Kelce scores three touchdowns


Unfortunately, for many of you, this was not a good fantasy week. There were a lot of big-name players that had terrible games. There were a few big games along the way, but the bad performances outweighed many of the good showings. Scores were down in fantasy leagues. Hopefully, your teams did enough to win their games in Week 11. 

Titans 27, Packers 17

Fantasy Stud: Derrick Henry. Henry had another one of his big games. He ran 28 times for 87 yards and a touchdown. He also had two catches for 45 yards, giving him 132 total yards and a touchdown. Henry scored 25.4 fantasy points, giving him at least 23 fantasy points three of four games. Henry continues to be one of the most consistent fantasy backs out there. He is over 1,000-rushing yards for the season after just 10 games. 

Fantasy Dud: Robert Tonyan. Tonyan had just two catches for 19 yards. He has disappeared in recent weeks, failing to hit double-digit fantasy points five straight games. He has two games with double-digit fantasy points but the down games outweigh the good ones. He is a hard player for fantasy teams to trust. He just isn’t getting the consistent work in this offense. 

Game Notes: Christian Watson continues to emerge for the Packers. He had four receptions for 48 yards and two touchdowns. He has five scores his last two games.

Treylon Burks had his first 100-yard game in the NFL. He caught seven passes for 111 yards on eight targets. He has been targeted 14 games his first two games back from injury. 

Saints 27, Rams 20

Fantasy Stud: Andy Dalton. Daltnon will keep the starting job for the Saints for now after his big game in this one. He was 21-of-25 for 260 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. This was his second three-touchdown game of the season. H topped 20 fantasy points for the second time. 

Fantasy Dud: Ben Skowronek. Skowronek got al to of love with Cooper Kupp out, but he didn’t help this week. He caught just a pass for four yards. It is clear that he is not Cooper Kupp. He might have a few big games in this offense, but don’t expect up and down production based on his track record. 

Game Notes: Matthew Stafford was unable to finish the game, getting put in to concussion protocol. He was 11-of-18 for 159 yard and two touchdowns without a turnover before getting hurt. 

Chris Olave had five receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown. This was his first 100-yard game of the season and third score. 

Eagles 17, Colts 16

Fantasy Stud: Jalen Hurts. Hurts didn't have one of his huge games, but managed 27.1 fantasy points despite not throwing for 200 yard. He played a solid game, going 18-of-25 for 190 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 86 yards and a touchdown. Hurts has 23-plus fantasy points four straight games.  

Fantasy Dud: Miles Sanders. Sanders had quiet game despite getting a decent workload. He ran 13 times for just 47 yards and caught only a pass for a yard. He failed to scored six fantasy points for the second straight game. He is having a decent season but disappeared at time for his fantasy owners. 

Game Notes: Jonathan Taylor continues his resurgence. He had 22 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown. He also had three catches for 10 yards, scoring 17.4 fantasy points.

Parris Campbell had five receptions for 67 yards. Campbell has double-digit fantasy points four of six games.

Falcons 27, Bears 24

Fantasy Stud: David Montgomery. Montgomery had a good showing as the top back with Khalil Herbert hurt. He ran 17 times for 67 yards and a touchdown. He also led the Bears in receiving yards, catching three passes for 54 yards. He had 123 total yards and a score. He had more than 20 fantasy points for the first time all season. Montgomery has a chance to finish the season strong in an emerging offense as the No. 1 back. 

Fantasy Dud: Drake London. London caught just a pass for to yards on only one target. The rookie has been a lot quieter since a fast start to the season. He has double-digit fantasy points just once his last eight games. He has not topped 50 yards in a game since Week 3. He should not be in fantasy lineups right now. 

Game Notes: Kyle Pitts suffered a knee injury and was unable to return to the game. It just adds insult to injury to all his fantasy owners. He had three receptions for 43 yards before the injury. 

Marcus Mariota played a strong game, scoring two touchdowns while not turning the ball over. He was 13-of-20 for 131 yards and a touchdown. And he ran 13 times for 25 yards and a score. 

Lions 31, Giants 18

Fantasy Stud: Jamaal Williams. Williams continues to pile up the touchdowns. He had 17 carries for 64 yards and three touchdowns. He doesn’t catch passes or run for many yards, but as long as he keeps finding the end zone, Williams is a must start for fantasy teams He has 12 touchdowns on the season. 

