44 mins agoFree-agent cornerback Mike Hughes finalized an undisclosed two-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, according to a source. The former first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 is now heading to the NFC South after spending the 2022 campaign playing for the Detroit Lions. In 16 games (six starts) last year, he had a career-high 51 tackles (35 solo) and a pass defensed. The 26-year-old will offer the Falcons some valuable versatility as a defensive back that has experience both on the outside and inside in the slot. In his five NFL seasons to this point, Hughes has recorded 178 tackles (142 solo), five tackles for loss, three interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 20 passes defensed, seven forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries (one for a TD) in 57 games (18 starts).--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: ESPN.com - Jeremy Fowler

49 mins agoThe Indianapolis Colts reportedly aren't one of the teams that don't have any interest in negotiating with Baltimore Ravens franchise-tagged quarterback Lamar Jackson. Because he's on the non-exclusive franchise tag, he can negotiate a contract with other teams. The 26-year-old could be a good fit for the Colts, who haven't had a QB start back-to-back season openers since Andrew Luck in 2015-16. Indy hasn't ruled out having discussions with Jackson, who is reportedly looking for a fully guaranteed deal as his own agent. Team sources have expressed skepticism about the Colts actually pursuing Jackson. In order to land Jackson and sign him to a long-term deal, the Colts would have to do some salary cap maneuvering. They just signed Gardner Minshew last weekend, but Jackson would become the clear starter if the Colts were able to pry him away from Baltimore.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: ESPN.com - Stephen Holder

3 hours agoThe Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to a deal with free-agent wide receiver Cam Sims. It's assumed the deal is a one-year contract, but the salary hasn't been announced yet. The 27-year-old has spent all five of his professional seasons with the Washington Commanders. He has recorded 57 catches for 804 yards and three touchdowns in 55 games. He's expected to compete for a reserve role behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and Hunter Renfrow.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ben Standig

3 hours agoLas Vegas Raiders wide receiver Keelan Cole has re-signed with the organization. The two sides have agreed to a one-year deal for the upcoming season. The 29-year-old mainly played on special teams last season, but also contributed 10 receptions for 141 yards and one touchdown in 14 games. Cole produced a 600-yard season two years ago, so he's capable of being a legitimate contributor. However, it's uncertain if the Raiders plan on using Cole in their passing attack or keeping him on special teams.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Adam Schefter

4 hours agoThe Cleveland Browns have agreed on a contract with free-agent quarterback Joshua Dobbs. It's a one-year deal, but the salary has not been announced yet. The 28-year-old was given his first chance to start last season. He threw for 411 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in two starts with the Titans in 2022. The expectation is that he'll compete with Kellen Mond to earn the backup role to Deshaun Watson.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Mike McCartney

4 hours agoFree-agent quarterback Cam Newton is set to throw at Auburn's Pro Day on Tuesday. The 33-year-old appears to be attempting a come back after not playing last season. He last played with the Carolina Panthers in 2021. During that season, Newton threw for 684 yards with four touchdowns and five interceptions in eight games (five starts) with Carolina. It's hard to imagine the former MVP being able to find a starting spot in the NFL right now. Possibly, he's able to find a spot as a backup, but even that is uncertain at this point.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ari Meirov

4 hours agoThe Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with free-agent running back Damien Harris. It's a one-year deal as Harris attempts to rebuild his value after posting a dud in 2022. This doesn't come as a surprise given the fact the Bills were seeking a "heavy back" in free agency. The departure of Devin Singletary means that Harris should slide right into the starting role in Buffalo. Although, it's worth noting that James Cook and Nyheim Hines should be in the mix as well. Harris should get the bulk of the goal line work, which should be good for his fantasy value. In 2021, Harris finished with 15 touchdowns before posting a down year last season. A move to Buffalo should be good news for the fantasy value of Harris going into next season.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport

4 hours agoFree-agent tight end Austin Hooper plans to visit with the Las Vegas Raiders. The two-time Pro Bowl tight end hasn't been the same since he signed with the Cleveland Browns in 2020. Hooper was barely used during his time in Cleveland before joining the Tennessee Titans last season. He posted 41 receptions, 444 yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games (two starts) with the Titans last season. The Raiders have brought in O.J. Howard and now possibly Hooper to replace stud tight end Darren Waller. It's hard to imagine Hooper reviving his career even as the No. 1 tight end in Las Vegas.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport

