Dynasty | The Chiefs have re-signed running back Kareem Hunt. Dynasty Analysis: Hunt had a good run with the Chiefs last season, posting 728 rushing yards and seven touchdowns after taking over for the injured Isiah Pacheco. He was only able to post 23 catches in 13 games and hardly looked like the explosive player we once saw. Still, he proved to be capable and that's all the Chiefs needed. With Pacheco back and Elijah Mitchell in the fold, this entire backfield looks like one to avoid in dynasty leagues. Hunt still has value, but this really does look like a two or three-headed mess next season.

Dynasty | The Bucs have re-signed wide receiver Sterling Shepard. Dynasty Analysis: The long-time Giant posted a 32/334/1 line for Tampa Bay in the regular season and failed to catch a pass in their lone postseason contest last season. Still, he's a veteran target who can fill in for Mike Evans or Chris Godwin should they miss time. From a dynasty perspective, Shepard is far from the player he once was and should honestly be left on waivers for the time being.

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that both defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi and defensive end Michael Hoecht will face six-game suspensions to begin the 2025 season for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. Beane said the Bills knew about Hoecht when they signed him as a free agent, but they were unaware of Ogunjobi's pending suspension when they signed him this week. Buffalo inked Ogunjobi to a one-year, $8.3 million deal and signed Hoecht to a three-year deal in free agency. In addition to Ogunjobi and Hoecht, the Bills also added Pro Bowl pass-rusher Joey Bosa in free agency after he was cut by the Los Angeles Chargers to help replace Von Miller, who the Bills cut right before the start of the new league year. The team will be hoping Bosa, Greg Rousseau, Ed Oliver and others can step up early in the year with Ogunjobi and Hoecht facing lengthy suspensions.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals have made "significant progress on massive contract extensions" regarding wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Per Rapoport, both players could have new contracts over the coming days. Quarterback Joe Burrow has advocated not splitting up the star wideouts, and he could get his wish granted in short order. Cincinnati has already franchise-tagged Higgins twice, so their only option is to pay, trade, or let him walk. More so, they've put off signing Chase to the bank-breaking deal he's deservedly owed as the price tag continues to rise after his stellar triple-crown winning 2024. It'd be an excellent move for the Bengals. However, the trick lies in not financially handicapping themselves for years to come. Rapoport notes there is still work to be done, but the ramifications of this situation only stand to benefit the team for the time being.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to re-sign wide receiver Ben Skowronek to an undisclosed deal. The NFL's Ian Rapoport reported the news. The wideout found his way onto Pittsburgh's roster in mid-September after failing to become a member of the Texans' 53-man squad, but an early-season shoulder injury forced him to injured reserve, and he missed six games. Upon his return in Week 10, Skowronek surpassed 20 snaps in a single contest on just one occasion, totaling five catches and 69 yards in ten appearances. The Notre Dame product will serve as roster padding in the Steelers' WR corps, though he's likely to play a role on special teams. Additionally, Skowronek has experience as a fullback from his time spent with Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams, providing a versatile roster piece for Pittsburgh.

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed with former Green Bay Packers linebacker Eric Wilson on a new contract. The terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. Wilson is heading back to Minnesota, where he started his career as an undrafted free agent in 2017. The 30-year-old had a breakout season in 2020, recording 121 tackles and three sacks over 15 games in his last stint with the team. However, he's yet to eclipse 63 takedowns in any other season (2024). In addition to his work on the defensive side of the ball, the Cincinnati product has played 1,942 snaps on special teams over his eight-year career. He figures to serve as depth in Minnesota's linebacker room. The Vikings have made a slew of acquisitions across their offensive and defensive fronts in 2025 and look to be competitive again in a tough NFC North.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Miami Dolphins have reached an agreement with former Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown on a one-year contract. The financial terms have not been disclosed. The 30-year-old will join his sixth NFL team since signing with the Las Vegas (Oakland) Raiders in 2016 as an undrafted free agent. Brown was the third-leading snap-getter for the Seahawks in 2024 (264), though it only amounted to eight receptions and 65 scoreless yards across 15 games. The Oregon product presents as a depth piece for Miami, as he'll likely compete for playing time with fellow tight end Julian Hill behind Jonnu Smith, who led the team in receptions a season ago.