Fantasy Dud: Saquon Barkley. Barkley finally had a stinker of a game for his fantasy owners. He ran 15 times for just 22 yards. He had two receptions for 13 yards. You did not see this game coming from Barkley int what looked like a prime matchup for him. It happens, though. He will be fine going forward. 

Game Notes: Wan’Dale Robinson was iffy to play but played and had his best game. He had nine receptions for 100 yards. It was his first 100-yard game as a pro. Unfortunately, Robinson hurt his knee late in the game. Reports are he suffered a torn ACL, ending his season. 

De’Andre Swift continues to get little weekly work. The good news is he found the end zone this week. The bad news is he had just eight touches compared to 10 for Justin Jackson and 17 for Williams. 

Patriots 10, Jets 3

Fantasy Stud: Patriots defense. This unit won the game for New England. They held the Jets to just three points and 103 total yards of offense. And the special teams won the game late, returning a punt for the game-winning score. The Patriots also had four sacks in the game. It was a dominating performance by this unit. 

Fantasy Dud: Garrett Wilson. Wilson was really held down, catching two passes for just 12 yards. Wilson had 90-plus yards two straight games before this one. He even had a 100-yard showing two weeks ago against this same Patriots defense. It was not a good showing for the rookie, who has been erratic throughout his rookie year. 

Game Notes: Zach Wilson had an awful showing, going 9-of-22 for just 77 yards. He didn’t score a touchdown or turn the ball over. 

Damien Harris had one of his better games in several weeks. He led the Patriots in rushing, running eight times for 65 yards. He also had two receptions for 28 yards, giving him 93 total yards. 

Ravens 13, Panthers 3

Fantasy Stud: Demarcus Robinson. Robinson had his best game of the year, catching nine passes for 128 yards. This was his first 100-yard game of the year. He has been getting more chances in recent weeks, having six-plus catches and 60-plus yards two of three games. 

Fantasy Dud: D’Onta Foreman. Foreman had a rough game. He ran 11 times for just 24 yards and didn catch a pass. He had 100-yard games three of four before this dud of a game. He does have fewer than 25-rushing yards two of three, though. Foreman has been boom or bust in a starting role for the Panthers.

Game Notes: Mark Andrews returned from his injuries and looked just fine. He had six receptions for 63 yards. Andrews has double-digit fantasy points six games. 

Baker Mayfield didn’t do a whole lot to show he should be the No. 1 quarterback for the Panthers. He was 21-of-33 for 196 yards with two interceptions. He failed to lead the Panthers to a touchdown in the game. 

Commanders 23, Texans 10

Fantasy Stud: Antonio Gibson. There was not much offense in this game, but Gibson was solid. He had 18 carries for 72 yards. He also had three receptions for 31 yards, giving him 103 total yards. He led the Commanders in rush attempts. Gibson has at least 13 fantasy points four of five games. 

Fantasy Dud: Dameon Pierce. Pierce had a game to forget, rushing 10 times for just eight yards. He also had two receptions for nine yards. So he finished the game with 17 total yards on 12 touches. He remains a fine play for fantasy teams, but could have some up and down games in an offense that is struggling right now.

Game Notes: Logan Thomas had five receptions for 65 yards. His reception total tied a season high and his yardage was a season best. He had double-digit fantasy points for the second time this year. 

Curtis Samuel scored his first rushing touchdown of the year. He had a catch for 10 yards and two carries for 18 yards and a score. Samuel has double-digit fantasy points three of five games. 

Bills 31, Browns 23

Fantasy Stud: Amari Cooper. Cooper had a huge game in defeat, catching eight passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns. This was his fourth 100-yard game of the season. He topped 30 fantasy points for the first time all year. He has been a consistent play for fantasy owners as the top target in this offense. 

Fantasy Dud: Nick Chubb. The Bills did a great job of shutting down Chubb. He ran 14 times for just 19 yards. He did make a few plays in the air, finishing with three receptions for 48 yards. Chubb still finished with fewer than double-digit fantasy points for just the second time all year. It was the first time all year he did not reach at least 55-rushing yards. 

Game Notes: Jacoby Brissett had his first three-touchdown game of the season. He was 28-of-41 for 324 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. He has 24-plus fantasy points two of three games.

James Cook is getting more and more chances in the Bills offense. He had 11 carries for 86 yards. It was just his second game with double-digit rushes all season. His 86-rushing yards was a season high. 

Raiders 22, Broncos 16

Fantasy Stud: Davante Adams. Adams had another huge game, catching seven passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime. Adams has three straight 100-yard games and topped 27 fantasy points in all three of those games. He is playing at an elite level once again. 

