Hunter Luepke News
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.

Ollie Gordon II News
Saturday, September 12, 3:30 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II (rib) was able to shed his non-contact jersey earlier this week and is not on the injury report for his team's Week 1 matchup against the Raiders. While the second-year running back will be available in that favorable matchup, the backfield rotation in Miami under new head coach Jeff Hafley is still a huge unknown. Star running back De'Von Achane will get plenty of work while Jaylen Wright is set to be the primary backup. Gordon brings a different, more physical running style than Wright or Achane, and the second-year back does have potential upside if he gets on the field. Hafley praised Gordon's all-around work early in training camp, and Gordon could mix in enough to be a FLEX play down the road. For Week 1, though, Gordon is only the No. 78 RB in RotoBaller's rankings, so he should be left on the bench or waiver wire until his role is more defined.
