"No concerns" over Texans QB C.J. Stroud not throwing during OTAs

Jun 03, 2025

Texans QB C.J. Stroud continues to not throw at OTAs due to shoulder soreness. “There's no concerns with C.J.,” said Texans HC DeMeco Ryans. “It's just general soreness. We're taking extra precaution with him, but he’ll be good to go. No concerns on my end there.”

Related Players: Davis Mills, Graham Mertz

Fantasy Impact:

It's still early in the year for this to impact Stroud's fantasy outlook one way or the other. In very, very deep SuperFlex Dynasty leagues, we could proactively scoop Mills off the waiver wire if he's available.

While there has been speculation about his future in Atlanta, Falcons TE Kyle Pitts hasn’t been practicing at OTAs due to a strained muscle in his foot.

Related Players: Charlie Woerner, Teagan Quitoriano, Feleipe Franks

Fantasy Impact:

If Pitts does end up leaving Atlanta this summer, it's worth pointing out that the TE depth chart behind him is incredibly thin, which would likely mean an even higher WR target share in 2025. Teams potentially vying for a trade include the Cowboys, Jaguars, and Chargers, among others.

The first practice of Falcons OTAs is now underway and Kirk Cousins is not on the field. Cousins has made clear he wants to play elsewhere in 2025.

Related Players: Michael Penix Jr., Easton Stick

Fantasy Impact:

We've been anticipating a potential trade (Steelers?) for a few months now, but it's been pretty quiet on that front since the NFL Draft. If Cousins finds a Week 1 starting role somewhere, he will return to low-end QB2 range for SuperFlex leagues.

49ers and QB Brock Purdy agree to $265M, five-year extension

The 49ers and QB Brock Purdy agreed to terms on a five-year, $265 million contract extension.

Purdy gets $181M in total guarantees, including $165.05M in the first three new years of a deal that runs through 2030.

Related Players: Mac Jones

Fantasy Impact:

George Kittle, and now, Purdy have received huge extensions this offseason, locking in two ultra-important pieces of their offense. Purdy should continue to be considered a fringe QB1/2 for fantasy purposes.
