Dynasty Fantasy Football Player News

Shedeur Sanders QB CLE
By: Jun 18: 9:24 PM EST

Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was cited for speeding over the past few days.

Dynasty Analysis

Specifically, Sanders was clocked going 101 miles an hour. While by no means is this a story that's going to be in the news for long, It also could indicate some immaturity, The bigger problem for Sanders is the fact he's been a distant fourth in reps in minicamp. At this point, he's no lock to make the final roster as the Browns have very little invested in him. Sanders is destined to continue being overdrafted this off-season in rookie drafts.

JK Dobbins RB DEN
By: Jun 10: 4:49 PM EST

The Broncos have signed running back JK Dobbins.

Dynasty Analysis

Dobbins gets a one-year deal worth $2.75 million that could go up to $5 million if he hits his incentives. The move is a significant one as his presence now shakes up a running back room that currently features RJ Harvey, Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin. Harvey still looks the starter, but Dobbins has real talent and will be tough to keep on the sidelines when he's healthy, though that's always been his biggest challenge. A move that may be better in reality than fantasy, this still keeps Dobbins squarely on the dynasty radar as a high risk, high ceiling player.

Nick Chubb RB HOU
By: Jun 10: 12:44 AM EST

The Houston Texans have signed running back Nick Chubb.

Dynasty Analysis

The deal could pay Chubb up to $5 million should he reach his incentives. It certainly makes sense given his recent injury history. There have been lots of Chubb workout videos floating around featuring his patented squats and he passed his physical, which are both positive. Still, Chubb didn't look anywhere close his dominant self last season after coming back from a devastating knee injury and played only eight games before breaking his foot. He could form a committee with Joe Mixon and at least gives Houston some solid insurance moving forward.

Aaron Rodgers QB PIT
By: Jun 5: 4:07 PM EST

Aaron Rodgers has told the Pittsburgh Steelers he intends to sign with them and play next season.

Dynasty Analysis

Rodgers finally makes up his mind to play and not retire and chooses the only team left without a real answer at quarterback. Once one of the most feared players in the game, Rodgers looked like a shell of himself most of last season with the Jets. Still, he's a Hall of Fame caliber player who should be an upgrade over Mason Rudolph. He'll lead a run-first offense in Pittsburgh, but should be good enough to at least be a QB2 in a dynasty league next season.

Stefon Diggs WR NE
By: Jun 3: 9:25 PM EST

The Patriots are currently not considering the release of wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

Dynasty Analysis

Diggs is in some hot water after a video surfaced of him this week on a boat holding a suspicious pink substance. He has since reported to OTAs and is clearly trying to put that incident behind him. He is still recovering from a torn ACL last season and isn't guaranteed much this year after finding a pretty lukewarm market. At this point, it looks like New England is going to look the other way, but it's hard to see them being patient should Diggs do anything else that seems unsavory. His dynasty value is starting to really suffer and at this point, he simply looks like a lottery ticket moving forward in dynasty leagues.

Kyle Pitts TE ATL
By: Jun 3: 9:17 PM EST

Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has been battling a foot injury in OTAs.

Dynasty Analysis

Pitts has been rumored to be available via trade. At the same time, the coaching staff has been quoted as wanting to get him more involved. Who knows where the truth lies here, but it does seem clear he's dealing with a foot injury that's limited him so far this off-season. This doesn't seem to be something to be concerned with long-term, but Pitts is entering a season where his future is clearly in flux. After a dominant rookie season, he's been an average player at best in both fantasy and reality. Dynasty managers need to hold on at this point, but the shine is certainly starting to dim on his ultimate dynasty value.

Sam Darnold QB SEA
By: Jun 3: 9:11 PM EST

The Seahawks are making it clear Sam Darnold is the unquestioned starter next season.

Dynasty Analysis

It's easy to say this in June before anyone has seen much from Jalen Milroe. Still, the idea of Milroe doing enough to actually supplant Darnold as the starter this season has always seemed pretty far-fetched. Seattle is making sure the general public knows Milroe is nothing more than a lottery ticket and Darnold should be set up for success. Still, Milroe makes for a decent stash as any long stretch of ineptness could open the door. In the end, this is much ado about nothing.

Jonnu Smith TE MIA
By: May 29: 7:46 PM EST

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in trade discussions for Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith.

Dynasty Analysis

There's nothing imminent here, but Smith is entering the final year of a two-year, $8.4 million contract he signed with the Dolphins in 2024 and has asked for a raise. Miami may be balking at that idea and warming up to the idea of getting compensation back for him instead. After sending away George Pickens, Pittsburgh is in need of playmakers and Smith would help. His 88/884/8 season was by far his best every, so you can see the allure here. Stay tuned.

Stefon Diggs WR NE
By: May 28: 1:35 PM EST

Film has emerged of Stefon Diggs partying on a boat with a pink powdery substance.

Dynasty Analysis

This could be nothing. It could be something. Regardless. the Patriots are having to answer questions about Diggs' decision making and it's clearly been a distraction for them today. It's unlikely this turns into much in terms of discipline, but it's not the best start for a player on a new team for the second straight season and one also coming off injury. Diggs' dynasty value continues to sink.

James Cook RB BUF
By: May 27: 11:43 AM EST

Bills running back James Cook isn't attending Bills optional team activities.

Dynasty Analysis

Cook is angling for a new deal and has little interest in doing anything at the moment. He's scheduled to make a little more than $5 million next season but reportedly wants closer to $15 million for his services. This isn't a huge deal at the moment, but it would be if he chooses to hold out into training camp. Cook is a borderline RB1, but has had his ups and downs thus far in his career. Stay tuned.
