New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley finished as the overall RB2 as a rookie and was a top-10 back last season, despite missing three games. As a result, the Penn State product is one of the most sought-after players in fantasy and should be drafted within the top-two picks of any fantasy draft. Barkley is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and the Giants upgraded

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones endured the highs and lows of a rookie QB in a roller coaster 2019 campaign. Jones played in 13 games and threw 24 touchdowns to 12 interceptions with a 61.9% completion percentage and averaged 233 yards-per-game. Jones main issue as a rookie was turnovers as he lost an NFL-high 11 fumbles last season. If Jones corrects his fumble issue,

The Las Vegas Raiders have traded rookie running back Lynn Bowden Jr. and a sixth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for a fourth-round pick. Vegas is set at running back with Josh Jacobs and solid backups like Jalen Richard and Devontae Booker, while the Dolphins have spent the past few seasons struggling with their running back position. Bowden will compete with Jordan Howard and Matt

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) is being activated off the Non-Football Injury list, which would make him eligible to play in Week 1. There had been questions all offseason about how long it would be before Samuel was healthy and able to return to the field, and while he might not be ready for a full workload, the fact that he won’t

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has agreed to a four-year extension worth over $80 million. The veteran receiver is set to be quarterback Tyrod Taylor‘s top option this year and then rookie quarterback Justin Herbert‘s top option for the next three seasons after this one. Allen remains one of the NFL’s most consistent wideouts and gets a boost in dynasty leagues now that

The San Francisco 49ers have waived seventh-round pick Jauan Jennings, a wide receiver out of Tennessee. Jennings was expected to compete for a roster spot on a team that lacks a standout wide receiver outside of Deebo Samuel, but now it looks like he’ll be heading for a practice squad spot unless another team decides to take a chance on him. His slow 40-time is

Rookie kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has beaten out Chase McLaughlin in the competition to be the kicker for the Indianapolis Colts. McLaughlin reportedly had a strong camp, but Blankenship’s college resume helped him win the role, leading to the team releasing McLaughlin. Blankenship was a career 82.5 percent kicker in college and made all 200 of his extra points. He should be a solid fantasy kicker

The Kansas City Chiefs have released running back DeAndre Washington. A former college teammate of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Washington wasn’t able to impress enough in camp to earn a spot in a backfield that has a lot of question marks behind rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Darrel Williams enters 2020 as the primary backup here and is a solid late-round fantasy pick, while Washington isn’t rosterable in

The Carolina Panthers have waived running back Reggie Bonnafon. Expected by many to serve as the insurance policy for starter Christian McCaffrey, it looks like that role now belongs to Mike Davis. Because of the oversized role McCaffrey plays, there’s no fantasy football value in this backfield as long as he’s healthy, but Davis now gets a pretty big boost as he’d be in line

The New England Patriots have released running back Lamar Miller, ending his tenure in New England before he played a single regular season game. Miller was coming off a torn ACL last preseason. Miller’s an interesting free agent if he’s fully recovered from the injury, as he rushed for 973 yards in 2018 with the Texans. With Miller gone, it looks like the Patriots will

The Atlanta Falcons have released wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. The former first-round pick’s contract with the Vikings expired at the end of last season and signed with Atlanta in March. While he’s never finished a season with more than 302 receiving yards, the fifth-year pro was expected by some to rebound in Atlanta on a team with plenty of question marks at receiver behind Julio

In a bit of surprise news, the Washington Football Team has waived wide receiver Trey Quinn. The third-year receiver had 26 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown last year, and while some thought he might step into a larger role in the slot in a depleted receiving corps, it appears someone else will have to step up instead. Steven Sims Jr. has already been

The Green Bay Packers have waived running back Dexter Williams, a 2019 sixth round pick for the team. After drafting A.J. Dillon this year, the Packers backfield was too crowded for both Jamaal Williams and Dexter Williams to have roles this year, so this move seems to indicate that Jamaal Williams will be the No. 3 back on the team’s depth chart. Jamaal Williams isn’t

The Houston Texans and quarterback Deshaun Watson have agreed to a four-year, $160 million extension. The deal locks Watson in as Houston’s franchise quarterback for the next few seasons while also giving him a chance to earn another big contract from the team in the future. Houston spent their offseason making some head-scratching moves with their skill position players that prompted some to wonder about

The Cleveland Browns parted ways with wide receivers Taywan Taylor and Damion Ratley in roster cutdowns on Saturday morning. Taylor spent one season with the Browns after being drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the third round of the 2017 draft. He was a popular fantasy sleeper at one time but he was never able to translate the hype into production on the field. Taylor

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton said he’s not taking his new opportunity as the starting signal-caller of the Patriots for granted. Newton was also named a team captain. “Anything they ask of me to do, it’s my job to do it,” Newton said. The former MVP with the Panthers took it as a compliment to be named the starting QB by a coach who

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson, who stood out in training camp, should be the biggest beneficiary of Adrian Peterson’s release. The third-round draft pick is a pass-catching threat and is an excellent fit for the offense, according to Peterson himself. Washington also has Bryce Love and Peyton Barber for early down snaps and J.D. McKissic as another pass-catching option. Even before AD’s

In an interview with NFL Network, new Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst called his situation the perfect fit. The 27-year-old was traded to Atlanta from Baltimore earlier this offseason after notching 30 receptions, 39 targets, 349 yards, and two touchdowns last season with the Ravens. His role on Baltimore decreased in 2019 with the emergence of Mark Andrews. On his new squad, Hurst is

The Washington Football Team plans to keep quarterback Alex Smith (leg) on their 53-man roster for the start of the regular season, according to sources. Smith has been battling to return to football for almost two full years after breaking his leg and dealing with multiple complications that almost cost him his leg. There remains plenty of uncertainty regarding Smith’s health, and his place on

The NFL has conditionally reinstated Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory on Friday, according to sources. However, Gregory cannot practice with the team until Oct. 5 and will also serve a six-game suspension before he can make his 2020 debut. The former second-round pick in 2015 didn’t play at all last year and hasn’t played a full season yet, but he could be an X-factor
