Colts Anthony Gonzalez looking good

Aug 02, 2010

While a few players still on the mend from injury or offseason surgery might open camp on the physically unable to perform list, the vast majority of Colts will suit up. That apparently includes receiver Anthony Gonzalez.

Gonzalez suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Colts' 2009 opener. He participated in some organized team activities earlier this year but was sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Quarterback Peyton Manning spent a portion of his summer working out in Tennessee and was joined by Gonzalez and receiver Austin Collie. He offered rave reviews for Gonzalez's readiness for camp.

Gonzalez, Manning said, "wanted to get down there and get some reps. He and I had three really good days of throwing. I thought he looked good, thought he looked quick. He had a good burst on all his routes.

Fantasy Impact:

Gonzalez isn't on a lot of radars right now but if he wins the slot job could have fantasy value in leagues that start three receivers or use a flex. We're a long way from that, though, but keep an eye on him.

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.
