Michael Thomas expected to practice Wednesday

Jan 06, 2021

#Saints WR Michael Thomas is expected to practice today on a limited basis and will ramp up during the week, source said. Thomas went on IR to allow his high-ankle injury to heal, and the progress has been good. Looking solid vs. #Bears.

Fantasy Impact:

It's looking good for Michael Thomas to return for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, after dealing with an ankle injury that kept him sidelined for the final three weeks of the regular season.

Patriots sign WR Stefon Diggs to three-year deal

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs reached agreement on a three-year, $69 million deal including $26 million guaranteed with the New England Patriots.

Related Players: Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker

Fantasy Impact:

This is an incredible injection of talent to what is arguably the worst WR room in the NFL. Diggs should be immediately considered somewhere in the WR3 range, with (hopefully) more weapons for Drake Maye coming in the next month.

Giants to sign QB Russell Wilson to one-year deal

yesterday · 6:56 PM EDT

The Giants and Super Bowl-winning QB Russell Wilson reached agreement today on a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed.
The 10-time Pro-Bowl selection had been in discussions with the Giants, Browns, and Steelers, but is opting for New York, where Wilson won Super Bowl XLVIII in MetLife Stadium. Now, Wilson is returning there as the Giants’ projected starting QB.

Related Players: Jameis Winston, Tommy DeVito

Fantasy Impact:

We would have loved to see Winston airing it out to Malik Nabers, but the Giants have made a stand to bring Wilson on board. We'll have to see if they still make a move for a first-round option during the NFL Draft, but as it stands, no Giants QB is worth redraft consideration.

Giants sign QB Jameis Winston

Mar 21 · 7:58 PM EDT

Veteran QB Jameis Winston is signing with the Giants, per source.

The team remains open to adding another QB through free agency or the draft, and Winston’s deal — two years, $8 million — doesn’t preclude them from making additional QB moves.

Related Players: Tommy DeVito

Fantasy Impact:

As the report says, this doesn't mean they'll be ignoring the QB position at the top of the NFL Draft, but it gives them a little more insurance at the position, and, hey, it brings some more excitement, too. Winston would be a much larger net positive to the receiving group over DeVito, if they need either to make some 2025 starts.
