Colts cut RB Stevan Ridley

Sep 03, 2016

Stevan Ridley’s time with the Colts was short.

The Colts released the veteran running back Saturday, NFL Network reported, ending what was essentially a tryout period of less than a week.

Fantasy Impact:

Ridley, who was cut by the Lions last month, had a 1,263-yard rushing season with the Patriots in 2012 but never recaptured that form. He played in nine games, starting one, for the Jets last season.

Fantasy Impact:

George Kittle, and now, Purdy have received huge extensions this offseason, locking in two ultra-important pieces of their offense. Purdy should continue to be considered a fringe QB1/2 for fantasy purposes.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is retiring, the team announced Saturday.

The team said that Carr had a labral tear and degenerative rotator cuff damage to his right throwing shoulder.

Related Players: Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler

Fantasy Impact:

It has long been expected that Carr could have problems getting on the field in 2025, but those problems clearly ran deeper. Shough and Rattler will battle it out for the QB1 role, and it's looking like a safe bet that Shough will handle a vast majority of the starts this season.
