DeVante Parker retires

DeVante Parker WR
By: May 21: 9:17 AM EST

Now former Eagles wide receiver DeVante Parker is retiring.

Dynasty Analysis

Still just 31 years old, Parker has clearly had a change of heart after recently signing a free agent contract with the Eagles. Always long on talent but short on production, Parker's career just never did materialize. He ends with 402 catches, 5,660 yards and 27 touchdowns. However, he posted a ton of that in what turned out to be a fluky 2019 season with the Dolphins where he posted a 72/1,202/9 line which represented career highs in every category. After the short two-year stint with New England, it seems Parker is just ready to move on. Dynasty managers will be happy to do the same as Parker has clogged some rosters in recent years.

Rashee Rice to attend OTAs

Rashee Rice WR KC
By: May 20: 12:05 PM EST

Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will attend OTAs this week.

Dynasty Analysis

It's never a good thing when we have a multitude of player updates for you in the off-season and virtually none of them revolve around football. Such has been the case with Rice, however, as he is currently facing what looks to be a potentially long suspension after a racing incident and most recently, a potential assault. Attending camp is good but he's nearly impossible to move in a dynasty league with a black cloud currently over his head. Rice will remain a hold as this whole thing unfolds over the next few weeks and months.

Najee Harris on a diet

Najee Harris RB PIT
By: May 20: 11:43 AM EST

Steelers running back Najee Harris has apparently changed his diet in order to improve his performance.

Dynasty Analysis

Well, it can't hurt. Harris is now in a contract year after having his option declined and appears motivated to perform at a higher level as he seeks a lucrative second contract in the league in Pittsburgh or elsewhere. Harris was much better towards the end of last season but Jaylen Warren continues to push for carries and it's hard to believe this won't end up in a timeshare. Harris is best served as a RB2/Flex at the moment but he does have a runway to move up in the rankings should he finally reach his potential.

David Johnson retires

David Johnson RB
By: May 20: 11:31 AM EST

Free agent running back David Johnson is retiring from the NFL.

Dynasty Analysis

Johnson had a monster 2016 season that featured more than 2,000 yards from scrimmage and a whopping 20 touchdowns for the Cardinals but was never able to replicate that kind of production again. He spent some time with the Texans and Saints over the past few years but in the end, lasted just eight seasons in the league. Such is life in the NFL. If you still had Johnson on your roster, chances are you didn't win your league last season.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling signs with Buffalo

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR BUF
By: May 14: 10:35 AM EST

The Bills have signed free agent wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Dynasty Analysis

The Bills look like they're going to attack the post-Stefon Diggs era with a "WR by committee" approach that could feature the likes of Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, Chase Claypool and now MVS. While Coleman remains the only blue chip player on that list, someone else is likely to emerge. Valdes-Scantling is likely no more than a roster clogger-level player moving forward but this development is enough to keep him on the dynasty radar.

Jared Goff signs an extension

Jared Goff QB DET
By: May 14: 10:27 AM EST

Jared Goff and the Lions have agreed on a four-year contract extension.

Dynasty Analysis

A relative afterthought in the Matthew Stafford trade from years ago, Goff has had a career resurgence with the Lions. He'll get $170 million guaranteed and makes him the highest paid player in franchise history. Goff is coming off a season with more than 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns, making him a reliable low-end QB1. While he offers little as a runner, Goff is about as stable as they come and makes for a solid veteran add for a dynasty team as a low-end starter or very solid QB2.

Zay Jones signs with Arizona

Zay Jones WR ARI
By: May 11: 3:20 PM EST

The Cardinals have signed wide receiver Zay Jones.

Dynasty Analysis

Jones has had some nice moments over his seven seasons in Buffalo, Las Vegas, and Jacksonville, though he's never posted more than 823 receiving yards or seven touchdowns in any given season. Jones could be viable opposite Marvin Harrison, Jr. if he can beat out Michael Wilson but that's no given. At this point, Jones looks like a roster worthy player but a potential roster clogger at the same time.

Allen Robinson signs with the Giants

Allen Robinson WR NYG
By: May 11: 3:16 PM EST

The Giants have signed wide receiver Allen Robinson.

Dynasty Analysis

Robinson had a 102/1,250/6 season for the Bears in 2020 but has fallen off the face of the earth since with just over 1,000 receiving yards and a total of four touchdowns in the three years since, including stops with Chicago, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. Robinson is a fringe roster candidate at best at this point and while he has a chance to re-emerge in New York, don't hold your breath.

Martavis Bryant released

Martavis Bryant WR
By: May 11: 2:32 PM EST

The Cowboys have released wide receiver Martavis Bryant.

Dynasty Analysis

Marty B will likely attempt to resume his comeback with another team as Dallas just couldn't hold on to him. Bryant was once a highly regarded dynasty asset but suspensions derailed his career before it could really even get going. Bryant will look to latch on elsewhere but it's hard to see him being a worthwhile dynasty pickup until he makes a final roster.

Rashee Rice under investigation

Rashee Rice WR KC
By: May 11: 2:22 PM EST

Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is under investigation in relation to a night club assault,.

Dynasty Analysis

An adventurous off-season continues for Rice, who already has a massive legal problem in relation to a street racing incident. This new investigation is looking like it's going to take some time to unravel but it's clear a suspension (and possibly a lengthy one) is coming sooner rather than later. Rice is a hold for now as his value is clearly in flux.
