Packers pass on fifth-year option, instead agree to one-year extension with QB Jordan Love

May 02, 2023

The #Packers have agreed to terms with QB Jordan Love on a new contract through 2024. Hours before the deadline for Green Bay to exercise Love’s option, the sides instead agree to a one-year extension that replaces Love’s existing deal.

Fantasy Impact:

Eight days after shipping Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, the Packers locked in Love for one more year. The team didn't take any of the receivers they were linked with in the first round, but they added a tight end in round two and wide receivers in the second, fifth, and seventh rounds.

If the offensive line can stay healthy, they can easily be a top-10 unit, and Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon are still there as a fantastic one-two punch. Love is clearly still unproven but his infrastructure is probably better than many are giving him credit with.

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.

Texans WR Tank Dell tore ACL, dislocated knee

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%.
