Here are the running backs with injury concerns to avoid in your fantasy football drafts.
Mostert is coming off a career-best season, leading the NFL with 21 total touchdowns and achieving a career-high 1,012 rushing yards. He missed two games due to left knee and ankle injuries and has a long history of career knee injuries, including a torn ACL in Week 1 of 2021. Despite bouncing back to play in 16 games in 2022 and 15 games last year, expectations are for regression in 2024 from both a touchdown and injury standpoint
Brooks suffered a torn ACL in his right knee last November. It is challenging for any rookie to be productive in their first season back from an ACL tear, and it is even more difficult when also making the leap to a higher level of competition.
We remain cautious about Brooks' potential impact during his rookie season. Given the difficulty of returning to peak performance after an ACL tear and adjusting to the increased competition in the NFL, it is prudent to temper expectations for Brooks' immediate contributions on the field.
Dobbins was cleared for football activities in late March after suffering a torn Achilles in Week 1 of last season. He is looking to shed the injury-prone label and claims to be '100 percent. We at sicscore.com will continue to fade the RBs production as we do not see him playing to full potential due to his second major injury in two years. Dobbins is currently listed as RB2 on most Chargers depth charts and will likely split time with Gus Edwards.
Chubb played only two games last season before sustaining a major knee injury that led to two separate surgeries. Following his injury, Chubb underwent successful knee surgery on September 29, 2023, to repair his medial capsule, meniscus, and medial collateral ligament (MCL). Later, on November 14, 2023, he had another successful surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Recently, Chubb has been seen on video squatting over 500 lbs. Although he has not yet been cleared for football activities, he has reportedly been progressing positively toward a return this season.
