Jones (knee) agreed to terms on a three-year, $33 million extension with Seattle on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
|
Jones will stay with the Seahawks after he was acquired via trade from Tennessee in October. The 25-year-old tallied 94 tackles (48 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one interception over 10 games in Seattle last season, and he's totaled 114, 145 and 138 tackles over the last three seasons with the Rams, Titans and Seahawks. Jones underwent surgery shortly after the 2024 campaign to address a knee issue that he had dealt with for over a year. It's unclear when he'll fully recover from this procedure, but the team's decision to re-sign him to a long-term extension certainly provides optimism that he'll be healthy for the 2025 regular season.

Watson (Achilles) has agreed to a contract restructure that frees up $36 million in 2025 cap space for the Browns, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
|
The agreement likely adds another void year to the contract while also converting base salary into a bonus. Watson still figures to get all the money from his disastrous, fully guaranteed contract, although he may eventually play out the end of the deal as a backup or even be released. His 2024 campaign ended in October after he ruptured his right Achilles tendon -- an injury that was surgically repaired shortly thereafter, only for Watson to re-rupture the tendon later on. He had a second surgery Jan. 9, making him unlikely to be ready for Week 1 of 2025 (almost exactly eight months later). Watson has been rehabbing at the team facility but is expected to miss "significant time in the 2025 season," according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Once healthy, Watson may have to settle for a backup role, be it behind a rookie or another veteran quarterback.

Crosby (ankle) agreed to a three-year, $106.5 million extension with the Raiders on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
|
Crosby's new deal contains $91.5 million in guaranteed money and keeps him on the books through 2029 while making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Before an ankle injury sidelined him for the Raiders' final four contests of 2024, Crosby was a paragon of durability, as he had previously never missed a game during his six-year professional career. Since he entered the league in 2019, Crosby has posted 59.5 sacks, the fifth-most in the NFL over that stretch.

McManus and the Packers agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $15.3 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
|
McManus joined Green Bay midseason in 2024, ultimately converting 20 of 21 field-goal attempts and all 30 extra-point tries across 11 regular-season appearances with the team. He also converted one of two field-goal tries and his only PAT during the Packers' wild-card round loss to Philadelphia. McManus' tenure as the starter on a high-scoring offense will keep him in the mix as a relevant fantasy option at the kicker position for the 2025 campaign.

Kelce confirmed via social media that he will play in 2025.
|
Kelce had stated after the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles that he hadn't yet decided whether he'd continue his playing career for a 13th pro season, but Chiefs GM Brett Veach said at the NFL Scouting Combine this week that he expected the veteran tight end to return for another year. Kelce has now confirmed it and will formally announce it on his New Heights podcast this week. Kelce will turn 36 years old in October and is certainly slowing down at this stage of his career, but he's ready to give it another run with Kansas City. It will be interesting to see what his role looks like in 2025, especially with Rashee Rice (knee) due back to full health as the Chiefs' power slot receiver and the anticipated leap of Xavier Worthy in his second season following a big stretch run and postseason. Kelce's days as an elite fantasy tight end are likely over.

Steelers GM Omar Khan said Tuesday that Warren will receive a restricted free agent tender and likely stay with the team in 2025, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
|
The real question is whether Warren gets a second-round tender ($5.2 million) or an original-round tag ($3.19 million). He went undrafted back in 2022, which means the latter wouldn't involve any draft compensation if he signed with another team and the Steelers declined to match the contract offer. A second-round tender, on the other hand, would ensure that Warren stays in Pittsburgh unless he's traded, as no team is going to give up a top-64 pick for the right to hand him a large contract. There's less clarity regarding the future of Najee Harris, who is scheduled for unrestricted free agency after starting his career with four straight seasons of more than 1,000 rushing yards but less than 4.2 yards per carry.

|
Johnson played in six regular-season games in 2024, completing two of three passes for 17 yards while netting one yard on four carries.
|
All of Johnson's work came in brief appearances in relief of Lamar Jackson, as he didn't log more than 10 offensive snaps in any game. The veteran signal-caller did see his most work since 2021, but that doesn't change his outlook as a career backup. Johnson is set to become a free agent, and there's been some speculation that he could elect to hang up his cleats.

