Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins needs surgery for his foot injury and will likely miss the rest of the season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Dobbins suffered the foot injury on a hip-drop tackle during Denver's Week 10 win over the Raiders. NFL Network reports that it's a "ligament issue" and calls the surgery season-ending.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He’s dealing with a “significant” foot injury and is expected to be sidelined “for the foreseeable future,” NFL Network reports. We’ll see if Dobbins lands on IR on Saturday. His absence should mean an expanded early-down role for RB R.J. Harvey. Denver only has RBs Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin behind him. Harvey checks in 22nd in the Week 11 RB rankings in a tough matchup against Kansas City.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. While we don't have a firm update on Dobbins' injury, the tea leaves suggest he'll miss multiple games. That should mean an expanded early-down role for RB R.J. Harvey. Denver only has Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin behind him. Harvey gets a tough draw on Sunday against Kansas City's seventh-ranked RB defense, but the rookie sits 22nd in the Week 11 RB rankings.

IR is "being considered" for Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins (foot), according to The Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson. Dobbins sought a second opinion on his foot injury, but we still haven't heard any further updates. If IR is even a possibility, though, it's likely that Dobbins will miss multiple games. IR would cost him at least four. Dobbins is worth keeping stashed as we await more information, but fantasy owners should at least plan on him missing Week 11. The Broncos then get a Week 12 bye. Dobbins' absence would likely mean a much bigger role for RB R.J. Harvey, particularly on early downs. The only other RBs on Denver's active roster are Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a left foot injury in Thursday night's win over the Raiders. He never sought treatment for it on the sideline, finished the game, and said afterward he was OK. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports, however, that Dobbins is "awaiting a second opinion" on the foot. You don't normally go seek that second opinion if the first doctor tells you you're fine.

J.K. Dobbins remained Denver's clear lead back in Thursday night's win over the Raiders, carrying 18 times for 77 yards. RB R.J. Harvey mustered just nine yards on his four carries. The rookie out-targeted Dobbins three to one but totaled only nine yards on his two grabs. Dobbins caught his lone target for seven yards.

Broncos RB RJ Harvey caught a team-high five passes for a team-high 51 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans. He caught the second of two Bo Nix TD passes, scoring from 27 yards out in the fourth quarter. Harvey added just 5 rushing yards on two carries. But that usage masked a notable playing-time increase.

Broncos RB RJ Harvey delivered one of the most efficient fantasy days of the 2025 season in Sunday’s win over Dallas. The rookie took 7 carries for 46 yards and 2 TDs, adding a 5-yard TD on his lone target.

Broncos QB Bo Nix went off for 279 passing yards and 4 total scores in Sunday’s stunning comeback win over the Giants. Nix recorded 170 passing yards and all four TDs in the fourth quarter alone, supporting the QB1 fantasy finish for Week 7.

Neither the Broncos nor the Jets had much success on offense in London on Sunday. Denver RB J.K. Dobbins rushed 14 times and was held to 40 yards in Denver's 13-11 win. As a team, the Broncos mustered only 78 rushing yards on 26 attempts. Dobbins' 2.9 yards per carry average and 4.0 PPR points were his lowest output of the season.

Broncos RB Tyler Badie is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Jets. He'd been playing a small (but annoying) passing-down role, but Denver will instead go with Jaleel McLaughlin as No. 3 RB for this one. McLaughlin could just step into Badie's role -- or we could see a few extra passing-down snaps for RBs J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey.

Broncos rookie RB RJ Harvey managed just 12 yards on four carries in Sunday's win over the Eagles. He added 3 receptions for 18 yards among three targets. That did mark his third straight game with at least 3 catches, but Harvey's playing time also reverted badly after what seemed like a breakthrough Week 4 vs. Cincinnati.

After averaging 178.3 passing yards in his first three games of the season, QB Bo Nix shredded the depleted Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football to cap off Week 4. Nix threw for 326 yards and 2 TDs and rushed 6 times for 7 yards and another score as the Broncos ended their 2-game losing streak.

A quick check of the Week 3 game stats might make you think that Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins saw his role decrease. He dipped to 11 carries after logging 16 and 14 in the first two contests, and totaled just 12 touches. But the veteran RB actually saw his largest playing-time share to date as Denver left Tyler Badie out of the rotation.

The Broncos registered 40 pass attempts vs. just 22 RB runs in their Week 1 win over the Titans. Fourteen of team's first 17 plays were passes. HC Sean Payton is looking for more balance going forward. “I’ve got to be better there,” Payton said. “It’s one of those day-afters where you look back and say, ‘Alright, let’s look at how we really wanted to start that game and get those two runners going,’ because we think we’ve really improved in that area.”

The Denver Broncos released their depth charts ahead of their Week 1 opener against the Titans, and veteran RB J.K. Dobbins is listed ahead of rookie RJ Harvey.

The Broncos ran RJ Harvey as the lead back in Saturday's preseason opener at San Francisco. The rookie started and played 12 of the 19 first-team snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. That included Harvey taking 12 of the 13 snaps on first or second down. J.K. Dobbins picked up the other one, as well as all of the third-down snaps. Harvey took all seven of the carries and edged Dobbins 2-1 in targets.

Rookie RB RJ Harvey was listed as the RB5 on the Denver Broncos first unofficial depth chart, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Are you wondering how the Denver backfield will sort out for 2025? Of course. We all are. And HC Sean Payton says that even he doesn't know yet. "I'm looking forward to seeing how they play," he told ESPN's Jeff Legwold in late June. "They're going to get opportunities. Audric is going to get opportunities. We've seen Jaleel. Don't try to figure out the club right now. It's way too early." Harvey became the immediate fantasy favorite after the Broncos drafted him in Round 2 and Payton drew comparisons to versatile RBs from his past. But the more recent J.K. Dobbins signing complicates the fantasy outlook.
