    Will Levis Apr 29 2:30pm CT
    Will Levis

    Despite the Tennessee Titans selecting former Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the team is in no rush to trade former second-round pick Will Levis. According to general manager Mike Borgozini, Levis has "a lot of value" as a signal-caller to compete with Ward. "There is going to be competition in every room, and he elevates the competition in that room," Borgonzi said. "That is what we're trying to do here as we get into training camp, to have the best 90-man roster, best competition in every room, and Will certainly provides that." While it sounds like Tennessee wants to make Cam Ward earn the starting role, it would be a shocker if he's not the Week 1 starter in 2025. Levis might stick around through the offseason and training camp, but he could be traded near the start of the regular season.

    J.J. McCarthy Apr 29 2:20pm CT
    J.J. McCarthy

    There have been questions surrounding whether or not Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (knee) was prepared to start in 2025, but the 2024 first-round pick out of Michigan has no doubts, saying, "I know I'm ready to start." The 22-year-old missed his entire rookie campaign after suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee, setting veteran Sam Darnold up as the clear starter all season. The Vikings traded for former Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Howell during the 2025 NFL Draft, but the team has not invested in other notable quarterbacks this offseason. That said, McCarthy is the clear favorite to earn the starting nod. While McCarthy will likely see growing pains in his first year, a supporting cast consisting of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, and Aaron Jones should give him a chance to succeed. That said, he might not be on the fantasy radar in single-QB formats this season.

    J.K. Dobbins Apr 29 2:00pm CT
    J.K. Dobbins

    The Los Angeles Chargers placed the unrestricted free-agent tender on running back J.K. Dobbins on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The veteran remains eligible to sign with any team, but the Chargers will retain his exclusive negotiating rights if he does not. If he doesn't sign with a new team, he would be due $3.428 million in 2025. After coming back from a torn Achilles last season, Dobbins rushed for 905 yards and nine touchdowns. Surely, the former Baltimore Ravens second-round pick would prefer to play somewhere else after the team added Najee Harris via free agency and former North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. This is a situation worth monitoring for fantasy football purposes.

    Jaren Hall Apr 29 1:50pm CT
    Jaren Hall

    The Seattle Seahawks waived quarterback Jaren Hall on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. After the Seahawks selected former Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Hall became expendable. The BYU product was a fifth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings and posted 13 competitions on 20 attempts for 168 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception in three career game appearances in his rookie campaign. He signed with Seattle last offseason and spent the majority of the season on the practice squad. Now, Seattle's quarterback room consists of Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, and Milroe. Anyone holding out hope for Hall in deep dynasty leagues can cut him loose.

    Michael Thomas Apr 29 1:00pm CT
    Michael Thomas

    Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton says that rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant, who the team took at No. 74 overall in the third round in last week's NFL draft, reminds him of former New Orleans Saints wideout Michael Thomas. "(Bryant) has just a lot of traits that Mike had," Payton said. "Especially at the line of scrimmage." Bryant was a surprise top-75 pick because of his lack of speed -- he ran the second-slowest 40-yard dash (4.61 seconds) at the combine among receivers. While the 22-year-old didn't show off-the-charts athleticism, the Broncos think he'll bring an edge to the receiver room and push second-year players Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin in the passing attack. The 6-foot-2, 204-pounder had 17 touchdowns at Illinois in his last two seasons. Behind WR1 Courtland Sutton, Bryant will be competing with Vele, Franklin and Marvin Mims Jr. for playing time in his first year in the NFL.

    RJ Harvey Apr 29 12:50pm CT
    RJ Harvey

    Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey, who was taken 60th overall in last week's NFL draft in the second round, could end up doing it all for the Broncos as a runner and pass-catcher, even though he caught only 20 passes in 2024 in his final season at UCF. "This was kind of our pet cat throughout the process," general manager George Paton said. "His running style we feel he's dynamic. He has really good vision, really good instincts, really good contact balance. Highly explosive. We thought maybe he had the best vision in the draft." Harvey wasn't used a lot as a pass-catcher in college, but that's going to change in Denver with head coach Sean Payton. In addition to his potential as a pass-catcher, Harvey had 1,577 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns in 2024. With home run ability and a three-down skill set, expect Harvey to be the team's RB1 come the fall.

