Fantasy Football News & Latest NFL Updates

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Saints QB Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that might cost him the upcoming season.

Former Texas WR Isaiah Bond turned himself in to the Frisco Police Department on Thursday for a sexual assault warrant. He was released after posting bail and issued a statement denying the charges against him.

The NFL has requested the audio of the 911 call placed by Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill’s mother-in-law earlier this week, Fox Sports' Andy Slater reports. Police were called to Hill's condo on Monday for an alleged "assault in progress." Hill's mother-in-law reportedly told the cops that Hill had gotten aggressive with his wife. But there were no signs of violence, and the police left without arresting Hill or filing charges. He won't face any legal consequences, but it sounds like he's not safe from league discipline yet.

The Browns and QB Joe Flacco agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal, his agent tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Flacco can earn as much as $13 million with incentives. Flacco returns to Cleveland, where he won Comeback Player of the Year in 2023. He averaged 323 yards across five games that year, tossing 13 TDs vs. eight INTs in a pass-heavy attack. Flacco made six starts with seven total appearances for the Colts last season, averaging 7.1 yards per attempt with 12 TDs and seven INTs. He turned 40 in January.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence said Wednesday that he expects to be a full-go for the start of training camp. He's rehabbing from December surgery to repair an AC joint injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Lawrence plans to throw on a limited basis in OTAs.

WR Allen Lazard has agreed to a contract restructure with the Jets, according to multiple reports. The wideout was scheduled to get $11 million this year. Instead, he'll make $8.5 million less -- with $1.75 million guaranteed. Lazard will also become a free agent in 2026 instead of 2027.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray said in a recent interview that he "feels like" he needs to run more in 2025. "I'm open to running more next year," he added. "Just because it's such a weapon. ... It's part of the emphasis going into next season."

The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider named QB Bo Nix, RB Audric Estime, and WR Troy Franklin as potential “breakout candidates” in 2025. Nix finished QB8 in fantasy scoring as a rookie, so you could argue he’s not a fit here. But Estime and Franklin both underwhelmed in Year 1, so there’s room for growth.

The Jaguars announced Monday that they've exercised the fifth-year option on the rookie contract for Edge Travon Walker. That'll keep him with the team through at least 2026. Walker's heading into his fourth season this fall.

The Rams surprised -- at least a bit -- by re-signing WR Tutu Atwell to a one-year, $10 million contract before he could reach unrestricted free agency this offseason. HC Sean McVay has since said that Atwell will be on the field "a lot more," which makes sense. But the team also added WR Davante Adams just three days after the Atwell deal. So it's fair to wonder how much room the 25-year-old wideout can actually find.

Panthers HC Dave Canales said the kinds of things you'd expect a coach to say about his WRs at last week's NFL meetings in Florida. "I love the guys that we have," he told the Charlotte Observer. "And I'm excited about this year." He specifically talked about how he thinks Xavier Legette can become a DK Metcalf-type playmaker. But the way Canales talked about Legette suggested the coach might think that development will take time.

Defense Attorney and FootballGuys writer Drew Davenport believes there's a "better than even chance" that Chiefs WR Rashee Rice will not be suspended in 2025 for his role in a street-racing crash a little over a year ago. Davenport points out that Rice's case has not been indicted yet, so the legal process might not be wrapped up until after the coming season.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid told ESPN's Adam Teicher this week that he thinks RB Isiah Pacheco will "be even better this year" after a sluggish finish to 2024 following recovery from a broken leg. Pacheco suffered the injury in Week 2. He returned in Week 13 but averaged just 7.8 carries per game and 3.4 yards per rush from there through the playoffs. That included just 13 carries and 37 rushing yards (2.8 per carry) across three playoff contests.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride has been signed to a contract extension making him the highest paid TE in the NFL. He inked a four-year, $76 million deal with $43 million guaranteed. McBride caught 111 passes on 147 targets last season for 1,146 yards and two TDs. Entering his fourth year, McBride's elite TE ability is a key part of the Cardinals offense.

The Raiders and QB Geno Smith have agreed to a two-year, $85.5 million extension with $66.5 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports. That tacks on to the final year of Smith's current deal to keep him signed in Vegas through the 2027 season. Smith will be 37 when this contract expires.

The Cowboys have acquired QB Joe Milton and a 7th-round pick from the Patriots. Dallas will send a 5th-rounder back to New England.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell described his 2025 backfield as a "1A and 1B" situation with Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. "Aaron Jones is at his best when we can keep him fresh, we can keep him truly as that 1a, because we’ve got the 1b with him, and that was Jordan Mason," O'Connell said.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Tuesday that WR Rashee Rice is "on track" to be ready for training camp. Rice is working back from last September's season-ending LCL and hamstring injuries. He had surgery in early October. "He’s working his tail off right now, I know," Reid added.

Saints HC Kellen Moore said Tuesday that he expects WR Chris Olave to have a "huge impact" on the offense this season. "Chris Olave is a phenomenal player," Moore added.

Steelers owner Art Rooney II said Tuesday that he expects his team to sign free agent QB Aaron Rodgers. “We keep hearing that he’s headed in our direction,” Rooney said at the NFL owners meetings, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I’d say we feel pretty good about it at this time.” Rooney added that he's willing to wait "a little longer" to get an answer from Rodgers. Rodgers initially met with the Steelers on March 21.
