Colts Addai thinks he'll play

Oct 15, 2010

Some pain remains, but so does Joseph Addai's desire to remain an active part of the Indianapolis Colts offense.

The veteran running back is optimistic he'll be in the lineup Sunday night when the Colts meet the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field. Addai is dealing with a neck injury suffered in the third quarter of last Sunday's 19-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

"What's up?" he asked with a smile Wednesday afternoon as reporters converged at his cubicle in the locker room. "I should be all right. I'm feeling a bit better day by day.

"Hopefully, by Sunday I'll be all the way back."

Addai saw limited work Wednesday but did not practice Thursday. General manager Chris Polian said Addai suffered no skeletal damage to his right shoulder when he was slammed to the ground by Chiefs defensive end Glenn Dorsey.

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.
