Steelers WR Dionte Johnson, TE Eric Ebron see snaps cut

Dec 14, 2020

Eric Ebron played two-thirds of the snaps and Diontae Johnson less than half.

Related players: JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner, Benny Snell, James Washington, Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson had two early drops in the game on Sunday night and didn't see the field much the rest of the second half. He was replaced by Washington. The Steelers tried to get Johnson going in the second half with some easy catches but in the end owners were hurt by his first half drops. Meanwhile, the tweet said Smith-Schuster didn't leave the field on offense and Samuels led all RBs in snaps. The Steelers did trail much of the game after a pick-six by the Bills so that could explain Samuels' snaps, but the Steelers have struggled to run the ball as of late, too.

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.
