Fantasy Football Rumors & News

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Kareem Hunt drawing interest from the Commanders

The Commanders have reportedly quietly been making some preliminary inquiries behind-the-scenes on free agent RB Kareem Hunt.

Fantasy Impact

The market for Hunt has been fairly quiet all offseason. He would reunite with former Chiefs assistant Eric Bieniemy if Hunt lands in Washington, where he would join Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson. It certainly would not be the most ideal landing spot from a fantasy football perspective.

J.K. Dobbins sits out minicamp over contract situation

Baltimore Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins told Mark Viviano of WJZ-TV that he didn’t participate in mandatory minicamp because of his search for a new contract, despite head coach John Harbaugh citing his absence as a soft-tissue injury. Dobbins declined to comment on whether he was dealing with injury.

Fantasy Impact

Dobbins is looking for a new contract as he heads into a contract year. He is likely looking for some security as he is no stranger to injuries, playing just 23 games in his three seasons and missing his entire sophomore year. When Dobbins has been healthy, he has been impactful, rushing for nearly six yards per carry in his career. While Dobbins is looking for security, the Ravens might not feel security offering an extension given Dobbins’ history. The situation is worth monitoring once training camp comes around in July if the hold-in continues. If he misses more time, RB Gus Edwards presumably takes over the starting role.

DeAndre Hopkins: Patriots ‘to make a push’ following productive visit

The Patriots are expected to “make a push” for free agent WR DeAndre Hopkins after the two sides had a productive visit Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Hopkins has reportedly departed Gillette Stadium but he is still local. There is no deal set in stone, but there’s still a level of optimism the two sides could reach an agreement. This remains a situation to monitor.