Hopkins totaled a combined 56 catches (on 80 targets) for 610 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games between the Titans and Chiefs during the 2024 regular season.
|
Hopkins was dealt to the Chiefs prior to the team's Week 7 contest against the Bills, and the veteran required a little time to get up to speed with the playbook over the first couple of games but compiled 39 grabs for 408 yards and four touchdowns over the final nine regular-season contests. He was held to just three catches for 39 yards on eight targets over his three playoff tilts. The veteran wideout's contract voids Feb. 17, meaning Hopkins will likely enter unrestricted free agency again leading into his age-33 season in 2025. While he's unlikely to see a resurgence in his production back to his prime years, Hopkins still should find a home as a contributing veteran wideout somewhere, and he's just one year removed from a 1,000-yard receiving season in 2023 with the Titans.

Daniels was named the 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year on Thursday, Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press reports.
|
Daniels completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,568 passing yards and 25 passing touchdowns while throwing nine interceptions over 17 regular-season games with Washington this season. He also added a rookie-QB record 891 rushing yards while scoring six touchdowns on the ground. It comes as no surprise that he was able to bring home the hardware as the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year, edging out fellow quarterback Bo Nix, wide receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas and tight end Brock Bowers for the award.

Mariota completed 34 of 44 passes for 364 yards and four touchdowns during the 2024 regular season, then took two rush attempts for one yard in two playoff games.
|
Mariota never made a start but got the majority of playing time in two regular-season games and led the Commanders to victory both times. He then got two snaps in short-yardage situations during the playoffs, converting one and getting stuffed on the other. The 31-year-old isn't under contract for 2025, but it won't come as any surprise if he re-signs with the Commanders to back up Jayden Daniels again.

Driskel (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday and will serve as Washington's emergency third quarterback versus Philadelphia in the NFC Championship Game, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
|
Driskel has been the emergency QB throughout most of the season for the Commanders. The journeyman backup appeared in one game this season when he took one offensive snap Week 2 versus the Giants. He'll only be eligible to enter Sunday's game if both starting quarterback Jayden Daniels and primary backup Marcus Mariota are forced out with injury, illness or ejection.

Bonitto played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 48 tackles (33 solo), including 13.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including a pick-six), two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery that was returned for a touchdown.
|
The 2022 second-round pick out of Oklahoma led the Broncos with a career-high 13.5 sacks, which was third-most in the NFL behind Trey Hendrickson (17.5) and Myles Garrett (14.0). Bonitto hadn't scored a defensive touchdown in the first two years of his NFL career, but he had back-to-back defensive scores in Week 13 and Week 15. Bonitto's efforts in 2024 earned him a spot in the Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro, and the 25-year-old edge rusher could be in line for a sizeable contract extension during the offseason.

Barton tallied 106 total tackles (53 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five passes defended, with two interceptions, and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2024.
|
The first-year Bronco was one of the most impactful players on defense this season, finishing as the team's second-leading tackler behind Brandon Jones. Barton also ended the year with the third-most interceptions and fifth-most passes defended on Denver's defense. However, his tackle output has declined in each of his last two seasons, dropping from 121 stops in 2023 to 106 in 2024. Barton is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer following a successful stop in Denver. Expect the 28-year-old to be a sought-after name on the free-agent market for teams in need of inside linebacker help.

