Mark Ingram (hand) to miss about a month

Sep 15, 2014

Saints running back Mark Ingram is expected to be out for a month, according to ESPN.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Ingram's expected absence on Twitter late Monday morning.

"Saints RB Mark Ingram is expected to miss about a month with a hand injury he suffered Sunday, per source," Schefter wrote on Twitter.

Fantasy Impact:

Ingram has had two strong games for the Saints and was one of the bright spots in an 0-2 start. Ingram has rushed for 143 yards through two games and has three touchdowns. While he wasn't getting more snaps than Pierre Thomas, he was out-producing him. It's a big blow for the Saints rushing game. Khiry Robinson will likely be more of a factor in the running the ball now and is another RB to add, at least for the short term. Thomas should see more work in both running and passing games.

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.
