Related players: Brandin Cooks, Chris Hogan, Danny Amendola, Phillip Dorsett

Fantasy Impact:

It's not clear at this point if Mitchell will have a chance to return this season, but this is clearly an upgrade for the other receivers in New England and might explain why the Patriots traded for Phillip Dorsett. Chris Hogan, Danny Amendola and Dorsett get a bump.

The Green Bay Packers have waived backup QB Kurt Benkert.

Related Player: Jordan Love

Fantasy Impact:

Benkert was utilized as the backup in 2021 over Jordan Love, so the decision to let Benkert find a new home is a boon for Love. Any improvement from Love is great for the Packers in the event Aaron Rodgers misses time.

The New England Patriots have signed WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Fantasy Impact:

LJH is a big target that will get a chance to try and carve out a role for a receiver room devoid of consistency. Humphrey is just a guy unless cuts/injuries attack the Pats' wideouts.

Related Players: Mike Davis, Justice Hill, Tyler Badie

Fantasy Impact:

The Ravens have run with a loaded backfield for a while and the statuses of Dobbins and Edwards are leans to why Mike Davis was added to the RB room. Rookie Tyler Badie is also going to be in the mix early on as a Ravens draftee. Justice Hill will be a member of the Ravens forever at this point.
