Oakland QB Jason Campbell will be tested for concussion

Aug 21, 2011

Oakland Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell suffered an injury late in the second quarter of last night's Bay Area battle with the San Francisco 49ers.

Linebacker Ahmad Brooks slammed into Campbell around the neck and head region, with Campbell going down hard.

Several trainers tended to Campbell on the field before he was escorted to the bench for further evaluation.

It appeared as if Campbell suffered yet another stinger - he endured three last season, including one against the 49ers in an exhibition game.

However, Campbell said it wasn’t a stinger, but he is set to undergo a test to determine whether he suffered a concussion.

"I am doing all right," Campbell said. "I took a knee to the head. When it happened, everything kind of went dizzy, drop out for a minute. It’s unexpected, something you can’t prepare for. I’m just glad I’ll be all right."

Fantasy Impact:

With Campbell saying he's all right and plenty of time between now and opening day, he should be in the lineup for Oakland in week one.

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.