The Philadelphia Eagles have been open to trade talks involving defensive end Bryce Huff, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Huff was one of last year's big free-agent signings but saw limited playing time in 2024 due to the team's deep defensive-line rotation. The 26-year-old signed a three-year, $51.1 million deal last offseason but played in only 12 regular-season games (six starts) -- he missed five games with a wrist injury -- and recorded 13 tackles (five solo), 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble in his first season with the team. Huff never had more than three tackles in a game and didn't live up to his bloated contract in 2024. He could have a greater impact in 2025 if he stays with the Eagles and avoids injuries, but Philly is trying to see what they can get for Huff on the trade market. Huff spent the first four years of his NFL career with the New York Jets and he has 20 career sacks in 66 games (13 starts).

The Kansas City Chiefs are re-signing veteran running back Kareem Hunt to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with incentives on Friday, a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hunt began last year on the street before he reunited with the Chiefs when starting RB Isaiah Pacheco went down with an early-season injury. The 29-year-old ended up being a big waiver-wire pickup for fantasy managers, as he went on to rush for 728 yards -- his most since 2020 with the Cleveland Browns -- and seven touchdowns on 200 rushing attempts in 13 regular-season games (eight starts). Hunt also added 23 catches for 176 yards through the air. It was a nice career resurgence for Hunt, who started his career with two seasons in KC back in 2017-18. However, with Pacheco healthy and the team bringing in Elijah Mitchell in free agency, Hunt could be the No. 3 back to open the 2025 season.

Free-agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been asking for as much as $15 million per year on the open market, sources tell The Athletic's Jeff Howe. However, Howe writes that it sounds as though the former Los Angeles Rams wideout would take less for a preferred destination -- it's been reported that he'd like to stay on the West Coast. The 31-year-old doesn't want a long, drawn-out free-agent process and should pick a new team sooner than later, with it being reported that at least five teams are interested. The Jacksonville Jaguars are not one of those teams, but the receiver-needy New England Patriots have reached out. It has also been reported that the Dallas Cowboys are interested, although they aren't considered the front-runners. Kupp has lost a step or two due to lower-body injuries in recent seasons, but the former Pro Bowler could still have fantasy value in the right situation.

The Houston Texans restructured the contract of new wide receiver Christian Kirk on Friday to lower his salary-cap figure for the 2025 season, league sources told KPRC's Aaron Wilson. Kirk was originally due a $15.5 million base salary that was converted into a $14 million signing bonus while lowering his base salary to the league minimum of $1.17 million. The move creates around $12 million in salary-cap savings for the Texans. Houston had already restructured the contracts for receiver Nico Collins and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, and they are expected to do more restructures to Denico Autry's and Danielle Hunter's contracts. The 28-year-old Kirk ended last year on Injured Reserve due to a broken collarbone but was acquired in a trade with the Jaguars to provide the Texans with a No. 2 wideout behind Nico Collins. With Tank Dell (knee) potentially missing all of 2025, Kirk has a clear path to WR3 value in fantasy in his new home if he's healthy.

Free-agent wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) is visiting with the Minnesota Vikings on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Moore, a former second-round selection (49th overall) by the Arizona Cardinals in 2021 out of Purdue, spent all of the 2024 season on Injured Reserve due to a non-contact knee injury that he suffered back in a training camp practice with the Atlanta Falcons. The 24-year-old pass-catcher has played in three seasons in the NFL (all with Arizona) and has tallied 135 catches on 182 targets for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns (one each year) in 39 games (23 starts). The Vikings already have one of the top pass-catching duos in the league with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but they could add Moore for some depth alongside slot man Jalen Nailor. Moore could have lost a step due to his knee injury and would be fighting an uphill battle for fantasy relevance if he signs in Minnesota.

