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.

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.

Dynasty | The Raiders have signed running back Raheem Mostert. Dynasty Analysis: There were few landing spots better than this one out there and Mostert jumped at the chance of possible playing time here. Zamir White was a disaster last year and there was little to no chance of Las Vegas turning to Sincere McCormick as their primary ball carrier. There is still a long way to go before the season starts, but Mostert could very well have significant value next season. His health is always going to be an issue, but this is a big deal in dynasty leagues at the moment as Mostert's dynasty arrow will now point way up.

Dynasty | The Panthers have restructured wide receiver Adam Thielen's contract. Dynasty Analysis: Thielen is still a good player despite being 34 years old, posting a 48/615/5 line in ten games last season after his surprising 103/1,014/4 bonanza in 17 games the previous season. With Bryce Young improving, Thielen could take another step forward this season, especially considering the rest of the corps currently includes relatively unproven players like Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker. He remains a depth piece in dynasty leagues.

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly making a push to sign free-agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp. At first glance, the Cowboys seemed to emerge as favorites considering they have the cap space and need for a standout wideout such as Kupp. Despite that, the Cowboys are not being considered the likely landing spot for the All-Pro receiver. There have been a handful of teams mentioned to be in the mix for Kupp such as the Saints, Jaguars, Seahawks, and Broncos. It doesn't sound like Kupp wants to draw out this process, so he should decide relatively soon. Kupp hasn't played a full season since 2021, but is still an above average receiver when healthy. The combination of CeeDee Lamb and Kupp in Dallas is a nice thought on paper, but doesn't seem extremely likely to happen right now.

The Buffalo Bills have signed free-agent wide receiver/kicker returner Laviska Shenault Jr. to an undisclosed deal. Shenault most recently played 12 games between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers last season. He hasn't done much in the receiving game with five receptions for 36 yards over those 12 games last season. Shenault is better known for his kick returning ability as he averaged nearly 30 yards per return in 2024. He is still capable of making the occasional slash play on offense, but will likely be used mainly as a returner in Buffalo.

The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly seriously discussing the possibility of signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Vikings appear to be committed to J.J. McCarthy as their future starter, but they'd like to add another capable option in case the former first-round pick isn't ready yet. Rodgers has already received interest from both the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. Now, the Vikings appear ready to throw their hat in the mix. The difference with the Vikings is that Rodgers wouldn't have to commit to being the full-time starter for the entire season. McCarthy would likely take over at some point, but having a veteran like Rodgers could be helpful.

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly making a push to sign free-agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp. The 31-year-old wideout was recently released by the Los Angeles Rams after the team failed to find a trade partner for him. The Cowboys have over $40 million in cap space and a need for a No. 2 wideout behind CeeDee Lamb. There is likely going to be plenty of teams in the mix for Kupp, but the Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks seem like the favorites. Last season, Kupp hauled in 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns across 12 games with the Rams. Kupp hasn't played a full season since 2021, but he can still be a viable option in plenty of offenses.

Free-agent running back Miles Sanders plans to sign an undisclosed one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, sources tell ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Sanders heads to Dallas for the 2025 season after a disappointing two-year run with the Carolina Panthers in which he averaged just 3.5 yards per carry on 184 rushing attempts for 637 yards and three rushing touchdowns in 27 games (seven starts), adding 51 receptions (71 targets) for another 302 yards and a TD through the air. The 27-year-old lost the lead-back role to Chuba Hubbard in 2023 and played in just 11 games (two starts) in 2024 due to injury. Sanders could have a shot to see a bigger workload for the Cowboys after last year's lead back, Rico Dowdle, joined the Panthers in free agency. However, Dallas also brought in former Broncos RB Javonte Williams and could add to the position in what is a deep draft class. At best, Sanders will likely be involved in a committee.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini and Zack Rosenblatt write that New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson will be the no-doubt No. 1 target in this offense in 2025 and should have a big season as he reunites with quarterback Justin Fields, who he played with in college at Ohio State. As a freshman for the Buckeyes in 2020 with Fields at QB, Wilson caught 50 passes for 729 yards and seven touchdowns. Fields' ability to run the football should make life easier on running back Breece Hall. Not only does Wilson have prior history and chemistry with Fields, but the primary thing that will make Wilson's fantasy ceiling higher in 2025 is the fact that receiver Davante Adams is out of town. Fields can definitely stand to improve as a passer, but even if he doesn't, Wilson should eat and be a surefire WR1 target in fantasy drafts this fall.

