J.K. Dobbins, a running back for the Baltimore Ravens, is getting ready to play again after being out with a knee injury. He didn’t fully practice on Tuesday, but he could play in Week 17 when the Ravens face the New England Patriots. Dobbins has missed the last four games, and if he’s able to return, he could be a good choice as a backup running back for Fantasy teams. However, there is some risk because Dobbins has been away for a while, and it’s the Fantasy championship week.

Before his injury, Dobbins was playing really well. In the four games before his injury, he scored at least 16.8 Fantasy points in three of them. He was a must-start player in Fantasy football. But, because of his long break, Fantasy managers are unsure if he can come back at full strength.

If Dobbins can't play, Gus Edwards will likely take his place. Edwards had his best game of the season in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. He ran for 68 yards on 14 carries and scored two touchdowns. He also caught one pass for 3 yards. Although Edwards has had some tough games against teams like Atlanta, Kansas City, and Tampa Bay, he has scored three touchdowns in his last three games.

The game against the Patriots is a good opportunity for Edwards. The Patriots have had trouble stopping running backs this season. In the last three games, three different running backs have rushed for over 96 yards against the Patriots. Also, a running back has scored more than 17.3 Fantasy points in four straight games against New England. This means Edwards has a good chance to play well in this game.

It would be great if Dobbins is back at full health, but if he isn’t ready to play, Edwards could have another strong game. With the Patriots’ defense struggling against running backs, Edwards may be a good choice for Fantasy managers looking for a good performance in Week 17.