The Detroit Lions announced on Friday that they re-signed wide receiver Tim Patrick to an undisclosed deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. After missing all of the 2022 and 2023 seasons due to devastating injuries while with the Denver Broncos, Patrick latched on with Detroit's practice squad last fall and ended up playing in 16 regular-season games (nine starts) while contributing 33 catches on 44 targets for 394 yards and three touchdowns as the No. 3 wideout behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. The 31-year-old will return to a high-powered Lions offense that remains relatively unchained outside of a new offensive coordinator. Patrick could have some decent games again for the Lions in 2025, but unless St. Brown or Williams miss extended time due to injury, he'll be hard to justify as a flex option in standard 12-team fantasy leagues.

A day after adding quarterback Gardner Minshew II to the quarterback room, the Kansas City Chiefs re-signed QB Bailey Zappe to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Zappe began last season with the Kansas City Chiefs but eventually joined the Cleveland Browns and started the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, going 16-for-31 for 170 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The 25-year-old former fourth-round pick (137th overall) by the New England Patriots in 2022 out of Western Kentucky will open the 2025 season as Kansas City's third-stringer behind Mahomes and Minshew. In his three years in the NFL, he has completed 62.1% of his 335 pass attempts for 2,223 yards, 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

Dynasty | The Lions have re-signed wide receiver Tim Patrick. Dynasty Analysis: The oft-injured Patrick missed all of 2022 and 2023 but returned last season to post a 33/394/3 line for the Lions. His days of dynasty relevance are likely over as he'll be no better than the third receiver in Detroit. At this point Patrick should be a player on a watch list more than a dynasty roster.

Dynasty | The Cowboys have signed running back Miles Sanders. Dynasty Analysis: Dallas has been the most popular mock draft landing spot for running backs like Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton, but have now signed both Sanders and Javonte Williams this off-season. While this may not necessarily take them out of the running for one of those premier running backs in the upcoming draft, it could also set them up to have one of the most uninspiring backfields in the league if they stand pat. Sanders was a free agent disaster for Carolina, eventually losing his job to Chuba Hubbard. However, this landing spot puts him at least back on the radar for the moment.

Dynasty | The Vikings are reportedly now considering the signing of Aaron Rodgers. Dynasty Analysis: Well, that escalated quickly. Rodgers was said to be deciding between joining the Giants or Steelers, but now the Vikings could be in play. This would be a curious destination as Minnesota really does seem ready to hand the reigns over to JJ McCarthy and it seems rather unlikely Rodgers would want to join a team to have anything less than a total stranglehold on the starting job. In the end, Rodgers is getting what he craves - attention. We should have a resolution on this soon enough, but he still looks like an aging QB2 regardless of where he may land.

Dynasty | The Chiefs have signed quarterback Bailey Zappe. Dynasty Analysis: Once looked upon as the possible future in New England, Zappe has fallen back to Earth in short order after failing to live up to the hype with the Patriots for more than a few games, then looking pretty pedestrian in his time with the Browns. At this point, it looks like he'll compete with Gardner Minshew for the backup job but that seems like a competition he'll surely come up short in. While he merits some watching, Zappe should remain on waiver wires.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | The Chiefs have signed quarterback Gardner Minshew. Dynasty Analysis: Kansas City will pay Minshew to essentially hold a clipboard and work on his mustache next season because he has a below zero chance to steal anything meaningful from Patrick Mahomes. Still, this is a good signing as Minshew has always proven to be a capable backup and spot-starter when needed. He'll enter free agency next season and could even be a trade target next season if a team loses their starter. However, his dynasty allure has long since evaporated.

Dynasty | The Washington Commanders have re-signed wide receiver Noah Brown. Dynasty Analysis: The long-time Cowboy looked like a potential breakout player in Houston when he posted a total of 325 receiving yards in just two games in the middle of the 2023 season. Unbelievably, he has just 1,675 receiving yards in the other 85 games he's played in his career. He had just 35 catches for 453 yards last year with one single touchdown - the Hail Mary that beat the Bears and ignited the playoff run for the Commanders. Simply put, Brown has had a very interesting career. Unfortunately, it seems he's really more of a luxury than anything else and it's hard to see him carving out any kind of dynasty value. He should really be on waiver wires at this point, especially with both Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel soaking up targets in Washington.
