Who Should I Start? Hunter Luepke or Kalel Mullings

Wednesday, September 3, 9:47 AM

The Dallas Cowboys and fullback Hunter Luepke have agreed to a two-year contract extension worth up to $7.5 million, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo. The deal makes Luepke the second-highest paid fullback in the NFL, joining San Francisco's Kyle Juszczyk, behind Miami Dolphins' Alec Ingold. The third-year pro out of North Dakota State is coming off the best season of his career in 2024, when he tallied 149 yards and a touchdown on 24 touches. Beyond his production, Luepke proved his value as a versatile contributor, excelling as a runner, receiver, and blocker in the Cowboys' offense. With the extension secured, Luepke is expected to remain Dallas's starting fullback as the team prepares for a critical Week 1 divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

According to team reporter Jim Wyatt, Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) won't be activated for Sunday's contest against the Houston Texans. The rookie practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week. Although he's seemingly nearing a return from his lengthy stint on the IR because of an ankle injury, it appears he'll need at least one more game before potentially getting the green light to get on the field. Mullings didn't log a snap in any of his appearances this season. As long as Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are in the mix, that isn't expected to change even when he's cleared to come off the Injured Reserve list. As of now, the 23-year-old has no value for redraft participants. On the other hand, he can remain stashed in dynasty formats.
