Should Broncos Country BELIEVE in JK Dobbins' confidence? | Orange & Blue Today

<p>JK Dobbins says he&rsquo;s ready for a large workload, and he&rsquo;s doubling down with a pinky promise that he&rsquo;ll stay healthy all season. It&rsquo;s vintage Dobbins &mdash; confident, fiery, and absolutely convinced he&rsquo;s still a top‑5 running back when he&rsquo;s right. The problem: he&rsquo;s missed more games than he&rsquo;s played in his NFL career. So what does that mean for Denver. If Dobbins does stay healthy for 17 games, Sean Payton finally gets the explosive, decisive, downhill runner his offense has been missing. The Broncos&rsquo; ground game becomes a legitimate engine &mdash; one that forces defenses to respect the run and opens up the Bo Nix&ndash;Jaylen Waddle connection. But if Dobbins misses time again, Denver has to be ready. That means more RJ Harvey as a space‑creator and mismatch weapon, and more Jonah Coleman as the physical, tone‑setting rookie who can keep the run game afloat. The Broncos have built depth for this exact scenario &mdash; but the ceiling is undeniably higher with Dobbins available every week. This episode breaks down both realities: the dream scenario where Dobbins finally delivers a full season, and the contingency plan if history repeats itself. 🔥 In this episode: What JK Dobbins&rsquo; workload could look like in Week 1 How Denver&rsquo;s offense changes if he stays healthy all year What the Broncos&rsquo; backup plan is if Dobbins misses time How RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman fit into the rotation Why Dobbins&rsquo; health is one of the biggest storylines of 2026 Drop your Broncos take &mdash; what does the run game look like if Dobbins finally plays all 17.</p>
