ESPN's Katherine Terrell reports that the New Orleans Saints are picking up wide receiver
Chris Olave's fifth-year option on Wednesday. Despite playing in a career-low eight games in 2024 in his third year in the NFL due to multiple concussions, the Saints picking up the former first-rounder's fifth-year option was a no-brainer. The 24-year-old Ohio State alumni is scheduled to make $16.8 million guaranteed on his fifth-year option in 2026. Olave cleared 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first two NFL seasons on 159 total receptions and nine touchdowns, so he has proven he has the chops to operate as a WR1 for fantasy managers when he's healthy. However, his head injuries from last year could scare many fantasy managers off this fall, as well as New Orleans' quarterback situation with
Derek Carr possibly needing shoulder surgery.

The Kansas City Chiefs conducted a virtual call with Ohio State running back
TreVeyon Henderson on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Head coach Andy Reid was part of the call. Henderson has been rising up mock-draft boards with the start of the draft now just a day away, and the Chiefs could be looking for more explosiveness to their backfield. The 22-year-old could very easily come off the board in this year's draft in the first round, and the Chiefs hold the No. 31 overall pick. They brought back
Kareem Hunt in the offseason behind starter
Isaiah McKenzie and also signed
Elijah Mitchell for more RB depth, but Henderson would surely give KC more explosiveness to their backfield and would likely be considered an immediate upgrade over the aging Hunt and injury-prone Mitchell. In addition to averaging 7.0 yards per attempt in 2024, Henderson caught 77 passes in his collegiate career.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay didn't rule out the possibility of the team trading for Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey. "You would certainly never rule out the possibility of that... There's a lot of layers that would need to be worked out with a player of his magnitude... but you would never eliminate the possibility of adding a total stud," McVay said. The 30-year-old former first-rounder (fifth overall) by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016 out of Florida State played for the Rams from 2019-22. He spent the last two seasons in Miami, but it sounds like his time in South Beach is coming to an end. The seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro played in all 17 games in 2024 and had 60 tackles (39 solo), six tackles for loss, two interceptions and 11 pass breakups while playing at a high level. There will be plenty of suitors for Ramsey, who could be dealt during this week's NFL draft.

Dallas Cowboys All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons said that he's taking part in the team's voluntary offseason program to build his relationship with new head coach Brian Schottenheimer and to grow as a leader, but he also indicated that he might not do all of the on-field work as the offseason progresses. As he heads into the final year of his current deal, the 25-year-old linebacker is still looking for a new long-term extension, and it doesn't appear like the two sides are at all close to a resolution after owner Jerry Jones bypassed Parsons' agent in contract talks at the beginning of April. If the two sides are still at a contract impasse by the summer when training camp is about to start, it's very possible that we'll be talking about a potential hold-in for the four-time Pro Bowler. Contract issues aside, Parsons is a fantasy stud in IDP formats with 52.5 sacks in his four NFL seasons.

With new head coach Mike Vrabel at the helm, the New England Patriots are open to trading players from the previous coaching staff, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz, and one name to watch is wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte. The former LSU wideout will turn 23 in May and had 43 catches for 589 yards and three touchdowns on 68 targets over 15 games (13 starts) in his second year in the NFL. The Patriots selected the 22-year-old pass-catcher in the sixth round (187th overall) in the 2023 NFL draft. Boutte only had two catches on seven targets for 19 yards in his rookie campaign in five games played in New England, and although receiver is a position of need for the organization despite the fact that added
Stefon Diggs this offseason, it sounds like Boutte is expendable. Even if Boutte isn't traded, expect the Patriots to address their receiver depth in this week's NFL draft.

Though there is good value in a deep running back class in this year's NFL draft, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he believes
Jaylen Warren can be the team's top running back after the departure of 2021 first-rounder
Najee Harris in free agency to the Los Angeles Chargers. "I certainly feel comfortable with his ability to do so," Tomlin said of Warren. "He got hampered by injury some in 2024. He appears to be ready to answer that. I know he's really excited about his opportunity. I don't think myself or anyone within the organization question his talents in regards to managing the ability to manage potentially that role." The 26-year-old signed his one-year, $5.35 million restricted free-agent tender on Tuesday, but that doesn't mean the two sides won't work out a long-term extension. Warren's 2025 fantasy value will depend on whether the Steelers add a RB in this week's NFL draft.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Jaylen Warren has signed a one-year, $5.3 million deal with the organization on Tuesday. Warren signed as a restricted free agent as he enters his final year before free agency. Warren figures to be the lead back for the first time in his professional career this upcoming season.
Najee Harris has departed via free agency, which opens a door for Warren to be the No. 1 back in this offense. It's possibly that the Steelers do draft a running back in the upcoming NFL Draft. Nonetheless, Warren should get the first chance to be the lead back in 2025. Last season, Warren finished with 511 rushing yards and 310 receiving yards in 15 games as the primary backup in Pittsburgh. The assumption is that his fantasy value is going to rise with a move to the lead back spot.

Tennessee Titans quarterback
Will Levis is expected to stick with the organization a little bit longer. Recently, general manager Mike Borgonzi said Levis is a quarterback in their room. He continued saying Levis is still developing and learning, but he has experienced some good moments. It seems increasingly likely that the Titans are going to select
Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. That means, Levis is going to be stuck as a backup going forward with Ward presumably viewed as the new franchise quarterback. It's never a bad idea to have depth, but Levis is only 25 years old and could potentially still help another organization. For now, the Titans seem interested in keeping Levis, but that might change over time.
