Saints to sign RB Cam Akers

Jun 13, 2025

The Saints are signing RB Cam Akers, per source.

Related Players: Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, Devin Neal

Fantasy Impact:

We haven't seen specifics yet, but this could be as little of a role as a camp body. This has no effect on Kamara's workload and would make him an even easier grab if his ADP somehow drops further because of this.

Texans RB Joe Mixon, in a boot throughout spring, lands on NFI

Texans placed RB Joe Mixon on the Non-Football Injury list.

Related Players: Nick Chubb, Woody Marks, Dameon Pierce

Fantasy Impact:

Maybe the Chubb signing was a little more necessary than we thought at first? Schefter followed this tweet up with the idea that he is "expected to be OK fairly soon", so we'll keep an eye on the matter. Mixon should continue to be regarded as a fantasy RB2 as it stands, with Chubb more of a contingency bet as an RB4/5.

Russell Wilson is "clear cut starter" for the Giants

Russell Wilson is the clear cut starter for the Giants.

"These guys will be out here competing but Russ is our starter," Brian Daboll said.

Related Players: Jaxson Dart

Fantasy Impact:

A competition for a prize that's already been awarded.

This clears things up from a Wilson vs. Dart perspective for Week 1, but that certainly doesn't mean that it will last the entire season. The betting market currently has the Giants at 5.5 wins, so nothing is locked in stone here, including the jobs of the coaching staff. Both quarterbacks can be avoided in most league types.

Giants WR Malik Nabers "ready to go", expected to practice fully

Brian Daboll said WR Malik Nabers is “ready to go” and expected to practice fully.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt

Fantasy Impact:

This is great news for Nabers, who has rightfully been pushed all the way into the first round of fantasy drafts. There's a not-unreasonable chance that he leads the league in target share with an incredibly thin depth chart behind him.
