RB Devonta Freeman expected to sign with Giants

Free agent running back Devonta Freeman is undergoing COVID-19 testing with the expectation of signing with the Giants, NFL Media reports.

Related players: Wayne Gallman, Dion Lewis

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman decided to wait another week before signing and it looks like that will pay off for him. Saquon Barkley torn his ACL in Week 2, leaving a huge hole in the Giants running game. Freeman could step right in and earn a nice role here, although it could take a little time to get up to speed. Freeman will compete with Gallman for early down carries with Lewis likely picking up the third down and passing down work. Freeman had his last 1,000-yard rushing season and made his last Pro Bowl in 2016. In 14 games last season, Freeman averaged a career-low 3.6 yards on 184 rushing attempts and a career-low 4.4 yards on 243 touches. He's still only 28, and from a fantasy standpoint is worth adding for owners needing RB help or depth. The hope for owners is he ends up earning more work than Gallman on the early downs.

The Colts announced that Parris Campbell has been placed on injured reserve Tuesday. The wideout is dealing with a PCL injury in his knee and will miss at least three weeks while recovering.

Fantasy Impact:

Campbell remains out indefinitely, so a move to the IR isn't a surprise here. He'll miss at least three weeks based on the new IR rules. Campbell avoided an ACL tear.

PFT: Saints are saving QB Taysom Hill

What are the Saints doing with Taysom Hill?

As noted last week, his participation in offense and special teams dropped noticeably from the playoff loss to Week 1. In Week 2, Hill’s involvement dropped ever further.

Related players: Drew Brees, Jameis Winston

Fantasy Impact:

The story suggests Hill is likely to take over for Brees after this season, but it also doesn't rule out Brees heading to the bench this season if the team's current play continues on the same track. The story suggests the reason Hill's workload is down this year compared to the playoffs last season is maybe the Saints don't want to get Hill hurt, which means they may be planning to replace Brees with Hill at some point, maybe even sooner than later. The team did sign Jameis Winston in the offseason. If you haven't noticed by now, Hill is actually listed as a TE in many fantasy leagues, so Hill may be worth adding to your roster just to see how this plays out over the next couple of weeks.
