FB Hunter Luepke Gets Contract Extension

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.

Nicholas Singleton Could See More Work in Week 3

Saturday, September 26, 10:08 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Nicholas Singleton could see a few more carries against the New York Giants after making his NFL debut last week. Singleton was inactive in Week 1, then ran four times for 10 yards against Philadelphia. Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that the rookie is "going in the right direction" and that Tennessee hopes to get him a couple more carries. There may be room for that if Tyjae Spears cannot go. Spears is questionable with an ankle injury after missing Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited practice Friday. Tony Pollard also dealt with an ankle issue this week, but he has no game designation and is expected to play. The Giants have allowed 116 rushing yards per game, and both Kyren Williams and Blake Corum averaged more than 6.5 yards per carry against them last week. Singleton is RB74 in RotoBaller's current Week 3 rankings. Even with a little more work, he is still a bench stash rather than a starting option.
