Fantasy Impact: “I would, I think it’s pretty cool — as soon as you touch the ball that’s when everything starts to happen,” Warren said. “Our special teams coordinator was talking about Justin Fields being back there. . . . We looked at him like, Justin Fields will be back there? I think it’s cool.” This could be something to monitor throughout the remainder of the offseason.

Boston Scott has signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. He joins the Rams after playing for the Eagles since they drafted him in 2018. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)

Fantasy Impact: Scott joins Kyren Williams and the newly drafted Blake Corum in the Los Angeles backfield. He likely won't see significant playing throughout the season unless Wiliams or Corum get injured, but is a good depth piece for the Rams after being decimated at the running back position last year.

The Atlanta Falcons are exercising the fifth-year option for Kyle Pitts. (Source: Field Yates on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, the Falcons will pick up the fifth-year option to keep Pitts under contract for another season. He has been a bit disappointing so far relative to how much he was hyped up after being drafted fourth overall back in 2021, but this season he will finally be healthy and will presumably have good quarterback play from Kirk Cousins. This move was expected but still adds a bit more long-term security to the tight end's profile.

Brevyn Spann-Ford is signing an UDFA deal with the Dallas Cowboys. (Source: Michael Gehlken on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Spann-Ford was not picked in last week's NFL Draft, but he will be joining the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent. He had a strong market, but Dallas is giving him a good deal and will allow him to compete for a roster spot. It's highly unlikely that he carves out a fantasy-relevant role this year, however.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released kicker Joey Slye from their roster. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Slye saw a lot of action with the Jaguars last year, but the team is now opting to release him to create roster space. The team just drafted rookie kicker Cam Little in the NFL Draft last week, so it will likely be a competition between him and veteran Riley Patterson for the starting spot. Slye could end up on a roster somewhere, but until then, he carries no fantasy value.

Dallin Holker has signed a deal to join the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent. (Source: New Orleans Saints)

Fantasy Impact: Holker, a rookie tight end from Colorado State, surprisingly went undrafted in last week's NFL draft. He is now signing a deal to join the New Orleans Saints, where he will be able to compete for a roster spot. The Saints already have three strong tight ends, however, so his path to relevance seems murky at best at this point.
