Fantasy Impact: Wolfe, an eight-year veteran out of Cincinnati, was drafted by the Broncos in the second round of the 2012 draft. The edge rusher started 12 games last season for the Broncos and recorded a career-high seven sacks. Wolfe has 299 tackles and 33 sacks in his career with Denver and now he’ll take his pass rushing ability to Baltimore, a nice consolation prize for the Ravens after they were unable to land DE Michael Brockers.

WR Demarcus Robinson is signing a one-year, $2,297,500 fully guaranteed deal to remain in Kansas City. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson, a former 2016 fourth-round selection out of Florida, has played three seasons with the Chiefs. Last year, Robinson found himself with a golden opportunity as fellow WR Tyreek Hill went down with a shoulder injury very early in the season. Robinson capitalized with some monster games for those that were able to pick him up off the waiver wire. He finished the year with 32 catches for 449 yards and four touchdowns. At best, he’s the 5th option on offense behind Hill, Travis Kelce, Mecole Hardman, and Sammy Watkins. Even with Watkins’ future with the Chiefs being up in the air, Robinson doesn’t find himself as anything more than a boom-or-bust WR5 heading into the year. He’ll be a hot waiver-wire pickup just like in 2019 if Hill or Hardman are to suffer an injury in 2020.

TE Eric Tomlinson announced on Instagram that he has signed a deal with the New York Giants. (Source: Art Stapleton on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The run-blocking specialist lands back in New York after playing games for three teams in 2019, Oakland, New England, and the Giants. Prior to last season, Tomlinson had played three seasons with the Jets, only catching 16 balls for 193 yards and one touchdown. He’ll be a nice addition to what the Giants are trying to do on offense that features star RB Saquon Barkley.

DT Shelby Harris is re-signing a one-year, up to $3.25M deal with the Denver Broncos, with $2.5M guaranteed. (Source: Nicki Jhabvala on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Harris will be back with the Broncos for a fourth season. He set a career-high in sacks last season with six, to go along with 49 tackles. After only starting six games in his first two years in Denver, Harris started all 16 games in 2019. He’ll look to build on his impressive 2019 campaign and provide the Broncos with a solid pass rush in 2020.

OL Dakota Dozier is re-signing a one-year, $1M deal to remain with the Minnesota Vikings. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The veteran guard will return to Minnesota for a second season. Dozier started his career in New York, playing five seasons with the Jets. He started four games last season for the Vikings, and will provide them with depth on the offensive line in 2020.

CB and special-teamer Ryan Smith has signed a one-year, $1.75M deal time return to the Buccaneers. $1M is guaranteed, with the opportunity to earn up to $500,000 in incentives. (Source: Greg Auman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The former 2016 fourth-round pick out of NC Central has been with Tampa Bay for four seasons. He played some corner in 2017 and 2018, recording 62 and 38 tackles respectively. In 2019, Smith was relegated to more of a special teams role, but thrived in that role, and has been doing so all four years with the Buccaneers. He’ll be back with the team for at least one more season.

DE Joel Heath has re-signed a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos. (Source: Field Yates on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Heath was claimed by the Broncos last season after he was released by the Texans. He played in Houston for three years prior to his release. Heath only has 34 tackles and three sacks during his three-year career, but the product out of Michigan State will get an opportunity to further his career as a defensive end in Denver.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports the Eagles have exercised their 2021 option on tight end Zach Ertz. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ertz is set to make $8 million this season followed by $8.25 million in 2021. The two sides are expected to continue discussing a long-term extension in the coming months. Ertz, who hauled in 88 receptions last season, should remain a high-end tight end for fantasy purposes this year.

Greg Zuerlein has agreed to a 3-year/$7.5M contract with the Cowboys. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: After splitting kicking duties in 2019 between Brett Maher and Kai Forbath, the Cowboys will get a big upgrade by bringing in Zuerlein. His big leg combined with the Cowboys’ explosive offense will make him a top-5 kicker for the 2020 season.

RB Ameer Abdullah re-signs with Minnesota on a one-year deal. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Abdullah will return to Minnesota for a third season. He’s been the primary kick returner and the 3rd or 4th RB on the depth chart for the Vikings the past two seasons. He’ll most likely compete with Mike Boone for the 3rd-string RB position behind Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison. Even if he beats out Boone for a spot behind Cook and Mattison, Abdullah likely doesn’t have any fantasy value unless either of the first two guys goes down with an injury.