Despite reports that have connected free-agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources have told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz that the Jaguars are not interested. Sources also tell Schultz that the sense around the NFL is that the former Los Angeles Rams wideout doesn't plan on having a drawn-out free-agent process and prefers to make his decision quickly. The 31-year-old veteran reportedly has interest from at least five teams, with the Boston Sports Journal's Mike Giardi saying that the New England Patriots are one of those teams. It's believed that Kupp prefers to stay on the West Coast, though, and a league source told Giardi that Kupp's current asking price is "insane" compared to where he's at in his career. The former third-rounder can still play a key role on offense, but serious lower-body injuries in recent seasons have sapped him of the elite athleticism that helped him earn the NFL's receiving Triple Crown in 2021.

The Detroit Lions agreed to terms with veteran free-agent quarterback Kyle Allen on Thursday on an undisclosed deal, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Allen will head back to the NFC after spending the 2024 campaign as the No. 3 signal-caller for the Pittsburgh Steelers behind both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. The 29-year-old will now join a Lions quarterback room that already includes starter Jared Goff, Hendon Hooker and Jake Fromm. Allen will likely be competing with Hooker for the No. 2 role in training camp this summer. The former undrafted free agent is now on his sixth different team as he heads into his eighth NFL season. Allen began his career in 2018 with the Carolina Panthers and has completed 62.7% of his 705 career attempts for 4,753 yards, 26 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Thursday that they have signed free-agent kicker Spencer Shrader to an undisclosed deal. Shrader will return to Indianapolis after making all three of his extra points in the Week 1 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans. The 25-year-old also appeared in games with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs in his first year in the NFL in 2024, going a combined 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts (zero attempts from 50-plus yards) and 9-for-9 on extra-point tries. Shrader didn't miss a single kick, but it was also a small sample size. He was brought in to compete with veteran Matt Gay this summer after Gay made just 83.8 percent of his 37 field-goal attempts in his second year with the team. Whoever wins the competition should be left to the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues.

The Los Angeles Chargers and backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke agreed to a one-year contract extension worth up to $6.2 million on Thursday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Heinicke will return to L.A. for a second season to back up starter Justin Herbert. In his first year with the Chargers in 2024, Heinicke only saw action in four games (no starts) and went only 3-for-5 for 28 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. The 31-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Old Dominion has already played for five different NFL teams in his seven years in the league. His best year came in 2021 with the Washington Commanders, when he played in 16 games (15 starts) and threw for 3,419 yards, 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Heinicke has started 29 games in his seven seasons, but he's unlikely to see much work again in 2025 behind Herbert, who is one of the toughest QBs in football.

Former Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison is signing an undisclosed deal on Thursday with the Miami Dolphins, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Earlier in the day, former Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert signed with the Raiders in free agency. The 26-year-old Mattison joined the Raiders in 2024 after spending his first five years in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings. He eventually took over the lead-back role from a disappointing Zamir White and carried the ball 132 times for 420 yards and four touchdowns (a career-low 3.2 yards per tote) in 14 games (seven starts), adding a career-high 36 catches for 294 yards and another score. Mattison's move to Miami is a big downgrade, as he'll merely be competing for a change-of-pace role with Jaylen Wright behind unquestioned starter De'Von Achane. He'll be avoidable in most fantasy drafts this fall.
