Declares for draft
Dobbins announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he will forgo his senior season at Ohio State and enter the 2020 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
The announcement comes as little surprise after Dobbins wrapped up his junior season in impressive fashion in the Buckeyes' College Football Playoff loss to Clemson, compiling 221 yards from scrimmage in the outing. The huge performance allowed him to surpass 2,000 yards on the ground over his 14 games this season, with Dobbins reaching the end zone 23 times. Master Teague is the next man up on the depth chart and should get the first crack at replacing Dobbins' as Ohio State's lead back in 2020.

Despite a matchup that may deter some from utilizing Dobbins at his slate-high running back price, an injured Justin Fields and increase in workload down the stretch should keep him on the table.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
Dobbins took a minor step back from a rushing perspective last season, averaging just 4.6 yards per tote after posting a 7.2 average as a freshman in 2017. Some of that likely relates to a change in the offense with pro-style quarterback Dwayne Haskins barking out calls. With dual-threat signal-caller Justin Fields set to take the reins this season, the offense will likely resemble 2017 when J.T. Barrett was at the helm, which could benefit Dobbins again.
