Lorenzo Taliaferro arrested for public drunkenness

May 27, 2014

Lorenzo Taliaferro, who two weeks was drafted by the NFL's Baltimore Ravens, was arrested early Saturday morning and charged breaking a window in a taxi cab.

Fantasy Impact:

Taliaferro is expected to compete with Bernard Pierce for carries, especially if Ray Rice is suspended as expected. These aren't the kinds of headlines that rookies want to be making when auditioning for playing time.

RB James Cook does not report to Bills voluntary offseason program

today · 10:41 AM EDT

Buffalo Pro-Bowl running back James Cook did not report to the start of the Bills’ voluntary offseason program. Cook is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and would like a new deal.

Related Players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson, Darrynton Evans, Frank Gore Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bills are equipped to head into the season sans Cook, but no one behind him on the depth chart has the same do-it-all functionality as the RB1. We'll keep an eye on this, but it's still too early in the process to panic about Cook's availability.

Cardinals re-sign WR Greg Dortch on one-year deal

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch signed the restricted free-agent tender one-year, $3.3 million offer extended to him in March.

Related Players: Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Zay Jones

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't preclude the Cardinals from adding another WR in the Draft, but it does give them some insurance if they miss out on anyone until later on Day 3. Dortch is still looking to build on a nice 52-462-2 sophomore season he had back in 2022, but shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar.

Saints QB Derek Carr's 2025 season in jeopardy

The Saints suddenly have a major QB question: Starter Derek Carr is now dealing with a shoulder injury that threatens his availability for this season, sources say.

Carr is weighing options, including the possibility of surgery.

Related Players: Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, Ben DiNucci

Fantasy Impact:

If Carr is legitimately questionable for the 2025 season, the Saints' first and second round picks could go in far different directions than they are currently projected. As it stands before the NFL Draft, we would assume that Rattler is going to be the temporary name atop the depth chart as we wait to see how this plays out for Carr and his shoulder.
