Texans acquire Kenny Stills and Laremy Tunsil from Dolphins

Aug 31, 2019

The Texans have acquired WR Kenny Stills and OT Laremy Tunsil from the Dolphins for two first-round picks and a second-round pick, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact:

Another huge trade today involving the Texans. Houston now has a deep threat and insurance for the injuries to Will Fuller and Keke Coutee. They also can finally feel comfortable at the left tackle spot by having Tunsil. No one is more relieved right now than DeShaun Watson. Now, hopefully, he doesn’t get absolutely wrecked like he did last season, which would only help his already high fantasy stock.

In a matter of hours, the Texans have turned Jadeveon Clowney, Martinas Rankin, two No. 1s and a No. 2 into Stills, Tunsil, Carlos Hyde, Barkevious Mingo, Jacob Martin and a No. 3. An interesting return, to say the least. But at least the offense is in much better shape than it was 24 hours ago.

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.
