Marcus Mariota could miss final two weeks

Dec 21, 2015

Early in the Tennessee Titans' loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota went to the ground with a knee injury. He did not return for the rest of the game and, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, he may not return for the rest of the season.

Per NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Titans rookie standout Marcus Mariota suffered a minor knee sprain in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact:

Having already missed time with a knee issue this year, the Titans might decide to sit him for the rest of the season, the story said. If Mariota does sit the final two games of the regular season, backup quarterback Zach Mettenberger would likely fill in but likely won't be a great fantasy option in Week 16.

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.
