Chargers K Kaeding expected back after bye

Nov 08, 2010

Sunday's return to Reliant Stadium was bittersweet for Chargers kicker Kris Brown, who was waived after the last preseason game following eight seasons with the Texans.

Brown was picked up by the Chargers on Oct. 20 to fill in for the injured Nate Kaeding.

"I'm glad we came over and did the walk-through on Saturday, because that let me come in here, and whatever emotions there may have been, I got over those ," Brown said. "If we had not done that, it probably would have been more difficult."

Kaeding is expected to return on Nov. 22, when the Chargers host Denver.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice to be full participant at training camp

Good news from Chiefs coach Andy Reid with minicamp set to wrap up: He expects both first-round OT Josh Simmons (knee) and WR Rashee Rice (knee) to be full participants at the start of training camp.

Fantasy Impact:

Great start to the ramp up to the regular season, as Rice should be in WR2 territory if he's fully healthy by Week 1. We saw how much a healthy Rice severely impacted Kelce's ceiling, as they both operate in similar areas of the field, so he should be closer to TE10 than his historical top-3 consideration.

Saints to sign RB Cam Akers

The Saints are signing RB Cam Akers, per source.

Related Players: Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, Devin Neal

Fantasy Impact:

We haven't seen specifics yet, but this could be as little of a role as a camp body. This has no effect on Kamara's workload and would make him an even easier grab if his ADP somehow drops further because of this.

Broncos sign RB J.K. Dobbins to one-year deal

The Denver Broncos have agreed to a deal with running back J.K. Dobbins, adding another backfield option to a rotation that will be a work in progress as they move through training camp and into the regular season.

Related Players: RJ Harvey, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin

Fantasy Impact:

This could (hopefully) be a sign that the committee might be majorly led by Harvey/Dobbins, but we'll still see McLaughlin likely mixing in from time to time, and Estime could still handle a good amount of the goal-line work. Regardless, this is a situation to target on an offense that should continue to grow. Harvey should remain our top priority, but Dobbins is still intriguing, even if it feels doubtful that he makes it through a full healthy season.