    Tetairoa McMillan Apr 29 12:40pm CT
    Tetairoa McMillan

    Carolina Panthers first-round rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is likely to man the X spot and be an immediate fixture of the Panthers' offense in 2025, according to The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. Xavier Legette, who has more speed, will work out of the Z position, while veteran Adam Thielen will primarily work out of the slot. Despite their immediate roles, Kaye also believes the three wideouts will get the chance to move around the formation. Jalen Coker and David Moore will be the primary backups on the outside. The Panthers took the 22-year-old McMillan with the eighth overall pick to give young quarterback Bryce Young another weapon. It would be good news for McMillan if he could work some out of the slot as well, as he was one of the best slot wideouts in college last year at Arizona. McMillan has plenty of downfield, contested-catch ability, but he could struggle to gain separation in the NFL.

    George Pickens Apr 29 12:30pm CT
    George Pickens

    Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens' name was tossed around in trade discussions last week during the 2025 NFL draft, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, and the Dallas Cowboys were one of the teams that talked about bringing him in, according to sources. Nothing went down with Pickens, though, and now that the draft is over, it's expected that trade buzz surrounding Pickens will cool off. While the 24-year-old wideout was the subject of some trade talks, the Steelers never really seemed adamant about moving him and are excited about the possibilities in 2025 with a 1-2 receiver punch of Pickens and DK Metcalf. Pickens' long-term future with the team is in question, though, as he heads into the final year of his rookie deal. The former second-rounder came short of the 1,000-yard mark for a second straight season, and his fantasy arrow is pointing down after the addition of Metcalf.

    Jaire Alexander Apr 29 12:30pm CT
    Jaire Alexander

    The Green Bay Packers and cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) continue to talk about a possible resolution this offseason, which could include a reconciliation to where Alexander plays for the Packers again in 2025, a source tells ESPN's Rob Demovsky. All options remain on the table, including a release, trade or re-signing. Despite the fact that the 28-year-old defensive back could still be released, Alexander took part in the team's virtual offseason program last week, potentially signaling that he's leaning toward returning. The two-time Pro Bowler has played in only 14 regular-season games the last two years due to injuries and missed the final eight games in 2024 due to a knee injury that required surgery in December. The Packers could use the former first-rounder (18th overall) back, but he's unlikely to return to his Pro Bowl form given all of his recent injuries.

    George Karlaftis Apr 29 12:20pm CT
    George Karlaftis

    The Kansas City Chiefs plan to pick up the fifth-year option of cornerback Trent McDuffie and pass-rusher George Karlaftis for the 2026 season, a source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. McDuffie, who was the 21st overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Washington, was a first-time All-Pro in his second year in 2023 and had 59 tackles (45 solo), half a sack, six tackles for loss, his first two career interceptions, 13 pass breakups and a forced fumble in 16 regular-season starts for the Chiefs in 2024. The 24-year-old has started all 43 games that he's appeared in since entering the league in 2022 and will continue to be a staple for KC's secondary. Karlaftis, the 30th overall pick in 2022 out of Purdue, has 24.5 sacks in his three seasons, with his best year coming in 2023, when he had 10.5 sacks in 16 starts. The 24-year-old added four sacks in the team's three playoff games this past season.

    George Kittle Apr 29 12:10pm CT
    George Kittle

    Six-time Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle signed a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday that includes $40 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Now that the two sides were able to work out a contract extension, Kittle should show up for the team's voluntary offseason program, while the Niners can now turn their full attention to getting an extension done with quarterback Brock Purdy. Despite being on the wrong side of 30 -- he'll turn 32 in October, Kittle finished as the TE2 in half-PPR scoring last year, behind only Las Vegas Raiders rookie Brock Bowers. He finished 2024 with 78 catches on 94 targets for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns in only 15 games played. Kittle is a high-end fantasy tight end, but he's also injury-prone and relies more on efficiency than volume, as he hasn't had triple-digit targets since 2019.

