BAL RB Parmele is opening eyes

Aug 12, 2010

One reason why the Ravens might be willing to trade RB Willis McGahee is their growing confidence in running back Jalen Parmele, who should get a large number of carries in Thursday night's preseason opener.

Most know Parmele as a kickoff returner after he averaged 31.4 yards last season. But the Ravens see Parmele can develop into more than just a special teams player.

Parmele has ties to offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, who was the head coach of the Miami when the Dolphins drafted Parmele in the sixth round in 2008.

Currently the No. 3 on the running back depth chart, Parmele is a near-certainty to make the team.

Fantasy Impact:

While it seems like trading McGahee is just a rumor, for Rice owners it sure would be nice. It could open the door for Rice to get more TDs, making Parmele more of a backup than a goal line guy like McGahee is projecting. Stay tuned...

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.
