Ronnie Brown Says He's Healing Well

May 23, 2010

Miami Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown is still recovering from lisfranc surgery on his right foot, and isn't 100 percent. He still experiences soreness in the foot. But he did participate some in Miami's recent OTAs, and says the healing process is going well.

"It's good,'' Brown said. "I've been out there, and I've been in the offseason program, so I'm steadily making progress. If I continue to make this kind of progress, it will be pretty good for the season.''

The veteran runner doesn't rule out being completely ready for Miami's training camp in July.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown is a solid fantasy back when healthy, and is capable of monster games. The game he had against New England in 2008 when he ran for four touchdowns and threw for a score is legendary in fantasy circles. But he has a history of injury trouble and the Dolphins have Ricky Williams slated for a fairly sizeable workload. If you take Brown, make sure you have plenty of other options.

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.