Jackson completed 18 of 25 passes for 254 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed six times for 39 yards in the Ravens' 27-25 divisional-round loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
|
Jackson's afternoon started off swimmingly with an eight-play, 73-yard march the star signal-caller capped off with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman. However, Jackson badly overthrew Bateman under pressure on the next possession and then lost a fumble on a sack by Damar Hamlin to short-circuit Baltimore's third drive. The latter turnover helped lead to a Bills touchdown four plays later, but Lamar was able to battle back in the second half and threw his second touchdown pass of the evening on a dynamic play where he bought time with his legs before delivering a 24-yard strike to Isaiah Likely to bring the Ravens to within two. Jackson then threw a very catchable pass to Mark Andrews for the would-be game-tying two-point conversion, but the veteran tight end failed to hang on and essentially sealed the loss with his drop. The narrow defeat came in the wake of another MVP-caliber season for the 2018 first-round pick, who completed 316 of 474 passes for a career-high 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. Jackson tossed only four interceptions as well and added 915 rushing yards and four scores on the ground, and he'll head into 2025 set to play out the third year of the five-year, $260 million extension he signed prior to the 2023 campaign.

Nacua caught six of 14 targets for 97 yards in Sunday's 28-22 NFC divisional-round loss to the Eagles.
|
Nacua was limited to 29 receiving yards in the first half, and snowy conditions made it difficult to generate offense through the air for much of the second half, but the star receiver came alive as the Rams tried to orchestrate a late comeback. He made a 37-yard catch along the sideline followed by a 10-yard reception two plays later to get the Rams within 13 yards of a game-winning score on their final drive, but they would come no closer in the season-ending loss. Nacua has established himself as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL with 2,476 receiving yards in his first 28 NFL regular-season games, and he's slated to lead LA's receiving corps in 2025, which will be the third year of the 2023 fifth-round draft pick's four-year rookie contract.

Baker racked up 164 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, five pass defenses and one forced fumble in 17 games during the 2024 regular season.
|
Since entering the NFL as a second-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Baker hasn't been involved too much in terms of turnovers (just seven interceptions, seven forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in 122 career contests). However, he's reached the century mark in tackles five times in eight campaigns, including a personal best (by 17) in 2024. Baker is under contract through the 2027 campaign, so the 29-year-old remains locked in as a top IDP option among the league's defensive backs.

Addison recorded three catches for 29 yards on eight targets in Monday's 27-9 wild-card loss to the Rams.
|
Though he and the Vikings went out of the playoffs with a whimper, Addison turned in a strong sophomore campaign. He finished the regular season with 63 catches on 99 targets for 875 yards and nine touchdowns while adding three carries for 20 yards and an additional score. On a per-game basis, Addison's production was nearly identical in comparison to his rookie season -- he played in two fewer games in 2024 and finished with seven fewer catches, 36 fewer yards and one less receiving touchdown. Addison has proven himself as a productive No. 2 wideout behind star receiver Justin Jefferson, and Addison is set to continue in that role next season in what will be the third year of his rookie contract. The Vikings' quarterback situation in 2025 isn't yet settled, however. Incumbent starter Sam Darnold is heading into unrestricted free agency, and if he departs, Minnesota could turn to 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy (knee) under center.

|
Davis finished his rookie season with 30 carries for 174 yards and a touchdown, as well as nine catches for 75 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. He also returned nine kickoffs for 232 yards.
|
Davis had just five touches on offense through the Week 12 bye, but the rookie fifth-round pick was more involved down the stretch while showing promising efficiency on the ground. With Breece Hall likely to reprise the lead role in 2025, Davis and fellow 2024 draft pick Braelon Allen will find it difficult to carve out enough touches to be meaningful fantasy contributors, barring a change to the status quo in the Jets' backfield.

Winston (shoulder) finished the 2024 season having completed 181 of 296 pass attempts for 2,212 yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while carrying 25 times for 83 yards and a touchdown in 12 appearances. He also lost two fumbles.
|
Winston injected life into the Cleveland passing attack after Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles injury Week 7, but the short-term boost eventually wore off. A three-game stretch in which he threw eight interceptions -- including multiple pick-sixes -- ended Winston's run as the starter by Week 16. He ended up being inactive as the emergency No. 3 quarterback for the final three games of the season due to a right shoulder injury, but the issue doesn't seem serious and enabled the Browns to turn the offense over to younger signal-callers in Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe down the stretch. Winston will enter the offseason as a free agent and could draw interest as a backup quarterback, though he's unlikely to find a team willing to enter the 2025 season with him as its starter, even as a bridge to a rookie or second-year signal-caller.

