| 3/9/2025 7:38:00 PM | Allen and the Bills agreed on a six-year, $330 million contract that includes $250 million guaranteed Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Allen will receive a record-setting amount of guaranteed money fresh off of winning the NFL's Most Valuable Player award in 2024. The quarterback still had four years remaining on his prior contract, but Buffalo decided ink the new deal with their franchise superstar. Allen completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns while also adding 531 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground over 17 regular-season games in 2024. Most notably perhaps was his amount of interceptions, getting picked off just six times, a new career low for the seven-year vet. | |
| 3/9/2025 5:13:00 PM | The Vikings signed Jones to a two-year, $20 million contract Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Schefter adds that this contract includes $13 million in guaranteed salary, and his $10 million average annual salary will make Jones the sixth-highest-paid running back in the NFL by this metric. Jones signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the Vikings after being let go by Green Bay last offseason and put up a career-best 1,138 rushing yards across 17 regular-season games in 2024. The 29-year-old dealt with numerous injuries throughout the year including a lingering quad issue that carried into the playoffs. Yet, he logged a career-high 255 rushing attempts and was an integral piece of Minnesota's offense all year. The Vikings appear set to begin their transition to J.J. McCarthy (Achilles) as the team's long-term starting quarterback moving forward, as last year's starter Sam Darnold will likely get a significant payday elsewhere with numerous teams looking for immediate help at starting quarterback. Jones' return will provide some significant stability to the Vikings' offense whether or not McCarthy is ready to step in under center by Week 1. With Cam Akers also currently slated to hit free agency, it's likely Minnesota will look to add a new No. 2 running back this offseason who can help share the load with Jones moving forward. | |
| 3/7/2025 9:34:00 AM | Bernard and the Bills have agreed to terms on a four-year, $50 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. |
| The 2022 third-round pick had one season remaining on his rookie contract, after thriving the past two years. He wasn't as statistically dominant in 2024 as he had been in 2023, but he still topped 100 tackles and had multiple interceptions despite missing four games. In 2023, he had one of the best statistical seasons by a linebacker in recent years, recording 143 tackles (84 solo), including 6.5 sacks, five pass defenses, including three interceptions, and three fumble recoveries. Garofolo reports that Bernard's new contract includes $25.2 million guaranteed, which would put him fourth among off-ball linebackers behind Baltimore's Roquan Smith ($45 million), Chicago's Tremaine Edmunds ($41.8 million) and San Francisco's Fred Wagner ($27.5 million). The reported average annual value of $12.5 million ranks a bit lower, tying for sixth at the position. | |
| 2/25/2025 4:41:00 PM | Swift is unlikely to be released this offseason, but the Bears may prioritize adding another running back, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. |
| Swift is scheduled to make $8 million in 2025, with more than three-fourths of the money guaranteed. His 2024 performance was disappointing relative to the three-year, $24 million contract he signed last offseason, although it could be argued he was a victim of circumstance more so than a major part of the problem during a horrible season for Chicago's offense. The scheme should improve under new head coach Ben Johnson, but it's uncertain how much Swift will benefit if that happens, as the Bears don't lack for draft capital and cap space to pursue upgrades (or at least competition). | |
| 2/25/2025 12:46:00 PM | New Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said the team's passing game will run through Thomas, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. |
| That much is clear; the real question is who else will catch passes from Trevor Lawrence on a regular basis. WR Christian Kirk (collarbone) and TE Evan Engram (shoulder) both are entering contract years without any guaranteed money remaining on their contracts, and WR Gabe Davis (knee) is coming off a disappointing season that ended early due to a meniscus tear. Thomas may be at the level already where competition doesn't really matter and teammates are competing with each other for targets rather than him. He closed 2024 with one of the most productive stretches ever seen from a rookie wide receiver while catching passes from backup QB Mac Jones, posting six straight games with at least 10 targets and 76 yards while averaging 7.5 receptions for 99.8 yards and 0.83 TDs. Similar output over the course of a full season is unlikely even for a player with Thomas' rare combination of size, speed and agility, but it isn't entirely out of the question under Coen, whose lone year as Tampa Bay's offensive coordinator coincided with the top PPR scoring average of Chris Godwin's career (19.7 per game) as well as Mike Evans' best average (17.2) since 2019. | |

| questionable | |
| 1/30/2025 7:58:00 PM | Young played in all 17 regular-season games and finished with 62 tackles (34 solo), including 7.5 sacks, one pass defense and one fumble recovery. He added six tackles (four solo), including 1.5 sacks, during the Rams' two playoff games. |
| Young's production in his sophomore season was eerily similar to his rookie campaign, albeit logging one more combined tackle and 0.5 sacks less. The 2023 third-round pick was part of a young, formidable Rams' pass rush along with Kobie Turner, Jared Verse and Braden Fiske (knee), with the foursome logging 28.5 sacks during the regular season. They played a key role in the Rams' NFC wild-card win over the Vikings when they sacked Sam Darnold seven times. | |
