Larry Rountree III Fantasy Stats

The Houston Texans signed free-agent running back Larry Rountree III to an undisclosed deal on Friday and waived offensive guard Keaton Sutherland in a corresponding move. Rountree, a former sixth-round selection of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2021, will give the Texans more running back depth behind Dameon Pierce and Devin Singletary. The 24-year-old will be competing for a spot on the roster in training camp with names like Mike Boone, Dare Ogunbowale and Gerrid Doaks. In his two seasons with the Bolts, Rountree ran the ball 49 times for 106 yards (2.2 yards per carry) and one touchdown in 16 games (zero starts). He remains far off the fantasy radar.

The Chargers waived running back Larry Rountree III on Monday. Rountree, a sixth-round draft pick in 2021, hasn't done anything of significance since entering the league, amassing 49 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown. Los Angeles has Austin Ekeler atop the depth chart, with Joshua Kelley to serve as his relief. However, the No. 3 spot may be up for grabs, especially with Elijah Dotson making noise throughout training camp. But as far as Rountree is concerned, he probably won't do much on the fantasy end, even if he finds a new team.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Larry Rountree III made the active 53-man roster to open the regular season last year, but he was waived on Aug. 31, a day after final cuts, to make room for Sony Michel. Rountree spent the season going back and forth between the practice squad and active roster, and he cleared waivers multiple times during the year. The Athletic's Daniel Popper thinks the Chargers will be best off rolling with Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley and Isaiah Spiller to open the 2023 season, which would leave Rountree on the practice squad. The 24-year-old former sixth-rounder averaged just 1.5 yards per carry on 13 rushing attempts over four games in his second NFL season in 2022 and remains well off the fantasy radar.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Larry Rountree III has been signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The former sixth-round pick didn't have much success with the team last season. He rushed 36 times for 87 yards with one touchdown in 12 games with the Chargers last season. This appears to be a depth move to have another body behind Austin Ekeler. The expectation is that Rountree won't be significantly involved in the offensive gameplan. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore him until further notice.

The Chargers recently waived running back Larry Rountree III. However, the team is bringing him back on a practice squad deal. The 23-year-old was taken in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Yet, he finished his rookie campaign with only 87 yards and a touchdown off 36 touches. There is a chance Rountree will get another shot with the big club this season. Still, even if he does, he'll likely remain buried on the depth chart and provide little to no fantasy value.

The Los Angeles Chargers plan to waive running back Larry Rountree III after they signed Sony Michel on Wednesday, according to a source. Rountree was a former sixth-round pick last year, and he saw only 36 carries for 87 yards and one touchdown in 12 games in his rookie season in 2021. He was entering the 2022 season buried on the Bolts running back depth chart behind Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley and rookie Isaiah Spiller. Rountree will now be looking for a chance elsewhere to provide running back depth heading into his second NFL campaign.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Larry Rountree III scored a touchdown on six rushing attempts for 12 yards in Los Angeles' 27-10 preseason loss to the New Orleans Saints on Friday. He also added two receptions for 12 yards. Rountree split carries evenly with Joshua Kelley after running behind him last week. He could potentially be involved in a committee if starter Austin Ekeler were to miss any time, but he would compete for touches with Kelley and rookie Isaiah Spiller (ankle) when he returns from injury. Rountree is not currently being selected in redraft leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Larry Rountree III is a healthy scratch for Sunday's meeting with the Denver Broncos. He played 19 snaps last week, his most since Week 4, but had just two carries for five yards. Justin Jackson should serve as the backup to Austin Ekeler, but this is really a one-man backfield at this point.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Larry Rountree III received five carries in a Week 10 loss versus the Minnesota Vikings. The rookie only picked up 10 yards, but was able to find the end zone for a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Rountree drew a lot of hype during the preseason and continues to be featured as the primary backup to Austin Ekeler. Despite that, Ekeler will continue to see the vast majority of snaps out of the backfield. Even if Ekeler were to miss time in the future, Rountree would still have veteran Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelley to compete with for snaps. A name to remember in dynasty leagues, Rountree can remain on the waiver wire in redraft leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Larry Rountree III is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 6 game against Baltimore. The sixth-round pick had 11 carries in Week 4 but only played on special teams last week against Cleveland, taking zero offensive snaps for the first time this season. Rountree is clearly out of the running back rotation in Los Angeles and can safely be cut in redraft leagues. Justin Jackson should serve as the primary backup to Austin Ekeler against the Ravens.
