Dolphins to Release Alec Ingold

Friday, March 6, 9:41 AM

The Miami Dolphins and 2023 Pro Bowl fullback Alec Ingold are parting ways, sources told Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Ingold had talks with the Dolphins about a new deal, but he will now be released and will be free to sign with a new team as soon as Friday. The 29-year-old was entering the final year of a three-year, $12.2 million deal that he signed with the team in 2023. Ingold has never been on the fantasy map as a blocker out of the backfield, but he should receive interest on the open market from teams looking to improve their efficiency on the ground. In his seven years in the NFL, Ingold has only had 35 carries for 56 yards and two touchdowns in 107 games played. He's been more prolific as a receiver, catching 75 of his 97 targets for 611 yards and four touchdowns with the Dolphins and Raiders since entering the league in 2019.

Trevor Etienne News

Trevor Etienne Unproductive in Hall-of-Fame Game

Sunday, August 9, 6:29 PM

In his first game action of the 2026 season, Carolina Panthers running back Trevor Etienne had four carries for 12 yards and one reception for a loss of 1 yard in the 33-30 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Etienne was unable to show out, while running backs A.J. Dillon (36 yards and a touchdown on four attempts) and undrafted free agent Miles Davis (four carries for 53 yards) did. Whoever the third-stringer is will work behind starters Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks in 2026, so it's hard to fathom Etienne having any fantasy value. Fantasy managers who have him in either redraft or dynasty leagues should consider dropping him for a better option with more upside.
