5. Will JK Dobbins catch passes for the Baltimore Ravens?

This seems to be something brewing in the background at the Baltimore Ravens training camp. Todd Monken talked often at OTAs about throwing the football more in general, and that meant getting the running backs involved in the passing game.

However, when J.K. Dobbins missed the first few weeks of training camp, there were questions of how that would develop or if Justice Hill was just a pass-catching back. Now that Dobbins is back, it is looking like the rumors are true, and he will be used in the passing game more. He shied away from expanding on it much in practice, but the reports are that he has been involved. This would be a major development for someone who averages one catch for about five yards per game.

Do we see this from the first week? An easy way to get Lamar Jackson adjusted to the Ravens' new offense would be some quick passes to the running back. The Texans linebackers are their weakness, and this could be an easy matchup to exploit. If you want to find a bet, take the over on Dobbins receiving. He also is a great fantasy football player for week one.