6 hours agoThe Baltimore Ravens hosted free-agent wide receiver Nelson Agholor on a visit. Baltimore's search for more receiving help continues. As things currently stand, Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay and James Proche II are their top three wideouts, so the Ravens will certainly add to the position via free agency and/or the upcoming draft in April. Agholor, the former first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, spent the last two years with the New England Patriots, where he caught 68 of his 117 targets for 835 yards and five touchdowns in 31 games (20 starts). The 29-year-old had only 31 receptions for 362 yards and two scores in 16 games (seven starts) in 2022. A change of scenery to Baltimore would make Agholor slightly more attractive in deeper fantasy leagues, depending on who else the Ravens add at the position.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

6 hours agoThe Houston Texans reached an agreement to sign former Buffalo Bills free-agent running back Devin Singletary to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to a source. Singletary will give the Texans an additional weapon alongside Dameon Pierce, who thoroughly impressed in his rookie season in 2022 before going down with an injury. The 25-year-old has averaged 4.6 yards per carry in each of the last two seasons with the Bills. Singletary totaled 1,099 scrimmage yards last year with Buffalo and added six touchdowns on 215 total touches. He'll serve as a nice complement in Houston's backfield to Pierce, but as long as Pierce stays healthy, Singletary's fantasy upside remain capped.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

7 hours agoThe Houston Texans are signing free-agent tight end Dalton Schultz to a one-year deal worth up to $9 million on Monday, according to sources. Schultz has 198 catches and 17 touchdowns over the last three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and is only 26 years old. The former fourth-round selection by the Cowboys in 2018 had 57 receptions on 89 targets for 577 yards and five touchdowns in 15 regular season starts in his fifth year in the NFL in 2022. At the most shallow position in fantasy football, Schultz has been a TE1 in Dallas the last few years and will be Houston's primary pass-catching tight end. While he still might be a TE1 in 2023, he'll likely be much more volatile overall with the Texans likely to roll with an inexperienced rookie under center.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero

8 hours agoFree-agent tight end O.J. Howard signed an undisclosed deal with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday after visiting with the team. With Darren Waller now in New York and Foster Moreau currently on the open market, Howard joins Jesper Horsted and Cole Fotheringham as the tight ends on roster in Vegas. Howard, a former first-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2017, could help stretch opposing defenses for the Raiders in 2023. The 28-year-old could have some sleeper potential as a TE2 in fantasy if Moreau doesn't re-sign, but Howard has done very little since his first two years in the NFL. Last year in 13 games (10 starts) for the Houston Texans, he had a career-low 10 receptions for 145 yards and two touchdowns. Howard has only 35 receptions for 426 yards and five touchdowns in the last three years combined.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

9 hours agoThe Miami Dolphins announced on Monday that they have officially exercised quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's fifth-year option. The move will guarantee him $23.2 million in 2024. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise, though, as the organization has continued to say that Tagovailoa remains in their long-term plans despite the fact that he suffered two documented concussions in 2022. When he was on the field, the 25-year-old had the best season of his young career in head coach Mike McDaniel's offense, completing 64.8 percent of his passes for a career-high 3,548 yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 13 starts. With receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle at his disposal, Tagovailoa should be considered an injury-prone, low-end QB1 by fantasy managers.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: Dolphins Twitter

10 hours agoThe Tennessee Titans are finalizing a one-year deal worth up to $5 million with free-agent cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting on Monday, according to sources. Murphy-Bunting is only 25 years old and has already won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his fourth year in the NFL in 2022, he had 31 tackles (19 solo), two interceptions, seven passes defensed and a forced fumble in 12 games (five starts). Murphy-Bunting should serve in a starting role with his new team in 2023. In his four NFL seasons combined, he has produced 188 tackles (139 solo), one sack, six tackles for loss, six interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 21 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 53 games (36 starts).--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: The Score - Jordan Schultz

10 hours agoCarolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich said that their rookie quarterback that will be drafted with the first overall pick is "going to get a lot of reps" to give him a chance to start right away in 2023. This shouldn't come as a huge surprise, as the Panthers gave away the farm to put themselves in position to take the QB they like the most in this year's draft class at No. 1 overall. Carolina also signed veteran signal-caller Andy Dalton in free agency, but they'd prefer if their rookie quarterback earned the starting gig in training camp this summer. The Panthers have also added running back Miles Sanders, receiver Adam Thielen and tight end Hayden Hurst in free agency, which should take some pressure off whichever rookie signal-caller they take in next month's draft.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: ESPN.com - David Newton
