According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, wide receiver Darius Slayton could have several offers during free agency. Fowler noted that several teams are looking for top-end speed on the outside, and Slayton could find a similar contract that Darnell Mooney did prior to the 2024 season with the Atlanta Falcons (three-year $39 million). Fowler also said that the Carolina Panthers "make sense" as a suitor for Slayton. Last season, Slayton tallied 573 yards and two touchdowns on 39 receptions with the Giants. This was his second-lowest yardage total of his career. In 2023, Slayton tallied a career-best 770 yards and four touchdowns on 50 receptions. Slayton was typically deployed as the No. 3 option behind standout rookie Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson. If he were to sign in Carolina, Slayton could push for a starting role alongside Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker.

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, defensive end Chase Young is open to returning to New Orleans for the 2025 season. Young joined the Saints on a one-year deal before the 2024 campaign. Fowler noted that while a different defensive scheme could generate more sacks for Young, the former No. 2 overall pick may opt for stability in free agency. This past season, Young tallied 31 tackles (21 solo) with 10 assists and 5.5 sacks while operating as a rotational piece on the defensive line. Young forced one fumble and added three pass deflections. Young emerged as a star pass rusher following his incredible rookie season with the Washington Football Team in 2020, when he tallied 7.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and 44 tackles in 15 games. However, after that season, the Ohio State product battled numerous injuries. If Young were to return to New Orleans, he could see an uptick in playing time, given his strong bounce-back showing in 2024.

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, defensive back Paulson Adebo (leg) could draw significant interest on the free agent market. Fowler noted that several teams view him as a "top-three" cornerback option in the free-agent class. The 25-year-old suffered a broken femur in October but is expected to be ready for training camp. Before the injury, Adebo tallied 52 tackles (43 solo) with nine assists, 10 deflections, and three interceptions in seven games. He was deployed as a starter in the New Orleans secondary. In 2023, Adebo tallied 76 tackles with 18 deflections and four interceptions. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the former third-round selection's status during the offseason, as he could be in store for a pay increase. If he were to leave New Orleans, Kool-Aid McKinstry would open the 2025 season as the No. 1 cornerback.

According to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, wide receiver Tutu Atwell is unlikely to return to the Los Angeles Rams for the 2025 season. Atwell will hit the free-agent market but is not expected to pursue a reunion with the Rams. During his four-year tenure in Los Angeles, Atwell was typically deployed as a rotational piece in the wide receiver room. This past season, he set a career-high in yards (562) but did not find the back of the end zone. Atwell played in just under 40% of the team's offensive snaps and saw two or fewer targets in 10 of his games. The Rams could have a new wide receiver room in 2025 as the team is expected to pursue a trade for Cooper Kupp, and No. 3 wide receiver Demarcus Robinson will be a free agent. Atwell will likely find a new suitor and be deployed as a No. 3/No. 4 option that carries little fantasy value. If Atwell were to leave Los Angeles, Jordan Whittington and Tyler Johnson could have an increased role during the 2025 season.

According to Sara Barshop of ESPN.com, free-agent wide receiver Demarcus Robinson could return to the Rams for the 2025 season. Barshop noted that Robinson would provide the Rams with a depth option in the wide receiver room that is familiar with the playbook. In addition, with the team exploring potential trade partners for Cooper Kupp, Robinson would be a stable option in their starting lineup. This past season, Robinson found the back of the end zone seven times, which set a career-high. He caught 31 passes for 505 yards. While the 30-year-old opened the season as the No. 3 option behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, both wideouts missed during the season, which opened up targets for Robinson for several weeks. If Robinson re-signs in Los Angeles, fantasy managers should expect him to return to a similar role and be a viable option in deeper formats.

ESPN's Dan Graziano expects the Washington Commanders to be aggressive this offseason in pursuing upgrades on defense after they were able to reach the NFC Championship with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. The Commanders know they have something special in Daniels and want to maximize his rookie-contract window. If the Cleveland Browns decide to trade disgruntled All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett eventually, the Commanders are one team that could go all out to acquire him. If it's not Garrett, the Commanders will still likely go after an impact player or two this offseason as they look to improve their defense, which was a weakness in 2024 -- Washington's defense ranked 19th in defensive EPA this year.

ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who won the 2024 NFL Most Valuable Player award, could be looking for a new contract in the near future. He's scheduled to average around $32 million per year over the four remaining years on his current deal and just made $14.5 million this past season. The problem for Allen is that with four years still left on his current contract, the Bills are unlikely to be in any kind of rush to extend him. However, Graziano suggests the Bills could find some ways to adjust Allen's deal to bring him more in line with the QB market, much like the Kansas City Chiefs have done with superstar QB Patrick Mahomes since he signed his big deal in 2020. Despite falling short of the 4,000-yard passing mark for the first time since 2019, Allen threw 28 touchdowns and a career-low six picks and has 27 rushing TDs the last two years to finish as a top-five fantasy QB.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson has been connected to the New York Giants by a few people during Super Bowl week, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Wilson visited with the Giants in free agency last year before joining the Steelers, and the Giants could be on his radar once again in 2025. Ex-Steelers players told Fowler this week that some people in Pittsburgh's building prefer Justin Fields (also a free agent) over Wilson due to his age and mobility. However, head coach Mike Tomlin's loyalty to Wilson means something, and Fields could price himself out of Pittsburgh's range if his market is strong this offseason. Although Wilson enjoyed Pittsburgh, he's taking a wait-and-see approach to free agency and has also been connected to the Las Vegas Raiders, who recently hired his ex-Seahawks head coach in Pete Carroll.

NFL executives believe Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp will have a solid trade market this offseason because he's quarterback-friendly, makes contested catches and is an extremely hard worker. There are questions about the 31-year-old's lower-body injuries, but he did manage 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns while missing five games in 2024. The Rams might have to eat some of the $20 million Kupp is due in 2025 to facilitate a trade, but ESPN's Jeremy Fowler mentions the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs as a few teams that could be interested. An AFC executive said the Pats would be "foolish" not to look at Kupp, while the Steelers were already interested in Kupp at last year's trade deadline. All but $5 million of his $20 million salary in 2025 is guaranteed in the form of a roster bonus.

