LeSean McCoy signs with Buccaneers

Jul 30, 2020

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, free agent running back LeSean McCoy has reached an agreement on a one year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact:

McCoy averaged 4.6 YPC for the Chiefs last season and showed that he still had something left in the tank, though the team made him inactive for several games down the stretch and in the postseason. The timing of this signing could be related to Ke'Shawn Vaughn's name popping up on the COVID-19/IR list. McCoy could just be a veteran camp body or Bruce Arians may have bigger plans since McCoy looked solid in 2019. The signing certainly takes some wind out of Ronald Jones' sails and Vaughn will now have to overcome McCoy and Jones to see the field in 2020. We currently have McCoy projected as the Buccaneers RB3.

Chargers to sign RB J.K. Dobbins on one-year deal

Tom Pelissero

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.
