Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill believed to have torn ACL

Dec 11, 2016

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is believed to have torn his ACL during the third quarter of Sunday's 26-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals and is out for the remainder of the season, two sources with knowledge of the injury told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Courtney Fallon. He'll have an MRI to determine if there is other damage, Rapoport and Fallon added.

Fantasy Impact:

With an increased focus on the passing game in the last month, the Dolphins suddenly turn to a veteran who once threw for close to 2,500 yards and 16 touchdowns in 13 games under center in 2011 in Matt Moore. But at age 32, Moore is now a veteran backup at best, and he hadn't seen significant playing time since 2012 before entering the game. It could mean more focus on the run game with Jay Ajayi and perhaps Damien Williams.

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.
