Titans sign RB Adrian Peterson to practice squad

Nov 01, 2021

The Titans are signing FA RB Adrian Peterson, putting him on the practice squad.

Related players: Jeremy McNichols, Derrick Henry

Fantasy Impact:

Peterson will need to get up to speed but should project to get a lot of the early down work with McNichols remaining a change of pace and passing down back. Some who follow the team feel McNichols is not an every down back so it's possible Peterson has low-end RB2 or RB3 fantasy value going forward as Henry is expected to miss the rest of the regular season. The trading deadline is Tuesday and it's possible the Titans make another move, but for now, Peterson is expected to eventually be elevated to the active roster. When last seen with the Lions, Peterson ran 156 times for 604 yards and seven TDs in 2020.

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.
