Bills optimistic Khalil Shakir will be ready for Week 1
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Aug 7 2025, 9:07 am
|
Bills HC Sean McDermott said he’s being told as of now that WR Khalil Shakir should be on pace to return for the start of the season.
Shakir is dealing with a high ankle sprain. (Joe Buscaglia on X)
FFToday's Take: High ankle sprains can linger so even if Shakir is ready for Week 1, it doesn't mean he's going to be near 100 percent. However, it does sound like the Bills will have their top wideout in some capacity to start the season. Shakir went down in practice on 8/3. His value is currently hovering around WR44 in half-PPR leagues.

Jordan Addison handed three-game ban
Suspended for violating substance abuse policy
By: Doug Orth | Aug 5 2025, 10:20 pm
|
Discipline: NFL suspended Vikings WR Jordan Addison for the first three games of the 2025 regular season for violating the league’s Substances of Abuse Policy.
Addison now will miss games at Chicago, vs. the Falcons and vs. the Bengals. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: The three-game suspension is about what most fantasy managers expected. The good news is that it might turn him into a slight value in fantasy drafts and the suspension ends before bye weeks become an issue. The bad news is that managers probably will not get enough of a discount on him to make him a flex or WR4 option in most drafts. During his suspension, Jalen Nailor stands a great chance of being flex-worthy.

Keenan Allen rejoining LA Chargers
WR returns to team who drafted him in 2013
By: Doug Orth | Aug 5 2025, 10:00 pm
|
Reunion: Six-time Pro Bowl WR Keenan Allen is signing with the #Chargers on a one-year, $8.52 million deal, sources tell me and
@RapSheet. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: After leading the Bears in receiving during his one-year stay in Chicago, it is a mild surprise that it took until early August for a team to meet Allen's asking price. Regardless, Allen figures to take over primary slot duties while Ladd McConkey and Tre Harris live on the perimeter. McConkey may take a slight hit, but his managers should not be threatened by the possibility that he falls out of WR1 territory. On the other hand, Harris probably goes from a high-upside WR4 option to more of a WR5 with spike-week potential.

Emeka Egbuka the talk of training camp
QB and GM thrilled with rookie's readiness
By: Doug Orth | Aug 4 2025, 5:00 pm
|
The Bucs surprised many when they used the No. 19 pick in April to select WR Emeka Egbuka. They'd just re-signed Chris Godwin to a three-year contract, they still have veteran Mike Evans playing well and their 2024 third-round pick, Jalen McMillan, caught seven touchdown passes in their final five games of the season. Some wondered if the Egbuka pick meant they were worried about Godwin's recovery from his season-ending ankle injury. But again, they just gave Godwin a three-year deal, so they couldn't be that worried. My takeaway from my time in Tampa is that the Egbuka pick wasn't about Godwin as much as it's about Evans, who turns 32 later this month and has reached the point of his career when he's deciding year-to-year how long he wants to continue. It was also about the need for depth at that position. But more than anything, it was about Egbuka, who is the talk of training camp. (ESPN.com - Dan Graziano)
FFToday's Take: Graziano goes on to say that while the Bucs aren't counting out Godwin for Week 1, they believe there's a chance he could miss a couple of games at the start of the season. He also expects Egbuka to be a big part of things for whatever time Godwin is out, and maybe even once he's back. Godwin appears to be a total wild card at this point, if only because he will need some time to ramp up and become a full-time player, and that's only if he doesn't have a setback. Egbuka is not a player fantasy managers should feel obligated to reach for (at least not yet), but he should be going much higher than his current Round 9-10 ADP.

Alexander Mattison turning heads?
Free-agent pickup enjoying a strong camp
By: Doug Orth | Aug 4 2025, 4:00 pm
|
If the coaches are listening to Tyreek Hill and looking for a replacement for De'Von Achane in short-yardage situations, keep an eye on veteran running back Alexander Mattison. Miami loves Achane and Jaylen Wright, and they drafted Ollie Gordon in the sixth round in April. But Mattison, the former Vikings and Raiders back, has opened a lot of eyes in camp and could be playing himself into a role. (ESPN.com - Dan Graziano)
FFToday's Take: This is the kind of news that virtually no fantasy manager wants to hear. Not only could it possibly put a cap on Achane's ceiling, but it would also make stashing Wright less meaningful. The odds are against Miami keeping four running backs on the roster, but it would say a lot about the backfield situation if the Dolphins choose to go in that direction.

