The Vikings’ comeback win against the Atlanta Falcons was pivotal, showcasing Dobbs’ ability to lead the team under pressure. With Justin Jefferson and KJ Osborn likely returning to the lineup, Dobbs has an arsenal of weapons. However, the upcoming matchup against the Denver Broncos presents a different challenge. Playing on the road and in outdoor conditions could impact his performance, raising some doubts among fans and analysts.

While Dobbs’s high ceiling is undeniable, his inconsistency remains a concern. Just three weeks ago, he was benched in favor of Clayton Tune, a decision that still lingers in the minds of many. This variable performance makes him a risky choice for fantasy football managers. He’s a valuable asset on the bench, but starting him might be a gamble, especially considering his low floor.

Dobbs’s potential for explosive plays is weighed against his inconsistency, making him a high-risk, high-reward option in the betting markets. With no significant quarterback byes this week, considering his recent successes and potential for unexpected downturns, the decision to start Dobbs should be made cautiously.
