Jacobs tops 300 total yards


This week saw the return of all NFL teams playing once again. This was good news for fantasy owners, having a full compliment of players to choose from for their lineups. And the scoring was back this week compared to the previous. Sure, there were a few duds, but we also had a few really big performances. There was even a player that had more than 300 total yards. Here is to hoping your team had some of those big performances on your roster and you came out victorious in Week 12. 

Bills 28, Lions 25

Fantasy Stud: Josh Allen. Allen had another one of his huge games, scoring three touchdowns. He led the Bills in passing and rushing. He was 24-of-42 for 253 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. He also ran 10 times for 78 yards and another score. Allen topped 30 fantasy points in the game, the first time he has reached that mark since Week 6. It was good to se him get back to his huge ways despite dealing with an elbow injury. 

Fantasy Dud: Gabe Davis. Davis was not much of a factor in this one, catching four passes for 38 yards. He was actually third on receiving yards for the Bills. Davis had double-digit fantasy points two straight games before this one. He has been a little up and down throughout the season, so this showing wasn’t out of the ordinary. You just expected a better showing in a very favorable matchup. 

Game Notes: Isaiah McKenzie had his best game of the season. He caught six passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. He had a season-high 10 targets. 

Jamaal Williams found the end zone once again, scoring his 13th touchdown of the season. He ran 18 times for 66 yards and a score. 

Cowboys 28, Giants 20

Fantasy Stud: Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott didn’t lead the Cowboys in rush attempts but led them in rush yards. He had 16 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown. He also had a catch for three yards. Elliott has at least 15 fantasy points four straight games. He might not be the same fantasy player as past year, but is still very productive for his fantasy owners. He gets his weekly points. 

Fantasy Dud: Tony Pollard. Pollard had his first down showing in a few weeks. He was’t terrible but not a help to fantasy owners. He had 18 carries for 60 yards and caught just two passes for a yard. It broke a streak of 100-plus total yards four straight games. He had at least 21 fantasy points three straight. Pollard still got a ton of touches, which is encouraging for Pollard owners. He had 20 touches in the game. 

Game Notes: CeeDee Lamb hit the 100-yard mark for the second time in three games. He had six receptions for 106 yards on 11 targets. He has double-digit targets two of three games.

Saquon Barkley had a nice rebound game for his fantasy owners, scoring 15.2 fantasy points. He ran 11 times for 39 yards and a touchdown. He also had four catches for 13 yards. 

Vikings 33, Patriots 26

Fantasy Stud: Justin Jefferson. Jefferson rebounded very well from one of his worst games of the season, producing huge once again. He had nine receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown. He scored 29.5 fantasy points, giving him 25-plus points three of four games. Jefferson is just 11 games into his season, but his numbers are better than a full season for a lot of players. He is already over 80 catches and 1,200 yards. Jefferson is going to finish with monster numbers by season’s end. 

Fantasy Dud: Dalvin Cook. There was a ton of offense in this game, but Cook was one of the few that didn’t get involved in the fun. He got the work but didn’t produce. He rushed 22 times for just 42 yards and had four catches for 14 yards. Cook failed to hit double-digit fantasy points for the second straight game. He had a streak of seven straight games with double-digit fantasy points before these last two. 

Game Notes: Mac Jones had a great game in defeat. He was 28-of-39 for 382 yard and two touchdowns without a turnover. It was his second 300-yard game of the season. 

Adam Thielen had a season-high nine receptions. He also scored his third touchdown of the season. He finished with nine receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown. 

Commanders 19, Falcons 13

Fantasy Stud: Brian Robinson. Robinson had a great showing in this one, hitting the 100-yard rushing mark for the first time all season. He had 18 carries for 105 yards and caught two passes for 20 yards and a touchdown. So he finished with 125 total yards and a score. It was the first time all season Robinson topped 20 fantasy points in a game. 

