Fantasy Impact: Dallas police say they are investigating witnesses about the alleged nightclub assault, but not much more information is available at this time. Rice currently faces eight charges for a multi-car accident that occurred in Dallas in late March. There have been reports that Rice could face a multi-game suspension for the accident, but as these two situations work their way through the legal system, the NFL will likely be weighing things to determine whether or not Rice could miss regular season action in 2024.

Fantasy Impact: After playing for the Bengals his entire career, the 29-year-old wide receiver is moving on. He joins the Titans wide receiver room which consists of Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, and Treylon Burks. In most leagues, Boyd likely won't be draftable, but could be a good fill-in waiver wire option for bye weeks and injuries.

Joe Burrow is back to participating in football activities after having season-ending surgery on his right wrist in November 2023. He missed the final seven games of the 2023-2024 with this injury. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)

Fantasy Impact: Burrow practicing again has to be a relief to all Bengals fans everywhere. The 27-year-old quarterback has faced injury-riddled seasons, but when healthy, he has been an MVP-level player and has shown that he can support two top-12 wide receivers in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. If he can stay healthy, Burrow will look to lead his team back to Super Bowl contention.

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed WR Jalen Guyton. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Guyton only suited up in eight games last season, registering 89 receiving yards and one touchdown on 10 receptions. He will likely compete for a depth role behind three strong veteran wide receiver options in the Raiders’ offense.

Rashaad Penny is reportedly planning to sign with the Carolina Panthers. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Penny will reunite with head coach Dave Canales from their days with the Seahawks. The deal is expected to become official after rookie minicamp. Penny played in just three games in his one season with the Eagles. He'll look to earn a role in the Panthers backfield alongside Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and rookie Jonathan Brooks.

Veteran WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is scheduled to visit with the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday. (Source: Ari Meirov on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Chargers completely reset at WR this offseason, moving on from WRs Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. With a WR room of Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston and DJ Chark Jr. — and rookies Ladd McConkey, Brenden Rice and Cornelius Johnson — the Chargers could use further veteran help. Not much more should be expected from Valdes-Scantling beyond vertical field-stretching and occasional splash plays, but it's a role the team could use within a rotation if they sign together.

Veteran RB Duke Johnson Jr. has announced his retirement from the NFL after playing eight seasons for four teams. (Source: Duke Johnson on Instagram)

Fantasy Impact: Johnson was a third-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in the 2015 NFL Draft out of the University of Miami (FL). Serving as a dual threat in both the passing game and receiving game, Johnson averaged 516 receiving yards and 855 scrimmage yards over his first five seasons. He will end his career with 5,135 scrimmage yards and 23 total TDs between the Browns, Houston Texans, Miami Dolphins, and Buffalo Bills.

Chase Claypool is signing a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Claypool has been on three different teams over the past two seasons, and now he's signing a one-year deal to join the Bills. He has totaled just 528 yards and two touchdowns over the past couple of seasons, but with Buffalo being thin at the wide receiver position, he may have a chance to make an impact. The added depth is good for QB Josh Allen, who will be without both Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis for the first time in several years.

Odell Beckham Jr. is signing a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Beckham has been weighing his options for a while now, but he has finally come to the decision to sign with the Miami Dolphins. He was reportedly offered more money to sign elsewhere, but he declined it because he likes how he fits with Miami. He will be behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle on the depth chart, but he will likely be the WR3 for the team with a reasonable chance to be fantasy relevant in the case of an injury. His presence will also snuff out any hope for a rookie year breakout from Malik Washington or Tahj Washington, both of whom Miami got in the NFL Draft.

DJ Chark has signed a one-year deal with the Chargers worth up to $5 million after spending last year with the Panthers and the year prior with the Lions. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)

Fantasy Impact: Chark joins a Chargers wide receiver room that is in need of an upgrade from last year, especially with the departure of Keenan Allen. Chark will look to supply a veteran presence and a deep ball threat to a young Chargers wide receiver room that mostly consists of inexperienced pass catchers.

Nate Wiggins signed his rookie contract with the Ravens. The first-round cornerback signed a fully guaranteed four-year deal worth $12.8 million and received a $6.1 million signing bonus. (Source: Ari Meirov on X)

Fantasy Impact: Wiggins is the first Round 1 player to sign his rookie deal. His first-round draft capital indicates he will be an integral part of the Ravens defense, which finished DST 2 in the 2023 season.

Najee Harris' fifth-year contract has been declined by the Steelers as he enters his fourth year in the league. (Source: Gerry Dulac on X)

Fantasy Impact: Harris' impact on the field has varied greatly throughout his career in Pittsburgh. During his rookie year, Harris totaled 1200 rushing yards and just under 500 passing yards, but he has not been able to meet or surpass either of those marks in the subsequent years. While injuries have likely contributed to his inefficiencies, the Steelers haven't seen enough to option him for his fifth year. Harris looks to remain the early down and goal line back for the Steelers going into his final contract year. Meanwhile, running mate Jaylen Warren remains the more explosive option in the Steelers rushing attack as the offense gets a new starting quarterback and new offensive coordinator.

The Colts exercised the fifth-year option on Kwity Paye’s contract. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Paye is coming off a career season where he recorded 8.5 sacks. He'll look to continue to improve on the defensive line for the Colts.

The Packers declined the fifth-year option for Eric Stokes. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Stokes has dealt with injuries the past couple of seasons following a solid rookie year in Green Bay. He will look for a big season coming up in a prove-it type of year.

Daniel Jones said he is in a "good spot" with his rehab. (Source: Dan Duggan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: When asked about the Giants considering trading up for a quarterback last month during the NFL Draft, Jones said he is focused on what he can control. He added he expects to be healthy for training camp. The Giants did bring in Drew Lock this offseason who figures to add some competition to the quarterback room. It will be a big year for Jones to prove himself this season.
