Seattle Seahawks quarterback
Sam Darnold had a career year in 2024 with the Minnesota Vikings, completing 66.2% of his passes for 4,319 yards, 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 17 regular-season games to lead Minnesota to a 14-3 record. However, the former third overall pick in 2018 finished on a sour note in his final two games and knows he must prove himself again in 2025 with a new team. Darnold has familiarity with new Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak from their one year together in San Fran in 2023, but the move from Minnesota to Seattle is definitely a downgrade in terms of overall offense and the weapons he'll have in Seattle. The 28-year-old was excellent throwing downfield in 2024, but it helped to have one of the best receivers in the league in
Justin Jefferson. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting a repeat of 2024, when Darnold finished as the QB9.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that he expects both wide receiver
Rashee Rice (knee) and offensive tackle Josh Simmons (knee) to be full participants at the start of training camp at the end of July. Rice played in only four games last year before suffering a season-ending LCL tear. The injury is behind the 25-year-old, though, and he'll be ready to rock for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season this September after he was a full participant in OTAs and minicamp this spring. Before his injury last year, Rice was the clear WR1 for quarterback
Patrick Mahomes and had 24 catches for 288 yards and three touchdowns in the first three games. However, he has a possible suspension hanging over his head for a hit-and-run incident in March of last year, which makes him more of a high-end WR3 target in fantasy drafts this fall.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving noted last week that he aims to improve heading into his second season. "But yeah, just always going back and looking at the film and looking at things that you can get better at and improve in, and also not getting satisfied and stuck in last year," said Irving. "Nobody cares about what you did last year. It's, 'What can you do for me now?'" The Oregon alum burst onto the scene last season with a PPR RB13 finish despite toting the rock just 207 times. He displayed an elite ability to break tackles and was a catalyst for Tampa Bay with the ball in his hands. With the Buccaneers returning all of their offensive line starters from 2024, Irving could be in for a massive year with a focus on aiming higher in his second season. He's one of the more exciting picks in the first two rounds of fantasy drafts.

Zack Kelberman of Sports Illustrated reports that the Denver Broncos have signed former UFL defensive back Mario Goodrich to an undisclosed contract. In a corresponding move, the team waived defensive back Tanner McCalister. Goodrich initially got his start in the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2022, but appeared in just four games over his two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, notching five tackles. The 25-year-old spent this most recent season with the UFL's Birmingham Stallions, registering 12 solo tackles, five pass breakups, and three forced fumbles. It's worth mentioning that the Clemson product was a standout during his time with the Tigers, garnering first-team All-ACC honors in 2021. He'll attempt to carve out a roster spot in a deep secondary.

Fox 8 News of Cleveland reports that Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders was pulled over early Tuesday morning and issued a citation for speeding. According to Strongsville police records, the 23-year-old was stopped by an officer on 71 North after he clocked in at 101 MPH -- 41 MPH over the posted speed limit. He can either fight the ticket in court or pay the fine. It's not the worst thing in the world for Sanders, but undoubtedly not a good look and unacceptable behavior for an athlete employed by the NFL. While it's unknown whether there'll be repercussions from the team or league, it doesn't quell the character concerns that surrounded him during the draft process.

New York Giants running back
Cam Skattebo has agreed to terms on his rookie deal and is set to officially sign on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The fourth-round pick out of Arizona State carries plenty of fantasy football intrigue after a monster collegiate career of production. He began his career at Sacramento State before joining the Sun Devils' program in 2023. As a senior in 2024, Skattebo rushed 293 times for 1,711 yards and caught 45 passes for 605 yards. Overall, he tallied 2,316 yards from scrimmage and 24 touchdowns. Although 2024 rookie
Tyrone Tracy Jr. impressed in his first year of action, the two could be in a committee backfield in 2025, though
Devin Singletary is still on the roster. All that said, Skattebo has workhorse size and could carve out a significant role with volume in 2025 or 2026.

