KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City
Chiefs signed running back Peyton Hillis
on Wednesday, giving the team a formidable duo in the backfield with Jamaal Charles. More…
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville
Jaguars have a new No. 1 receiver and a new backup quarterback.
The Jaguars and Laurent Robinson
agreed to a five-year, $32.5 million contract Wednesday evening. The deal
includes $14 million guaranteed. More…
Shacks’
Take: Peyton Hillis will be an
intriguing back on draft day. The Chiefs
don’t want to use Charles on the goal line so Hillis likely will be getting all
the goal line carries. Kansas City will
also want to limit Charles’ touches so these two should get an even split of
the carries. Hillis may be the perfect
compliment back to Charles being the pounder to Charles’ finesse. Hillis will make a fine RB #3 with the
potential to be a strong #2 if he can vulture enough touchdowns.
Laurent went from fantasy obscurity last year to fantasy star
down the stretch as he and Tony Romo really clicked with all the defensive
attention focused on Dez Bryant, Jason Witten and Mile Austin. Unfortunately signing in Jacksonville puts
him back in fantasy obscurity. With no
QB and no other WR to take pressure off, defenses will find it much easier to
cover Robinson in Jacksonville. Had
Robinson stayed in Dalllas he was a top 25 option, in Jacksonville, he slips
down to a WR3 or WR 4 spot.
