The Dallas Cowboys released wide receiver
Seth Williams following the acquisition of former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout
George Pickens, according to NFL.com. The 25-year-old Williams was once a deep fantasy football sleeper coming out of Auburn. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos and spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars before joining the Dallas practice squad last season. Williams has appeared in two NFL games, catching one pass for 34 yards. Needless to say, his hopes of being a full-time member of an active roster are likely over.

The Houston Texans re-signed defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, a source told ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime. Fatukasi will return to Houston after starting 11 games for the team in 2024 while helping bolster a Texans run defense that ranked ninth in fewest yards allowed (107) and eighth in yards per attempt (4.2). The 30-year-old former sixth-round pick (180th overall) by the New York Jets in 2018 out of Connecticut had only one sack in 2024 and 5.5 in his seven-year NFL career, so he's not on the IDP fantasy radar, but he led the Texans defense in run-stuff rate (4.8%) and was tied for third in run-stuff tackles (eight), according to NextGen Stats. Fatukasi dealt with injuries in his first season in Houston, playing in just 11 regular-season games while missing the final three games due to an ankle injury.

With the addition of wide receiver
George Pickens via trade on Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys pass-catcher
Jalen Tolbert will now operate as the team's No. 3 wideout in 2025 behind
CeeDee Lamb and Pickens. Tolbert could also face competition from
KaVontae Turpin for the role, but the 26-year-old should have the leg up for the WR3 job after a career year in 2024 in which he set career-highs in catches (49), targets (79), receiving yards (610) and touchdowns (seven) in 17 games (15 starts). Even in what should be a pass-happy Cowboys offense with quarterback
Dak Prescott returning from his hamstring injury, Tolbert just won't have enough volume to make him worthy starting on a weekly basis in most fantasy leagues. However, if one of Lamb or Pickens misses time with an injury, Tolbert will be an attractive waiver-wire pickup.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are counting on wide receiver
Roman Wilson to take a Year 2 jump after trading
George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Wilson has looked like a different player this offseason than what he looked like in his injury-riddled rookie campaign in 2024. Pittsburgh selected the 23-year-old in the third round (84th overall) last year out of Michigan, but he played in just one game due to ankle and hamstring injuries and didn't record a single catch. In his final season with the Wolverines in college, Wilson produced 49 catches for 789 yards and 12 touchdowns. If he can get past the injuries that plagued him in his first NFL season, Wilson is fully expected to be the No. 2 wideout behind
DK Metcalf, albeit in a run-first offense that currently has
Mason Rudolph as the projected starting quarterback.

The Dallas Cowboys' plan is for newly acquired wide receiver
George Pickens to play out his rookie deal in 2025, a source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The Cowboys swung a trade for Pickens and a 2026 sixth-round draft pick with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday in exchange for a 2026 third-rounder and a 2027 fifth-rounder. The 24-year-old Pickens gives Dallas a big upgrade at the No. 2 receiver spot behind All-Pro
CeeDee Lamb. Although Pickens is going to have plenty of competition for targets from Lamb -- he would have had that in Pittsburgh as well alongside
DK Metcalf -- the move to Dallas should be overwhelmingly positive for his fantasy value in 2025. Pickens will now be working with quarterback
Dak Prescott in an offense that could be very pass-heavy when considering their mediocre backfield options. The former second-rounder has 2,841 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in his three NFL seasons.

The Tennessee Titans have re-signed defensive tackle James Lynch to a one-year deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Lynch, a Baylor product, was originally drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He was a depth contributor with the Vikings for three seasons but missed his contract year due to a torn ACL. Lynch landed with the Titans for the 2024 season, during which he amassed 20 tackles, two sacks, and two passes defended. He hasn't started a game since 2022, but the Titans' decision to re-sign him indicates that they value him as a key piece of their defensive core.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released wide receiver
Gabe Davis, according to an announcement from the team. Davis appeared in 10 games (nine starts) last season, which was his first with the Jaguars. He converted 42 targets into just 20 catches, 239 yards, and two touchdowns. Each of these four marks represented career-lows as Davis struggled to match the level of production that he delivered during the four years with the Buffalo Bills. Still just 26 years old, Davis should find a new landing spot thanks to his previous experience as a solid No. 2 receiver in Buffalo. However, he is no longer a reliable fantasy football option, and he'll still have to compete to earn a roster spot somewhere this summer.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed undrafted rookie wide receiver Jimmy Holiday out of Louisiana Tech after a successful tryout at rookie minicamp. Holiday played collegiately at Tennessee and Western Kentucky in addition to Louisiana Tech. His best year came in 2023 with Western Kentucky, when he had 20 catches for 326 yards and two touchdowns. Holiday had 658 all-purpose yards and six total touchdowns at Louisiana Tech last year. The 5-foot-11, 198-pounder can function as a return specialist on special teams as well as a slot receiver, but he'll be a long shot to see meaningful playing time, let alone make the 53-man roster out of training camp. The Chiefs waived undrafted free-agent safety Will Brooks and receiver
Justin Lockhart (undisclosed) to make room for Holiday. Defensive end BJ Thompson (chest) cleared waivers and will revert to the Non-Football Injury list.

Despite tearing his ACL in the Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024, Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton (knee) said he feels good and that he's on track for the start of the 2025 season. "It's good. I feel like I'm on schedule. It's feeling really good," Singleton said. The 31-year-old veteran posted a video in March on his Instagram of him running full speed, and since then he's taken more encouraging steps in his rehab. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues will probably want to take a wait-and-see approach on Singleton early on, but if he returns to his pre-injury form, he should at least be a streaming consideration at the linebacker position. Before the 2024 season, Singleton had four-plus 100-tackle campaigns, including a career-high 177 total tackles (106 solo) in 2023 in Denver. If he's healthy in 2025, he'll be a starting linebacker for a strong Broncos defense.

Free-agent quarterback
Desmond Ridder will receive a tryout for the Denver Broncos during their rookie minicamp this weekend, a source tells 9 News' Mike Klis. The former University of Cincinnati product was drafted in the third round in 2022 by the Atlanta Falcons and started 13 games in 2023. The 25-year-old was way too inconsistent and injury-prone, though, with the Falcons moving on after just two seasons. He appeared in six games (one start) for the Las Vegas Raiders last year and completed 61.2% of his 85 pass attempts for 458 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Former first-rounder
Bo Nix is Denver's unquestioned starter after a strong rookie season in which he led the Broncos to the playoffs, and
Jarrett Stidham will return as his backup. If Ridder is signed, he'd compete with
Sam Ehlinger for the No. 3 job in the QB room.
