Cam Ward Already Emerging as a Leader
Cam Ward is already emerging as a leader heading into his first season in the NFL. Ward organized a group of rookie receivers to come into the building at 5 am for film study and hasn't been hesitant to tell a veteran wideout how he wants a route run. Additionally, the first overall pick has bounced back quickly from his mistakes during offseason workouts. "It certainly didn't shy him away from throws," head coach Brian Callahan said. "You want to see a guy just kind of get ready and throw it again." The 23-year-old is certainly showing maturity early on, but whether it translates to immediate production on the field when games count will be another story. With limited options beyond receiver Calvin Ridley to throw to, Ward is expected to have an up-and-down rookie season, especially since he's not much of a runner.Source: ESPN.com - Turron Davenport

Mark Andrews has Remained Focused This Offseason
Mark Andrews has gotten back to work this offseason and looks quick and healthy, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. Andrews also hasn't complained publicly that he's set to play out the final year on a contract that he's outperformed, and instead has remained focused on getting ready for 2025. The 29-year-old did score a career-high 11 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games, but he caught just 55 passes for 673 yards and saw Isaiah Likely take on a bigger role in the offense. Oh, and he also ended the season with a crucial fumble and dropped two-point conversion in the playoff loss to Buffalo. Andrews will still be a favorite red-zone target for quarterback Lamar Jackson, but he'll also probably continue to lose valuable targets to Likely, making him a volatile, TD-dependent midrange TE1 in fantasy.Source: The Athletic - Jeff Zrebiec
Rather than sulk about speculation that he'll be traded or released, Baltimore Ravens tight end Keaton Mitchell Looking Quicker and More Assertive
Keaton Mitchell suffered an ACL tear in his knee in his rookie year in 2023 but has shown the same speed and explosiveness in offseason workouts that he teased back in 2023 before his season-ending injury. Mitchell was still navigating physical and mental hurdles when he returned last November to average just 2.0 yards per carry in five regular-season games. The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec writes that the 23-year-old has looked quicker and more assertive during offseason workouts in recent weeks, which is a great development for the Ravens. Although Derrick Henry remains the RB1 workhorse in Baltimore, he's not getting any younger, and Mitchell is far too explosive not to be used in 2025. Mitchell has the most upside of the Ravens' backup RBs and would be a fine handcuff to Henry.Source: The Athletic - Jeff Zrebiec
Baltimore Ravens running back Devontez Walker Showcasing his Size and Speed
Devontez Walker would have won the most improved player award by a landslide if the team had given one out at the end of the offseason program. Walker made plays in nearly every practice and was showcasing his size and speed after being barely noticeable through offseason workouts and training camp in 2024. “He’s got a chance to be really good,” head coach John Harbaugh said. The 24-year-old is playing faster while showing more confidence and polish in his game. The former fourth-rounder (113th overall) last year caught just one pass on three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in nine regular-season games. Walker has some big-play ability down the field, but if all three of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins stay healthy, he'll have a tough time making noise for fantasy managers.Source: The Athletic - Jeff Zrebiec
According to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Commanders Cornerbacks Could Be Much Improved
Source: The Athletic - Ben Standig
The Athletic's Ben Standig writes that the Washington Commanders cornerback room could be much better in 2025 after the departures of Benjamin St-Juste, Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and Michael Davis. With that trio struggling a year ago, it forced rookie Mike Sainristil from inside to outside and the team to trade for an injured Marshon Lattimore. Lattimore struggled after joining the Commanders and has a history with injuries, but if he's healthy, the four-time Pro Bowler and second-round rookie Trey Amos could form a nice tandem in the secondary for Washington. Former New England Patriot Jonathan Jones also joins the mix, which could allow Sainristil to shift back to his more natural role in the slot after an impressive rookie season. The 29-year-old Lattimore had five straight seasons of at least 13 starts to begin his career but has missed 25 games over the last three years due to injuries.Yasir Durant Signs with New England
Source: New England Patriots
Per the team, the New England Patriots have signed free agent offensive tackle Yasir Durant to a one-year contract. The terms were not disclosed. The 27-year-old signed as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020 and appeared in 11 games for the team that year (one start). In 2021, KC flipped Durant to New England, and he'd make his way to New Orleans' roster the season after that. However, in that time, he suited up for only eight contests. He took the previous two years off from the NFL and played with the DC Defenders in the United Football League. Durant was named to the All-UFL team in 2025 and won the Championship with DC. It's unclear whether he'll make New England's roster, but it's worth noting he's listed as a guard on their unofficial depth chart despite residing at tackle for the Defenders.Bhayshul Tuten Inks Rookie Deal
Bhayshul Tuten on a four-year contract. The financial terms were not divulged. The Virginia Tech product is a bit undersized (5-foot-9), but exhibits tantalizing athletic ability and could push for a significant role in Jacksonville's offense this season. It won't be easy, with returning backfield mates Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne in the fold. Still, neither really separated himself from the other over a disappointing 2024 for the organization. Furthermore, Tuten is far and away the most explosive back of the trio and offers a three-down skill set. Playing time could be sparse early on, but if the rookie adjusts to the league quickly, he could hold some sleeper appeal in what projects to be an exciting offense.Source: Mike Garafolo
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms with rookie fourth-round running back Malachi Corley Not Guaranteed a Roster Spot
Malachi Corley (undisclosed) won't be a shoo-in for the team's 53-man roster as he's missed critical time with an undisclosed injury during their offensive install. New York selected Corley with the first pick of the third round in 2024's draft, though his rookie season saw him catch just 3-of-6 targets across 83 total offensive snaps. The Jets' corps of pass-catchers is mostly thin behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson, so Corley could push for significant snaps if he continues to develop. New head coach Aaron Glenn has insinuated he'll run a tight ship, and isn’t tied to the 23-year-old, considering he isn't a part of the regime that drafted him. Corley's athletic profile is enticing, but he requires improvement before impacting fantasy lineups in 2025.Source: Rich Cimini
ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets wide receiver Browns Expect Mason Graham to be More Productive in the NFL
Source: ESPN
Cleveland Browns rookie defensive lineman Mason Graham was selected with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after the team traded down from the No. 2 selection with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Graham was a dominant force at Michigan, earning two first-team All-Big Ten honors behind 81 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks in his final 25 games. At the next level, the Browns expect more production out of Graham in a different role. "The spring has been a transition for Graham, who was asked to take on blockers at Michigan but will be expected to penetrate the defensive line and be more of a disruptive force in Cleveland," team reporter Daniel Oyefusi wrote. "Despite the difference in scheme, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said Graham is 'pretty far ahead right now.' Graham rotated with the first-team defense during OTAs and mandatory minicamp." With All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett eating double teams, Graham should have plenty of room to operate on the interior of Cleveland's front seven.Elic Ayomanor a Week 1 Starter for Titans?
