| 3/9/2025 2:37:00 PM | Bolton signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Chiefs on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Bolton's deal includes $30 million in fully guaranteed salary, indicating that he'll remain a stalwart over the middle of Kansas City's defense moving forward. The 5-foot-11 linebacker, who turns 25 years old Monday, was set to hit free agency after putting up over 100 tackles in all but one of the last four seasons. This includes the 2022 campaign when he finished second in the NFL in tackles with 180. Bolton should have a great chance to record over 100 tackles once again in 2025. | |
| 3/5/2025 1:31:00 PM | Metcalf requested a trade from the Seahawks on Wednesday, and Seattle has agreed to explore moving the wideout, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. |
| According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Metcalf -- who has one year left on his contract -- is seeking a new deal, so any trade would likely be contingent on the acquiring team being willing to extend him. The 27-year-old wideout is coming off a season in which he posted a 66-992-5 receiving line over 15 games, and while that level of production represented a step back from previous years, Metcalf is still likely to draw ample interest around the league from teams looking to add a field-stretching playmaker. Seattle released longtime slot wideout Tyler Lockett on Wednesday, so the team's receiving corps could look dramatically different in 2025 if Metcalf is ultimately traded. | |
| 2/17/2025 2:21:00 PM | Heinicke saw spot duty in four regular-season games in 2024, completing three of five pass attempts for 28 yards and also rushing two times for 20 yards. |
| Heinicke's lack of work was expected, as long as the Chargers' starting quarterback, Justin Herbert remained healthy. The 31-year-old joined the franchise late in training camp due to a trade with the Falcons and ultimately won the backup job from Easton Stick. With Heinicke set to be an unrestricted free agent, he may find himself in a different uniform next season. | |
| 2/14/2025 9:43:00 PM | 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. | |

| 2/12/2025 1:59:00 PM | Pratt informed the Bengals on Wednesday of his request to be traded, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Pratt, a longtime linchpin of Cincinnati's linebacker corps, led the team with a career-high 143 tackles (80 solo) to go with two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 appearances in 2024. The Bengals' decision to shift from Lou Anarumo to Al Golden at defensive coordinator foreshadowed a potential parting of ways with Pratt, who ought to have a fair trade market heading into his age-29 season. If Pratt is able to achieve a favorable landing spot, he boasts the experience and skill set to remain a notable fantasy contributor in IDP formats. | |
| 2/9/2025 10:50:00 PM | Smith brought in four of five targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday. |
| Smith had enjoyed his fair share of success against Steve Spagnuolo's Chiefs defenses in the previous two meetings, including the Eagles' narrow Super Bowl LVII loss to Kansas City two years prior when he'd recorded seven receptions for 100 yards. Therefore, Smith's team-leading yardage total Sunday wasn't exactly a surprise, and he got to that number with a back-breaking 46-yard touchdown grab on a perfectly thrown ball by Jalen Hurts late in the third quarter. Smith was particularly consistent down the stretch of the regular season and throughout the postseason, posting a combined 39-470-4 line on 44 targets from Week 15 on. Smith enters the second season of a $75 million extension in 2025, so he'll once again project as a key component of the offense as the Eagles look to win back-to-back titles. | |
| 1/27/2025 2:28:00 PM | Johnson had five carries for 19 yards and secured his only target for a gain of zero yards during 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. |
| Johnson worked behind backfield leader James Cook, and above rookie fourth-round pick Ray Davis, during Buffalo's narrow season-ending loss to Kansas City. While suiting up for all 17 regular-season games, Johnson compiled 41 carries for 213 yards (5.1 YPC) and one touchdown, while also hauling in 18 of 25 targets for 284 yards and another three scores. He compiled 130 kick return yards, as well. Johnson is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. | |
| 1/21/2025 3:25:00 PM | Flowers finished the season with 74 catches for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns. He suffered a knee injury in Week 18 against the Browns that sidelined him for the Ravens' postseason run. |
| The second-year man took a step forward after a promising debut. He had three fewer catches than he did as a rookie but totaled 200 more receiving yards in spite of that. Flowers' 19 catches of 20 or more yards tied for fourth among receivers this season and his 6.3 YAC average ranked in the 85th percentile at his position. His five 100-yard games also tied for first in the NFL. Flowers is now established as the No.1 option in Baltimore's passing game and has shown that he can be an upper-echelon fantasy producer even in an offense that had the second-fewest pass attempts in the NFL. | |
| 1/19/2025 10:02:00 PM | 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. | |
| 1/19/2025 9:39:00 PM | Akers had five carries for 39 yards in Minnesota's wild-card-round loss to the Rams. He finished the season with 104 carries for 444 yards rushing, 14 receptions for 68 yards and five total touchdowns. |
| Akers played the first five games of the season with Houston (amassing 147 yards rushing) and was traded to the Vikings where he initially was third string. He soon overtook Ty Chandler as the backup to Aaron Jones and had a productive second half of the season. Akers showed some big-play ability with 232 yards rushing, 48 yards receiving and three touchdowns in his last eight games. He becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season, but the Vikings would seem likely to want to bring him back considering they've traded for him in consecutive seasons. | |
