Donta Foreman claimed by Colts

Aug 05, 2019

Former Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman has been claimed off waivers by the Indianapolis Colts, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

Fantasy Impact:

Foreman was a surprise cut by the Texans over the weekend, but had shown poor work habits and Texans' coach Bill O'Brien was not happy with what he had been seeing out of Foreman. Him being claimed by the Colts means about three-quarters of the league did not submit a claim on Foreman, as the current waiver order is the order from the 2019 NFL Draft, not including trades, meaning the Colts sat 26th on the board. Foreman now joins a backfield that is already crowded with Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins. Foreman will have to improve his overall body of work if he is to impress head coach Frank Reich and carve out a role in the Colts' offense.

Chargers to sign RB J.K. Dobbins on one-year deal

Tom Pelissero

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.
