Dynasty Fantasy Football Player News

The latest report indicates it's little more than a foregone conclusion Las Vegas takes Jeanty with the sixth overall pick in next week's draft. It's just a bit bold to say anyone is going anywhere outside of the first overall selection. However, the Raiders look to be the first team on the list who would realistically consider Jeanty in round one. If this is the case, he would be locked into the RB1 territory from day one. Still, there would also be a bit of a buyer beware tag on him as Pete Carroll does love himself a good old fashioned running back competition.

Rodgers went on the Pat McAfee show (of course) and essentially said he's been working on things in his personal life and focusing his energy in areas other than football. Rodgers is seemingly also down to retirement or signing with Pittsburgh. At this point, he seems far away from a decision, though the Steelers could make it easy if they take a quarterback next week. Rodgers is worth holding on to for the moment, but this is coming to an end one way or another.

It's rumor season as teams start to jockey for positioning in the upcoming NFL Draft. Still, this isn't the first report we've seen indicating Sanders is no lock to go in the top three picks. This is, however, the first we've seen that has him falling out of round one. Realistically, it seems the furthest he could possibly fall is to the end of round one as teams look to possibly move into that area to secure a fourth-year option on his contract. Regardless, Sanders is starting to look like a player who's getting more polarizing by the day.

At this point, it seems it would take what many are calling a historical trade package to move the Titans off Ward. After sneaking into the top spot the last week of the season, Tennessee tried its best to go in different direction but in the end, it seems they've been sold on Ward as their future. There's certainly nothing official here, but if they take someone else, this would be one of the greatest smokescreens in draft history.

Lacy was reportedly found dead in Houston, Texas,. The former LSU receiver was accused of causing a crash that killed a 78-year-old man and then fleeing the scene last year. The grand jury was to being hearing evidence on the case tomorrow. This is obviously a very sad ending to the story and more details are clearly going to emerge. Lacy was a bit of a sleeper going into rookie drafts but this ends as yet another tragic tale in the world of football.

The injury is reportedly significant enough to possibly require surgery and threatens his availability for the upcoming season. The Saints were supposedly looking at quarterbacks in this year's NFL Draft, but this sure did escalate quickly. With the veteran market drying up, New Orleans could be in some trouble. In regards to Carr, his dynasty value is starting to tumble as it seems he's no longer viewed as a long-term answer for the Saints and could even be damaged goods.

Lock spent time with the Seahawks backing up Geno Smith and will now return as the likely backup to Sam Darnold. Once though of as a starting-caliber quarterback in the NFL, Lock just hasn't shown enough in limited action to be counted upon as a starter. He has, however, been good enough to feel like one of the better emergency backups in the league and a decent spot starter. Lock has little dynasty value at this point and this signing won't change that.

The veteran quarterback found great success in his first stint with Cleveland, throwing for 1,616 yards, with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions in relief of Deshaun Watson back in 2023. His signing is an interesting one as the Browns currently have Kenny Pickett as their de facto starter and seem to be leaning away from the quarterback position in round one of the upcoming draft. Flacco could simply be veteran depth or have a legitimate shot at being the starter this season, This whole story will be worked out after the NFL Draft in a couple of weeks.

Jones ends his career with 914 catches, 13,703 yards, and 66 touchdowns with the Falcons, Titans, Eagles and Bucs. His 2018 season with Atlanta was his best as he crushed fantasy competition with a 113/1,677/8 campaign as the WR1. His career will ultimately be defined as great, but not quite dominant as he only scored those 66 touchdowns, despite playing in 166 career games. He also never could return to form after an injury limited him to just nine games in 2020 as well, effectively ending his time in Atlanta and turning into more of a journeyman receiver. Jones was a fantasy staple for more than a decade and after not playing last season and clearly not having any interest out there, it was time for him to call it a career. Dynasty managers moved on long ago.

And somehow this is where his career is. Once thought of as an elite-level prospect, Lance couldn't stay healthy in San Francisco or beat out Cooper Rush in Dallas, leading to very little interest this off-season. He eventually flirted with playing in Canada, but the Chargers finally found reason to bring him aboard on a relatively inexpensive (around $6 million) contract. He'll presumably need to beat out Taylor Heinicke to secure a roster spot, but the Chargers could keep him behind Justin Herbert, regardless. Still, there's really no dynasty value left here.