| 1/27/2025 1:23:00 PM | Coleman secured one of four targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. |
| Coleman struggled to convert on his opportunities throughout Buffalo's playout run, compiling just three catches for 22 yards on eight targets across his three postseason appearances. The rookie second-round pick compiled a 29-556-4 receiving line on 57 targets in 13 regular-season appearances, modest production totals, if somewhat disappointing compared to expectations, considering Coleman's draft capital and the opportunity he faced following the departures of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. Coleman's role could grow Year 2, as both Amari Cooper and Mack Hollins are slated to hit free agency, but it also wouldn't be surprising to see Buffalo work to bolster Josh Allen's receiving corps for the 2025 campaign. | |
| 1/20/2025 11:44:00 PM | Greenard finished the 2024 season with 59 tackles (41 solo), including 18 total TFLs and 12.0 sacks, four forced fumbles and three pass breakups across 17 regular-season contests. |
| After Greenard broke out for 12.5 sacks with the Texans in 2023, the Vikings signed him to a four-year, $76 million deal as a free agent. Greenard answered with another outstanding season, setting new career highs in tackles, TFLs, forced fumbles and QB hits (22). He started all 17 games and was named to his first Pro Bowl. Greenard has finished in the top 10 in the NFL in sacks in back-to-back seasons and turns 28 years old in May. | |
| 1/20/2025 8:59:00 PM | Cooper played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 87 tackles (57 solo), including 3.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. |
| The second-round rookie out of Texas A&M saw limited playing time on defense early in the regular season, but he slowly saw his snap count increase as the year progressed and ended up starting in the Packers' final four games of 2024 (including the NFC wild-card game against the Eagles). Cooper missed three games due to a hamstring injury, but he returned in Week 15 against the Seahawks and accumulated 42 tackles (28 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) in the following five games (including playoffs). Cooper won the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month award for December/January and figures to be a staple of the Packers' defense for the 2025 campaign. | |
| 1/20/2025 4:57:00 PM | Speed tallied 142 total tackles (93 solo) and five passes defended, including one interception, across 17 regular-season games in 2024. |
| The Tarleton State product had the most productive season of his career in 2024, setting new career highs in total tackles and passes defended while also nabbing the first interception of his career. Despite finishing the season as Indianapolis' third-leading tackler, Speed recorded the 12th-most stops in the NFL. Coming off a career year, Speed is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year. He's expected to be a sought-after player, likely signing a multi-year deal with a team in need of inside-linebacker help this offseason. | |
| 1/19/2025 12:13:00 AM | Gibbs rushed the ball 14 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 45-31 divisional-round loss to the Commanders. He added six receptions on 11 targets for 70 yards. |
| Gibbs was a bright spot in the disappointing playoff exit for Detroit. Even with David Montgomery back in the mix, Gibbs led the backfield with 20 touches as opposed to only seven for Montgomery. Gibbs found the end zone twice from two and eight yards away while also adding explosive gains of 33, 23 and 15 yards to post his highest yardage total of the campaign. He'll enter 2025 in the third year of his rookie contract and should remain a driving force in the Detroit offense after posting 1,929 yards and 20 yards from scrimmage across 17 regular-season games in 2024. | |
| 1/15/2025 4:56:00 PM | Vidal finished his rookie campaign with 43 carries for 155 yards and an additional five receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown across 10 games. |
| The 2024 sixth-round pick was considered a possible deep sleeper entering the year given the uncertain availability of oft-injured backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, but the imported Ravens duo were relatively healthy throughout the year, relegating Vidal to a healthy inactive at portions of the season. Even when the rookie had opportunities to flourish due to various injuries to the aforementioned duo, Vidal only saw six or more carries twice throughout the season and played just over 21 offensive snaps twice throughout the entire campaign. The Chargers clearly prioritize multiple rotational backs and depth given the offensive emphasis of the position, but it's unclear if Vidal will be a part of the team's larger goals despite Dobbins entering the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and Edwards due a $3 million bonus entering his age-30 season. | |
| 1/14/2025 10:17:00 AM | McLaughlin rushed twice for minus-two yards and secured his lone target for zero yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card loss to the Bills. |
| McLaughlin was not a big part of the game plan Sunday, playing just eight of the Broncos 42 offensive snaps in the contest behind teammate Javonte Williams (31) and ahead of Tyler Badie (3). The 24-year-old running back finished the 2024 regular season with 113 carries for 496 yards and one touchdown, a 24-76-2 receiving line on 27 targets and one lost fumble across 16 games. McLaughlin's carry total and rushing yards set career highs in both categories, as he saw his involvement in the ground game increase in his sophomore season. The Youngstown State product will enter his third season in 2025 with the opportunity to take a step forward in the offense. Williams will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so his possible departure could open things up for McLaughlin to step into a larger role in Denver's backfield. With that said, he'll likely continue to face competition from Audric Estime, Badie and any other running back who could be added through free agency or the draft. | |
