Jordy Nelson (hamstring) very iffy for Sunday

Oct 26, 2012

Packers WR Jordy Nelson sat out Thursday and would not practice again Friday, coach Mike McCarthy said.

You can believe that after seeing Greg Jennings come back too early and aggravate his injury, they won't let Nelson do the same thing. If it's bad enough that he can't practice during the week, it's probably bad enough that he can't play.

"This is really the first time Jordy has dealt with a hamstring," McCarthy said. "We will probably test him either Saturday or Sunday. (That's) what we're looking for."

If Nelson can't play, James Jones and Randall Cobb would be the starters with Donald Driver and rookie Jarrett Boykin the backups.

Fantasy Impact:

Jones and Cobb are obvious plays, but Driver would be a sneaky start if Nelson can't go.

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

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 7:45 PM EDT

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.