Isaac Guerendo out for a while
RB expected to miss a few weeks with shoulder issue
By: Doug Orth | Aug 4 2025, 3:40 pm
|
49ers RB Isaac Guerendo is expected to miss “a few weeks” with a shoulder injury, per Kyle Shanahan. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Guerendo is no stranger to injuries. although hamstring issues have usually been his downfall. "A few weeks" is a vague timeline, but we can probably assume this injury will force him to miss every preseason game. While this injury may free up Christian McCaffrey to handle more of the early-season workload than most were expecting, it could also give rookie Jordan James a chance to make his case to be the No. 2 in San Francisco. James' preseason will be one to monitor as a result of this news.

D.J. Moore not going away anytime soon
WR expected to be used "in a thoughtful way"
By: Doug Orth | Aug 4 2025, 3:30 pm
|
The Bears will likely manufacture touches for D.J. Moore out of the backfield as well as a receiver - or both. Moore can line up in the backfield and still end up deep downfield for his targets.
Last season, Moore was relegated to hopeless screen plays and looked disengaged at times. The Bears will try to maximize his opportunities in a thoughtful way. (ESPN - Jeremy Fowler)
FFToday's Take: Even with the hype Rome Odunze is receiving this offseason and the additions of Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III, Moore will be no worse than a 1A or 1B option in the passing game. He probably won't run the ball as often as someone like Deebo Samuel, but it should be noted that he has handled at least 10 carries in three of his seven NFL seasons. Despite receiving a ton of hate from the fantasy community this offseason, Moore should be no worse than a serviceable WR2 again this season.

Bucky Irving expected to have big role again
Expected to pick up where he left off late last season
By: Doug Orth | Aug 4 2025, 3:00 pm
|
(The Buccaneers) love (Bucky Irving), and while they also like Rachaad White and have a role planned for him, Irving is viewed by people in the building as special enough to warrant a high-volume RB1 role. That includes pass-catching work.
"His vision (makes him special). His timing of when he's supposed to hit the gas. He's patient, patient and then hits it. I just think he's always looking to score. It's tough to see in practice. Like, last year at this time I was like, 'Eh. We'll see. It looks good.' But didn't expect it to be like it was. He's just tough to bring down. He's strong, he's got great vision, he understands it, and then also you add in the ability to catch, too. He's well-rounded," Baker Mayfield told reporters recently. (ESPN.com - Dan Graziano)
FFToday's Take: Fantasy managers should not be overly surprised, but it would appear any talk about Irving losing work to White - as was the case throughout the first half of last season - should be taken with a grain of salt. While it seems unlikely that Tampa Bay would consistently give a sub-200 pound running back 20-plus touches for a full season, Irving regularly handled that kind of workload after the team's Week 11 bye. Do not hesitate to select Irving in the second round of fantasy drafts over the next month.

Khalil Shakir week-to-week with high ankle sprain
Bills top wideout will be held out of camp
By: Mike Krueger | Aug 3 2025, 10:39 am
|
Bills WR Khalil Shakir is week to week with a high ankle sprain (Joe Buscaglia on X)
FFToday's Take: Shakir missed a week (5) last season with an ankle injury as well. This version is likely to keep him out most if not all of training camp. Shakir led the Bills last season in receptions (76) and yards (821) in 15 games played. This injury will ding his fantasy value and lower his ADP which currently sits at WR44, 86th overall in Half-PPR leagues.

Isaiah Likely will miss time due to foot injury
Surgery to fix broken bone in foot
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 30 2025, 7:40 am
|
#Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely suffered a small foot fracture during Tuesday’s practice, sources told @jamisonhensley and me. If all goes well, it’s an early season return and Week 1 is possible. (Jeremy Fowler on X)
FFToday's Take: Likely is scheduled to have surgery on his foot. The timetable for recovery is six weeks which gives him a chance to be available for Week 1. Even if he's ready for the start of the season, a slow or limited start should be expected. He's lost some of his ceiling but Likely should still be considered a strong TE2 by mid-season.

J.K. Dobbins picking things up quickly
RB eyeing important role in Denver offense
By: Doug Orth | Jul 28 2025, 11:00 pm
|
Payton says J.K. Dobbins’ transition to Denver’s offense has been “swift.” Previously said it was important to get that deal done with the veteran RB in early June so he could enter the offseason break with the playbook. (The Athletic - Nick Kosmider)
FFToday's Take: Dobbins makes a ton of sense for managers in the middle to late rounds in large part because he enters his second full season post-injury and does so in a very good offense. While RJ Harvey is not Alvin Kamara and Dobbins is not Mark Ingram, no one should be shocked if that is how HC Sean Payton uses them. Considering how good the Broncos' defense should be in 2025, both backs could be in for a ton of volume.

