Suddenly, Browns WR position faced with questions

Aug 07, 2018

There is a scenario—and a realistic one—in which the Browns line up for their first offensive snap against the Steelers on September 9 with Josh Gordon and Antonio Callaway on the outside and Jarvis Landry in the slot. It could happen. In fact, if Callaway is in the stage of the program he is believed to be in and Gordon really is close to returning to training camp, maybe this is much ado about nothing.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story pointed out, things aren't off to a great start with Gordon not in camp and the recent issues with Callaway, who it seems like the Browns were really counting on. It's possible the above scenario plays out and everything is great for the Browns, but there could be a lot of question marks behind Landry if things don't work out.

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.
