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 Could Still Find Dynasty Relevance After Quiet Rookie Season

Wednesday, May 27, 5:36 AM

Carolina Panthers running back Trevor Etienne was a non-factor for fantasy after being selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but the door remains at least partially open for him to claim a role in his second season. With the team's leading rusher from 2025, Rico Dowdle, signing a two-year deal with the Steelers, the lead back job has been turned back over to Chuba Hubbard, who did what he could to fight through injuries but ultimately disappointed in the first year of the four-year extension he signed in 2024. Behind him on the depth chart is 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks, who was the first running back selected in his draft class but has become a giant question mark after tearing his ACL for the second time in 13 months as a rookie and missing the entirety of his sophomore campaign. With Hubbard one of the least efficient pass-catching backs in the league over the past two seasons, how much Brooks can provide as a receiver will prove to be the single biggest obstacle to Etienne finding work in 2026. Etienne was a capable receiving back in college, and if he can carve out any sort of third-down role with the Panthers, he at least has a chance to outplay expectations as RotoBaller's dynasty RB95.
