From the article

J.K. Dobbins had his usual early down only role with a 31.3% snap share, 50% of the rushing attempts, and a 15.9% route share. Dobbins finished with 13 touches and 52 total yards. The problem for Dobbins, outside of the Denver defense taking a huge step back this season, is that he doesn't resemble the same back that we have loved over the last few years. Dobbins has only a 4.9% explosive run rate and 11% missed tackle rate.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Dobbins' 4.9% explosive rate and poor metrics make him a sit vs. Chargers' strong run defense.

Dobbins had a 31.3% snap share, 50% of rushing attempts, and 15.9% route share last week, finishing with 13 touches and 52 total yards—his typical workload. However, he no longer resembles the back fantasy owners loved; he has only 4.9% explosive run rate and 11% missed tackle rate, a shell of his former rushing metrics. Chargers have a formidable run defense (11th-lowest explosive run rate, fifth-lowest rushing success rate, sixth-best stuff rate), making Dobbins a sit this week.
