Broncos sign RB Stevan Ridley

Jul 27, 2017

With Devontae Booker sidelined for about six weeks with a small fracture in his wrist, the Broncos signed free-agent running back Stevan Ridley to join the competition in the backfield.

Ridley, a seven-year veteran, was a featured back for the Patriots from 2011 until 2014, racking up 2,817 rushing yards over four seasons. In his best season, he totaled 1,263 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground. His final season with the Patriots was cut short by a season-ending ACL and MCL tear in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact:

In the years since, Ridley has spent stints with the Jets, Lions, Colts and Falcons.

Texans willling to trade Deshaun Watson for high price

The #Texans are now willing to listen — and have been for some time — to trade offers for star QB Deshaun Watson, multiple sources tell me and @RapSheet. But the price is high for a player of his caliber, and should be. It’d likely take at least three first-round picks and more.

Fantasy Impact:

After months of denying trade talks, we finally have some action from the Texans. Miami, Denver, and Philly have reported interest in Deshaun Watson, but it's still unclear what the NFL will do for any disciplinary action on his pending legal situation.

The #Bears are trading WR Anthony Miller to the #Texans, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Long rumored to be dealt, the former second-round pick gets a fresh start.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a fresh start for Anthony Miller, but this trade also shows the that Bears are confident in Darnell Mooney. Miller will have to get by Randall Cobb for slot work though, so expectations shouldn't be too high for Miller's fantasy season in 2021.

I'm told free agent WR Dede Westbrook is planning to sign a 1-year deal with the #Vikings on Sunday, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Dede Westbrook suffered a torn ACL in Week 7 last season, ending his four-year stint in Jacksonville with a 160-1,720-9 line. He'll probably compete with Olabisi Johnson in training camp for their WR3 spot.
