The Carolina Panthers have some urgency to trade for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield soon so that he can get some time in minicamp with the team.

Shane Zylstra Recovered From Injury

Detroit Lions tight end Shane Zylstra (knee) suffered a fractured kneecap in Week 16 last year, but he has taken part fully in the team's offseason training program and was the team's go-to tight end during mandatory minicamp last week.

D'Andre Swift Showcases Receiving Skills

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift showcased his receiving skills at mandatory minicamp last week, and he looks stronger this year but hasn't lost any of his shiftiness. Swift is extremely smooth as a pass-catcher and is a matchup nightmare for the defense when he's in space in the passing attack. The 23-year-old was leading […]

Quintez Cephus Has Nice Minicamp

Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus had a really nice mandatory minicamp and showed up all three days last week. Cephus was off to a good start last year before a collarbone injury ended his season after just four and a half games. He's tough, agile and a good route-runner, and he put himself in […]

Towards the latter part of the 2021 season, we advised our regular IDP readers that the 2022 NFL Draft class would be a bit of an outlier. We warned that those playing in standard or Superflex dynasty leagues should try to trade their 2022 assets for comparable 2023 picks if possible because the quarterback and […]

David Johnson Visiting With Saints

Free-agent running back David Johnson is visiting with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, according to sources. The Saints have a big need at running back, so adding Johnson would make a lot of sense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard signed his restricted free-agent tender on Monday, according to a source. Lazard will make $3.986 million in 2022.

Jacobs had 732 carries for 3,087 rushing yards in the last three seasons, but he hasn't been very durable. His longest run […]

Commanders, Terry McLaurin Far Apart In Contract Talks

Talks between the Washington Commanders and wide receiver Terry McLaurin's representatives have continued, according to sources. There has been some progress, but the two sides remain far apart.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is present for physicals on Monday and is scheduled to be at mandatory minicamp with his teammates on Tuesday, according to a source.

Fantasy Football Breakouts, Busts, and Locks - Houston Texans 2022 Outlook

Welcome to our fantasy football Breakouts, Busts, and Locks, a new series on RotoBaller where our writers look at three key players on each NFL team. Today, we're talking about the Houston Texans.

Deven Thompkins Has Impressed Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Deven Thompkins has reportedly impressed head coach Todd Bowles during recent practices. "He's quick, he's fast, he's explosive off of the ball, and he's made some good catches," said Bowles.

J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards To Have Workloads Managed

Baltimore Ravens running backs J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Gus Edwards (knee) are expected to be somewhat limited early in the season. Both players are coming off season-ending ACL injuries from last season. That being said, the Ravens are going to be cautious with both players, which means they'll likely keep more running backs on the […]

Lamar Jackson Is In Attendance At Minicamp

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has joined the team in minicamp. Last week, head coach John Harbaugh mentioned that he expected Jackson at minicamp despite him missing OTA workouts. The 25-year-old still remains without an extension, but the team insists that a deal will get done. It's possible that the Ravens use multiple franchise tags […]

The Deepest Dive - TE Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

Tony Pollard May Get Work Out Of The Slot

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has been a semi-reliable fantasy option throughout the years. He finished 2021 with 130 rushing attempts for 719 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught 39 receptions for 337 yards. However, despite being relegated to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Ezekiel Elliott, the 25-year-old may […]

Lawyers For Henry Ruggs III Want Evidence Omitted

Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III faces years behind bars.

Rashaad Penny: "I Feel Amazing"

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny was in attendance during the club's recent minicamp. The 26-year-old has dealt with more than enough injuries over the years. However, he recently reported feeling "amazing," so hopefully, he will continue to stay that way. The former San Diego State Aztec is coming off the best season of his […]

D.K. Metcalf Absent From Camp

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf didn't attend the team's recent mandatory minicamp. The wideout was at voluntary OTAs, so it now appears that things are moving in the wrong direction as the 24-year-old searches for a new deal. Over the years, the former Ole Miss Rebel has been an effective fantasy performer, compiling 216 […]