Fantasy Dud: Russell Wilson. Wilson had a great matchup, but didn’t do much for fantasy owners as usual. He was 24-of-31 for 247 yards without a touchdown. Wilson scored just 13.2 fantasy points. He has more than 20 fantasy points just two games all season. He continues to be a huge bust for fantasy owners. 

Game Notes: Melvin Gordon took a backseat to Latavius Murray much of the game. Gordon ran eight times for 31 yards while Murray had 17 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown. 

Josh Jacobs had his fourth 100-yard game of the season. He ran 24 times for 109 yards and caught three passes for 51 yards. Jacobs has 20-plus fantasy points four times this season. 

Cowboys 40, Vikings 3

Fantasy Stud: Tony Pollard. Pollard is one some kind of hot streak. He didn’t even cool off despite the return of Ezekiel Elliott. Pollard scored two touchdowns and had nearly 200 total yards. He led the Cowboys in rushing and receiving. Pollard ran 15 times for 80 yards and had six receptions for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Pollard has 21-plus fantasy points three straight games. 

Fantasy Dud: Justin Jefferson. Jefferson had a rare down game for his standards. He had just three receptions for 33 yards. The entire Vikings offense was a mess, leading to the rare poor performance from Jefferson. He will rebound, but this game likely stung a lot of his fantasy owners. 

Game Notes: Ezekiel Elliott returned to the lineup from his knee injury and had 15 carries for 42 yards and two touchdowns. Elliott hasn’t done a whole lot on the ground this year, but has six touchdowns. 

Dak Prescott had a great performance, missing on just three throws. He was 22-of-25 for 276 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover. Prescott has 23-plus fantasy points three straight. 

Bengals 37, Steelers 30 

Fantasy Stud: Samaje Perine. Perine had an unexpected huge game, taking advantage of more playing time. He scored three receiving touchdowns. He had 11 carries for 30 yards and four receptions for 52 yards and three scores. Perine had just one game with double-digit fantasy points before this 30.2-point showing. He will have big value if Joe Mixon has to miss any time. 

Fantasy Dud: Tyler Boyd. The Bengals threw for more than 350 yards but Boyd was relatively quiet. He had two receptions for 42 yards. Boyd had at least 12 fantasy points three of four games before this one. He does have fewer than 50 yards three straight, though, so his production has been a little down lately. 

Game Notes: Joe Mixon was forced from the game early, going into concussion protocol. He had seven carries for 20 yards and three catches for 42 yards before exiting the game. 

Jaylen Warren was knocked out very early in this one, leaving with a hamstring injury. He was unable to return and had just a catch for nine yards before the injury. 

Chiefs 30, Chargers 27

Fantasy Stud: Travis Kelce. Kelce had a monster performance, finishing with six receptions for 115 yards and three touchdowns. Kelce had a season-high 35.5 fantasy points. He has three straight games with at least 20 fantasy points. He has 100-yard games three of five. Kelce remains the best in the game right now and is getting it done on a weekly basis for all his fantasy owners. 

Fantasy Dud: Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The Chiefs were down all sorts of options in the passing game, so many thought Valdes-Scantling might be the top option at receiver for the Chiefs this week. Well, that didn’t happen. He had just a catch for 18 yards, posting numbers that were actually worse than normal. It was not the game you expected from Valdes-Scantling, especially when you consider his chance to have a big role. 

Game Notes: Mike Williams didn’t last long in his first game back, injuring his other ankle. He had a catch for 15 yards before the injury.

Kadarius Toney is another player that was injured early, leaving with a hamstring injury. He didn’t catch a pass before the injury. Toney has a history of injury, so this latest one is not a good sign for the rest of the season.

Relief Pitcher Preview

Player Notes
Jayden Daniels Mar 28 2:50pm ET
Jayden Daniels

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels had a solid workout during his school's pro day on Wednesday after he chose not to throw at the NFL scouting combine in February. Daniels measured in at 6-foot-3 5/8 and 210 pounds with 9 3/8-inch hands. He didn't run a 40-yard dash or do any other athletic testing, but he completed 52 of his 56 passes. Most of Daniels' misfires came on deeper passes and throws outside the numbers. He appeared to improve as his throwing session went on. "I can't say that it's been an A-plus workout, but it's been solid," NFL Network's Bucky Brooks said. Daniels' pro day session might not have been a game-changer for his outlook, but he was pleased with the results as a whole, and he's still expected to be a top-five pick in the upcoming NFL draft, possibly as early as No. 2 overall to the Washington Commanders.

