Ahmad Bradshaw injures knee

Dec 09, 2012

Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw and cornerback Prince Amukamara were both banged up in the Giants' 52-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Bradshaw, who's been playing through a foot injury, had just 11 carries for 33 yards on the day. He was taken back to the locker room at one point in the first half, but did return to the game in the second half.

"Well, I’m sure he is going to be sore as he always is, but he was able to go back in," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin. Rookie David Wilson was in at running back down the stretch, but when asked if Bradshaw could have returned to the game at the end, Coughlin said, "I think he could have."

Fantasy Impact:

Rookie David Wilson carried the ball 13 times for 100 yards and two TDs. The Giants play Atlanta in Week 15, so whoever gets the start will have a pretty nice matchup.

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.
