Ezekiel Elliott Signing With Chargers

Monday, January 6, 9:59 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed running back Ezekiel Elliott on Monday. The former first-round pick will get a chance to compete for a Super Bowl this season. The Chargers are lacking depth at the running back spot, so the addition of Elliott does make sense. The three-time Pro Bowl back might play a minimal role during Saturday's Wild-Card game against the Houston Texans. This season, Elliott rushed for 226 yards on 74 carries with three touchdowns in 15 games with the Dallas Cowboys. The 29-year-old brings knowledge and leadership, but he hasn't rushed for over 1,000 yards since 2021. This is a depth move that gives the 29-year-old a chance to win a Super Bowl.

Saquon Barkley Could be More Involved in Passing Game

Tuesday, June 9, 5:15 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has been getting more work in the passing game than expected early in camp. During the first two minicamp sessions, Barkley looks to be taking on a larger role as a pass-catcher. Last season, Barkley hauled in 37 receptions for 273 receiving yards with two touchdowns through the air. Over the last five seasons, Barkley has only surpassed 50 receptions in a single season once. It seems possible that the Eagles want to limit his rushing reps and see him take on a larger role as a pass-catcher in the backfield. If that happens, Barkley could potentially see a rise in PPR fantasy value.
