Why It Matters: Once again, Dobbins didn't find a lot of room to roam, averaging 3.6 yards per carry -- that follows outputs of 2.9 YPC in Week 3 and 3.6 YPC in Week 2. The veteran is purportedly healthy, but he doesn't look like the same back he was before getting injured last November. You wonder if we'd already be seeing a changing of the guard if Jonah Coleman (ankle) hadn't ended up on IR with an ankle issue. Regardless, Dobbins remains the No. 1 back for the Broncos right now, which affords him RB3/flex appeal for the time being.