Fantasy Dud: Drake London. Some thought London might get a little more play this week with Kyle Pitts out for the season. Well, that didn’t happen for London, who had just two catches for 29 yards. London has been a huge bus since Wee 3, having fewer than double-digit fantasy points eight of his last nine games. He is not usable for fantasy teams right now. 

Game Notes: Both Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson had the exact same amount of carries. Allgeier ran 11 times for 54 yards while Patterson had 11 carries for 52 yards. 

Olamide Zaccheaus led the way at receiver for the Falcons. He had five receptions for 91 yards. This was his highest yardage total of the season and just the third time he had more than 50 yards. 

Jets 31, Bears 10

Fantasy Stud: Mike White. White had a huge game in his first start this season. He was 22-of-28 for 315 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. It was quite the performance from White, who is going to keep starting going forward for the Jets. He might be worth a look for fantasy teams in an offense with some decent weapons. 

Fantasy Dud: Michael Carter. Carter left the game early with an ankle injury but was not much of a factor when on the field. His injury just added insult to injury. He had six carries for just 21 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards. This was a positive matchup for Carter, but he was unable to take advantage. 

Game Notes: Darnell Mooney left the game early with an ankle injury and was unable to return. He did not catch a pass before leaving. 

Trevor Siemian got the start for the Bears but almost didn’t after hurting his oblique in pregame. He was able to start, though, and was 14-of-25 for 179 yard and a touchdown with an interception.

Bengals 20, Titans 16

Fantasy Stud: Tee Higgins. Higgins continues to play at an elite level for his fantasy owners. He had seven receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown. Higgins has two straight games with 23-plus fantasy points and has hit the 100-yard mark each of those games. He is a must start for fantasy owners, failing to hit double-digit fantasy points just once all year. 

Fantasy Dud: Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill had played at a high level since returning from injury, but wasn’t a help to fantasy teams this week. He didn’t play bad but was held out of the end zone, being little help to fantasy owners. He was 22-of-34 for 291 yards without a score or an interception. Tannehill scored just 15.5 fantasy points after having back-to-back games with 20-plus fantasy points. 

Game Notes: Derrick Henry was held in check on the ground but made plays in the passion game, helping his fantasy numbers. He ran 17 times for just 38 yards, but had three catches for 79 yards and a touchdown. He had 117 total yards and a score. 

Samaje Perine played well in a starting role for the Bengals. He ran 17 times for 58 yards and a touchdown. He also had four catches for 35 yards, giving him 93 total yards. 

Dolphins 30, Texans 15

Fantasy Stud: Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa could have been a lot better if not for sitting out much of the second half with the Dolphins up big. He still played well when on the field, going 22-of-36 for 299 yards and a touchdown without a turnover. Tagovailoa now has 19 touchdowns to just three interceptions this season. 

Fantasy Dud: Dameon Pierce. Pierce continued his late-season swoon. He had another poor game, rushing five times for just eight yards. And he didn’t do much better though the air, having three catches for eight yards. He is a really hard player for fantasy teams to trust right now, having fear than five fantasy points each of his last two games. 

Game Notes: Jeff Wilson found the end ozone for the third straight game. He had 13 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown. He also had a catch for 13 yards. 

Kyle Allen had mixed reviews in his first start for the Texans this year. He was 26-of-39 for 215 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions. He should get another start but will need to play better if he hopes to keep starting. 

Panthers 23, Broncos 10

Fantasy Stud: D.J. Moore. Moore finally got it going a little, hitting the 100-yard mark for the second time this season. He had four receptions fro 103 yards and a touchdown. Maybe the return of Sam Darnold at quarterback will be a positive for Moore going forward. He has been really inconsistent this year.  

Fantasy Dud: Greg Dulcich. Dulcich had a really quiet game, catching just two passes for 11 yards. The rookie has plenty of promise and played well this year, but could be up and down in a passing game that is struggling. 

Game Notes: Latavius Murray had a strong game, rushing 13 times for 92 yards. He also had a catch for six yards. Murray has a pretty firm grip on the starter’s job right now in Denver. 

