Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Quinshon Judkins was arrested in Fort Lauderdale for battery and domestic violence on Saturday. According to the Broward County Sheriff's Office, the 21-year-old remains in custody while being charged with touching or striking, battery, and domestic violence. Judkins was selected in the second round with the 36th overall pick by the Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft. He also remains unsigned and now could face discipline under the NFL Personal Conduct Policy as more details come out about his arrest. If Judkins were to miss time this season,
Jerome Ford and
Dylan Sampson would see an increase in touches and snaps, bumping the draft stock a few spots for both Cleveland backs heading into upcoming fantasy drafts.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Terry McLaurin is entering the final year of his deal and is a candidate to be a holdout or hold-in at training camp this summer. McLaurin has five straight 1,000-yard seasons under his belt and has at least 900 receiving yards in each of his six years in the NFL, but The Athletic's Mike Jones writes that he's unlikely to land a deal that rivals that of Bengals wideout
Ja'Marr Chase, who got four years and $161 million. However, it's possible that McLaurin tops the four-year, $115 million deal the Bengals gave receiver
Tee Higgins. The 29-year-old had a strong 23.2% target share last year and excelled with impressive rookie quarterback
Jayden Daniels, also scoring a career-high 13 touchdowns. McLaurin will see regression in the TD department, but with Daniels looking like an elite QB, McLaurin is now in WR2 territory in fantasy.

The Athletic's Joe Rexrode believes that giving Tennessee Titans cornerback Roger McCreary a contract extension this summer seems like a smart decision as the former second-rounder in 2022 enters his fourth NFL season. McCreary is by no means an elite defensive back, but he's been versatile and durable for the Titans, missing just four games in his first three years in the league. Tennessee also has plenty of question marks on defense and in their defensive backfield, so it would seem to be a wise move to get the 25-year-old locked in long term. The Auburn alum actually took a step back in 2024, posting a career-low 50 tackles (43 solo), one sack, 12 tackles for loss and only one pass breakup in 15 games (seven starts) in his third season. McCreary spent most of his time in the slot last year and struggled, so the Titans may want to move him back outside, especially if they sign him to an extension.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Mike Evans is entering the final year of his two-year, $41 million deal in 2025, and The Athletic's Dan Pompei writes that the team could have a difficult time retaining the future Hall of Famer beyond this season, especially at a similar price to what they just re-signed
Chris Godwin at. Despite being close to turning 32 years old, Evans hasn't shown signs of slowing down, posting 1,000 yards receiving in 2024 for the 11th straight season while also scoring 11 touchdowns. Tampa certainly doesn't want to lose one of the greatest players in franchise history who is also highly respected in the locker room, but it remains to be seen how this will play out following the 2025 season after they took wideout
Emeka Egbuka in the first round this year. For fantasy purposes, Evans is a high-end WR2.

Given Seattle Seahawks left tackle Charles Cross' age (24), position and status as the team's best offensive lineman, The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar thinks that signing him to a contract extension before training camp this summer seems like an obvious decision. Cross is one of six extension-eligible players from the team's 2022 draft class, joining outside linebacker Boye Mafe, running back
Kenneth Walker III, right tackle Abe Lucas, cornerback Riq Woolen and safety Coby Bryant. Shawn-Dugar adds that Cross should have a salary floor of at least $21 million per year on any new deal he gets. Seattle picked up the 24-year-old's fifth-year option back in April, but it doesn't mean it will prevent them from getting a long-term deal done before the start of the 2025 season. Cross is the unquestioned starting left tackle and will protect new quarterback
Sam Darnold's blind side.

TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt highlights rookie wide receiver
Xavier Restrepo as a player to watch heading into training camp this summer. Restrepo was added as an undrafted free agent after he was a teammate of quarterback
Cam Ward at the University of Miami. The 23-year-old is a fierce competitor who looked comfortable in spring practices. Wyatt writes that Restrepo's 11 catches led all receivers during the five open practices to the media this offseason. If he continues to play that well during camp, the Titans may find it hard to cut him from the active roster going into the regular season. Restrepo had 1,000 yards receiving in his final two seasons with the Hurricanes. He's merely one to watch because of his chemistry with Ward, but he's not an exceptional athlete and is going to face an uphill battle for a roster spot.

TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt writes that Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Calvin Ridley appears to be re-energized in his second season with the team with the addition of rookie first-round quarterback
Cam Ward. Ridley has taken the first overall pick under his wing this offseason, and they have both formed a strong bond both on the field and off. For Tennessee's offense to take a step forward in 2025, the Titans will need the chemistry between Ward and Ridley to pay off after Ridley went for 64 catches, 1,017 yards and four touchdowns in his first year with the team in 2024. The 30-year-old is the clear WR1 and should continue to have a high target share, but his fantasy value will be directly impacted by how quickly Ward can adapt to the speed in the NFL. Ridley is ranked at RotoBaller a the No. 32 fantasy wideout.

Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh officially announced his retirement from professional football on Saturday on his social-media account. Suh spent 13 years in the NFL with five different teams -- the Detroit Lions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran defensive lineman last played in 2022 with the Eagles, recording just one sack in eight games played. Suh was originally the second overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft out of Nebraska by the Lions, and he spent the first five years of his career in Motown before heading to Miami. The 38-year-old was a five-time Pro Bowler, three-time All-Pro and won one Super Bowl ring. In his prime, Suh was one of the most disruptive interior defensive linemen, and he finishes his career with 600 tackles (392 solo) and 71.5 sacks in 199 career regular-season games.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Jaylen Waddle appears to be plenty motivated in 2025 after the offense took a step back in 2024, with Waddle falling short of a fourth straight 1,000-yard season. Waddle finished with 744 yards and two touchdowns on 58 catches, all career-lows. "After watching the film, definitely a lot of hand eye (coordination) -- I feel like I'm trying to move without the ball too much," he said. "And just the simple things, just timing, getting smoother in and out of my routes. Pretty much that," Waddle said. The 26-year-old has also been improving his chemistry with quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa. A bounce-back campaign in 2025 is certainly possible for the speedy Waddle, but unfortunately his fantasy value is tied to the injury-prone Tagovailoa and an offense that was a shell of its former self last year. RotoBaller has Waddle ranked as the WR28.

The Los Angeles Chargers rookies are reporting to training camp on Saturday, but the Bolts and second-round wide receiver
Tre Harris still haven't agreed to a deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. There is still time for the two sides to get something done before official practices begin, but Harris is facing the possibility of missing some key development time heading into his first NFL season. The 23-year-old looked impressive during OTAs and minicamp earlier this offseason while building chemistry with quarterback
Justin Herbert. The Chargers are hoping that Harris can be Herbert's go-to deep threat in 2025 to open up more space for WR1
Ladd McConkey underneath. Harris will be fighting for targets with
Mike Williams and
Quentin Johnston. Despite being in a run-first offense, Harris is in a good situation for immediate playing time in 2025.

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner wants to be the highest-paid cornerback in the league. Additionally, the Jets need to figure out when to extend wide receiver
Garrett Wilson, who is seeking in the range of $25-30 million per year. Gardner has stated that he would like to retire as a Jet, but the team will probably need to move fast to avoid prices going up. The 24-year-old defensive back is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025 and has already become one of the top shutdown corners in the NFL. The former fourth overall pick in 2022 out of Cincinnati is a two-time Pro Bowler and also won Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022. Gardner finished with 49 tackles (36 solo), his first career sack, an interception and nine pass breakups in 15 starts in 2024.

The New England Patriots gave running back
Rhamondre Stevenson a four-year, $36 million extension last summer, which kicks in for the 2025 season. The Athletic's Chad Graff writes that the extension for Stevenson already looks like a bad move after he had 207 carries for 807 yards (career-low 3.9 yards per carry) last year, although he did score a career-high seven rushing touchdowns. On top of it, the Pats selected rookie
TreVeyon Henderson in the second round this year, so New England now have an out to move on from Stevenson if he struggles again in 2025. The biggest drawback to the 27-year-old last year were his seven fumbles. He has nice size and abilities in the passing game, but he won't be guaranteed much under the new coaching staff and will face plenty of competition from Henderson. RotoBaller has Stevenson ranked as the RB35 in fantasy.
