J.K. Dobbins, running back for the Los Angeles Chargers, has suffered a knee injury during Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens, leading to his placement on injured reserve. While his MCL sprain isn't season-ending, he won't be eligible to return until Week 17 at the earliest. The Chargers' running game has struggled without him, and his potential return raises questions about his workload and fantasy value.

Despite the injury setbacks in his career, Dobbins was having a promising season prior to this latest issue. The team may limit his touches upon his return to ensure he can contribute effectively, impacting fantasy football strategies for those relying on him.
