The Saints are signing RB Cam Akers, per source.

Related Players: Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, Devin Neal

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.

The Denver Broncos have agreed to a deal with running back J.K. Dobbins, adding another backfield option to a rotation that will be a work in progress as they move through training camp and into the regular season.

Related Players: RJ Harvey, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin

This could (hopefully) be a sign that the committee might be majorly led by Harvey/Dobbins, but we'll still see McLaughlin likely mixing in from time to time, and Estime could still handle a good amount of the goal-line work. Regardless, this is a situation to target on an offense that should continue to grow. Harvey should remain our top priority, but Dobbins is still intriguing, even if it feels doubtful that he makes it through a full healthy season.

Colts HC Shane Steichen says Anthony Richardson (shoulder) still has no timetable for return. He went out to LA to visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the doctor who performed his AC joint surgery, to have his AC joint rechecked.

Related Players: Daniel Jones, Riley Leonard

Things continue to trend in a terrible direction for Richardson. The narrative has always been that the young QB needs more reps, whether that's in practice or real games, and he's had multiple issues delivering. The starting job could very (very) well be Daniel Jones' in Week 1, and the market has moved toward him starting far more games than Richardson in 2025.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin will not be at mandatory veteran minicamp as he seeks a new contract.

Related Players: Deebo Samuel, Noah Brown, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey

It's probably not the worst idea for McLaurin to capitalize on his massive 82-1096-13 first season with quarterback Jayden Daniels. We would expect this to clear itself up before it impacts the regular season, but we'll keep an eye on it.

Sources: Browns free agent RB Nick Chubb, one of the most decorated players available, is expected to sign with the Texans on Monday if all goes well with his physical, sources say.

Chubb’s 2024 ended prematurely with an injury, but now he could return for more in Houston.

Related Players: Joe Mixon, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale, Dameon Pierce

If everything goes through without a hitch, both Ogunbowale and Pierce could be in a battle for an eventual roster spot. As Rapoport said, Chubb's season was cut short, but it wasn't a particularly prolific one when he was on the field. Chubb had the exact same YPA as D'Onta Foreman (3.3) and was easily outpaced by Ford in YPA (5.4) and yards after contact per attempt (3.5-to-2.7).

With the addition of Woody Marks in the fourth round, we'd take a wait-and-see approach before we skyrocket Chubb all the way up the rankings.

Renegade A-Rod: Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers informed the #Steelers he’ll fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and sign before next week’s minicamp, sources tell The Insiders.

Finally, a done deal: Rodgers, 41, will play his 21st NFL season in black and gold.

Pelissero followed up with,

"Contract parameters have been in place for months; Rodgers has said publicly he told teams that he’ll play for $20 million, and the sides need to finalize the contract. Once he signs, he’s expected to be on the field when minicamp begins Tuesday."

This gives the Steelers pass-catchers a solid QB option, but the DK Metcalf/Rodgers pairing is incredibly interesting. We'll keep you updated on what former Packers players end up signing in Pittsburgh this summer.

Per Shane Steichen - QB Anthony Richardson is dealing with a shoulder injury and will not participate in mini-camp next week.

Related Players: Daniel Jones

This is the same AC joint Richardson injured last year, so this is certainly something to keep an eye on. Daniel Jones could very well receive quite a bit of playing time in the 2025 season.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