Brian Thomas Jr. Mar 28 2:50pm ET
Brian Thomas Jr.

Although LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. stands in the shadow of teammate Malik Nabers for the upcoming NFL draft, the 6-foot-2 7/8, 209-pounder is viewed as a possible top-20 pick in April. "He's about as naturally talented as you can find at the position," NFL Network's Bucky Brooks said. "Big, fast, physical. Runs great routes. Natural catcher. Does a really good job of watching the ball into his hands. He can shine." The biggest question for Thomas is whether he can step outside the shadow of Nabors and be an alpha dog for an NFL team. Because he didn't work out at LSU's pro day on Wednesday, Thomas may not have answered that question completely, but it doesn't mean that a receiver-needy team won't be willing to take him in the first round in 2024.

Josiah Deguara Mar 28 2:30pm ET
Josiah Deguara

Former Green Bay Packers tight end Josiah Deguara signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, according to a source. Deguara will head to the AFC after spending the first four years of his NFL career playing for the Packers. Green Bay took him in the third round (94th overall) in 2020 out of Cincinnati. In his four years with the team, he recorded 47 catches on 58 targets for 436 yards and only two touchdowns in 50 games played (10 starts). In 15 regular-season games (four starts) in 2023, the 27-year-old caught just eight passes for 65 yards and no scores. Deguara will mostly be useful to the Jaguars for his blocking skills on offense and on special teams, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to make an impact catching the ball behind Evan Engram, the team's top pass-catching tight end.

Ed Oliver Mar 28 2:30pm ET
Ed Oliver

The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent defensive tackle DeShawn Williams to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday. Williams will give the Bills continued depth for their defensive tackle room that went into free agency with just Ed Oliver and Eli Ankou under contract. The 31-year-old Williams played in 16 games (10 starts) for the Carolina Panthers last year and finished with 33 tackles (13 solo) and seven QB hits. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2016 with the Cincinnati Bengals out of Clemson, and the Bills will be the fourth different team he's played for in six seasons. In total, Williams has racked up 148 tackles (72 solo), nine sacks, 11 tackles for loss, 30 QB hits, one interception and nine passes defended in 66 games (44 starts). Williams will be off the IDP fantasy radar.

Michael Hoecht Mar 28 2:10pm ET
Michael Hoecht

The Los Angeles Rams re-signed linebacker Michael Hoecht to an undisclosed deal earlier this week. Hoecht didn't receive any offers from other teams this offseason after the Rams placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on him. The 26-year-old entered the NFL in 2021 with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Brown University and he has 124 tackles (74 solo), 10.5 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, 20 QB hits and two forced fumbles in 51 games (26 starts) in his three seasons in the league. Last year he started in all 17 regular-season games for LA and recorded a career-high 81 tackles (45 solo), a career-high six sacks, seven tackles for loss, 11 QB hits and a forced fumble.

J.K. Dobbins Mar 28 11:00am ET
J.K. Dobbins

Free-agent running back J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) is scheduled to visit with the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The former Baltimore Raven suffered a torn Achilles early in the 2023 campaign, but he was cleared for football activities this week, so he will likely start drawing more interest on the free-agent market. Originally a second-round pick by Baltimore in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, Dobbins posted 805 rushing yards and nine scores on just 134 attempts (6.0 YPC) as a rookie, but he missed the entire 2021 campaign with a torn ACL. He averaged 5.7 yards per carry in 2022 and saw his 2023 season end after just eight rushing attempts with an Achilles injury. Given his injury woes early in his career, it's fair to be concerned about his future production. Regardless of his landing spot, he's likely to be eased into action, meaning his fantasy upside is capped early in 2024.

Geno Smith Mar 27 8:10pm ET
Geno Smith

The Seattle Seahawks are looking to make some additions to their offensive line this offseason. Recently, Seahawks general manager John Schneider said the team has a lot to figure out on the o-line. This team is without left guard Damien Lewis and right guard Phil Haynes who both left for free agency. Possibly, the Seahawks use the 16th overall pick in the draft to add some offensive line. It appears Seattle is still looking to compete next season with Geno Smith slated to be under center. Most of the Seahawks offensive weapons are back, but this team could be in serious trouble if they don't patch up their o-line soon.

