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 49ers reportedly remain focused on keeping Brandon Aiyuk and getting a long-term extension done. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The rumors of Aiyuk being traded from the NFL Draft appear to be off the table, at least as of now. San Francisco views him as a crucial piece of its offense as they look to come to an agreement on an extension. This will remain a situation to monitor throughout the remainder of the offseason.

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.

The New Orleans Saints are waiving backup QB Kellen Mond. (Source: Field Yates on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Mond signed with the Saints in April, but they ended up drafting QB Spencer Rattler in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, likely leading to the former Texas A&M Aggie being waived. Though he is still only 24, the former third-round pick has not yet started a game and has only had one pro appearance while playing for four teams in four seasons. Mond will likely land on another team's practice squad somewhere, but his young stint in the league has quickly approached journeyman status.

Free agent wide receiver Zay Jones is scheduled to visit with the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jones was cut by the Jaguars earlier this offseason coming off a season that was marred by injuries. He played in nine games and caught 34 of 64 targets for 321 yards. However, he had 82 catches, 823 yards and five touchdowns the season before. Jones has met with the Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys and could provide a reliable but unspectacular boundary threat to whichever team he lands with.

Martavis Bryant has been released by the Cowboys after spending most of last season on the practice squad. The Cowboys are the first NFL team Bryant has been apart of since his suspension in 2018. (Source: Tom Pelissero)

Fantasy Impact: Bryant has not seen any playing action since 2018, as he was suspended from 2018-2023. The 32-year-old previously played for the Steelers and Raiders prior to his extended suspension. Bryant will likely look to join another squad, but even if he does, he won't have much viability as a fantasy player.

Scotty Miller has signed a one-year deal with the Steelers after spending last season with the Falcons. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)

Fantasy Impact: Miller's signing reunites him with Arthur Smith, former Falcons head coach and current offensive coordinator for the Steelers. Miller will look to compete for a roster spot as the summer progresses. Still, the Steelers will likely seek out a bigger name to help stabilize the wide receiver position after trading away Diontae Johnson.

Ben DiNucci has been released by the Broncos after spending the past year on the practice squad. (Source: Ari Meirov on X)

Fantasy Impact: DiNucci's release leaves the Broncos with three quarterbacks under contract: Jarrett Stidham, Zach Wilson, and Bo Nix. As OTAs continue throughout the summer, more information will come out regarding the pecking order of the Broncos' quarterback room.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is reportedly under investigation for allegedly hitting a photographer at a Dallas nightclub early Monday. (Source: Rachel Snyder, Rebecca Lopez, Joe Trahan, WFAA)

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.

Tyler Boyd has signed with the Titans on a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on X)

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.

Texans owner Cal McNair said Tank Dell will make a full recovery from his gunshot wound. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dell was wounded in a shootout at a Florida restaurant last month. He is also working his way back from a fibula fracture in Week 13 last season.

Fantasy Impact: Peat spent his entire career with the Saints, and now heads to the Raiders. He figures to add depth to the offensive line for Las Vegas.

The Tennessee Titans signed Marlon Davidson. (Source: Tennessee Titans on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Davidson signed with the Titans in the middle of last season. He'll likely compete for a starting spot in camp.

The Buffalo Bills signed Dawuane Smoot. (Source: NFL.com)

Fantasy Impact: Smoot last played with the Jaguars before his contract ended last season. He was coming off an injury last year which limited him to 12 games. He'll look to get back to full health with Buffalo this season.

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.
