Very fun trade that probably doesn’t impact fantasy too much Tutu Atwell and Jarquez were on the bubble (recently talked up Ronnie Rivers) Jarquez can probably battle for RB2-4 (or a roster spot) Waiting on Jalen Tolbert (bubble) to know how wheels up Chris Bell is early season

Acquired by Dolphins in exchange for Atwell; was buried on Rams depth chart with limited opportunity. Fantasy outlook unclear: some see potential if Ollie Gordon's injury is serious and Miami runs heavy, but Hunter hasn't distinguished himself; Achane is the clear lead back.
