11 hours agoAccording to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, tight end Zach Gentry will remain with the Steelers. Gentry, a 2019 fifth-round pick, has appeared in 38 games for Pittsburgh in the last four seasons, compiling 39 catches for 303 yards. While the Steelers will get a familiar face back in the mix, his minimal statistical contributions over the years won't mean much from a fantasy standpoint. Gentry's return also won't negatively impact Pat Freiermuth, who should continue to operate as the undisputed No. 1 tight end on the depth chart.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Tom Pelissero

11 hours agoFree-agent defensive end Calais Campbell has upcoming visits with the Bills and Jets. The veteran, who was released by the Ravens this offseason in a cost-cutting move, has already made stops in Atlanta and Jacksonville as he looks to continue his career in the National Football League. He finished last season with 36 total tackles and a respectable 5.5 sacks in 14 appearances. However, he's battled injuries over the years and seen a decline in production. While Campbell's best days are likely behind him, he may have a few more potent performances left in the tank and should provide value to any defensive squad during the 2023-24 campaign.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Chaurean Williams

12 hours agoAccording to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Cardinals are looking for a "Christian McCaffrey package" for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. In October, the Panthers received a 2023 second, third, and fourth-round pick (and a 2024 fifth-round selection) from San Francisco for McCaffrey. However, factoring in Hopkins' age and hefty salary, getting a similar deal in return may prove difficult for the rebuilding Cardinals. That said, Hopkins has been one of the league's most productive wideouts during his career, amassing 853 catches for 11,298 yards and 71 touchdowns, so he will naturally draw interest from teams needing to fill a void on offense. But also considering the All-Pro appeared in just 19 games over the last two seasons because of injuries and a suspension, resulting in a decline in production, it will be interesting to see if any club is willing to adhere to Arizona's rumored demand.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Jeremy Fowler

23 hours agoThe Dolphins have re-signed cornerback Justin Bethel, the team announced on Friday. The 32-year-old has totaled 263 tackles, nine forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries, and five picks in 176 games. However, he's been the most potent on special teams during his career, earning three Pro Bowl trips because of his success in that area. That said, his individual statistical contributions should remain limited, so IDP managers won't benefit much by adding him to the roster.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Miami Dolphins

24 hours agoAccording to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Bengals "are looming large" regarding a potential deal with free-agent running back Ezekiel Elliott. Cincinnati is looking to bolster its backfield, so adding the former Buckeye could be on the radar. However, it's still unknown if the Bengals plan on retaining Joe Mixon, although the team could save roughly $8 million against the cap by cutting ties with him. It's no secret the franchise wants to keep Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins moving forward. As a result, adding Elliott may be a logical approach, especially if things align from a fiscal sense. But it could also signal the end of Mixon's career in Cincinnati.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Russ Heltman

1 day agoThe Panthers traded kicker Zane Gonzalez to the 49ers on Friday. Carolina had initially announced it would be releasing the veteran. Instead, he'll now be heading west, with San Francisco filling a void on offense. Gonzalez has made just 80.5% of his field goal tries during his career, so he hasn't been the most efficient kicker. The 27-year-old also missed the entire 2022 campaign because of a groin injury suffered in the preseason. That said, it's unlikely Gonzalez will draw much interest from fantasy managers this season, although that could change if he turns things around and stays healthy.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Nick Wagoner

1 day agoFree-agent wide receiver Steven Sims agreed to a deal with the Texans on Friday. The 25-year-old, who played with the Steelers last season, has appeared in 40 games during his career, pulling in 75 catches for 679 yards. He also has five career touchdowns, although he's had just one trip to the end zone in the previous three seasons. There's a chance Sims could move up the depth chart. However, he'll probably get most of his work on special teams, which won't do anything for his fantasy value.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Myles Simmons