| 1/13/2025 7:09:00 AM | Davis racked up 136 tackles (69 solo), including 2.0 sacks and seven passes defended, including one interception, across 16 regular-season appearances for the Saints in 2024. |
| Davis keeps piling up 100-tackles seasons well into his NFL career. The 13-year veteran recorded a career high in tackles despite playing in 16 of 17 regular-season games in 2024. This included six games with double-digit tackles. Davis was one of the few remaining bright spots on what has become a rather old and untalented Saints franchise. He's now set to enter the final season of his three-year, $27 million contract with New Orleans in 2025. | |
| 1/12/2025 5:53:00 PM | Sutton caught five of nine targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills. |
| The veteran wideout led the Broncos in catches, targets and receiving yards, although it was Troy Franklin who was on the other end of rookie QB Bo Nix's only TD pass Sunday. Sutton put together arguably the best campaign of his career in 2024, hauling in a career-high 81 passes for 1,081 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, and his per-game averages soared in the second half of the year (60-804-6 over his last 10 games) once he developed stronger chemistry with Nix. Sutton is under contract for one more year, and assuming he returns to Denver in 2025, his big finish will put him in high demand at the fantasy draft table. | |
| 1/9/2025 12:55:00 PM | Myers connected on 26 of 30 field-goal attempts (86.7 percent) and 37 of 40 extra-point tries through 17 games during the 2024 season. |
| Myers' field-goal percentage ranked 12th in the league among kickers that played at least 10 games. The 33-year-old kicker also connected on nine of 12 field-goal tries from beyond 50 yards. Myers has two years remaining on his contract and should be secure as the Seahawks' starter in 2025. | |
| 1/9/2025 12:45:00 PM | Howell completed five of 14 passes for 24 yards and an interception and rushed once for two yards across three games during the 2024 season. |
| Howell played just 25 snaps this season, 24 of which were in relief of an injured Geno Smith in Week 15 against the Packers. Howell's numbers are unappealing, but he should still be considered a formidable backup moving forward, as he posted 3,946 passing yards, 21 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in 2023 for the Commanders. Smith and Howell both have one year remaining on their respective contracts, so as long as Smith isn't cut as a cap casualty, Howell's two years removed from being able to compete for a starting job. | |
| 1/6/2025 6:28:00 PM | Edwards tallied four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. |
| Edwards came into this season averaging 157 tackles, but he fell to 129 across 17 regular-season games. Although the linebacker had a strong tackle total, it wasn't the elite IDP production fantasy managers had been accustomed to. Conversely, Edwards set a career high with 4.0 sacks, besting his previous high of 2.5 sacks. Edwards is heading into the last year of his deal with the Bears. | |
| 1/5/2025 10:33:00 PM | Johnson rushed twice for three yards and brought in all five targets for 16 yards in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. |
| Johnson was once again a clear second fiddle to lead back D'Andre Swift, who logged 20 carries. The second-year pro had a relatively uneventful season despite the trade of Khalil Herbert to the Bengals, with the exception of a solid red-zone role that helped him score six rushing touchdowns. Johnson tallied just 150 rushing yards on 55 carries alongside a 16-104 receiving line over 14 regular-season games, and he's likely to head into training camp next summer in a similar, clear No. 2 role. | |
| 1/5/2025 8:40:00 PM | Ridley recorded three receptions on five targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Texans. He added two rushes for negative three yards. |
| Ridley was held quiet for much of the game, though he broke free for two big gains of 24 and 39 yards just before halftime and the end of the game, respectively. That pushed him over 1,000 receiving yards on the season and also one yard over his total from the 2023 campaign. Ridley will likely be back to lead the Tennessee receiving corps in 2025, and he could see improved results with a rookie quarterback likely leading the offense. | |
| 1/5/2025 8:17:00 PM | Trubisky completed 15 of 21 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots. He added 12 rushing yards on four carries. |
| Josh Allen played the first snap to keep his consecutive start streak alive before turning things over to Trubisky, who connected with Ray Davis for a two-yard TD in the second quarter. Trubisky then gave way to Mike White midway through the third quarter. It was the first extensive action of the season for either backup QB, and it will likely be their last, as Allen will take back the reins of the offense when the Bills host the Broncos in the wild-card round next weekend. | |
| 1/5/2025 6:09:00 PM | Bass made his only field-goal try and went 1-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots. |
| Bass was able to make a 49-yard field goal with less than five minutes remaining in the first half, finishing the regular season having gone 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts over the team's final three contests. Bass did miss an extra-point try in the third quarter, which was his fifth miss of the season on a PAT. The kicker finished the regular season 24-for-29 on field-goal attempts while connecting on 59 of 64 extra-point tries over 17 games. | |
