Fantasy Football News & Rumors

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Matthew Stafford: extending QB is Rams’ ‘first priority’
The Los Angeles Rams’ front office is “committed” to extending QB Matthew Stafford, says Adam Schefter of ESPN, and that is their “first priority” as Stafford trade rumors surface early this offseason.

Fantasy Impact

Schefter was non-exact when saying whether or not Stafford could be traded this offseason, but he said that the veteran QB has L.A.’s interest, and a trade would only be on the table if a deal can not be met. The trade rumors all remain speculative for now; until an impasse is insurmountable between Stafford (who is likely looking for more guarantees) and the Rams, Stafford will remain in Los Angeles.

Derek Carr: Saints ‘fortunate’ to have veteran QB, says HC
Recently hired New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore said the team is “fortunate” to have QB Derek Carr on the team and called him a “tremendous starting quarterback.”

Fantasy Impact

While Moore did not directly answer the question, which was whether or not the Saints have a decision to make at quarterback or if the answer is on their roster, he still gave the veteran passer his flowers. Given cap implications, signs point toward Carr being on the roster in 2025, though as the veteran QB market heats up, it would not be a surprise either to see Carr get moved. Regardless, Carr should be considered the team’s QB1 as long as he is on the roster.

Travis Hunter attending NFL Scouting Combine as DB
2025 NFL Draft prospect Travis Hunter, who played both wide receiver and cornerback at Colorado and Jackson State, is set to attend the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine as a participant in the defensive back group.

Fantasy Impact

Hunter excelled at both positions at Colorado, recording 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns with four interceptions and 11 passes defended in 2024. He played both positions full-time, and while he insists he plans to do the same in the NFL, people remain skeptical about the practicality. However, some believe his best position at the NFL level is as a DB first who plays some on offense. His designation at the NFL Combine could be an indication of this, as he may be attending as a DB after receiving feedback from league circles.
