Devonta Freeman added to Ravens practice squad

Sep 09, 2021

The Baltimore Ravens have signed free agent running back Devonta Freeman to the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

The Baltimore Ravens needed some emergency depth after losing Gus Edwards to injury earlier today. We are still waiting for confirmation on the severity of Edwards' injury, but the team fears that he suffered a torn ACL. The Ravens also lost J.K. Dobbins and the recently waived Justice Hill to season-ending injuries. They were down to Ty'Son Williams, Trenton Cannon -- a career special teams player, and the recently signed Le'Veon Bell at running back. Bell is expected to get the promotion for Monday Night Football, but if he is not in football shape or cleared, Freeman, who was recently in camp with the New Orleans Saints, may get the tap and receive touches. This is a situation to monitor for deep league managers, but for now, at least, Ty'Son Williams is the running back to roster in Baltimore. Williams is our 20th ranked running back for Week 1.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
