Texans | Houston signs eight to futures contracts

The Houston Texans signed TE Jerell Adams, LB Davin Bellamy, RB Josh Ferguson, DE Chris Landrum, OG Maurquice Shakir, OT David Steinmetz, WR Jester Weah and WR Isaac Whitney to Reserve/Futures contracts Monday, Jan. 7. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: Ferguson is a versatile all-purpose back who can make defenders miss in the open field. He’s mainly been with the Colts since coming into the league as an undrafted free agent out of Ilinois in 2016. We’ll monitor him in the deepest dynasty formats.

Ravens | Eight signed to futures deals

The Baltimore Ravens signed OG Kofi Amichia, OT Randin Crecelius, CB Robertson Daniel, RB Tyler Ervin, RB Christopher Ezeala, S Bennett Jackson, LB Alvin Jones and TE Nick Keizer to Reserve/Futures contracts Monday, Jan. 7. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: Ervin is a dangerous return man and lightning quick change-of-pace back. He’s mainly been with the Texans since coming into the league as a fourth-round pick out of San Jose State in the 2016 NFL draft. Ervin is only worth monitoring in the deepest of deep dynasty leagues.
