Darrel Williams is No. 2 RB for Chiefs

Aug 28, 2020

Chiefs running back Darrel Williams is the back-up to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic. "In splitting most of the first-team repetitions with Edwards-Helaire, Williams has been exceptional at every task in the offense," wrote Taylor. "He has been the Chiefs’ best blocker during the running backs’ one-on-one pass-protection drills."

Fantasy Impact:

We've seen Williams excel in short work across his three seasons in the NFL, but now he appears to be in a role that will provide consistent fantasy production. The Chiefs are a loaded offense, making any role in that offense one to pay attention to. Williams is a later-round target in fantasy drafts with this news and is an unfortunate injury away from a prominent role in KC and fantasy.

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.