Sam Darnold led his team to a win and played pretty well, so he should get another start next week for the Panthers. He was 11-of-19 for 164 yards and a touchdown. 

Browns 23, Bucs 17

Fantasy Stud: Chris Godwin. Godwin seems over his torn ACL from last year and his playing his best football right now. He had 12 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. Godwin has 19-plus fantasy points each of his last two games. He has been targets double-digit times five of six games. He is peaking at the right time for fantasy owners. 

Fantasy Dud: Mike Evans. Evans did not get much work in this one with Godwin dominating the targets. Evans had just two catches for 31 yards. Evans has been a little quieter of late, having fewer than double-digit fantasy points two of three games.

Game Notes: Nick Chubb hit the 100-yard mark for the sixth time this season. He had 26 carries for 116 yards and a touchdown. He topped 20 fantasy points for the fifth time. 

Amari Cooper is trending up, catching seven passes for 94 yards. He has 15 catches his last two games. He also has 100-yard game two of four. 

Jaguars 28, Ravens 27

Fantasy Stud: Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence had maybe his best game as a pro, leading his team to a comeback victory. He was 29-of-37 for 321 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. He scored a season high 29.2 fantasy points. Lawrence has three straight games topping 20 fantasy points. He seems to be gaining confidence every week and is playing the best football of his career right now. 

Fantasy Dud: Mark Andrews. There were a lot of fantasy points in this game, but Mark Andrews wasn’t much of a factor, which was surprising. He even dropped a possible touchdown reception that he normally makes all day. Andrew has been pretty mediocre of late, having fewer than 13 fantasy points four straight games. 

Game Notes: Travis Etienne suffered a foot injury early in the game and was unable to return. This is a huge injury to watch going forward. He has been huge this year. 

Zay Jones was the top target for the Jaguars. He had a monster game, finishing with 11 receptions for 145 yards. This was his second game with double-digit receptions. 

Chargers 25, Cardinals 24

Fantasy Stud: Justin Herbert. Herbert had another big game, finishing 35-of-47 for 274 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. He also converted a two-point try to win the game. Herbert finished with 31.5 fantasy points. He has 23-plus points two of three and three of five games. He is another player heating at the right time for fantasy owners. 

Fantasy Dud: Trey McBride. McBride was one of the few fantasy disappointments in this one. He caught just a pass for a yard. He might be the best fantasy tight end on the Cardinals roster right now, but that doesn’t mean he belongs in fantasy lineups. McBride is yet to top six fantasy points in any game this year.  

Game Notes: Marquise Brown returned this week and got plenty of work, catching six passes for 46 yards. He should continue to get more and more work going forward as he gets back up to speed. 

Kyler Murray looked just fine in his first game back from a hamstring injury. He was 18-of-29 for 191 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. He also ran seven times for 56 yards. 

Chiefs 26, Rams 10

Fantasy Stud: Travis Kelce. There were not a lot of big fantasy performances in this one. Kelce was one of the good ones, though. He had four receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown. Kelce topped 15 fantasy points for the ninth straight game. He has fewer than 15 fantasy points just once all year. He just keeps posting big numbers on a weekly basis for fantasy owners. 

Fantasy Dud: JuJu Smith-Schuster. Smith-Schuster returned from his concussion and played, but wasn’t a huge factor. He had three receptions for 38 yards. Smith-Schuster had been red hot before suffering his concussion in Week 10. Hopefully, he can get back to his big ways sooner than later. 

Game Notes: Bryce Perkins started for the Rams but had his issues, which was expected in his first NFL start. He was 13-of-23 for 100 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions. His biggest contribution was on the ground, running nine times for 44 yards. 

Cam Akers and Kyren Williams pretty much split the work at running back for the Rams. Akers ran eight times for 37 yards while Williams rushed 11 times for 35 yards. Williams was a bigger factor in the passing game, catching three passes for 25 yards. 