|
Judon finished the 2024 season with 41 total tackles (25 solo), including 5.5 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed, including an interception, over 17 games.
|
Judon was traded to the Falcons in August after three seasons with the Patriots, ultimately appearing in all 17 contests with Atlanta. The linebacker was unable to replicate his production from his time in New England though, securing just 5.5 sacks with the Falcons after compiling 32.0 sacks over 38 games with the Patriots. However, Judon did snatch his first career interception in Week 16 versus the Giants, returning it for a touchdown. The 32-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he'll likely have many suitors interested in signing him.

Tucker finished the 2024 regular season going 22-for-30 on field goals and 60-for-62 on extra points across 17 games.
|
The 2024 season was Tucker's toughest season to date by a wide margin. In 12 previous seasons, Tucker had never converted less than 82 percent of his field goal tries. This season, Tucker notched a 73.3 percent conversion rate, the second-worst figure among kickers with at least 30 attempts. He endured a particularly tough stretch in November when he went 4-for-8 on field goals and also missed two extra points. He turned things around down the stretch, making all three FGA (including two from 50+) and all 18 PATs in the final four games. A season like this means that Tucker is likely no longer the best kicker for fantasy but at age 35 and with a contract that could run through 2027, he can still be a fantasy asset.

Hall rushed 12 times for 57 yards while catching three of five targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He also ran in a two-point conversion.
|
Hall caught a six-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to cap the scoring with 2:30 remaining in the fourth quarter. That was the 503rd -- and possibly, final -- touchdown pass of Rodgers' NFL career. Hall finishes the 2024 season with 876 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 209 carries, along with 57 catches for 483 receiving yards and three receiving scores on 74 targets. He's likely to return as the lead back for the Jets in 2025, ahead of 2024 draft picks Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis.

Williams suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins.
|
Williams has been dealing with a hamstring injury for weeks but was able to suit up through a questionable tag for the Week 18 finale despite not practicing at all during the week. Prior to leaving against Miami, Williams merely recorded one QB hit. He finishes the 2024 campaign with 37 tackles (25 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and 18 QB hits across 16 appearances. It was a bit of a down year for the 27-year-old in what proved to be a disappointing season for the Jets as a whole. Williams has three years left on a four-year, $96-million extension and is signed through 2027.

Allgeier rushed nine times for 52 yards and brought in both targets for 17 yards in the Falcons' 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
|
Allgeier worked in his usual complementary role behind Bijan Robinson, who rushed for a career-high 170 yards and two touchdowns in the close loss. Allgeier's involvement on the ground represented a nice boost from the three carries he'd tallied in Week 17 against the Commanders, and his rushing yardage total was his second highest over the last six games. Allgeier projects to head into 2025, a contract year, in the same role he filled the last two seasons.

Thompson-Robinson completed two of three passes for 13 yards and rushed twice for three yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens in Week 18.
|
Thompson-Robinson entered for Cleveland's third drive of the game after starter Bailey Zappe threw a pick-six on the second possession. That was it for DTR, who had started and played fully in both of the Browns' two previous games. Cleveland's quarterback situation heading into the offseason is a mess, and it's safe to assume Thompson-Robinson will not be part of the solution in 2025. He completed 52 percent (61-of-118) of passes and threw six interceptions over seven games in 2024.
|
1/4/2025 8:24:00 PM
|
Zappe completed 16 of 31 passes for 170 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens. He added two rushes for two yards.
|
Zappe drew the start Saturday and ceded relatively limited work to Dorian Thompson-Robinson. The former's opportunity to start didn't go as planned, as he threw a pick-six on Cleveland's second possession and was unable to get the Browns into the end zone until early in the fourth quarter with the team down three scores. Zappe will become a free agent this offseason and will try to compete for a backup job during training camp for the 2025 campaign.
