In 2010, Johnny Knox had more catches (51), receiving yards (960), receiving touchdowns (five) and even offensive snaps (864) than any other receiver. Hester, meanwhile, had 40 catches for 475 yards and four touchdowns.

But receivers coach Darryl Drake said the film showed that Hester consistently did what was asked of him.

Coach Lovie Smith said, “He’ll be a huge part of the offense.”

Fantasy Impact:

Before this news, we had Knox and Roy Williams rated 29th and 30th. But Hester could now break on to our list as well. We'll have to see how this situation works out, as it seems strange Knox would just not be a part of this offense after putting up the numbers he did last year.

Dolphins sign WR Odell Beckham to one-year deal

Marcel Louis-Jacques

yesterday · 1:28 PM EDT

The Dolphins have agreed to terms with WR Odell Beckham, Jr.

It's a 1-year, $3M deal with incentives that can push it up to $8.25M

Related Players: Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, River Cracraft, Braxton Berrios

Fantasy Impact:

Beckham should work as a rotational third wide receiver behind Hill and Waddle and figures to have some high-output weeks from time to time. He figures to be a headache in typical redraft leagues but will be an interesting addition in best ball leagues.

Chargers to sign WR D.J. Chark to one-year deal

Former Panthers WR and current FA DJ.. Chark has agreed to terms with the #Chargers on a 1-year deal worth up to $5M. A new landing spot for Chark, who visited with LAC before the Draft.

Related Players: Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey

Fantasy Impact:

Chark, like most of the Panthers' pass-catchers, had a mediocre single season in Carolina, hauling in only 56.5% of his targets. It's been a long road since his 1,000+ yard season in 2019, but at the very least, he will offer Justin Herbert a little more firepower. He makes for a good dart throw in fantasy, as he could end up usurping Johnston and/or Palmer for snaps.

Rams to sign RB Boston Scott to a one-year deal

Former Eagles running back Boston Scott reached an agreement on a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams.

The Rams backfield now boasts Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, and Scott, amongst others.

Related Players: Ronnie Rivers, Zach Evans

Fantasy Impact:

The backfield is a little loaded in Los Angeles at this point in the offseason, but we can expect at least one cut from this group over the summer. Scott was once perceived as a receiving threat but accrued only six targets over ten games last season with the Eagles. He has no standalone value in fantasy.
