According to the team, the Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms on an undisclosed contract with free-agent defensive back Ryan Cooper Jr. The 23-year-old was an undrafted free agent in 2024 with the Baltimore Ravens, where he appeared in one game, spending most of the season on the team's practice squad. Following the campaign, he signed a reserve/futures contract with the Seahawks, but Miami scooped him up off waivers in late February. Cooper was a two-year starter at the College of San Mateo, but spent his final two collegiate seasons at Oregon State (2022-23). He appeared in 23 games there, recording 82 tackles (52 solo), 1.5 sacks, four interceptions, and 22 passes defensed. If he makes the team, it's likely to be as a depth piece.

Rookie offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. and the Washington Commanders have agreed to a four-year, $15.68 million contract. The team selected the Oregon product No. 29 overall in April's draft to help shore up second-year quarterback Jayden Daniel's front side off the edge. Conerly Jr. started 14 games in each of his final two seasons as a Duck, boasting first-team All-Big Ten honors in his final campaign. Additionally, he was a finalist for the Joe Moore Award (nation's top OL). The 21-year-old excels in both the passing and rushing game, but does his best work when protecting his QB. In 2024, Conerly Jr. yielded just five pressures and one sack with none after the season's second week. He profiles to develop into a prototypical tackle eventually.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed undrafted rookie wide receiver
Montana Lemonious-Craig to an undisclosed contract. Teresa Varley of Steelers.com reported the news. The 22-year-old spent five seasons at the collegiate level, with his last two campaigns at the University of Arizona (Colorado). Lemonious-Craig combined for 45 receptions, 468 yards, and four touchdowns in his time as a Wildcat, and totaled 79 receptions for 965 yards and nine touchdowns in 47 college outings. Due to the lack of production in his prospect profile, he doesn't project to make much of an impact on the field. However, with the recent departure of wideout
George Pickens, the Steelers' WR corps is a bit lacking. If Lemonious-Craig can show out over the next few months, he may garner a rotational role out wide. He'll reportedly wear No. 14.

According to the team, the San Francisco 49ers have signed free-agent inside linebacker Chazz Surratt to an undisclosed contract. Linebacker DaShaun White was waived in a corresponding move. Surratt was a former third-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings back in 2021, but he spent just one season with the team before finding his way to the New York Jets roster. He'd occupied a spot there over the prior three seasons. In 41 career games (five starts), the North Carolina product has notched 19 tackles, with all but one coming in 17 2024 appearances. He figures to spend most of his time as a rotational piece behind incumbent starter Fred Warner, and will likely be a member of their special teams unit as well.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Cedric Tillman (concussion) was taking part in voluntary organized team activities and was running with the first-team offense on Wednesday, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Dan Labbe. It's a good sign for Tillman after he finished last season on Injured Reserve and missed the final six games due to a lingering concussion. The 25-year-old former third-rounder (74th overall) in 2023 out of Tennessee showed improvement in Year 2 before his head injury, catching 29 of 49 targets for 339 yards and his first three NFL touchdowns in 11 games (six starts). While
Diontae Johnson could have something to say about it, Tillman is currently position well for WR2 duties in 2025 behind
Jerry Jeudy, although Cleveland's uncertain quarterback situation doesn't exactly bode well for Tillman's chances to make an impact in fantasy.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Dont'e Thornton Jr. flashed at the team's Thursday OTA practice, according to team reporter Levi Edwards. The fourth-round rookie out of Tennessee turned heads at the 2025 NFL Combine after posting a 4.30-second 40-yard dash time at nearly 6-feet-5 inches tall, which proved to increase his draft stock mightily. The speedster led the nation in yards per reception last season (25.4) and tallied 26 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns. Thornton might not have a significant or consistent impact right away behind
Jakobi Meyers,
Brock Bowers,
Jack Bech,
Tre Tucker, and potentially others in the target pecking order, but he has game-changing size-speed ability and could help the offense stretch the field in 2025. The 22-year-old is worth a late best ball dart throw and rookie draft flyer.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Rashee Rice (knee) was limited to just three full games last season before suffering a major knee injury in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Before his injury, he looked like a fantasy football league winner while securing 24 receptions for 288 yards and two scores. According to quarterback
Patrick Mahomes, he is healing up nicely. "He looks like Rashee," Mahomes said after Thursday's OTAs. "I think he can be one of the best receivers in the league." Rice seemed to be locked into the WR1 role early in last year's campaign, so if he is fully healthy for the start of the 2025 season, he could be one of the best value picks at his low-end WR2 cost in fantasy drafts. That said, uncertainty surrounding his handful of off-the-field incidents from last offseason remains. It is unknown if he will face a suspension that will affect his 2025 availability.

Denver Broncos running back
RJ Harvey has become one of the hottest fantasy football names among rookies after being selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. According to team reporter Andrew Mason, the University of Central Florida product had a strong minicamp and "made another statement" at Thursday's OTA practice. Harvey was the fifth running back off the board last month after rushing for 3,789 yards (6.5 YPC) and 43 rushing touchdowns over the last three seasons. He added 61 receptions for 720 yards and four scores in 41 games. In Sean Payton's offense, expectations are high for the versatile and explosive back. He has minimal competition in the Denver backfield, and he should be utilized heavily as a receiver right away. Harvey should have no problem producing an RB2 season as a rookie, and he has an RB1 ceiling.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers have discussed a trade involving Pro Bowl tight end
Jonnu Smith. These trade talks came after Smith hinted at wanting a new deal following his career season. The 29-year-old is due $4.8 million this season after catching 88 passes for 884 yards and eight touchdowns in his first season with Miami. Smith is outside the top 20 highest-paid players at the position, so asking for a raise is warranted. Smith spent the 2023 season with current Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith in Atlanta after spending four seasons with him in Tennessee from 2017 to 2020. That said, he would have instant familiarity with his system if he's dealt to Pittsburgh. If this trade materializes, the fantasy stocks of
Tyreek Hill and
Jaylen Waddle would rise, while
Pat Freiermuth could be at risk of falling off the fantasy radar.

New Orleans Saints quarterback
Tyler Shough, who is firmly in the battle for the QB1 job, had an "encouraging performance" during Thursday's OTA practice. "Shough showed it today," Saints reporter Nick Underhill wrote. "Hit two bombs for TDs, real nice layered throw going to the sideline and had an incomplete pass on the move that barely missed but athleticism flashed." The 25-year-old is likely the favorite to be the Week 1 starter in Kellen Moore's new offense after the sudden retirement of
Derek Carr (shoulder), so the positive report is promising. Shough was a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after tossing for 7,820 yards, 59 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions in 42 collegiate games with Oregon, Texas Tech, and Louisville. He also scored 11 career rushing touchdowns. Shough is no stranger to learning a new system on the fly, so he could exceed relatively low expectations in Year 1.

Veteran free-agent tight end
Marcedes Lewis wants to play in 2025, and he expects it to be his final NFL season. The 41-year-old spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears following five seasons with the Green Bay Packers and 12 campaigns with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Originally a first-round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft out of UCLA, Lewis has tallied 437 receptions for 5,115 yards and 40 touchdowns in 285 career games. He hasn't cracked 400 receiving yards since 2012, but he is one of the better blocking tight ends in the league. If he signs somewhere for a 20th NFL season, he will not be on the fantasy football radar. Either way, it's easy to root for the veteran who has been remarkably healthy late in his career.
