Panthers Beat: Team frustrated with WR Terrace Marshall

Aug 22, 2022

HC Matt Rhule seems to be getting frustrated with Terrace Marshall, a second-round pick in 2021 whose injury issues at LSU have followed him to the NFL. Marshall, who had just 17 catches for 138 yards in 13 games as a rookie, has been battling a hamstring injury that kept him out of both preseason games.

Marshall left Tuesday’s practice with New England after aggravating his hamstring on a deep post. He sat out Wednesday’s session as well as the exhibition.

As Marshall has missed time, other receivers have filled the void, most notably Shi Smith and former Browns wideout Rashard Higgins. But with Brandon Zylstra also battling a hamstring issue, Rhule emphasized that Marshall is needed in the receivers rotation.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Smith has really stepped up with Marshall out and his stock is on the rise. So far, Marshall's career has been a disappointment for fantasy owners. The story said Rhule was hoping Marshall could play in the Week 2 preseason game and stressed the team needs him back practicing. The team is looking for someone to step into the WR3 behind Robbie Anderson and D.J. Moore, and Marshall seems to be missing his opportunity.

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.
