Eli Apple
CB - Los Angeles Chargers - IR
Week 16 Outlook
Availability
The Chargers worked out Eli Apple on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Apple and Jerry Jacobs both worked out for the Chargers. Apple played 10 games with the Dolphins last season.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, veteran CB Eli Apple is signing a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins following QB Jalen Ramsey's injury.
Fantasy Impact
With Ramsey expected to be out until December at best, Apple provides a veteran alternative on the outside. The Dolphins have Xavien Howard out wide, but their other outside corner was likely slated to be rookie CB Cam Smith. Apple provides a veteran option, having started 78 regular season games — and 10 postseason games — in his seven-year career. However, it will be ironic to have WR Tyreek Hill on the same team as Apple given their history.
Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Eli Apple is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns.
Fantasy Impact
Apple missed practice on Friday and Saturday, leading to a doubtful designation for this contest. Apple has been a bit of a liability for the Bengals this season, giving up the highest yards per target against of his career. Mike Hilton and Cam Taylor-Britt will see expanded roles with Apple sidelined.
Eli Apple (hamstring) listed as doubtful for Monday night's game in Cleveland.
Fantasy Impact
Apple has been dealing with a hamstring issue since last week's game against Atlanta. The veteran cornerback looks like he will be out of action Monday, which would likely lead to rookie Cam Taylor-Britt's first NFL start.
Eli Apple is re-signing with the Cincinnati Bengals on a one year deal worth $4 million.
Fantasy Impact
Apple, while being heavily criticized for his play during the postseason, was generally a solid starter for Cincinnati this season. He is signing to a one-year prove-it deal, and he will look to earn himself a big contract for 2023.