DT Michael Brockers is headed back to Los Angeles to play for the Rams after he and the Ravens couldn’t come to an agreement on final contract terms. Brockers gets three-years, up to $31.5M from the Rams. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Brockers had originally struck a deal with Baltimore a week ago, but it has since fallen apart after the two sides were unable to negotiate contract terms that accounted for Brockers’ high-ankle sprain he suffered at the end of last season. The veteran DT has only played for the Rams in his eight-year NFL career, and he’ll be back with the team for three more years. Brockers has only gotten better with age, recording a career-high 63 tackles last season. He’ll look to continue that streak, and hit a new career-high in 2020 and beyond.

Former Cowboys DE Daniel Ross has agreed to terms with the Las Vegas Raiders. (Source: David Canter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The big defensive edge out of Northeast Mississippi Community College will get a chance to play for the Raiders after two seasons with the Cowboys in 2017 and 2018. Ross will look to add depth to the Raiders defensive line this upcoming season.

Former Panthers OT Daryl Williams has signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Williams heads to Buffalo after playing five seasons as a starter in Carolina. He’ll provide depth for the Bills offensive line at both the tackle and guard positions.

Free agent OT Marcus Gilbert has agreed to a one-year, up to $3.75M deal to remain in Arizona. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: After playing nine seasons with the Steelers, the veteran OT played for the Cardinals last season before landing on Injured Reserve for most of the year. He’ll look to put in a full workload this year in Arizona as he comes back from injury.

Long Snapper Nick Moore of the XFL Tampa Bay Vipers has signed a deal to become a member of the Baltimore Ravens. (Source: Field Yates on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The LB/LS from the University of Georgia will get an opportunity to play in the NFL for the Ravens after playing a shortened season with the Tampa Bay Vipers of the XFL. Yet another player from the XFL who will get a shot to compete at the next level.

CB Darqueze Dennard and the Jaguars were unable to come to an agreement on final terms on original three-year, $13.5M deal, making him a free agent once again. (Source: Field Yates on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dennard is back on the open market after his representation and the Jaguars couldn’t come to final terms on the contract. After spending six seasons in Cincinnati, Dennard finds himself as a free agent once again. The Jaguars were in desperate need of a corner after trading away both Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye in the last six months, but it looks like Dennard will not being filling in that hole for Jacksonville this season.

Xavier Rhodes is signing a one-year deal with the Colts. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: The Colts are betting that Rhodes will bounce back after struggling in coverage in 2019. He recorded a career-high 63 tackles, six pass defenses and one forced fumble across 15 games last season. The 30-year-old will most likely start at corner for an improved Colts defense, and try to prove he has something left in the tank.

Free agent CB E.J. Gaines has agreed to a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills, per source. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: A 2014 sixth-round pick out of Missouri, Gaines has had difficulty staying healthy throughout his NFL career. He missed both the 2015 and 2019 seasons due to injury. When healthy, Gaines is a playmaker in the secondary. He was with Buffalo in 2017, and started 11 games for the Bills that year. He then spent 2018 with the Browns, playing six games for them. Gaines will look to regain a full bill of health in Buffalo for the 2020 campaign.

According to a source, Ndamukong Suh has officially signed his one-year, $8M deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Suh is officially returning to Tampa Bay for the 2020 season. While the 10-year veteran has seen his sack totals decrease each year since 2014, he’s still a very formidable force on the defensive line. Suh has also been the epitome of consistency and health throughout his NFL tenure, missing just two games back in 2011. The Bucs are doing all they can to make their team a Super Bowl-caliber squad with the addition of QB Tom Brady and signing Suh was most definitely a top priority this off-season.

Former Giants and Broncos WR Cody Latimer is signing a deal with the Washington Redskins. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Latimer, a 2014 second-round pick out of Indiana, started his career with the Broncos before joining the Giants in 2018. He’s never had more than 24 receptions, 300 yards, and two touchdowns in any given season in his six-year career. He’ll look for a fresh start with new head coach Ron Rivera on a relatively young Washington offense. Latimer is not a target in fantasy leagues going into the 2020 season, as he’s behind at a minimum Terry McLaurin and Steven Sims on the depth chart.