| 1/19/2025 10:03:00 AM | Fairbairn converted two of four field-goal attempts and missed his lone extra-point try in Saturday's 23-14 divisional-round playoff loss to Kansas City. |
| Fairbairn missed badly on a 55-yard field-goal attempt, which appeared to have been impacted by the winds blowing through Kansas City. He also had an attempt blocked and shanked an extra-point try. During the regular season, Fairbairn connected at an 86-percent rate (36 of 42) on field goals, 94-percent (34 of 36) on extra points, and was tied for fifth among kickers with 142 points. The 30-year-old is normally a reliable kicker, and none of Saturday's miscues should impact his status in 2025, the second year of a three-year extension signed in March 2024. | |
| 1/15/2025 3:20:00 PM | Boswell converted 41 of 44 field-goal attempts while making all 35 of his extra-point tries over 17 regular-season appearances with the Steelers in 2024. |
| Boswell was a bright spot for the Steelers during the 2024 campaign, as he set career-best marks in field goals made and makes from 50-plus yards while staying healthy for a second consecutive season. The 33-year-old still has two years remaining on his contract, and the Steelers are unlikely to be motivated to seek out another option ahead of the 2025 season given his production this year. | |
| 1/14/2025 11:14:00 PM | 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. | |
| 1/13/2025 4:04:00 PM | Reed said Monday that he won't need surgery on his dislocated shoulder, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. |
| He missed the end of Sunday's playoff loss to the Eagles but should be ready for OTAs in the spring. It was a disappointing end to a disappointing season in which 72.3 percent of Reed's receiving yards came in the first nine games. He appeared well on his way to a 1,000-yard campaign for much of the season, before averaging 29.6 receiving yards and 3.6 targets after a Week 10 bye, ultimately finishing with a 55-857-6 receiving line and 20-163-1 on the ground. Reed offers an unusual combination of rushing contributions and big receiving plays from the slot, but it's hard to say if/when he'll progress beyond boom/bust-WR3 status for fantasy. | |
| 1/12/2025 2:47:00 PM | Lloyd recorded six tackles (four solo) with 1.0 sacks during Jacksonville's Week 18 loss to Indianapolis. |
| The 26-year-old tied for fifth on the team in tackles in the season finale and recorded his second sack of the season. Lloyd totaled 113 tackles (61 solo) with 2.0 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 16 games this season. The 2022 first-round pick is entering the final guaranteed year of his contract in 2025, and Jacksonville will need to decide during the offseason whether to exercise his fifth-year option for 2026. | |
| 1/11/2025 8:21:00 PM | Herbert completed 14 of 32 pass attempts for 242 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions with no rushing stats in Saturday's wild-card round loss to the Texans. |
| Herbert picked an inopportune time to have the worst passing game of his promising career, as Saturday's four-pick performance was the primary cause of the Chargers' season coming to an abrupt end. The 26-year-old is now 0-2 in two career playoff appearances, which comes on the heels of a solid regular season (3,870-23-3) in head coach Jim Harbaugh's first season with Los Angeles. Herbert and the Chargers' more-balanced offense will have to regroup for the 2025 campaign despite finishing the season well ahead of franchise expectations. | |
| 1/6/2025 6:57:00 PM | Byard tallied 14 tackles and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. |
| In his ninth season in the NFL, Byard posted 130 tackles and 2.0 sacks. The safety has now recorded at least 108 stops in four of the last five campaigns. Byard is going into the last year of his contract with the Bears, and he should remain an excellent IDP. | |

| 1/5/2025 8:24:00 PM | Charbonnet rushed 14 times for 59 yards while collecting a lateral for 32 receiving yards in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams. |
| Charbonnet started the Seahawks' final game of the regular season with Kenneth Walker (ankle) mending on injured reserve. The 23-year-old Charbonnet had a peculiar stat line when he supplanted his modest 59 rushing yards with 32 receiving yards on a lateral from Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Charbonnet technically did not record a target or reception in Sunday's season finale, but his combined efforts brought the well-rounded backup up to 909 combined yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns across 17 games this year. Expect Charbonnet to continue establishing himself as a candidate to be Seattle's every-down back as the aforementioned Walker enters the final year of his four-year contract. | |
| 1/5/2025 6:21:00 PM | Bigsby carried the ball 14 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts. |
| The second-year RB split the workload in the Jaguars' backfield with Travis Etienne, and while Etienne was more productive in terms of overall yardage (60 yards on 16 touches), Bigsby's one-yard TD plunge in the first quarter was the only score either of them managed. Bigsby wrapped up the 2024 campaign with 766 rushing yards on 168 carries, good for a 4.6 YPC that was far superior to Etienne's 3.7 mark, but the latter offers more as a pass catcher. The duo seems likely to remain in a timeshare to begin 2025. | |
| 12/26/2024 1:45:00 PM | Long (undisclosed) will not be joining the Titans' 53-man roster after failing his physical Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. |
| Long was waived by the Lions on Tuesday after playing five games with Detroit, finishing with seven tackles (three solo). He was claimed off waivers by the Titans on Wednesday, but he was unable to pass his physical due to an undisclosed injury and will not be on Tennessee's active roster for the final two games of the 2024 regular season. Long would have the ability to sign with a team once he is fully recovered from his injury. | |
