Connor Heyward News
Thursday, March 12, 3:26 PM
The Las Vegas Raiders have signed fullback Connor Heyward to a two-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The contract includes $2 million fully guaranteed. Heyward hit free agency earlier this week upon the expiration of his four-year rookie deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's scored a touchdown in three of his four pro seasons, and he posted a respectable 449 scrimmage yards during his time in the black and gold. Of course, handling the football is just a minor component of his role as a fullback. He's far more involved as a blocker, creating opportunities for the quarterback or running backs. He'll now take his talents to Las Vegas, where he'll be tasked with blocking for a young offense that features Ashton Jeanty and will also likely include projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

Emanuel Wilson News
Friday, October 2, 5:44 PM
Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson is in line for a big role in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Seahawks will be without rookie running back Jadarian Price (chest), who picked up two DNPs to end the practice week. Wilson has been the preferred running back for carry volume behind Price throughout this season. Wilson has not been a particularly efficient runner this season, but he did manage 92 yards on 21 carries in Week 2 mop-up duty. Seattle figures to play from ahead for most of their matchup with the Chargers this weekend, which should provide Wilson with plenty of chances for touches. Wilson is unlikely to see much receiving volume this week, but he is the Seahawks' goal line back. As such, he should have a chance to fall into the end zone this weekend and accumulate decent yardage. He is a risky play because of his lack of passing game usage, but he will be the starting running back on a good offense this week. Wilson can be best viewed as a flex play in Week 4.