Matthew Stafford limited by back soreness
Week to week
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 26 2025, 7:45 pm
|
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is dealing with back soreness, will not return to practice next week as anticipated, coach Sean McVay said Saturday. Even after Stafford returns to practice, the Rams intend to keep the quarterback on a modified schedule. On Saturday, McVay said Stafford did not experience a setback, but that it feels like "the smart thing to do a week at a time with him." (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: We'll see how long Stafford sits, but it would be nice to see him out there practicing and developing a rapport with Davante Adams. At this point, it doesn't sound like Stafford's in danger of missing Week 1 but this situation should be closely monitored.

Treylon Burks injured: fractured collarbone
Expected to miss the start of the season at least
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 26 2025, 2:39 pm
|
#Titans WR Treylon Burks suffered a fractured collarbone here at their stadium practice, per me and @TomPelissero.
Burks will undergo further tests, but he’s expected to miss the start of the season at least. A frustrating outcome for the young pass catcher. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Burks has struggled to stay on the field during his short three-year career never playing more than 11 games during a season. He was limited to 5 games last season due to a knee injury. The Titans will move forward with Tyler Lockett, rookie Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson all competing for targets behind Calvin Ridley.

Joe Mixon dealing with frustrating foot injury
Out an extended period of time
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 26 2025, 1:36 pm
|
#Texans RB Joe Mixon, who is on the non-football injury list, is expected to be out an extended period of time with a frustrating foot injury, sources say.
The Pro Bowler coming off a 1,000-yard season will be reevaluated closer to the season to determine his availability. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Not great. Mixon has handled 285 and 309 touches in each of the last two seasons. Being injured before we even get to Week 1 is an ominous sign. He's ADP will be falling in short order. Nick Chubb Woody Marks, and Dameon Pierce are next up on the depth chart. Chubb comes with his own injury history but has been working as the No.1 back thus far in training camp.

Darnell Mooney out a few weeks with shoulder injury
Falcons starting receiver
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 25 2025, 9:24 pm
|
#Falcons WR Darnell Mooney has a shoulder injury and will miss a few weeks. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: "A few weeks" is going to drop Mooney's ADP as we roll into August. We're get likely to get more information on the specific injury soon. Perhaps an AC sprain? D.J. Chark was signed by Atlanta late this afternoon.

Justin Fields day-to-day with dislocated toe
Avoided serious injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 24 2025, 2:01 pm
|
UPDATE: After medical evaluation, QB Justin Fields sustained a dislocated toe in his right foot and will be day-to-day. Fields avoided serious injury and significant missed time. (New York Jets on X)
FFToday's Take: Having a dislocated toe in training camp doesn't sound great for a quarterback that derives a big chunk of his fantasy value with his rushing ability. Still, this doesn't sound like this will be a significant injury. Bullet dodged for the Jets starting quarterback.

Joe Mixon on NFI list to start training camp
In a boot this Spring
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 23 2025, 10:17 am
|
Texans placed RB Joe Mixon on the Non-Football Injury list. Mixon was in a boot throughout the spring, but he is expected to be OK fairly soon. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: It's not ideal to have Mixon missing the start of training camp with a relatively unknown injury, but it sounds like he should be back at camp soon. The Texans also have Nick Chubb, Woody Marks and Dameon Pierce on the roster.

Diggs set to practice when Patriots open camp Wednesday
ACL recovery
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 22 2025, 8:22 am
|
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who reported to training camp Saturday with other rehabilitating players, is cleared to practice for the first day of training camp Wednesday, according to a source.
Diggs tore his right ACL in Week 8 of last season with the Houston Texans. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Diggs (31) has avoided the PUP list as the Patriots get set to open up camp. This is good news for the projected top wideout in the New England offense who sits atop the depth chart above Mack Hollins, Demario Douglas and Kyle Williams. It would be wise to project a slow start for Diggs but he's comfortably in the WR3 / Flex range for now.

