Fred Jackson shaken up late in game

Nov 11, 2012

Bills RB Fred Jackson left the game late in the fourth quarter Sunday with a head injury. Head coach Chan Gailey didn’t have much in the way of details right after the game.

“I don’t know if they’re calling it a concussion,” said Gailey. “I don’t know what the word is. I don’t know if it’s a concussion or not. They didn’t tell me.”

Jackson after being on the ground for a few minutes was able to get to his feet and walk off under his own power. If it proves to be a concussion it would be unlikely to see Jackson being ready for Buffalo’s next game, which is Thursday night against Miami.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson was reportedly suffering from concussion-like symptoms on the plane ride home and was not feeling well, according to Gailey. Keep in mind this is a short week for the Bills, as they play on Thursday night, at home, against Miami. Of course, CJ Spiller would be in line for a ton of work this week and would likely be solid play.

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.