49ers 13, Saints 0

Fantasy Stud: Jauan Jennings. Jennings was a big surprise, scoring the 49ers only touchdown. His reception total was a season high and this was his first score of the season. He had six catches for 49 yards and a score on seven targets. He will be a tough fantasy player to trust on a weekly basis, but showed he does have the potential for the big game at times. 

Fantasy Dud: Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey had a rare down showing for his standards. He got the touches but did little with them. He ran 11 times for 32 yards and had four receptions for 17 yards. McCaffrey failed to hit double-digit fantasy points for just the second time all season. The good news is he still had 15 touches in the game, so it wasn’t for a lack of work.

Game Notes: Brandon Aiyuk had five receptions for 65 yards on eight targets. He has at least five receptions five of six games. He has been rock solid as the No. 1 target in the 49ers passing game. 

Andy Dalton seems to be holding onto the starter’s job by a thread right now. He failed to lead the offense to a score in this game, going 18-of-29 for 204 yards. 

Raiders 40, Seahawks 34

Fantasy Stud: Josh Jacobs. Jacobs carried fantasy teams to victory with his monster performance in Week 12. Jacobs ran 33 times for 229 yards and two touchdowns, including an 86-yard run in overtime to win the game. And Jacobs added six catches for 74 yards, giving him 303 total yards of offense. Jacobs scored 48.3 fantasy points. He has two straight 100-yard rushing games and five on the season. He is already over 1,000-rushing yards after just 11 games. 

Fantasy Dud: Noah Fant. There were big fantasy games all over in this one, so not much bad to report for fantasy teams. Fant might have been one of the few disappointments, finishing with three catches for 34 yards. He failed to hit double-digit fantasy points for the second straight week. He has failed to build off his 96-yard performance in Week 9, making him a very hard player for fantasy teams to play. 

Game Notes: Derek Carr has four straight games with 20-plus fantasy points. He was 25-of-36 for 295 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions. 

DK Metcalf had double-digit receptions for the first time this season. He had 11 catches for 90 yards on 15 targets. He has at least 13 fantasy points four straight games. 

Eagles 40, Packers 33

Fantasy Stud: Miles Sanders. Sanders had his best game of the season. He had a huge game on the ground, rushing 21 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns. He also had three catches for 17 yards. Sanders scored 31 fantasy points, which was a season high. It was the second time he topped 20 fantasy points in a game. Sanders has been a little up and down this year but having his best season to date as a pro. He already has 900-rushing yards and eight touchdowns. 

Fantasy Dud: Allen Lazard. Lazard had just two catches for 24 yards on three targets. It was a really down game for a player that thad double-digit targets two of his previous three games. Lazard has been pretty consistent all season, so this one was an outlier as much as anything. Don’t get too down on him, but the emergence of Christian Watson does damper his upside a little. 

Game Notes: Aaron Rodgers was unable to finish the game because of a rib injury. He wasn’t very good before leaving, going 11-of-16 for 140 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions. Jordan Love was impressive in relief, finishing 6-of-9 for 113 yards and a touchdown. 

Christian Watson continued his emergence. He topped 20 fantasy points for the third straight game. Watson had four receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown on six targets.

2024 NFL Draft Recap

Player Notes
Raheem Blackshear May 6 10:13pm ET
Raheem Blackshear

Dynasty | The Carolina Panthers are signing running back Rashaad Penny. Dynasty Analysis: Penny is going to compete with rookie Jonathon Brooks, Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and Raheem Blackshear for a roster spot this Summer as nothing here should be looked at as guaranteed. Penny has had his moments in the league, including a stretch in Seattle where he was the best fantasy football player in the world for about a month. Unfortunately, injuries have always held him back and he wasn't really even able to sniff the field last year in Philadelphia. Penny's value has dropped all the way down to "watch list," but he'd certainly be roster worthy should he make the team this Fall.

