Buccaneers to go with Teddy Bridgewater as QB2

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane will be ready for Week 1 vs the Colts, per GM Chris Grier

Related Players: Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon

Looks like the jury's still out on whether Wright will be set for W1, but this is great news for Achane drafters, particularly for his year-long availability. If he stays healthy for the entire year, he has legit overall RB1 upside.

Homecoming: Panthers and Vikings are finalizing a trade for WR Adam Thielen to return to Minnesota, sources tell ESPN.

The trade: Vikings get Thielen, a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.

Panthers get a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick.

Thielen starred for the Vikings from 2013-2022. Now he returns.

This is a good move to ease J.J. McCarthy into the league with Jordan Addison suspended for the first three games. Thielen is heading into his age-35 (!!) season and doesn't offer nearly the run-after-catch ability as he did in his heyday, but he can operate as a consistent option for the young QB. He's unlikely to hit double-digit targets as he did a couple times last year with JJ and T.J. Hockenson around, but he could be playable for desperate deep-league managers.

Back in Carolina, this helps clear the runway for Jalen Coker to operate as the Panthers' primary slot option after a pretty impressive rookie season for a UDFA. He's an interesting stash.

The Jags acquired Tim Patrick in a trade with the Detroit Lions, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday morning, per a source informed of the deal.

The 31-year-old receiver, who missed all of 2022 and 2023 due to ACL and Achilles' injuries, respectively, played 16 games in Detroit last season, corralling 33 passes for 394 yards and three touchdowns.

This likely impacts TeSlaa more than anyone else, who has shot up the depth chart since being selected in the third round of this year's Draft. He's probably not going to make much of a fantasy impact as a week-to-week starter, but he has been an interesting last-round dart throw in best ball stacks.
