Summary

DNVR Broncos Zac Stevens, Bennie Fowler & Henry Chisholm Break Down Why JK Dobbins is a top 5 running back in the NFL and the Difference for the Denver Broncos Season. J.K. Dobbins is powering the Denver Broncos’ offense — 323 rushing yards (4th in the NFL) on just 57 carries (5.7 YPC) and three TDs through four games — making a legit Top 5 RB case in 2025. Coming off a 101-yard Monday Night Football win vs. the Bengals, Dobbins has jump-started Sean Payton’s ground game while splitting snaps with rookie RJ Harvey — the balance that unlocks Bo Nix and changes the Broncos’ season trajectory. We break down why his vision, efficiency, and red-zone production stack up with Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, and Travis Etienne — and why he’s the difference-maker in the AFC West race. Drop your RB rankings below if you think Dobbins is Top-1, Top-3, or Top-5 for the 2025 season!

0:00.0	J.K. Dobbins is one of the best running backs in the NFL to start the 2025 season.
0:06.6	And just how far up the list is he? I think he has an argument to be the best running back in the NFL.
0:13.3	But regardless of where you put him, whether it's one, whether it's three, whether it's five,
0:18.0	he is a top five running back to start this season. Right now, he has
0:22.7	the fourth most rushing yards in the NFL at 323 yards. And this shouldn't be a surprise because
0:28.4	last year, guys, J.K. Dobbins got off to the best start that a running back had to start
0:34.5	the season last year. And now he's doing it through the first four games of
0:38.5	the season this year. And I think you can make an argument that he's the best running back
0:43.3	in the NFL. And this is a difference maker for the Denver Broncos, what JK's doing.
0:49.5	Absolutely. Wait, can you make the argument? You said you can't make your, tell me what it is.
0:53.3	Here's the argument. And you guys are all laughing now about it,
0:56.3	but here's the argument that JK's been the best running back in the NFL this year.
1:00.1	And so I know you'll probably bring in a name that the Broncos will see soon.
1:04.5	I'm talking about the first four games of this year,
1:06.5	not like career, what they've done, not who you would take to lead your franchise for the next five years.
1:12.4	I'm talking about right now the 2025 season.
1:14.9	So, JK, I mentioned, has the fourth most rushing yards in the NFL.
1:18.0	Who are the people in front of him?
1:19.8	So, JK's got 323.
1:21.8	Travis Eton has 394.
1:24.3	James Cook has 401, and Jonathan Taylor has 414. Jonathan Taylor leads the NFL in rushing.
