Patrick Ricard News
Tuesday, March 10, 6:08 PM
The New York Giants have signed free agent fullback Patrick Ricard, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Ricard is the latest ex-Ravens player to follow head coach John Harbaugh from Baltimore to New York. The 31-year-old University of Maine product spent his first nine NFL seasons with the Ravens, and he was named a Pro Bowler in six of the last seven years. Most of his contributions came as a blocker for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in 2025, but he did hold the football from time to time with two touches and 11 total scrimmage yards. He also has a little bit of experience on the defensive line, but he hasn't registered a tackle since 2022, so it's safe to say that most of his value comes in blocking assignments on offense. We already know he fits Harbaugh's scheme nicely, and now, we'll get to see what he can do in an up-and-coming offense anchored by young quarterback Jaxson Dart and physical running back Cam Skattebo (ankle).

Michael Carter News
Thursday, July 16, 9:34 AM
The Tennessee Titans signed veteran running back Michael Carter this offseason, and he could have the inside track to the final RB spot on the 53-man roster due to his history with new head coach Robert Saleh with the New York Jets, according to Mark Mihalko of Titans Wire. However, Kalel Mullings was drafted by general manager Mike Borgonzi, and when healthy, he gives the Titans backfield a different skill set. The 27-year-old Carter spent the last two seasons in the desert with the Arizona Cardinals and had 92 carries for 333 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and one rushing touchdown in 13 games (five starts) in 2025 in his fifth year in the league. Carter added 33 receptions on 45 targets for 267 yards and no touchdowns as a pass-catcher. Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are the Titans' unquestioned top-two RBs heading into the 2026 campaign, so Carter will be competing for a depth role with Mullings and rookie Nicholas Singleton this year. Most likely, Carter will not be fantasy relevant unless injuries hit Tennessee's backfield hard.
