STACKED’s take
Round 9 fade; injury history and limited passing-down role limit ceiling.
Round 9 fade due to injury history, limited passing-down role, and ceiling concerns. Dobbins has suffered catastrophic injuries in three of the last four years (ACL tear in 2021, Achilles tear in 2023, foot injury in 2024, knee injury limiting games in 2024), and the source projects him to lose the pass-down role to RJ Harvey or Jonah Coleman. While he may score 11–12 fantasy points per game as a low-end RB2, the source questions his upside significantly in round 9, viewing him as a small ADP beater at best but lacking the ceiling needed at that draft stage. Historically, Dobbins didn't reach 15 touches until week 8 of his rookie year, supporting the pattern that rookie running backs are often over-projected for immediate snap share and touches.
