Rueben Randle (knee tendinitis) will return to practice

Aug 25, 2015

Giant wideout Rueben Randle should return to practice either Tuesday or Wednesday after missing some time due to knee tendinitis, and he expects to play Saturday against the Jets.

"It is just all about me keeping my body warmed up and make sure I’m properly stretched and not putting all the pressure on that knee tendon," Randle said. "So I’m just going to do a couple more exercises to make sure I keep that tendon loose."

Fantasy Impact:

It's a little bit of good news for the team as they are still without Victor Cruz. HC Tom Coughlin seems frustrated with the lack of WRs at practice as of late so Randle's return should help the cause a bit. Randle had a good finish to 2014, but we think if Cruz is healthy he's going to end up being more of a WR3 on the Giants. If Cruz's injuries linger into the season, Randle could be a guy to keep in mind if you need WR help.

Chargers to sign RB J.K. Dobbins on one-year deal

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 7:45 PM EDT

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.
