The Denver Broncos are bringing back RB Melvin Gordon.

Related Player: Javonte Williams

The Williams hive is set to light the world on fire. In all fairness to Gordon, he was useful in a split with Williams but does not have the speed and upside that Williams possesses. Welcome back to RB hell, Broncos!

JJ Arcega-Whiteside is transitioning from wide receiver to tight end. JJAW has 16 catches for 290 yards and one touchdown since being drafted by the Eagles in the 2nd round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

It has been a disappointing start to Arcega-Whiteside's career and the move to tight end may help him get better matchups. His inability to separate against corners and safeties has been problematic and has caused him to fall down the Eagles' wideout depth chart.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have claimed WR Miles Boykin off waivers.

The Steelers are one of many teams looking to add to their WR room. Beyond Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool, the cupboard is barren in Pittsburgh. Boykin has no fantasy value unless the Steelers ignore wideout in the NFL Draft.

WR Olamides Zaccheus has signed his restricted free agent tender and will stay with the Atlanta Falcons.

The receiver-starving Falcons keep one of their own but will assuredly add at least another via the NFL Draft.

WR Ashton Dulin has signed his restricted free agent tender and will remain with the Colts.

Indy has a need at wideout and Dulin has been considered a sleeper candidate to be fantasy-relevant in 2022. Short of major additions to the WR room, Dulin remains a sleeper.

The Arizona Cardinals have re-signed WR A.J. Green to a one-year deal.

Green looked good in his first season in the desert but is far from a mainstay in your lineups in re-draft formats. Expect the Cardinals to add another wideout via the draft to add competition.

The Seattle Seahawks re-signed QB Geno Smith to a one-year deal.

Related Player: Drew Lock

Geno Smith? Who cares? You should. Smith got a pay raise to $7 million which is not traditional back-up QB money, especially with Drew Lock's history of mediocrity. Smith has a chance to be a bye week fill-in against the right opponent.

The Green Bay Packers are signing WR Sammy Watkins to a one-year deal.

Related Players: Amari Rodgers, Allen Lazard

Watkins continues to be an injury risk but will be playing with his second legendary quarterback in his career. If Watkins can somehow become relevant with Aaron Rodgers, he could be a steal as a late round flyer.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed TE Anthony Firkser.

Firkser was a sleeper darling in the fantasy community before producing like a fantasy football manager. Outside of a few shining moments, Firkser was fantasy irrelevant in 2021. He will fill Hayden Hurst's role as the backup tight end behind Kyle Pitts and chip in occasional catches and vulture touchdowns.

Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins was hit by a car Saturday morning and did not survive according to his agent Cedric Saunders. Haskins was 24 years old.

This is horrible news and a life taken too soon. Haskins excelled in college before having issues securing playing time in the NFL. Fortunately for Haskins, the Steelers were willing to put faith in him as he had a secured roster spot heading into mini camps. Our thoughts are with Haskins' family and friends.

The Chicago Bears are signing TE Ryan Griffin to a one-year deal.

Related Player: Cole Kmet

After once being the butt of the league with a gaggle of tight ends vying for playing time, Griffin is now in line to be Chicago's TE2 behind Cole Kmet. Griffin has been mildly successful when given a chance and could steal targets from Kmet. Both are to be drafted later or not at all depending on league size.

The New England Patriots have acquired WR DeVante Parker from the Miami Dolphins.

Parker's arrival gives the Patriots needed depth and a wideout that has been asked to be a WR1 at times in Miami.