Davante Adams

Dynasty | The Las Vegas Raiders have signed veteran wide receiver Jalen Guyton. Dynasty Analysis: The long-time Charger has had his moments over his five-year career but never really put things together consistently in Los Angeles. He'll compete with the likes of Tre Tucker and DJ Turner for a roster spot but he looks buried behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and the newly signed Michael Gallup. As the Stormtroopers would say, "Move along."

Nathan Rourke May 6 9:20pm ET
Nathan Rourke

The New England Patriots informed quarterback Nathan Rourke that he is being waived on Monday, according to sources. The move thins the team's quarterback room to four -- veteran Jacoby Brissett, rookie third overall pick Drake Maye, Bailey Zappe and rookie Joe Milton III. The move shouldn't come as a surprise after the Patriots selected two quarterbacks in this year's NFL draft. The 25-year-old Rourke has never appeared in an NFL game, although he did make 11 starts in 2021 and 2022 with the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League. Rourke will now look for another opportunity elsewhere as a depth option at the position with another NFL team.

Joe Burrow May 6 9:10pm ET
Joe Burrow

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) got glowing reviews while throwing at Monday's offseason workout. Burrow has been throwing during the offseason as he recovers from his injured right wrist, but Monday was the first day of Phase 2 of the team's offseason program. "He didn't miss a beat. Whatever he did in the offseason worked," receiver Kwamie Lassiter said. Burrow went through everything new QBs coach Brad Kragthorpe asked of him during the one-hour workout, which included footwork drills around obstacles. "I think he looked as quick and as athletic as I've seen him look," Kragthorpe said. "He looked like the Joe Burrow we're used to seeing. I didn't see any difference. I thought the ball came out of his hand well. Confidently. I'm happy where he's at."

Tank Dell May 6 8:30pm ET
Tank Dell

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) continues to recover from a gunshot wound sustained nearly a week ago. The 24-year-old, who was an innocent bystander during the shooting, still has some hurdles to clear, especially after also sustaining a fractured Fibula at the end of last season. However, he's expected to be cleared before training camp, although his status for Week 1 remains uncertain. Yet, if things continue to move positively, there's a good chance he'll be out there when the Texans begin their season. Dell finished the 2023-24 campaign by amassing 709 yards and seven touchdowns off 47 receptions. While fantasy managers are concerned about the injury and the potential for a decrease in production after the team added Stefon Diggs, Dell could still find himself surpassing the 1,000-yard receiving mark in the Texans' high-powered offense.

Deshaun Watson May 6 5:00pm ET
Deshaun Watson

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) has had well-documented struggles since being traded from the Houston Texans ahead of the 2022 season. He's appeared in just 12 games over the last two years, completing just under 60% of his passes for 2,217 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions. Those stats are far from his days of MVP contention with Houston, but Browns general manager Andrew Berry remains confident. "Obviously, he's been rehabbing the shoulder injury, but he is well on his way there and in a really strong spot," Berry said. "We do expect to hit the ground running on that side of the ball, and I know he is very excited about returning to the playing field and getting over this injury. We have high expectations for him and the offense this season."Watson missed Week 4, 6, and 8 last season and played just a handful of snaps in Week 7 before returning in Week 9. He was then placed on season-ending Injured Reserve ahead of Week 11. A combination of poor play and injuries has put a bleak outlook on his career, and 2024 could be his last chance to prove he belongs as a starter in Cleveland. All that said, backup quarterback Jameis Winston is an intriguing stash option in Superflex and dynasty leagues.

Rachaad White May 6 4:40pm ET
Rachaad White

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White saw 75.3% of the team's running back carries and targets in 2023, but running back coach Skip Peete said there will be more competition for touches this season. Tampa Bay selected Oregon running back Bucky Irving in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, while Chase Edmonds and 2023 undrafted free agent Sean Tucker remain on the roster. Ultimately, none of the running backs behind White are expensive investments for the organization, and it's always tricky to know whether a coach is being transparent or just trying to motivate the players in his position room. White was the RB4 overall (PPR) last season behind 990 rushing yards, 549 receiving yards, and nine total touchdowns. Although he could see his rushing volume take a hit, his receiving skill set that he's flashed since his collegiate career at Arizona State should keep him on the field for high-yield fantasy situations.

