Wide receiver Garrett Wilson and the New York Jets have come to terms on a four-year extension worth $130 million with $90 million guaranteed. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)

Fantasy Impact: The Jets are making Wilson one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL, putting their stamp of approval on a player whose talent has been more obvious than his production. Playing with a long list of quarterbacks from Aaron Rodgers to Zach Wilson to Tim Boyle, Wilson has struggled to find consistent dominant production, translating to half-PPR finishes as the WR19, 32, and 11 in Years 1-3, respectively. However, he is now locked in as a Jet after trade rumors and is set to play alongside Justin Fields in 2025.

Jauan Jennings wants a new contract from the 49ers or a trade. Jennings originally signed a 2-year extension in 2024 that would keep him under contract through 2025. After a breakout season and on an expiring contract, Jennings is seeking a new deal. (Source: Adam Schefter via X)

Fantasy Impact: The stance Jennings is taking is on par with most players in contract years seeking financial security. With Brandon Aiyuk likely out to start the year and Ricky Pearsall still a bit of an unknown despite a promising end to 2024, the Niners will likely shell out money, given that even with a pay raise his contract shouldn’t be breaking the bank.

He has also been seeing more reps in practices as the top target for Tagovailoa with Tyreek Hill working his way back from surgeries on his wrist. Waddle has proven to be a capable WR2 for fantasy managers when healthy. His durability has been one of his bigger knocks.

Jaguars beat reporter Jacob Robinson said to “expect an offense-heavy start” for Travis Hunter.

Fantasy Impact: It remains unknown what the split will be for Hunter between the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. With this report of him expected to be focusing on the offensive side, his upside for fantasy managers remains high playing alongside Brian Thomas Jr.

49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk said Christian McCaffrey looks healthy and “so explosive” ahead of training camp. (Source: Vic Tafur)

Fantasy Impact: The reports remain positive on McCaffrey ahead of training camp. The veteran running back missed most of last season due to bilateral Achilles tendinitis and a PCL sprain. The upside remains high for McCaffrey when he is on the field as the No. 1 overall running back in fantasy football. The risk is his injury history.
