Dynasty | The Seahawks have released tight end Noah Fant. Dynasty Analysis: The Seahawks needed to cut some payroll and Fant ends up on the wrong end of it as a result. Fant just never became a difference maker in the Emerald City, despite being one of the biggest parts of the Russell Wilson trade years ago. In the end, his three seasons in Seattle yielded a total of fewer than 1,500 yards and only five touchdowns in 48 total games. Fant looks like a bit of a roster clogger at this point, but could be back on the radar should be end up in a favorable spot over the next week or so.

Dynasty | With the release of Noah Fant, rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo moves up the depth chart in Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: Seattle must have clearly liked what they saw in Arroyo in rookie minicamp as they let Fant go unceremoniously in what ended up being a cost-saving move today. Arroyo now looks locked in as the TE1 for the Seahawks and while that hasn't resulted in a ton of fantasy production lately, he does add an athletic dynamic Seattle hasn't seen lately. With the release of Fant, expect Arroyo's rookie ADP to climb up a smidge.

Dynasty | The Bengals have signed quarterback Desmond Ridder. Dynasty Analysis: The former University of Cincinnati quarterback returns home with the hopes of carving out a role as the backup to Joe Burrow. Once thought of as the potential future in Atlanta, Ridder has shown he's a decent player, but simply not one with the potential of being a true starter in the NFL. At this point, he belongs on deep rosters in 2QB/Superflex leagues, but it's hard to justify a spot for him in a conventional dynasty league.

Dynasty | Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was not placed in the initial PUP list by New England. Dynasty Analysis: This is some welcome good news for any dynasty manager who has Diggs on their roster. After all, he endured a torn ACL last season and there was some speculation the Patriots weren't even going to guarantee him a roster spot after a video surfaced that painted him in a pretty bad light recently. Regardless, it seems Diggs may indeed be ahead of schedule in his recovery and could be ready for the start of the season. While he has a long way to go in order to reclaim his spot as a true WR1 in weekly lineups, his ADP will likely start taking a positive trajectory in the coming weeks.

Dynasty | Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue is contending the idea he is lazy. Dynasty Analysis: There was a report last week indicating the Cowboys coaches weren't thrilled with his work ethic and effort level. Blue has fired back in earnest on social media and claims it's essentially fake news. Time will tell if he can shake this label but he clearly has time to do just that. In the end, it's likely he didn't make a great first impression, but the fifth round rookie has a great path to playing time and still makes for a solid mid-to-late rookie pick in dynasty leagues based on his upside and opportunity.

Dynasty | Titans quarterback Will Levis will miss the 2025 season with a shoulder injury. Dynasty Analysis: If Cam Ward wasn't already the overwhelming favorite to start in week one, this will make that all but official. Levis is reportedlu going to undergo shoulder surgery and hope to be back for the beginning of next season, presumably as a backup to Ward or even looking for a new team. After the Titans took the plunge with Ward at the top of this year's draft, Levis' dynasty value tanked. This will make him waiver wire fodder in virtually every league.

Dynasty | Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is exploring all options while awaiting a new contract. Dynasty Analysis: While McLaurin wants to stay in Washington, he also clearly wants his money first. This could mean a number of different outcomes including a new deal, a holdout or eventually a trade to someone willing to pay him. Time is starting to run thin and McLaurin looks like a player willing to play some hardball in order to get his contract. Stay tuned.

Dynasty | The Chargers have signed running back Nyheim Hines. Dynasty Analysis: The famous victim of a watercraft accident that nearly ended his career, Hines (or Miller-Hines as he goes by now) will attempt to carve out a role for the Chargers. This move could indicate the Chargers expect Najee Harris out for a bit or could inidcate Kimani Vidal's job may not be 100% secure. Regardless, Hines is pretty far away from a roster spot in a dynasty league, but one injury could make it Miller time!

Dynasty | The Patriots have cleared Stefon Diggs to practice in full. Dynasty Analysis: While New England will certainly monitor his reps closely, Diggs looks to be on track to start in week one and that's a bit of a medical miracle considering he tore his ACL only nine months ago. It's been a tumultuous off-season for Diggs, but his ADP will start to rise with this last hurdle now conquered.

Dynasty | Saints hybrid player Taysom Hill has been placed on the PUP list. Dynasty Analysis: A late season ACL tear is likely going to wipe out Hill's season, but there's a chance he makes it back towards the end. His progress will be something to monitor as we've seen stretches where he's the ultimate difference maker in dynasty leagues. He remains worth a roster spot in deep leagues.