From RotoBaller

Nate Sudfeld Mar 27 8:00pm ET
Nate Sudfeld

The Detroit Lions have re-signed quarterback Nate Sudfeld on Wednesday. The 30-year-old served as the backup to Jared Goff during the 2022 season. He was slated to compete with Teddy Bridgewater, but he has retired this offseason. That being said, Sudfeld figures to compete with Hendon Hooker for the backup job in Detroit next season. The former sixth-round pick has played in six games since debuting in 2017. Sudfeld won't offer any fantasy value heading into next season.

From RotoBaller

Malik Nabers Mar 27 4:50pm ET
Malik Nabers

Former LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers impressed at the University's Pro Day on Wednesday, running an unofficial 4.35 40-yard dash and excelling in both the vertical jump (42") and broad jump (10'9"). The 20-year-old is coming off a spectacular junior campaign consisting of catching 89 passes for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns. His excellent athletic testing numbers certainly won't hurt his draft stock, and many analysts believe he could be taken ahead of Marvin Harrison Jr. in the 2024 NFL Draft next month. Nabers has visited or will visit with the Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, New York Jets, and New York Giants this week.

Jadeveon Clowney Mar 27 4:30pm ET
Jadeveon Clowney

Free-agent edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney is signing a two-year, $24 million contract with the Carolina Panthers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 2014 No. 1 overall pick spent last season with the Baltimore Ravens, and it was one of the best campaigns of his career. He tied a career-high with 9.5 sacks and did not miss a game for the first time since 2017. The 31-year-old still has plenty of ability, but his surroundings in Carolina won't be as strong as they were with the Ravens. The South Carolina native is now closer to home, and he'll look to help the struggling franchise accelerate its rebuild in 2024.

From RotoBaller

Jalyn Holmes Mar 27 3:20pm ET
Jalyn Holmes

The New York Jets re-signed defensive end Jalyn Holmes to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday. The Minnesota Vikings originally took Holmes with their fourth-round selection (102nd overall) in 2018 out of Ohio State. He spent the first three years of his career in Minnesota before one-year stops with the New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears and Jets each of the last three seasons. In just five games in New York in 2023, the 28-year-old pass-rusher had five tackles (three solo) and one sack. Holmes' first defensive snaps for the Jets last year didn't come until the regular season finale. He will be competing for a depth role once again on the team's defensive line in training camp this summer.

Neville Hewitt Mar 27 3:10pm ET
Neville Hewitt

The Houston Texans and free-agent linebacker Neville Hewitt, who led the league in 2023 in special teams tackles, reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. In 16 regular-season games (zero starts) last year in his third year with the Texans, Hewitt had 14 tackles (eight solo). The 30-year-old was a standout on special teams but played just four defensive snaps and is unlikely to be a big part of Houston's defense again in 2024. In his nine-year NFL career with the Texans, Miami Dolphins and New York Jets, Hewitt has recorded a total of 440 tackles (284 solo), 7.5 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, 19 QB hits, three interceptions, 13 passes defended, two forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 129 games (44 starts).

Sam Franklin Mar 27 3:10pm ET
Sam Franklin

The Carolina Panthers re-signed safety and special teams ace Sam Franklin on an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Franklin, a former undrafted free agent out of Temple, began his NFL career in 2020 with the Panthers and has spent all four of his NFL seasons with the organization. The 28-year-old defensive back had a career-high 30 tackles (20 solo) and an interception returned for a touchdown in 17 games (four starts) in his fourth year in Carolina in 2023. Franklin played 310 snaps on special teams and will likely continue in that role in his fifth year with the team in 2024. In his four NFL campaigns, Franklin has just 97 tackles (69 solo), one sack, the interception returned for a score, five passes defended and a force fumble in 64 games (nine starts).

Jayden Daniels Mar 27 3:00pm ET
Jayden Daniels

The Las Vegas Raiders may be targeting a quarterback that can escape the pocket and pick up chunk gains with his legs in the upcoming NFL draft. When asked what type of QB gives opposing defenses the most problems from his experience as a former linebacker, head coach Anthony Pierce said, "A damn runner." The Raiders are scheduled to meet with LSU QB and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels on Wednesday after his pro-day workout. Daniels threw for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns for the Tigers last year and also ran for 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns. In order to snag Daniels, the Raiders will likely have to move up from 13th overall in the first round, and the team has expressed the willingness to do what it takes to make that happen. Pierce recruited Daniels out of Southern California five years ago to play at Arizona State, so he's very familiar with him.