1 day agoSeattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said the team remains in contact with free-agent linebacker Bobby Wagner. Seattle needs another veteran linebacker, and it's their most pressing need, which could align the stars for a reunion between the two sides in 2023. The 32-year-old mutually agreed to part ways with the Los Angeles Rams after just one year. Wagner led LA with 140 tackles and also posted a career-high six sacks, so he's still one of the best real-life and IDP linebackers in the NFL. The Seahawks took him in the second round back in 2012, and Wagner was named a first-team All-Pro in six of his 10 seasons in Seattle. A reunion to close out his career with the team would be fitting.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: The Athletic - Michael-Shawn Dugar

1 day agoThe Denver Broncos have reached an agreement with free-agent wide receiver Marquez Callaway. The 24-year-old is reunited with head coach Sean Payton after spending the two last seasons with him in New Orleans. Callaway struggled last season, but posted 46 receptions, 698 yards, and six touchdowns in 2021. That being said, the potential is there for Callaway to be a successful receiver in the league. Sadly, he'll have to compete with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, and K.J. Hamler for snaps in Denver. Possibly, Callaway could have value if someone gets injured or traded. Until then, Callaway can be ignored in fantasy formats heading into the new season.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Jeremy Fowler

1 day agoFree-agent wide receiver Marquise Goodwin has signed with the Cleveland Browns. It appears the two sides have agreed on a one-year deal, but the salary is unknown at this moment. The veteran wideout posted 27 receptions, 387 yards, and four touchdowns in 13 games with the Seattle Seahawks last season. The 32-year-old hasn't posted a 400-yard season since 2017. To be fair, the 2017 campaign was the last time that Goodwin was a full-time starter. The expectation is that Goodwin will serve as the fourth option behind Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore, and Donovan Peoples-Jones. That being said, it's hard to imagine Goodwin having much value unless one or two other receivers get injured.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Field Yates

1 day agoCarolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez has been released by the organization. This is odd timing considering the Panthers recently said they were going to stick with Gonzalez. Now, they've re-signed kicker Eddy Pineiro to a two-year deal and parted ways with Gonzalez. The 27-year-old missed all of last season due to a groin issue. Gonzalez has five years of experience under his belt, so he should be able to find another opportunity. However, his career 80.5 field goal percentage doesn't scream reliable kicker. Gonzalez should get a chance with another organization to at least prove himself in camp.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Charlotte Observer

1 day agoArizona Cardinals quarterback David Blough has re-signed with the organization. Blough spent time with three different organizations last season. However, he ended the season with the Cardinals and even made two starts for the team. He completed 38-of-58 passes for 402 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in those two starts. Blough has made a total of nine appearances in his four seasons in the league. The 27-year-old is expected to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Darren Urban

1 day agoThe Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a deal with free-agent defensive back Terrell Edmunds. He's a former first round pick who has spent the last five seasons as a starter with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The expectation is that Edmunds is going to fill the vacant spot left by C.J. Gardner-Johnson who signed with the Detroit Lions. Edmunds is a durable and fairly reliable defensive back. He has played 15 games or more in each of his first five seasons. Edmunds isn't the best in pass coverage, but a serviceable option on a one-year deal.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport

1 day agoKansas City Chiefs tight end Blake Bell has re-signed with the organization. The veteran tight end will enter his fourth season with the team. Bell has been mainly a backup throughout his career, which is what he'll remain in Kansas City. The 31-year-old has 60 receptions, 641 yards, and one touchdown through eight seasons in the league. He'll be battling for a backup role alongside Jody Fortson and Noah Gray. There is no reason to believe Bell will have fantasy value next season.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport

1 day agoThe Carolina Panthers have agreed on a deal with wide receiver DJ Chark. The two sides have comes to terms on a one-year deal. Chark spent his 2022 season with the Detroit Lions, but it didn't go as planned. He finished with 30 receptions, 502 yards, and three touchdowns in 11 games last season. Despite that, Chark has proven to be a reliable option earlier in his career. He'll be a nice addition to put alongside Adam Thielen as the Panthers attempt to recover from the departure of DJ Moore. The move to Carolina should help Chark's value, but he probably won't be anything more than a low-end WR3.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport
