How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Dobbins scores 10.5 standard points a game, RB20 of 103 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 7.6 and 14.3; 5 boom weeks (12+) and 1 bust (under 5).
Dobbins scores 11.0 half-PPR points a game, RB24 of 103 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 8.1 and 14.8; 0 boom weeks (16+) and 2 busts (under 6.5).
Dobbins scores 11.6 PPR points a game, RB26 of 103 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 8.6 and 15.3; 0 boom weeks (20+) and 2 busts (under 8).
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the RB24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
He runs between the tackles: 65% of his carries go at guard or tackle (league 55%). The passing game barely involves him: 8% of his touches are targets (league 17%). His share of the team's touches is 15%: on third down it falls to 4%; inside the 20 it holds at 12%. He rarely moves before the snap: 43% of his touches come with motion (league 56%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own touches, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying backs; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Dobbins's -0.8 EPA is 32nd of 89 backs. The biggest share comes after the catch (+5.4, 4th percentile per target).

How this is measured
Every carry and target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. Runs are per carry, the receiving parts per target. The percentile is him among the qualifying backs, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 30 touches.

Touches are steady: 17.3 a game over his last three against 16.7 for the season. 10 straight games above a starter's median in touches.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 20th-toughest slate vs the run: his opponents rank 16.9 of 32 on average (league middle 16.1).