New York Giants wide receiver
Beaux Collins worked with the first team offense on Tuesday following the departure of
Jalin Hyatt (leg), who exited practice with an apparent leg injury. Star wideout
Malik Nabers (toe) is sitting out minicamp with a toe injury. According to Giants reporter Art Stapleton, Collins caught a touchdown from
Russell Wilson in 7-on-7 drills and is making an impact as an undrafted rookie free agent. Collins spent three seasons at Clemson before one year at Notre Dame, totalling 132 receptions for 1,780 yards and 14 touchdowns in 48 collegiate games. New York's wide receiver group behind Nabers leaves a lot to be desired, so there's a real path toward making the 53-man roster for Collins. He should be on the radar in deeper dynasty fantasy football setups.

The Houston Texans are planning to sign free-agent cornerback Damon Arnette, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The former first-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Ohio State has not appeared in an NFL game since 2021 and is eyeing an NFL comeback. In just 13 career games with the Silver and Black, he posted 29 tackles and three pass deflections. Arnette spent the Spring with the Houston Roughnecks of the UFL, compiling 18 tackles, one sack, and a pick-six. The 28-year-old will likely find a tough time making the team's 53-man roster, but surprises happen, so this is an interesting story to follow.

Veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander signed a one-year deal worth up to $6 million with the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. By landing with Baltimore, he reunites with his college teammate,
Lamar Jackson (Louisville). Alexander spent the first seven years of his professional career with the Green Bay Packers after being selected with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Over 78 career games, he logged 287 tackles (240 solo), 12 interceptions, 70 pass deflections, three forced fumbles, and 1.5 sacks. The two-time Pro Bowler has missed 20 games over the last two seasons, which is a primary reason the Packers were ready to move on. Alexander joins a strong defensive back room featuring Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton, Nate Wiggins, and first-round rookie Malachi Starks. If he can stay healthy and provide high-end cornerback play, this could be the league's most talented secondary.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Jared Wiley (knee) is participating in individual drills at mandatory minicamp this week while wearing a brace on his surgically-repaired right knee. The fact that Wiley is even taking part in offseason workouts at all is pretty impressive after he suffered a torn ACL last November. The 24-year-old is doing well in his recovery, but he still may not be fully ready for training camp this summer or the start of the 2025 regular season in September. The former fourth-rounder (131st overall) last year will merely be competing for the No. 3 tight end spot with
Robert Tonyan when he's fully healthy as depth behind
Travis Kelce and
Noah Gray. In his first year in the NFL with the Chiefs in 2024, Wiley only appeared in seven regular-season games (two starts) and caught his only target for seven yards. He's nowhere near the fantasy radar.

The New York Jets released kicker
Anders Carlson on Wednesday and signed kicker
Harrison Mevis in a corresponding move, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Mevis made 20 of his 21 field-goal attempts (95.2%) this year while playing for the UFL's Birmingham Stallions. Carlson, 27, is the younger brother of Raiders kicker
Daniel Carlson. The Auburn product hasn't been as good as his older brother in the NFL, though, making 83.3% of his 48 field-goal tries since entering the league in 2023 with the Green Bay Packers. He went 13-for-15 on his field goals and 12-for-15 on extra points in seven games in 2024 with the San Francisco 49ers and the Jets. Carlson will now look for another team to sign with before training camp. Mevis will be competing with
Caden Davis for the starting kicking job this summer.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that there are no concerns with wide receiver
Malik Nabers (toe) not being ready for training camp in late July. Nabers missed organized team activities this spring and is also sitting out of mandatory minicamp with a toe injury that has bothered him since college, but the team isn't very concerned, and Nabers should be fine for training camp, the preseason, and the start of his second NFL campaign this fall. The 21-year-old also dealt with his toe ailment in 2024, but it didn't slow him down on the field, as he had 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns on 170 targets despite a rough quarterback situation in the Big Apple.
Russell Wilson may not prove to be much better under center, but he does excel with the deep ball still. Nabers has extremely high expectations going into Year 2 and should be treated as a top-10 fantasy wideout.
