Randall Cobb will continue to get his touches

Oct 23, 2012

Packers WR Randall Cobb has become the offense's do-everything guy, and offensive coordinator Tom Clements said the coaches will continue to explore ways to exploit all his talents.

Cobb caught eight passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns and also ran once for 19 yards against the Rams. He is lining up both at receiver and running back.

Clements said Cobb's run was an excellent example of his play-making ability. The hole he was supposed to run through was plugged, so he bounced off his blockers and took the run outside.

Fantasy Impact:

Cobb is emerging as perhaps the best third receiver in the league and while it's hard to count on a team's WR3 as a consistent fantasy starter, Cobb is surely making his case. It's always a good sign when a team wants to get a WR the ball and they give him reverses or runs like the Packers did with Cobb. There are a lot of targets in Green Bay, so if they want to continue to to get Cobb touches, someone will have to see a decrease. When Jennings returns, that could mean James Jones.

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.
