Check out the latest fantasy football news and notes around the NFL.

Isaiah Likely could sign extension with Ravens
Ian Rapoport reported that the Ravens could sign Isaiah Likely to a contract extension.
Fantasy Impact
Baltimore could sign Lamar Jackson to an extension this offseason which would open up cap space for the team. One of the moves they could make with the available cap is giving Likely an extension. He is hopeful to take a step forward with his role in the passing game for the Ravens alongside Mark Andrews this season. Likely is entering a contract year, so it would make sense to extend him now if Baltimore wants to keep him long-term.

Luther Burden III misses mandatory minicamp with soft tissue injury
Bears rookie WR Luther Burden was sidelined through mandatory minicamp with a soft tissue injury.
Fantasy Impact
It is unclear when Burden will be able to return to full health. It could be in the Bears final OTA session next week. He will likely enter the season as the WR3 for Chicago behind DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. With Ben Johnson expected to run a lot of 12 personnel, it is unclear how much opportunity Burden might see in year one this season. He has yet to sign his rookie contract as well.

Lamar Jackson: contract extension is ‘on the docket’
Ian Rapoport reported that a contract extension for Lamar Jackson is “on the docket for the Ravens.”
Fantasy Impact
Jackson is expected to be extended before he enters a contract year. If the two sides can land an extension this offseason, it would open up cap space to allow Baltimore to make other moves.

Colston Loveland nearing return from shoulder surgery
Bears rookie TE Colston Loveland “could be” nearing his return from offseason shoulder surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Adam Jahns of The Athletic reported that Loveland was “in uniform” with the team on the third and final day of minicamp. The No. 10 overall pick back in April should be ready to practice at some point by training camp barring any setbacks.

Kyle Pitts: Falcons ‘could be enticed’ to trade TE
Adam Schefter reported that the Falcons “could be enticed” to trade TE Kyle Pitts.
Fantasy Impact
Pitts is also reportedly dealing with a strained muscle in his foot. Schefter noted that multiple teams have reached out about a potential trade for Pitts. He is on the final year of his rookie contract. This remains a situation to monitor heading into minicamp and training camp.

Michael Pittman Jr. (knee) to likely be held out of minicamp
Michael Pittman Jr. is expected to be held out of Colts minicamp next week.
Fantasy Impact
Pittman left practice early on Thursday after bumping knees with a defender. The Colts will be cautious with their top receiver.

Jaire Alexander released by Packers
Jaire Alexander has been released by the Packers after the two sides failed to come to a contract agreement.
Fantasy Impact
Jaire and the Packers have been at odds for quite a while, the two-time Pro Bowler was rumored to be in trades or even having to take a pay cut to stay on the team. He’s a great corner when healthy, but often injured, which likely was a big factor in his release.
