The Buffalo Bills are trading WR Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick (via the Vikings).

The Texans also receive a 2025 fifth-round pick and sixth-round pick.

The Texans wide receiver room gets a huge boost, and if Tank Dell is ready for Week 1, they are in the argument for best three-deep set in the league. C.J. Stroud looks primed to build on his incredible rookie season.

As for the Bills, they have now lost Diggs and Gabe Davis this offseason but have only replaced them with Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins. They'll need to be aggressive in the NFL Draft to get Josh Allen another piece.

The Chiefs are signing backup QB Carson Wentz, most recently of the Rams.

This is just about the best landing spot you could have asked for. Wentz should be scooped off of waiver wires in deep, Superflex Dynasty leagues if he's out there.

The Dolphins and RB Raheem Mostert agreed to terms on a new, 2-year deal worth $9.075M max, source said. One of the most productive in the NFL gets rewarded at age 31.

Looks like Miami will run it back with their ultra efficient two-headed monster from 2023. Mostert makes a very good selection when fantasy teams miss out on Achane.

The Jaguars officially have signed former Packers TE Josiah Deguara.

Related Players: Evan Engram, Luke Farrell

With the Packers drafting both Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft last season, Deguara ended up becoming expendable. Deguara earned 33 targets back in 2021 but hasn't matched that usage in the two seasons since. He will provide depth behind Evan Engram.

Kick returns are back, and so is Cordarrelle Patterson: The four-time All-Pro returner and all-around weapon is signing with the Steelers on a two-year, $6M deal.

Aggressive move by Omar Khan and a reunion for Arthur Smith and Patterson, who just turned 33.

Patterson wasn't used much in the offense last season, accruing only 50 rushing attempts and 11 targets in 14 games. The signing doesn't do a whole lot for fantasy purposes, but it should be exciting to watch the all-around player exploit the new NFL kickoff rules, regardless.

Wide receiver Quez Watkins is signing with the Steelers.

Related Players: George Pickens, Van Jefferson, Dez Fitzpatrick, Calvin Austin

The Steelers receiver room suddenly looks like a bunch of WR2/3s. As it stands, Watkins figures to work mainly out of the slot with Pickens and Jefferson on the outside. With Diontae Johnson shipped to the Panthers earlier this month, the team is very likely to address the position in the NFL Draft.

“Whatever happens and whatever we do it has to go through Aidan O'Connell. Being honest with you because he's earned that right."
— Raiders coach Antonio Pierce to Steve Wyche⁩ on his QB situation and what’s next.

O'Connell, Minshew, and possibly a first-round NFL Draft selection (Michael Penix?) will make up the quarterback controversy heading into the long Summer months, and it's hard to get excited about any of them.

Speaking with NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero at the Annual League Meeting on Sunday, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni noted how excited he is about the addition.

""I'm really excited about Saquon and the things that he can do," Sirianni said. "You know he's such a dynamic football player. Both as a running back and also the things he can do as a pass catcher. He's going to bring an element to our offense and to our team. As much as we see him, all the highlights that we see on the tape -- from my understanding and all of our homework he's a good leader and teammate, as well. To be able to add that into our locker room, and not only the playmaking ability, but the person, is really important."

Barkley should fill the role(s) of not only D'Andre Swift, but also Boston Scott, as the team let both walk in free agency while signing the veteran. Barkley is more than capable at filling both spots on the lineup card, and could be eating into Gainwell's touches as well. As long as he's healthy, he's a locked-in RB1.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin reiterated that Russell Wilson “has pole position” to be the starting QB. Not against competition. And “when it’s time to compete, Justin will be given an opportunity to show his capabilities.”

He said Justin Fields “oozes talent.”

Wilson deserves to have competition after his showing in Denver, but in the early stages, it looks as if it's his job to lose. He should be considered off the radar in typical 1QB leagues, but if anything were to happen that granted Fields the job, the latter would be right back in QB1 conversations.

Former Giants WR Parris Campbell reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Related Players: DeVante Parker

Outside of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, the Eagles have mostly UDFA options to fill out their depth, so Campbell should offer a veteran presence into their rotation. He is unlikely to play a large enough role for fantasy consideration.
