Fantasy Football News & Rumors

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Davante Adams‘ future to be decided in ‘next few weeks’
New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams‘ future with Gang Green is expected to be addressed within the “next few weeks,” according to general manager Darren Mougey.

Mougey said that, for now, Adams remains on the team’s roster, though given his cap hit in 2025 ($38.34 million) and Aaron Rodgers‘ expected departure, Adams’ future remains murky. The former Green Bay Packers star could be set to join his fourth team in his career, and where his next destination will be remains to be determined, though a release from New York seems likely given the team’s cap situation.

Travis Kelce expected to return for 2025 season
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is expected to return for his 13th season in the NFL despite contemplating his potential retirement, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact

This revelation comes after Chiefs general manager Brett Veach indicated Kelce would return. “We left it as, he’d be back and we’re excited to get him back and get him going,” Veach said. Head coach Andy Reid chimed in too, saying, “He’s been positive in that direction. We’ll cross all that here next week or so.” Even in his mid-30s, Kelce still had a strong 2024 with 97 catches for 823 yards, showing he can still be impactful at his age.

Jaylen Warren in line for restricted free-agent tender from Pittsburgh
Steelers GM Omar Khan noted Tuesday that Warren will receive a restricted free-agent tender, effectively keeping him with the team through the 2025 season. The main decision remains whether Pittsburgh opts for a second-round tender (roughly $5.2 million) or an original-round level (about $3.19 million). Since Warren was undrafted in 2022, an original-round tender would offer the Steelers no draft-pick compensation if he signed elsewhere and the team elected not to match the deal. A second-round tender would render that scenario unlikely, as few teams would be willing to forfeit a top-64 pick and pay Warren a hefty contract. The future of fellow back Najee Harris, set for unrestricted free agency, also looms large over Pittsburgh’s backfield.

Fantasy Impact

Warren has carved out a solid role in the Steelers’ offense, splitting work with Harris. His dual-threat upside, particularly in PPR formats, makes him a valuable depth piece and a possible late-round sleeper, should the team entrust him with more touches in 2025. If Harris departs in free agency-or even if his role diminishes-Warren could see an expanded workload. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Pittsburgh’s tender decision, as a second-round tag would solidify the team’s confidence in him and suggest he’ll remain a key part of the backfield.