Xavier Worthy May 6 4:40pm ET
Xavier Worthy

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is coming along quickly at rookie minicamp, according to head coach Andy Reid. "I thought he did a nice job picking things up," Reid said "We asked him to do a whole lot of stuff there. He was put in mostly the primary spots, so it was good for him to get in there and move around a little bit." The speedster out of Texas recorded two touchdowns in 7-on-7 drills on Monday, according to ArrowHeadPride.com. This year's No. 28 overall pick will have sky-high expectations right away because of his situation with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his record-breaking 4.21 forty-yard dash at the NFL combine. However, Kansas City has a complex offense to learn, and the pass-catching trio of Travis Kelce, Marquise Brown, and Rashee Rice presents stiff target competition for Worthy in Year 1.

Marlon Davidson May 6 4:30pm ET
Marlon Davidson

Free-agent defensive lineman Marlon Davidson has agreed to terms to sign with the Tennessee Titans, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. The former First-Team All-SEC performer at Auburn was selected with the No. 47 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons, but he played in just 19 games for the organization. After a brief stint with the San Francisco 49ers last offseason, he signed with the Titans as a member of the practice squad and ended up appearing in five games. Overall, the 25-year-old has accumulated 39 tackles, two sacks, one interception, two pass deflections, and three run stuffs through his first 24 NFL contests. He'll likely compete to be a rotational run-stopper after Tennessee selected Texas defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

From RotoBaller

Chris Godwin May 6 4:20pm ET
Chris Godwin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is moving back into the slot receiver role in 2024, according to his position coach, Bryan McClendon. Godwin, who has posted at least 1,000 receiving yards in four of his last five seasons, played just 32.1% of his snaps in the slot last year. In 2022, he lined up in the slot 57.6% of the time. The 28-year-old's 7.6 targets per game was his lowest clip since 2020, so perhaps a move back to his more natural position will see that figure come back toward the 9.0 per game range. Mike Evans remains in the X-role, while Trey Palmer and third-round rookie Jalen McMillan will compete to start in three-wide sets.

Jeff Wilson May 6 2:50pm ET
Jeff Wilson

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. won't be assured of a roster spot out of training camp this summer as part of a crowded backfield that includes Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and rookie fourth-rounder Jaylen Wright. The Dolphins also have Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks in the RB room. Head coach Mike McDaniel has an affinity for Wilson dating back to their time together with the San Francisco 49ers, but the fact remains that Mostert, Achane and Wright will be locks for the roster. The former undrafted free agent out of North Texas failed to take advantage of Achane's injuries in 2023 and only played in 10 games (zero starts) himself, running for just 188 yards and no touchdowns on 41 carries while adding 14 receptions for 85 yards and no touchdowns.

Wan'Dale Robinson May 6 2:40pm ET
Wan'Dale Robinson

Most of the beat writers for the New York Giants would be surprised if first-round rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers isn't the team's most targeted player right away in 2024, but Wan'Dale Robinson should give him a good race. A fully healthy Robinson should push for the team lead in targets, but it's obvious that Nabers, the sixth overall pick in this year's NFL draft, has much more fantasy upside, both in the short and long term. The Giants are going to need playmakers like Nabers and Robinson to step now that running back Saquon Barkley is no longer in town. The 23-year-old Robinson, who was a second-rounder in 2022, suffered an ACL tear in his rookie year before catching 60 of 78 targets for 525 yards and a touchdown in 15 games (eight starts) last year. There's potential for a Robinson to take a big step forward in 2024, but it will also depend on quarterback Daniel Jones' (knee) health.

