Seahawks RB Chris Carson still dealing with sore foot

Dec 07, 2020

Chris Carson got the majority of the work at running back for the Seahawks on Sunday, but it’s not because he’s fully recovered from the foot injury that kept him out of action for four weeks.

“He’s making it to the game is what he’s doing right now,” Carroll said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. “His foot is still sore but he can play, so you can see, he looked good, but it’s just not 100 percent and so we’re trying to not overload him.”

Fantasy Impact:

Carson ran 13 times for 65 yards and caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in Seattle’s 17-12 loss to the Giants. Hyde only carried the ball twice and Dallas caught two passes, but Carson played 42-of-72 offensive snaps over the course of the game, according to the story. As Carroll said in the tweet, the plan is to not overload Carson, but 16 touches is pretty good fantasy value for owners looking to keep Carson in their lineup.

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.