No team activities for Chris Godwin when camp begins
Dislocated ankle
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 21 2025, 1:00 pm
|
Chris Godwin will be held out of team-related activities to begin training camp while he recovers from a dislocated ankle.
Bucs veterans report to camp Tuesday with the first workout scheduled Wednesday morning. Godwin, 29, will work with trainers rehabbing the injury he sustained in Week 7 last season against the Ravens. (Tampa Bay Times)
FFToday's Take: Godwin will be eased into camp and likely see his workload increase as the Summer moves along. GM Jason Licht said "we're hopeful it's Week 1 but nobody can guarantee that". It wouldn't be a shock if Godwin missed the first couple weeks but that's just speculation. Rookie Emeka Egbuka is capable of filling Godwin's role and the team also has Jalen McMillan fourth on the depth chart.

Will Levis out for the season, shoulder injury
Will have surgery on July 29
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 21 2025, 9:55 am
|
#Titans QB Will Levis will undergo surgery on his throwing shoulder, sources say, ending his 2025 season. Surgery is July 29.
Levis has elected to have the procedure to ensure long-term health, based on medical opinions, one that should help him be ready for the 2026 season. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Levis has been battling this shoulder issue since last season and reportedly is still feeling discomfort. Cam Ward is expected to be the starter for the Titans in Week 1 but the team will now have to decide on their backup quarterback. Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle are currently on the roster.

WR Mike Williams calls is quits
Eight seasons in the NFL
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 17 2025, 1:45 pm
|
Sources: Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams’ agent Tory Dandy informed the team last night that, after eight seasons, his client is retiring from the NFL. Williams walks away from the game at age 30. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Williams was placed on the PUP list a few days ago but has decided to end his time in the NFL, mostly spent with the Chargers. His best season came in 2021 when he finished with a 76-1146-9 line. The top of the Chargers wide receiver depth chart includes Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and rookie Tre Harris who has yet to sign his contract.

Suspension likely coming for WR Rashee Rice
Gets five years probation and 30 days of jail time
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 17 2025, 12:02 pm
|
ESPN sources: A Dallas County judge just sentenced Chiefs WR Rashee Rice to five years probation and 30 days of jail time that can be served during those five years stemming for his role in a multi-car crash in Dallas during the 2024 offseason.
Now that the judge has ruled, the NFL can expedite its disciplinary process and Rice is likely to receive a multi-game suspension. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Most in the fantasy football community have been assuming zero games missed for the upcoming season. That's about to change. A four-game suspension wouldn't be shocking but we'll wait for the league to make it's ruling. For now, Rice's value will decline while we'll get a slight bump for Marquise Brown, Xavier Worthy and perhaps JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Najee Harris likely to being training camp on NFI list
Eye injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 16 2025, 4:22 pm
|
#Chargers GM Joe Hortiz said Najee Harris (eye) will likely begin training camp on NFI. Harris is expected to report to The Bolt later today, per Hortiz. Harris has been receiving treatment from doctors at Stanford. (Daniel Popper on X)
FFToday's Take: 4th of July gone wrong. Harris' stay on the NFI list is expected to be short according to Ian Rapoport. The fact that Harris will be missing at least a portion of camp will knock his ADP down a bit for the time being as he competes with rookie Omarion Hampton for touches in the Chargers backfield.

Quinshon Judkins arrested, Misdemeanor Battery
Browns rookie RB has yet to sign his rookie contract
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 13 2025, 10:16 am
|
Browns running back Quinshon Judkins was arrested on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, according to Broward County arrest records. Judkins is facing a charge of battery and domestic violence.
A Browns spokesman says the team is aware and gathering more information. (Cleveland.com)
FFToday's Take: The Browns rookie running back has been charged with Misdemeanor Battery (Domestic). He has yet to sign his rookie deal. We'll wait on further information on this unfortunate situation. Cleveland currently has Jerome Ford and rookie running back Dylan Sampson in the mix for playing time in 2025.

TE Darren Waller comes out of retirement, headed to Miami
Giants receive late-round draft pick
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 1 2025, 11:21 am
|
Trade: Dolphins are trading a conditional 2026 sixth to the New York Giants for a 2027 seventh-round pick and Darren Waller.
Waller is coming out of retirement after agreeing to a one-year deal with the Dolphins worth up to $5 million, per Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Giants still held the rights to Waller which is why a trade was necessary. The Dolphins had a void at the position after trading Jonnu Smith to the Steelers yesterday. Waller (32) had his best season in 2020 and has battled to stay on the field ever since. He'll hold some weekly TE2 value when healthy, but will be the fourth target on the offense behind Achane, Hill and Waddle.