MarShawn Lloyd May 6 2:30pm ET
MarShawn Lloyd

It sounds as though the Green Bay Packers have plans to integrate rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd into their offense right away in 2024. "I would like to get him out there as much as possible," offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said. The coordinator said that Lloyd doesn't bring the same type of versatility that AJ Dillon does, but the rookie brings a different speed element to their backfield, and the Packers want to get Lloyd into open spaces. The 23-year-old was taken in the third round (88th overall). Josh Jacobs is going to be the Packers' clear-cut backfield leader, but it sounds as though Lloyd is seriously going to challenge Dillon for complementary touches right away, although he'll need to secure the ball better than he did in college to stay on the field. Lloyd might not make much noise in redraft formats in 2024, but he's a fine target for dynasty/keeper managers.

From RotoBaller

Zay Jones May 6 2:20pm ET
Zay Jones

Free-agent wide receiver Zay Jones, who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars after the NFL draft, is visiting with the Tennessee Titans on Monday, according to a source. Jones has an obvious connection to Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz, as the two worked together in Jacksonville in 2023. Jones became expendable for the Jags after they drafted Brian Thomas in the first round this year. The 29-year-old oft-injured receiver played in just nine games for Jacksonville last year due to a knee injury and finished with 34 catches for 321 yards and two touchdowns on 64 targets. If Jones does land in Tennessee with Holz, he'd merely be serving in a complementary depth role behind Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks if he can stay healthy, which would keep his fantasy ceiling and floor pretty low.

From RotoBaller

Joe Burrow May 6 2:20pm ET
Joe Burrow

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) is back on the field during the team's offseason workouts. Burrow is expected to be cleared for full contact at some point this month, and barring any setbacks after having surgery in November to fix a torn ligament in his right wrist, he should be fully recovered in time for training camp in late July. The 27-year-old has developed somewhat of a reputation for being injury-prone early in his career, but when he's healthy, he also has high-end QB1 upside in an offense that remains explosive with receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The former first overall pick in 2020 out of LSU was a Pro Bowler in 2022 in his last full season, when he threw for 4,475 yards, 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 16 starts. Burrow will be a fine QB1 target in fantasy after the top names come off the board.

Free-agent running back Rashaad Penny plans to sign an undisclosed deal with the Carolina Panthers, according to a source. The former first-round pick will reunite with head coach Dave Canales from their time together with the Seattle Seahawks. Penny will likely officially sign after the team's rookie minicamp, which wraps up on May 12. The 28-year-old from San Diego State was the 27th overall pick in 2018. Penny spent the first five years of his career in Seattle, displaying home run-hitting ability on the ground but struggling to stay healthy, appearing in just 42 games (11 starts). He played in just three games with the Eagles in 2023 and had only 11 carries for 33 yards. Penny will be joining another crowded backfield in Carolina that already consists of Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and rookie Jonathon Brooks, so he's not going to be on the fantasy radar.

The Las Vegas Raiders signed former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Guyton to an undisclosed deal on Monday. New Raiders general manager Tom Telesco also signed Guyton a few times when he was running the Chargers' front office. Guyton opened his last year with the Bolts in 2023 on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which caused him to miss the first eight games. When the 26-year-old returned, he had just 10 catches (21 targets) for 89 yards and a touchdown in eight games, even with Mike Williams (knee) missing most of the year with a season-ending injury. The former undrafted free agent out of North Texas can serve as a deep threat, but he's mostly served as receiving depth in his career and will continue to do so in Vegas behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and Michael Gallup.

Dynasty | The New York Jets drafted running back Isaiah Davis in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Davis has an uphill climb to a roster spot with the New York Jets after being taken in the fifth round. The Jets already have Breece Hall as their starter and also took Braelon Allen to shore up their backfield. Still, he has a chance and could surprise as a late-round small school prospect. While he may need to beat out Allen to earn a spot on the team, Davis should still be kept on watch lists for the time being.

Free-agent RB Rashaad Penny (Eagles) plans to sign with the Carolina Panthers following rookie minicamp, according to sources Monday, May 6. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.

Fantasy Spin: Penny has always had intrigue since he became a first-round pick in 2018. With Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks already there, Penny isn't anything more than a desperation flier at the end of the roster.
