  NFL | Five players clear waivers    Sun Aug 3, 08:14 PM

Free-agent DB Todd Washington (Cardinals), TE Chris Coyle (Texans), WR Cole Stanford (Patriots), RB Alvester Alexander (Steelers) and WR Jamaine Sherman (Rams) have cleared waivers and became free agents Sunday, Aug. 3.

Footballguys view: The only player to watch here in super, super deep dynasty leagues is Alexander (maybe). He's a good all-around back with the ability to play on special teams. All of these guys are long shots to make it in the NFL.

  Steelers | Jawan Jamison signed    Fri Aug 1, 11:46 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed free-agent RB Jawan Jamison (Redskins). Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived RB Alvester Alexander.

Footballguys view: Alexander was a decent all-purpose back who could play on special teams. Jamison has a small stature, but he's compact and runs with good balance. Too bad his feet are slow and his overall quickness won't make him standout.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed free-agent RB Alvester Alexander (Titans) and CB Devin Smith (Cowboys) to undisclosed deals. RB Curtis McNeal and DE Cordian Hagans were cut.

Footballguys view: Alexander is a good all-around back in the mold of Baron Batch. He's a good pass catcher out of the backfield and a decent runner.

  Colts | Donald Brown lands on IR    Tue Dec 11, 04:48 PM

The Indianapolis Colts placed RB Donald Brown (ankle) and FB Robert Hughes (knee) on the Injured Reserve Tuesday, Dec. 11, and re-signed RBs Deji Karim and Mewelde Moore to the active roster in corresponding moves. Also, the team signed free-agent RB Davin Meggett (Texans) to the practice squad and released RB Alvester Alexander from the practice squad. OG Justin Anderson (undisclosed) was placed on the practice squad injured list.

Footballguys view: Without Brown in the lineup we'll see the team continue to feature rookie Vick Ballard as the lead back. Two of the next three weeks the Colts face the tough Texans rush defense. That makes Ballard more of a low end RB2 or flex play in week 15 & 17. However, in week 16 (fantasy championship) the Colts face a weak Chiefs defense. Ballard could help you win your title if you can make it through this week.

Footballguys view: Interesting to note the addition of Alexander here. He's not an elite athlete but is very versatile and can help as a runner, returner, or receiver out of the backfield.
