Risk & Opportunity Analysis (3 flags)

Risk Flags

Injury Concerns
Dobbins is working back from a Lisfranc foot surgery that ended his prior season, and dealt with a separate soft-tissue issue that kept him out of preseason work; his career-long injury pattern makes a full, healthy season the exception rather than the rule.
Target Volume
Target share and receiving usage remain minimal in this offense, with passing-down and change-of-pace work ceding to Harvey; that caps Dobbins's weekly ceiling to early-down and goal-line volume.

Opportunity Flags

Contract Situation
Dobbins re-signed with Denver on a multi-year deal in March 2026, giving him a clearer runway to hold the lead role into next season rather than facing free agency uncertainty.