Talanoa Hufanga Mar 27 3:00pm ET
Talanoa Hufanga

The San Francisco 49ers expect safety Talanoa Hufanga (knee) to return from his ACL injury "sometime in training camp" this summer, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The head coach also sounded optimistic about Hufanga's ability to return to 100 percent of his old self. The Niners would like to add a safety, but they told recent visitor Julian Blackmon that a new addition wouldn't necessarily be guaranteed a starting spot in 2024. Hufanga probably won't be ready to go for Day 1 of training camp as he works his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 11 of 2023. The 24-year-old defensive back is one of the rising young options at his position in IDP fantasy leagues when healthy. Hufanga had 52 tackles and three interceptions last year before suffering his season-ending injury.

Tank Bigsby Mar 27 2:50pm ET
Tank Bigsby

It's clear that the Jacksonville Jaguars want to keep lead running back Travis Etienne Jr. fresh for the entire season in 2024. In the final six games in 2023, the Jaguars averaged just 79 yards per game on the ground. They finished 23rd overall with 96.8 yards per game on the ground. In an effort to keep Etienne fresher, part of the team's plan in the run game is getting second-year back Tank Bigsby more involved. He played just 141 snaps in his rookie season, carrying the ball 50 times for 132 yards and two touchdowns. A couple of fluky turnovers ensured he didn't see much more time down the stretch. "We have to get Tank going, the bottom line. He is too good, that's why we drafted him. I think early he had some 'what is that' type plays for whatever reason right or wrong. Again, in and out of the lineup," said head coach Doug Pederson.

Josh Reynolds Mar 27 2:40pm ET
Josh Reynolds

Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds signed a two-year deal worth up to $14 million with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday, according to a source. The Broncos have been one of the most quiet teams in free agency this year, with Reynolds being their biggest addition by far. The 29-year-old will help replace Jerry Jeudy, who was traded to the Cleveland Browns. Reynolds caught 40 of his 64 targets last year in Detroit for 608 yards and five touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Courtland Sutton will remain Denver's unquestioned No. 1 wideout, but Reynolds has a chance to be their No. 2 if he can beat out Tim Patrick (Achilles) and Marvin Mims Jr. in training camp. With either quarterback Jarrett Stidham or a rookie running the Broncos' offense in 2024, there won't be much fantasy upside for Reynolds in his new home.

Cordarrelle Patterson Mar 27 3:13am ET
Cordarrelle Patterson

Dynasty | The Steelers have signed utility player Cordarrelle Patterson. Dynasty Analysis: A lightning rod in dynasty leagues seemingly for his entire career, Patterson lands with the Steelers hours after the NFL adopted new kickoff return rules. It's going to be interesting to see just how Pittsburgh employs him as he can obviously return kicks but also help out at running back or receiver. In the end, it's hard to see much value from Patterson, especially in dynasty leagues. However, he's certainly a player to monitor as his role becomes more and more clear.

Uchenna Nwosu Mar 26 11:20pm ET
Uchenna Nwosu

Seattle Seahawks president of football operations John Schneider said that both offensive tackle Abraham Lucas (knee) and linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (pectoral) are on track to be ready for the start of the 2024 season. Schneider is unsure if safety Jerrick Reed II (knee) will be ready, but he did say that Reed's rehab has gone well. Lucas, 25, had knee surgery at the end of last season, but he should be ready to go as the team's right tackle later this fall. Nwosu, 27, suffered a torn pectoral muscle in 2023 that limited him to six games. Getting the former second-round pick in 2018 out of USC back will be big news for Seattle's pass rush in 2024, as Nwosu picked up career-highs in combined tackles (66), sacks (9.5), tackles for loss (12) and QB hits (26) in 17 starts in 2022 in his first year in Seattle.

Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Mazi Smith (shoulder) carried a four- to six-month timetable after having shoulder surgery shortly after last season, but he is expected to be ready for training camp this summer. As long as Smith doesn't encounter any setbacks as he rehabs his shoulder this offseason, the 22-year-old should be ready for training camp at the end of the July and for the start of the 2024 season. After being taken 26th overall in the first round last year out of Michigan, Smith played in all 17 regular-season games (three starts) and recorded only 13 tackles (nine solo) and one sack in a depth role. He could carve out a bigger role on the interior of Dallas' defensive line in Year 2, but Smith isn't going to be on the fantasy radar in IDP leagues.