ESPN's Dan Graziano has talked with multiple people who believe that the Tennessee Titans could trade out of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft and look for their next quarterback elsewhere. It could mean that the Titans give former second-rounder Will Levis another shot in 2025, or they could add a free-agent option such as Sam Darnold or Justin Fields. If the Titans aren't absolutely sold on one of the top QBs in this year's class, they could be better off seeing what other teams will offer while focusing on other extensive needs on their roster first. And if they trade back to somewhere between picks No. 2-7, they could still land a cornerstone player and be in a position to address their QB need in next year's draft. If the Titans don't trade out of the No. 1 spot, most folks believe they will be taking either Miami QB Cam Ward or Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is expected to return for another season in 2025, but ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that the Rams will likely need to restructure Stafford's contract again. His current salary cap hit for 2025 is around $50 million, so the Rams will likely convert his salary into bonuses again to lower the cap hit and move Stafford's 2025 compensation into the range of a good starting QB. Although Stafford is now 37 and strictly a pocket passer, he ranked 12th in QBR (64.7) in 2024 and can still pick apart defenses with his strong arm. From all accounts, he appeared to be happy with the direction of the team, and multiple sources with the team don't believe drastic changes are coming this offseason. If the Rams do entertain trading Stafford, he'll be one of the most coveted signal-callers available.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams is intrigued by a potential return to the West Coast and would be open to joining the Los Angeles Chargers or Los Angeles Rams if he gets released this offseason. Fowler also puts the San Francisco 49ers in the conversation, as Adams grew up in Northern California. The Jets are going to need to address Adams' situation, as his $38.3 million salary cap hit is untenable. The three-time All-Pro wideout had 854 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games after the Jets acquired him from the Las Vegas Raiders last year, but his addition failed to turn the Jets offense around as a whole, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers may not play out his contract in New York. Adams still managed his fifth straight 1,000-yard season and would be an intriguing addition for the Chargers, Rams or 49ers.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs looking to avenge the Super Bowl loss two years ago. Hurts has been steady throughout the playoffs, balancing efficient passing with his elite rushing ability. He finished the regular season with 21 passing touchdowns and 18 rushing scores, making him one of the league's top dual-threat quarterbacks. Kansas City's defense has been stingy against quarterbacks, allowing just 24 passing touchdowns all season while forcing 13 interceptions. However, Hurts' ability to extend plays and find the end zone with his legs keeps his floor high. He has rushed for multiple touchdowns in four of his last 17 full games, and with the Eagles' offensive line protecting him, expect him to play a significant role in both the passing and rushing attack. Hurts is primed to deliver on the biggest stage.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley enters the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs amid a historic postseason run. He has racked up 344 yards on outside runs in the playoffs, averaging an incredible 9.3 yards per carry. However, he now faces a Chiefs defense that has not allowed a 100-yard rusher this season, and in 18 consecutive playoff games. Barkley's usage remains elite, as the Eagles run the ball more than any other team in early downs and inside the red zone. While Kansas City will key in on stopping him, Philadelphia's dominant offensive line should create opportunities. The Chiefs may force Jalen Hurts to beat them, but Barkley's explosiveness and ability to break tackles make him a serious threat if given enough volume.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown takes on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, hoping to build on his strong NFC Championship performance. Brown has had a volatile season due to the Eagles' run-heavy approach, but when they pass, he dominates targets. He leads all receivers in air yard share (52%) and holds a 34% target share, ranking second in the league. When the Eagles have thrown 25+ times this season, Brown has thrived, averaging 10 targets for 100 yards. Against a Chiefs defense that will likely key in on Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia may need to air it out, giving Brown a prime opportunity to shine. Expect a more balance offensive attack, making Brown a crucial factor in this matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will need to be at his best against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII, but recent struggles raise concerns. Elliott finished the regular season with a solid 28-of-36 mark on field goals and nearly perfect PAT accuracy (47-of-48). However, his issues from long range were evident, going just 1-of-7 on attempts from 50+ yards. His postseason performance has been mixed, making six of seven field goals but missing three extra pointsan uncharacteristic trend that could be costly in a close game. Given how tight Super Bowl matchups can be, every point matters. If the game comes down to a clutch kick, the Eagles will need Elliott to shake off his recent inconsistencies.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will be the preferred back for the Chiefs in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles. Hunt has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to compete at a higher level than Isiah Pacheco. In the team's crucial AFC Championship win over the Buffalo Bills, Hunt rushed 17 times for 64 yards and a touchdown compared to five rushes and 12 yards for Pacheco. The 29-year-old will be leaned on again in the Super Bowl as Kansas City will do their best to manage the clock throughout the contest. Hunt will have to face one of the most formidable defenses in the league this weekend, but he will likely get enough opportunities to make something happen. Hunt's role as the primary back in the red zone makes him an interesting play in DFS and playoff leagues. The Chiefs will need to rely on the run game to prolong drives and Hunt should be the back they turn to.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has blossomed into the top receiver for the team in his rookie season. The Chiefs will rely on Worthy to make plays in his first Super Bowl appearance against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. The 21-year-old caught six passes for 85 yards and a touchdown in the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills. Worthy received nearly twice as many targets as Travis Kelce in the biggest game of the year to that point. All signs point to the Chiefs relying on Worthy again on Sunday against one of the most formidable defenses in the league. The record-breaking speedster has demonstrated tremendous growth down the stretch and has even hauled in some highlight catches in recent weeks. Worthy is an easy play in both DFS and playoff leagues for the last game of the NFL season.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl this weekend. Butker will be making his fifth Super Bowl appearance on Sunday, and he performed well in his previous outings. The Chiefs kicker has attempted 10 field goals in the last game of the season and nailed nine. Butker has also made all 10 extra-point attempts in the Super Bowl. Regardless of the pace of play, the Chiefs kicker should make his mark on this contest. The 29-year-old has been a clutch performer in Super Bowls for Kansas City, notably nailing a kick in the final seconds of regulation to send the game to overtime. The opportunity to impact the game will be offered to Butker and it will be up to him to deliver. Butker is a good pick in DFS and playoff leagues, especially given his consistency compared to Jake Elliot.

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has been a solid unit this season, but they will face their toughest test this weekend. The Chiefs defense must slow down the vaunted Philadelphia Eagles offense to win their third straight Super Bowl. One obstacle between Kansas City and history is the newly crowned Offensive Player of the Year, Saquon Barkley. Barkley just put up one of the most impressive offensive seasons in NFL history and has been nearly unstoppable all year. If the Chiefs hope to win, they must find a way to cap Barkley's production out of the backfield. Even if Kansas City can hinder Barkley's production, they must contend with one of the best wide receiver duos in the league and a top quarterback at the helm. It will be no small feat to slow down Philadelphia, but the Chiefs have the players and coaching staff to pull it off. Trusting the Chiefs defense in DFS and playoff leagues could be advisable given how well they perform in the biggest moments.
