He dressed for Sunday’s game but didn’t play. Instead, the Eagles went with Miles Sanders as their lead back with Boston Scott working in a change-of-pace capacity. Sources indicated that Ajayi would play Sunday—the Eagles signed him as insurance for injured starter Jordan Howard—but obviously coach Doug Pederson didn’t feel comfortable trotting him out against New England. Even if Howard’s shoulder issues persist, it’s doubtful Ajayi will emerge as a fantasy option any time soon.

The Ravens retained offensive line depth in re-signing Cleveland, who appeared in 54 games in his first four seasons in Baltimore, seven of which were starts. He managed just 49 offensive snaps in 2024 while the Ravens experienced more health along their offensive line.

The veteran cornerback appeared in just eight games in 2024, with the move likely done to create cap space. The Titans can save $1.7 million against the cap while incurring $12.5 million in dead money should Awuzie be designated a pre-June 2 cut or they could save $4.2 million while incurring $10 million in dead money should they designate him a post-June 2 cut.

Campbell is unlikely to play ahead of Jalen Tolbert and Jonathan Mingo, meaning he is likely a depth signing for a Cowboys team longing for consistency behind alpha wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. 2025 looks to be shaping up as another high-volume season for Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson considering the current state of their skill position corps.

Smith-Schuster returns to the Chiefs on a one-year deal after serving in a complementary role with the team in 2024. The financials have not yet been released, but they are unlikely to turn many heads. Smith-Schuster was responsible for modest returns outside of the one game he played without all of Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, and DeAndre Hopkins, putting up a massive 8-130 receiving line in Week 5. While Nuk is no longer in town, the team also re-signed Brown, have promising second-year speedster Xavier Worthy, and will likely be getting back Rice, pending any legal ramifications from his previous troubles.

Becton was the 11th overall pick of the NFL Draft by the Jets in 2020, but missed nearly two full seasons with knee injuries. After starting 30 games in four years with New York, the Eagles brought him in to play right guard. Becton started 15 games for Philadelphia, had a 75.2 overall grade per PFF (21st among Gs), and won a Super Bowl. He excels in the run game, which will fit right in with Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers who needed help on the interior offensive line.

It’s been an eventful week for Juszczyk. He was released by the 49ers earlier this week in a cap-saving measure that freed up $4.2 million in 2025. The nine-time Pro Bowler met with the Steelers before eventually ending up back in San Francisco. He turns 34 in April, but has started 31 games over the last two seasons and last earned All-Pro honors in 2023.

Eskridge will chip in with the occasional target and kick return but he is not on the fantasy radar. He averaged 29.2 yards per kick return on five returns last year and caught 3-of-3 targets for 47 yards.

The rotational run-stuffer re-ups with the Rams after notching career-highs in both tackles (17) and tackles for loss or no gain (three). This was a needed move for the Rams, after losing starting DT Bobby Brown III to the Panthers this offseason.

Yeboah set career-high receiving sums across the board last year, catching 5-of-8 targets for 47 yards and one touchdown. He will serve as a deep, rotational option in Detroit.

Nwangwu had a brutal 2024 season, taking home AFC Special Teams Player of the Week in his lone active showing. At 27 years old, the speedy returner should have a fruitful special teams season, pending good health.
