Larry Rountree III News
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.
