Fantasy Impact: MVS recorded 315 receiving yards and one touchdown on 21 receptions during the Chiefs’ regular season in 2023. The 29-year-old will join a reworked wide receiver group that will look to build chemistry with QB Josh Allen.
Jared Goff has signed a contract extension with the Detroit Lions for 4 years worth up to $212 million. Goff is now the second-highest paid quarterback per year at $53 million, only behind Joe Burrow. (Source: Jordan Schultz on X)
Fantasy Impact: The Lions were able to secure their franchise quarterback for four more years. Goff finished last year as the QB7 overall after a healthy year. However, he only finished as QB13 in points per game among fellow quarterbacks with six or more starts. Goff has had solid production in the last two years, and remains a viable option in fantasy for both one quarterback and superflex leagues.

Fantasy Impact: The new deal makes him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history. The 25-year-old tallied six forced fumbles, three interceptions, and 12 passes defensed last season and will remain a key component of the Bucs’ defense.
The New Orleans Saints signed OL Lucas Patrick. (Source: Nick Underhill on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Patrick has played in 96 games since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He spent the past two seasons with the Bears and should add some versatility to the offensive line for the Saints.
The Houston Texans released RB Gerrid Doaks. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Doaks has yet to appear in an NFL game since being drafted in the seventh-round in 2021. He'll likely look to battle for a roster spot on a new team.
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed CB Anthony Averett. (Source: ProFootballTalk)
Fantasy Impact: Averett was with the Lions and 49ers last season, but did not appear in a game. He'll battle for a spot on the roster throughout camp.
The Chicago Bears signed TE Tommy Sweeney. (Source: Jordan Raanan on Twitter)

WR Albert Wilson announced his retirement from the NFL after seven seasons. (Source: Bobby Shouse on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Wilson played four seasons with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent. He spent the next three years in Miami.

Zay Jones has come to an agreement on a one-year contract with the Cardinals. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Jones was released late last month after spending the last couple of seasons with the Jaguars. The 29-year-old wide receiver will bring seven seasons of NFL experience to the Arizona receiver room. Jones had his best campaign as a pro in 2022, hauling in 82 passes for 823 yards and five scores. He was limited to nine games last season due to multiple nagging injuries and finished the season with 34 grabs for 321 yards.
Tarik Cohen has been released by the Panthers after signing a new contract with the team back in January. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: In an attempt to put multiple injuries behind him and make a return to an NFL field, Cohen spent all of the last season with Carolina's scout team. He was inked to a new contract this past January with hopes of competing for a spot on the 2024 roster. Cohen was once a Pro-Bowl caliber return man and pass-catching specialist out of the backfield, but he has not played in an NFL game since 2020.
Ben Skowronek has been traded to the Houston Texans. Skowronek was originally expected to be released, but instead, the Rams will receive compensation for him, which involves a 6th and 7th-round pick swap between the Rams and the Texans in 2026. (Source: Tom Pelissero on X)
Fantasy Impact: Skowronek joins a stacked wide receiver room in Houston, which includes Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and the newly acquired Stefon Diggs. Skowronek will likely be a depth piece in the Texans' wide receiver room, and won't be fantasy relevant in standard 12 team leagues.
The Giants claimed QB Nathan Rourke off waivers from the Patriots. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Rourke spent time with both the Jaguars and Patriots after playing in the CFL. He figures to add some depth to the quarterback room in New York with the Giants.
The Giants have signed free agent WR Allen Robinson II. (Source: Art Stapleton on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Robinson is coming off a disappointing 2023 season in which he recorded 280 receiving yards on 34 receptions in 17 games. Fantasy managers should expect the 30-year-old to operate as a depth receiver for the Giants.