Dynasty | Former Texas receiver Isaiah Bond had his defamation case dismissed. Dynasty Analysis: Let's make this clear - this was a defamation case filed by Bond against his accuser of sexual assault, not that case itself. Regardless, Bond's actions outside of the field clearly red flagged him during the draft process and he remains unsigned. His case will have to be over for him to have any chance of signing with an NFL team.

Dynasty | Former Saints tight end Jimmy Graham announced is retirement after 13 seasons in the NFL. Dynasty Analysis: Once the ultimate weapon in dynasty leagues, Graham retires after posting 719 career catches for 8,545 yards and 89 touchdowns. Most will remember is initial stretch with the Saints where he posted 51 touchdowns in his first five years in the league, making him a truly elite dynasty force. Injuries took their toll on him later in his career as he bounced around from Seattle to Green Bay, to Chicago and then back to New Orleans for his swan song in 2023. "Superstar" Jimmy Graham will be remembered for a long time by dynasty leaguers.

Dynasty | Jets quarterback Justin Fields suffered a dislocated toe in practice today. Dynasty Analysis: Fields was carted off the field and things looked bleak this morning. However, there were no fractures in his foot and it turns out he's going to be considered "day=to-day" moving forward. This would have been catastrophic for the Jets as Fields is currently backed up by Tyrod Taylor and is the centerpiece of their offense. Fields should be back shortly and dynasty managers can breathe a sigh of relief. He remains an upside QB1 in dynasty leagues, but one with a lot of risk involved.

Dynasty | Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks has reportedly broken his collarbone. Dynasty Analysis: It's yet another tough break for Burks, who was trying to return to form fully after a 2024 ACL injury and a lot of disappointing moments on the field before and after. Burks is always going to be remembered as the player the Titans took with the pick they got for AJ Brown, but that's a little unfair as Tennessee was (regrettably) unwilling to pay Brown the money he really wanted. Regardless, Burks just hasn't shown enough on the field to merit much hope in dynasty leagues and this injury is honestly likely the last straw in terms of his dynasty value. In short, he's going to be out for some time and likely belongs on dynasty waiver wires.

Dynasty | Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh was carted off the field at practice with an apparent torn ACL. Dynasty Analysis: McIntosh has been a popular deep sleeper for some time now, but this is going to throw a massive bucket of cold water on that notion. He now looks to be out for the season and was already battling for a roster spot prior to that. Dynasty managers should move on to the next deep running back sleeper on their lists.

Dynasty | Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been placed on the PUP list with an ankle injury. Dynasty Analysis: You could say he was placed on the PUP list with a strained contract and would be just as accurate. McLaurin's ankle injury is nothing serious and it really does seem like it would be cured with a new deal. McLaurin has dug in and the Commanders are likely going to need to pay his asking price as they're in a window to compete that's golden with a franchise quarterback on a rookie deal. McLaurin's dynasty value is in no danger at the moment.

Dynasty | Patriots receiver Ja'Lynn Polk is reportedly no lock to make the final New England roster. Dynasty Analysis: Polk was taken in the second round last year but posted just 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns last season. If New England pulls the plug this soon, it's really bad for his dynasty prospects moving forward. Polk has already been seeing waiver wires in dynasty leagues and if he doesn't make the final 53, it will be catastrophic.

Dynasty | The Dallas Cowboys signed tight end Jake Ferguson to a contract extension. Dynasty Analysis: The extension is reportedly worth $52 million, including a $12 million signing bonus and $30 million in guaranteed money. After a 71/761/5 breakout in 2023, Ferguson regressed last season, posting just 59 catches for 494 scoreless yards. Dallas clearly believes that was an outlier and dynasty managers may just be looking at a value pick at his current ADP. Respond accordingly.

Dynasty | Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett injured his hamstring in practice. Dynasty Analysis: Oh boy. Pickett will be evaluated later in the week, but missing time could open the door for Joe Flacco or one of the Browns rookies to take the lead in the quarterback race. Pickett will need to heal quickly to stay in the race to start week one. He's a weak hold in dynasty leagues, but needs to stay on rosters until the depth chart in Cleveland shakes out.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (hamstring) remains out of training camp practice on Monday and is day-to-day with a hamstring injury, according to head coach Liam Coen. It doesn't sound like a serious injury for Tuten, but any time missed for a rookie in camp is notable. The 23-year-old fourth-round selection will most likely serve in the No. 3 role in his first NFL season behind Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne Jr., which means he'll be left to the waiver wire in standard-size formats to begin the season. The 5-foot-9, 206-pounder has blazing speed, though, so he's a big play waiting to happen when he's on the field. However, unless Bigsby or Etienne are sidelined by injury or the Jags trade Etienne, it's hard to envision Tuten being on the field for more than a handful of snaps initially in 2025.
