Redskins Beat: TE Jordan Reed returning to Pro Bowl form

Jul 28, 2019

You know who's having a fantastic training camp? Jordan Reed. You know who's not having a fantastic training camp? The people who are being asked to cover Jordan Reed.

The two dominant storylines here revolve around the three-man QB competition and Trent Williams' absence. If you search beyond those, however, Reed's performance through three practice days has to be the most important development.

Fantasy Impact:

We all know injuries are a concern with Reed. But as the story pointed out, Reed's 2018 season was disappointing, but not for the usual reasons. The tight end appeared in 13 out of 16 contests, which was the second-most of his six-year career. However, he wasn't much of a factor, totaling 54 grabs, scoring only twice and posting his lowest catch-rate as a pro by far. We rank Reed 18th, so he's certainly obtainable for anyone who wants to take a chance.

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.
