49ers "couldn't be happier" with Randy Moss

May 26, 2012

49ers WR Randy Moss arrived in Santa Clara on April 30 for the start of HC Jim Harbaugh’s so-called “Football School,” a precursor to the OTA sessions and minicamps currently taking place.

Harbaugh does not take a leisurely, dip-a-toe-in-the-pool approach to spring practices. His “Football School” sessions were fast-paced, intense and eye-opening for newcomers not used to his hyperactive style.

Moss didn’t complain and more than kept up. In fact, Harbaugh said the 35-year-old has been like another coach on the field.

“He’s not a B.S.-er,” Harbaugh said. “He’s rock-solid. We just couldn’t be happier with him.”

Fantasy Impact:

It's a big "if," but if Moss can continue to be a professional, he can certainly help the 49ers' pass offense, which has also added Mario Manningham and A.J. Jenkins this offseason. This is good news for QB Alex Smith, who looks like he'll have a longer leash in the passing game in 2012.

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.
