Joshua Dobbs

Week 12 vs. Chicago Bears

Josh Dobbs comes in just outside of the Top 12 conversation at QB14. The Bears have been solid against QBs all season. They've only allowed one QB to break 20 fantasy points in the last seven weeks.

Dobbs has been a social media sensation and has backed it up, largely, with his play. He's consistently been over 60% completion rate and is on a touchdown streak for four weeks now. Dobbs is a solid streamer and is a must-start in superflex.

Week 10 vs. New Orleans Saints

Joshua Dobbs is making his first start for the Vikings this weekend but he's already left an impression. He came in after Jaren Hall got hurt in Week 9 and led Minnesota to victory. Dobbs was able to complete 66% of his passes, threw for two touchdowns, and added 66 yards and a score on the ground. This was all, basically, without knowing the playbook.

He does face off against a tough Saints defense that, on paper, has been stingy against opposing QBs this year. If we dig in a bit, though, the story on them gets a bit muddied. They've only allowed two QBs to break 20 fantasy points, but they haven't exactly faced a Murderers' Row of signal callers lately. If you're affected by a bye, he might be your best option but he's just a mid-range QB2 this week.

Week 6 at Los Angeles Rams

Josh Dobbs really struggled last week against the Bengals. While he did find a way to throw a pair of touchdown passes in the lopsided loss, he completed just 46.9% of his 32 pass attempts for 166 yards and a pair of interceptions. He also lost a fumble and was held to a single yard on three rushing attempts. Dobbs will have better outings than that, but it was discouraging to see after a string of solid performances in Weeks 2-4.

This week, Dobbs faces a Rams defense that ranks 18th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. Expect a performance somewhere between his dismal game against the Bengals and his normal output this season. He remains a fringe option as a streamer, and a low-end QB2 in most leagues.
