Cards think either Drew Stanton or Carson Palmer will play Week 6

Oct 07, 2014

Cards QB Drew Stanton is recovering from a concussion and the nerve issue in Carson Palmer’s shoulder has yet to fully resolve itself, leaving the team with rookie Logan Thomas as their only healthy quarterback. On Monday, coach Bruce Arians said that the team expects one of the veterans to be healthy enough to start this week even if he isn’t sure which one it will be.

“We feel like one of those two will be back,” Arians said, via the Arizona Republic. “If not, then obviously we have to move on to door Number 2 and get somebody in to back up Logan Thomas.”

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say that Palmer spent the weekend in Denver seeing a specialist and thinks they may have found something to solve the problem of his shoulder. The story added that he still needs to go through a full practice before Arians will give him the green light to play in a game. There’s no guarantee that will happen given the nature of the injury. It's a very nice matchup against the Redskins defense.

Chargers to sign RB J.K. Dobbins on one-year deal

Former Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins is planning to sign with the #Chargers on a one-year deal. Electric when healthy, Dobbins — who averages 5.8 yards per carry in his career — reunites with OC Greg Roman and can hit the market again in March.

Related Players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has had poor injury luck in his career, but has only managed 234 total rushes since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This is a low-risk, high-reward move by the Chargers and might give them a runway to wait a little longer in the '24 Draft before they address the position.

Cowboys sign RB Royce Freeman

The Cowboys have signed running back Royce Freeman to a one-year deal. Freeman had 319 yards on 77 carries with 2 touchdowns last year for the Los Angeles Rams. He was 3rd round pick of Denver in '18.

Related Players: Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman hasn't rushed for 500 yards since 2018, his rookie season. This shouldn't have any impact on the team drafting at the position and/or bringing back Ezekiel Elliott.

The Eagles have paid another big-time, rising player. This time, WR DeVonta Smith gets a 3-year, $75M contract extension that includes $51M guaranteed.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, DeVante Parker, Parris Campbell

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense as a whole. Smith will continue his 1b role in which he finished the 2023 season as fantasy's WR22.
