WAS: No. 2 wideout a mystery

Aug 29, 2009

The Redskins have a clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver, Santana Moss, and a top-flight tight end, Chris Cooley.

Nothing dispelled that in the first half of Friday's preseason game against New England at FedEx Field. Facing the Patriots' regulars, Moss had five catches for 56 yards and Cooley had two receptions for 87 yards, including a 73-yard play.

The question is who will emerge as the No. 2 wideout. Moss is small, and the Redskins want more size at the position. They would love to see Malcolm Kelly or Devin Thomas, second-round draft picks in 2008 who struggled last season, step up and displace the experienced but undersized (5-foot-10, 185 pounds) Antwaan Randle el.

It's still up for grabs.

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.
