  • LA Wide Receiver #12

    Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, told The California Post that the 24-year-old has checked into a rehab facility in Malibu. Nacua has popped up in the news cycle most recently for a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles alleging he bit a woman on New Year’s Eve and made an “unprovoked antisemitic sentiment.” McCathern said, “the combination of stories ya’ll have run is certainly a contributing factor” to Nacua’s entry into the treatment center. Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday he’s hopeful Nacua can grow from his offseason incidents and hopes he is a Ram for a “really long time.” Nacua is eligible for a contract extension soon, though contract negotiations may be slower than they were for his draft classmate, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as he works through his treatment amid recent incidents.
  • ATL Front Office
    Scott arrives after five seasons with the Eagles front office. He started as a senior pro scout before elevating to director of football operations and vice president of football operations during his tenure with Philadelphia, reaching the Super Bowl twice and winning a title in 2024. New Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham hires him after briefly working together with the Eagles in 2021. The Falcons notably have president of football operations Matt Ryan as their “primary decision-maker”, leading to the Bears not receiving third-round comp picks via the Rooney Rule for Cunningham heading to Atlanta. However, with the hire of Scott as the assistant to Cunningham in the Falcons’ leadership hierarchy, the Bears are in communication with the NFL to get those compensatory picks with the argument that Cunningham is the primary football executive in the Falcons front office.
  • ARI Running Back
    Weinfuss has a lengthy profile of Tyler Allgeier’s decision to join the Cardinals that explicitly states several times things like “Allgeier said the Cardinals had not discussed his role” and "[h]ow the reps will be divided is yet to be seen.” It’s not wildly encouraging news for Allgeier’s fantasy prospects as the run-first option in a backfield of a team that figures to be trailing often in 2026. Allgeier is still probably the bet to lead the committee, but he’s probably deep in the RB3/RB4 conversation given the uncertainty and how poor this team looks on paper.
  • TEN Wide Receiver #10
    It’s the latest part of a masterclass by the Titans on April 1, 2026, as they have signed four different players that we can barely find anything to say about. McCutcheon had announced his retirement earlier in the offseason, but instead will report to Tennessee for training camp. He hasn’t played in an NFL game since the 2022 season.
  • TEN Running Back #22
    Carter, who turns 27 in May, somehow kept resurfacing in Arizona’s running back room last year. Just when you thought he was out of the rotation, someone new would get hurt. Reunited with Robert Saleh in Tennessee, Carter is likely just a depth add at this point, and certainly not guaranteed to have a roster spot.
  • ATL Defensive End #51
    He’ll continue his special teams journey in Atlanta, assuming he makes the final roster.
  • IND Wide Receiver #2
    Holder quotes Colts GM Chris Ballard as saying “I think Josh Downs is freaking good. I do. I’ve always thought he’s good. I think allowing him some more opportunities, we’re going to see some of the special stuff you’ve seen in the past, but more.” Downs probably is in line for the WR4 discussion in 2026 with Michael Pittman off to Pittsburgh, in what amounts to a make-or-break season in his walk year. We’d feel more comfortable boosting Downs if we were sure Daniel Jones were going to be healthy in Week 1, but he certainly has demonstrated the talent to be a fantasy factor in flashes.
  • JAC Wide Receiver #11
    It was pointed out by John Shipley a few days ago that Wan’Dale Robinson’s free agent contract might be a starting point for the Washington extension. Walker is entering his final season under his rookie contract’s fifth-year option. Strange and Washington are both on the final year of their rookie contracts. The Jaguars have been uncharacteristically (and probably smartly, given their success last year) quiet in free agency, so perhaps they’re just focusing on locking up their core.
  • GB Wide Receiver #13
    We don’t really believe Thomas is on the table unless the Jets are going to give up a first and more, but Wicks is an attainable option for the Jets. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Wicks is available in trade ahead of free agency. Wicks is entering the final year of his rookie contract and isn’t considered a building block for the Packers, so he’d probably only cost a Day 3 pick if the Jets were interested.
  • FA Quarterback #18
    The Raiders apparently did have Joe Flacco in mind for this role at some point, per Fowler, so perhaps it’s not quite as one-track-focused on Cousins it has appeared. Other veteran non-Cousins names still on the market include Russell Wilson, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Tyrod Taylor.