PIT adds Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith in trade with MIA
Dolphins receive Minkah Fitzpatrick
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 30 2025, 11:46 am
|
The Miami Dolphins have traded three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for three-time All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a pick swap, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. As part of the trade, the Dolphins are sending a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Steelers and will receive a 2027 fifth-round pick back from Pittsburgh. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: The Steelers are loading up the season for a one=year run with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Jonnu (88-884-8) is coming off his best season as a pro that saw him finish as the TE4 in Half-PPR leagues. The Steelers were in need of another playmaker on offense after trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys. OC Arthur Smith is familiar with Jonnu from their time in Altanta. This moves puts a damper on TE Pat Freiermuth's upside in Pittsburgh.

K Justin Tucker gets 10-game suspension
Violating he NFL's personal conduct policy
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 26 2025, 3:32 pm
|
Former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been suspended without pay for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 season for violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy, the NFL announced Thursday.
Tucker will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, Nov. 11. (Jamison Hensley on X)
FFToday's Take: Tucker was released by the Ravens in May after he was accused of sexual misconduct by numerous physical therapists earlier in the year. If no team signs him, he can serve his suspension as a free agent. Baltimore drafted K Tyler Loop in Round 6 of this year's draft.

Denver adds J.K. Dobbins to running back room
Dobbins and Harvey expected to lead rushing attack
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 10 2025, 3:36 pm
|
Former Chargers RB JK Dobbins is signing a one-year deal with Denver, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Schefter went on to say: "Denver now is expected to rely heavily on two running backs new to its offense: Veteran J.K. Dobbins & Rookie RJ Harvey." Dobbins has dealt with significant injuries during his career but this move leaves Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin on the outside looking in for touches during the 2025 season.

Nick Chubb signs one-year deal with Houston
Maximum value of $5 million
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 9 2025, 6:06 pm
|
#Texans deal for four-time Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb has maximum value of $5 million, per a league source @KPRC2. Passed physical and good to go for defending AFC South champions (Aaron Wilson on X)
FFToday's Take: The deal is said to be for $2.5 million with a max of $5 million. Chubb will be insurance in case starter Joe Mixon goes down with an injury. Chubb has dealt with serious injuries each of the last two seasons and doesn't hold much fantasy value unless Mixon were to miss significant time.

Steelers finally get their QB: Aaron Rodgers
Expected to be at minicamp next week
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 5 2025, 3:12 pm
|
Renegade A-Rod: Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers informed the #Steelers he’ll fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and sign before next week’s minicamp, sources tell The Insiders.
Finally, a done deal: Rodgers, 41, will play his 21st NFL season in black and gold. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: We've been operating under the assumption that Rodgers would sign with the Steelers and here we are. His fantasy prospects aren't great, especially given Arthur Smith is the OC and Rogers lack of mobility, but his presence should be enough to keep DK Metcalf in the WR2 range.

More shoulder issues for Anthony Richardson
Expected to be back during training camp
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 5 2025, 12:51 pm
|
Colts HC Shane Steichen said QB Anthony Richardson is dealing with a shoulder injury and will not participate in mini-camp next week. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Here we go again. Reportedly, Richardson had some aggravation to his right shoulder last week - the same shoulder he's had an issue with in the past. This will set him back in open QB competition with Daniel Jones. Jones has the current advantage while Richardson's fantasy stock is on the decline.

Derek Carr decides to retire from the NFL
Shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | May 10 2025, 10:43 am
|
Derek Carr has announced his retirement. In late March, while ramping up his preparation for the 2025 season, Derek experienced pain in his right shoulder. Eventually, medical scans determined objectively that Derek sustained a labral tear and also had significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff. Upon consultation with his wife, Heather, Derek has decided it is in the best interests of both his family and the Saints organization to retire from the National Football League. (New Orleans Saints on X)
FFToday's Take: Carr (34) was more than likely going to miss the 2025 season if he decided on surgery to fix his shoulder. Instead, he decides to call it a career and pass the torch to Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener or rookie Tyler Shough to lead the Saints at quarterback. Haener and Rattler didn't exactly light the world on fire last season, both completed well below 60 percent of their passes. Expect Shough to have a good shot a starting Week 1.

Jonathon Brooks will miss the 2025 season
Placed on PUP list
By: Mike Krueger | May 8 2025, 12:58 pm
|
Panthers placed RB Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he now will be out for the 2025 season. Brooks tore his ACL during Week 14 last season. By being placed on PUP now, Brooks will be given time to get healthy after his second ACL tear in as many years. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Brooks managed to play just three games last season before tearing his ACL again. Brooks is obviously off the redraft radar for the upcoming season and dynasty owners will have to wait until 2026 for any production from the Carolina RB. The Panthers currently have Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne in their running back room.

Jaguars release veteran WR Gabe Davis
Played 10 games in Jacksonville last season
By: Mike Krueger | May 7 2025, 9:40 am
|
The Jacksonville Jaguars have released WR Gabe Davis, the team announced today. (JaguarsPR on X)
FFToday's Take: Jacksonville signed Davis last off-season to a three-year deal which had $11 million guaranteed still remaining. Davis never get on track with Jaguars, posting a 20-239-2 line in 10 games last season. He's off the fantasy radar for now while Jacksonville moves forward with Brian Thomas Jr. and rookie Travis Hunter at the position.

Steelers Send George Pickens to Cowboys
Steelers receive 2026 3rd-round pick
By: Mike Krueger | May 7 2025, 9:28 am
|
Cowboys now say they have agreed to terms to acquire WR George Pickens and a 2027 6th-round pick from the Steelers in exchange for a 2026 3rd-round pick and a 2027 5th-round pick. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: During the draft, Jerry Jones mentioned he was working on a significant trade and here we are. The Cowboys were in need of a second receiver behind CeeDee Lamb while the Steelers acquired DK Metcalf during the off-season. This move will be a good fantasy boost for Dak Prescott along with Pickens and Metcalf.

Ravens release K Justin Tucker
Drafted K Tyler Loop in 6th round
By: Mike Krueger | May 5 2025, 4:58 pm
|
Ravens released kicker Justin Tucker. After drafting kicker Tyler Loop, the organization continues to insist it is a “football decision.” (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: It's true that Tucker (35) is coming off his worst field goal performance of his career, making just 73.3% of his attempts, far below the 86% average in the NFL last season. However, being accused of inappropriate behavior with females this off-season likely impacted the decision as well. The Ravens will move forward with Tyler Loop as their kicker who they drafted in the 6th round.

Diontae Johnson finds a home in Cleveland
One-year deal
By: Mike Krueger | Apr 28 2025, 6:33 pm
|
The #Browns are signing veteran WR Diontae Johnson, sources say. Cleveland brought the former #Steelers and #Ravens pass catcher in for a visit today, and the sides then agreed to a deal. Back to the AFC North for Johnson. (Mike Garafolo on X)
FFToday's Take: Johnson bounced around numerous teams last season including Carolina, Baltimore and Houston. The Browns are somewhat thin at the position with only Jerry Jeudy locked in as a proven starter. There's a chance Elijah Moore could return to the mix but he is technically a free agent. Johnson has a path to playing time in Cleveland for the time being.

Titans add veteran WR Tyler Lockett
One-year deal

Former #Seahawks legend Tyler Lockett is signing with the #Titans on a 1-year, $4M deal with a chance to get to $6M. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Lockett (32) was released by Seattle this off-season and now joins a Titans club expected to have rookie Cam Ward at quarterback and currently very little in the receiver room outside of Calvin Ridley. Lockett's days of a solid fantasy WR2 are over but could have some weekly value assuming he's able to maintain a spot in the starting lineup.

No restrictions for Christian McCaffrey
Missed 13 games in 2024

Christian McCaffrey just spoke to reporters. He said he's feeling good and has no health-related restrictions after a 2024 season in which he missed eight games with Achilles tendonitis and another five with a knee injury. He said the attendance today was impressive. (Matt Barrows on X)
FFToday's Take: McCaffrey was limited to just four games last season and failed to score a touchdown after having Achilles' issues during training camp. He's expected to participate in on-field activities once the 49ers begin practice.

Cardinals make big investment in TE Trey McBride
Under contract with Arizona through the 2029 season

Trey McBride agreed to a four-year extension, with $43 million guaranteed, agents Mike Swenson, CJ LaBoy and Doug Hendrickson told ESPN's Adam Schefter. McBride, who's coming off his first Pro Bowl season, will now be under contract with Arizona through the 2029 season. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: McBride has finished as the TE3 and TE10 the last two seasons in Half-PPR leagues despite low TD numbers (2,3). His 147 targets last season was second only to Brock Bowers. A spike in touchdowns could easily make McBride the No.1 overall fantasy tight end in 2025.
