Jay Cutler leaves with hamstring injury

Sep 20, 2015

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler injured his hamstring late in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. He was ruled out at halftime.

Cutler was injured trying to make a tackle after being intercepted by safety Tony Jefferson, who scored on the play for a 28-14 lead.

“It takes a while to run tests,” coach John Fox said when asked if it’s a season-ending injury for Cutler. “Our medical people will inform me, then I’ll inform you. At this point, he’s got a pulled hamstring.”

Fantasy Impact:

There was speculation there was more to the injury, but Fox only mentioned hamstring. Cutler went low on his tackle attempt after the INT and landed hard on his right side and shoulder. Cutler was also stiff-armed to the back of his helmet. Cutler immediately headed to the locker room after the play. Cutler was playing well before his injury and interception. He was 8-for-9 for 120 yards and a touchdown in the first half. Cutler also kept the ball three times on option plays for 24 yards.

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.

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.
