Ravens cut Justin Forsett, Terrance West is the 'presumed starter'

Sep 03, 2016

Terrance West becomes presumed starting running back for Ravens after surprise release of Justin Forsett. Javorius Allen is the only other healthy and experienced running back.

Fantasy Impact:

The Ravens beat writers called Forsett the "presumed starter" all summer, so this move comes out of left field, though it does make some sense since the Ravens are not expected to contend for a Super Bowl this season. In the preseason, West rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries (4.0 YPC), while Allen gained a measly 43 yards on 21 totes (2.0 YPC) after averaging 3.8 YPC last year. He's a fine pass-catcher, however, so the duo could form a tandem while Dixon (22 carries, 107 yards, 4.9 YPC) gets healthy.

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.

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.
