Jimmy Garoppolo's season is over after suffering a broken foot in Week 13

Dec 04, 2022

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo is done for the season with a broken foot.

Fantasy Impact:

Absolutely unfortunate for Garoppolo, who helped keep the 49ers on pace for a potential Super Bowl berth after taking back the reigns from an injured Trey Lance. Now, it will be up to 2022's Mr. Irrelevant, rookie quarterback Brock Purdy, to keep the 49ers on track. Purdy went 25/37 for 210 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in San Francisco's 33-17 win over the Dolphins. Fortunately for Purdy, he gets the same talent surrounding him that Garoppolo did. How Kyle Shanahan navigates this will be very interesting to watch. But it's an unfortunate setback for Garoppolo and the 49ers, who looked primed to challenge the Eagles and Vikings in the NFC.

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.
