Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Josh Dobbs: After Dobbs threw four interceptions in Week 12 before the bye, Kevin O’Connell would not commit to him being the starter coming out of the bye, but did declare him the starter on Wednesday.
Dobbs now has 17 turnovers on the season.
Even with Dobbs starting, he is now at risk of being pulled with his next turnover after the threat he would not start heading into the bye.
With that, Dobbs is a volatile QB2. But there is some upside through rushing and now having Justin Jefferson on the field.
Before Week 12, Dobbs had been the QB13 or higher in fantasy in five straight games. All of those games with a rushing touchdown, however.
The Raiders have allowed opposing passers to complete 68.9% of their passes (30th) for 7.0 yards per pass attempt (19th), and a 3.8% touchdown rate (16th).
