Ganther to start over Cartwright at RB

Dec 09, 2009

Quinton Ganther will be the starting running back Sunday in Oakland, Rick Maese reports via Twitter, a move that Rock Cartwright announced and said disappoints him. (He added that he'd like to go back to returning kicks, but Coach Jim Zorn hasn't said anything about that.)

Zorn confirmed the RB move today and, in other quick hits from the post-practice availability, Zorn said it was his decision to cut kicker Shaun Suisham on Tuesday.

DeAngelo Hall and Albert Haynesworth both are questionable for Sunday, Zorn said. With his ailing knee, Hall, as a joke of sorts, didn't walk to the media group, Maese tweets he was wheeled over in a chair. Asked about returning when he's full-speed, Hall replied that, at 80 percent, he's faster than opposing WRs.

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.
