp, but he continues to put up numbers. Thanks to his rushing upside, Dobbs has been a legitimate option for fantasy managers this late in the season.
Dobbs played his first eight games of the season with the Arizona Cardinals. Half of that time, the team was missing starting running back, James Conner. The offensive weapons were severely lacking. Despite this, Dobbs managed to finish as a top-10 quarterback in four weeks.
In a fifth game, Dobbs finished as the QB13. That is incredibly impressive considering the circumstances he faced. During those first eight weeks of the season, Dobbs averaged 17.2 PPG, which was good for 16th among quarterbacks with at least four starts. Now imagine going from throwing to Marquise Brown, Michael Wilson, Rondale Moore, and Zach Ertz to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, K.J. Osborn, and T.J. Hockenson.
In his first game with the Vikings, Dobbs was amazing, both as a passer and a runner. He completed 23 of his 34 passes for 268 yards and one touchdown. He also had eight carries for 44 yards and another score. This was really after just his first week of practice with Minnesota and he didn't have the world's greatest receiver on the planet available to him.
Once Jefferson returns, with the bevy of weapons he has at his disposal along with the high level of passing volume and his rushing ability, Dobbs has the potential to finish as a QB1 during his tenure with Minnesota.