    Matt Gay Apr 29 12:10pm CT
    Matt Gay

    Veteran free-agent kicker Matt Gay signed a one-year deal worth over $4.25 million fully guaranteed with the Washington Commanders on Tuesday, according to his agents. It's the most fully guaranteed money for a kicker on a one-year deal in NFL history. Gay can earn up to $5 million with reachable incentives in 2025 in D.C. In a corresponding move, the Commanders are releasing kicker Zane Gonzalez. In a Commanders offense that ranked fifth in the NFL in points per game (28.5), Gay should immediately be in play as a lower-end fantasy kicking option for the 2025 season. The 31-year-old booter went 31-for-37 (83.8%) on his field-goal tries in 16 games with the Indianapolis Colts last year, but he made just three of nine attempts from 50-plus yards out. He was a perfect 33-for-33 on extra points and has made 85.5% of his 193 career field-goal attempts in six years in the NFL.

    Riley Leonard Apr 29 11:21am CT
    Riley Leonard

    Dynasty | With the 13th pick of the sixth round, the Indianapolis Colts selected QB Riley Leonard. Dynasty Analysis: With how up-in-the-air both Anthony Richardson's and Daniel Jones' respective careers are, this is not the worst spot to land if you're only going to get sixth-round Draft capital. While no immediate threat to the top of the depth chart, Leonard has the athleticism and rushing prowess to keep an eye on if he ends up in the starting lineup.

    Jordan James Apr 29 11:21am CT
    Jordan James

    Dynasty | With the ninth pick of the fifth round, the San Francisco 49ers add Oregon RB Jordan James. Dynasty Analysis: Another year, another mid-to-late round addition to the 49ers backfield. James will add some physicality as the next man in behind Christian McCaffrey and Isaac Guerendo. The rookie shouldn't be much of a threat to either's workload in the short term, but will be an interesting name to keep an eye on, given McCaffrey's age and recent injury history.

    DJ Giddens Apr 29 11:20am CT
    DJ Giddens

    Dynasty | With the 14th pick of the fifth round, the Indianapolis Colts select Kansas State RB DJ Giddens. Dynasty Analysis: Giddens has the requisite size at 6'0", 212 pounds, but doesn't have any particularly explosive aspects to his game that will force the team to take Jonathan Taylor off the field. Expect him to rotate in with both Khalil Herbert and Tyler Goodson, and keep an eye on him if Taylor happens to have any injury issues.

    Ollie Gordon II Apr 29 11:20am CT
    Ollie Gordon II

    ynasty | With the third pick of the sixth round, the Miami Dolphins selected Oklahoma State RB Ollie Gordon. Dynasty Analysis: A year after taking speedster Jaylen Wright in the fourth round, the Dolphins continue to keep speed the most important aspect of their backfield by adding Ollie Gordon as a potential Raheem Mostert replacement. This shouldn't have any impact on De'Von Achane's Dynasty value, but things would have looked better for Wright if he were only competing with Alexander Mattison for backup duties.

    Devin Neal Apr 29 11:19am CT
    Devin Neal

    Dynasty | With the eighth pick of the sixth round, the New Orleans Saints selected Kansas RB Devin Neal. Dynasty Analysis: Kendre Miller ended up getting a little more run as a complementary role for Alvin Kamara in 2024, but all bets are off with a new coaching staff in town. Luckily for him, the team waited until the sixth round to add Neal, so the third-year back is likely still in the driver's seat for the No. 2 role for now, but it makes his Dynasty value a little more iffy than if the Saints just rolled with Jordan Mims and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

    Dylan Sampson Apr 29 11:19am CT
    Dylan Sampson

    Dynasty | With the 24th pick of the fourth round, the Cleveland Browns add Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson. Dynasty Analysis: Behind Shedeur Sanders, no Cleveland Brown had a worse Draft weekend than Jerome Ford, who could go from bellcow to RB3 on his own team in the matter of days. Sampson is an interesting hold but Quinshon Judkins is the real winner here, as he should be the offensive engine while the team begins (another) rebuild.

    Zane Gonzalez Apr 29 10:43am CT
    Zane Gonzalez

    Washington Commanders PK Zane Gonzalez was released Tuesday, April 29.

    Hunter Renfrow Apr 29 9:13am CT
    Hunter Renfrow

    Dynasty | The Panthers have signed free agent wide receiver Hunter Renfrow. Dynasty Analysis: Once a highly (well, kind of) thought of dynasty asset, Renfrow took last year off after two down seasons with the Raiders. Now five years removed from his sole 1,000-yard season, Renfrow should supply some solid veteran depth to the Panthers, but expecting a big fantasy role if he does make the team seems like a bit of a pipe dream. He can likely be left on waivers in favor of a rookie with more upside.
