Players being added most on Sleeper in the last 24 hours
1
CLE
BrownsSleeper35d ago
Taylen Green is Sleeper's 5th most-added player over the last day, with nearly 11,000 leagues adding the Cleveland QB. The 2025 first-round pick is healthy and actively competing for reps heading into 2026 training camp. Green's draft capital and situation are fueling speculation about potential breakout potential.
Advice: Monitor Green's offseason workload and reports from Browns camp, but hold off roster moves in redraft until you have clarity on starter designation. In dynasty and best ball, Green is already priced for speculation—wait for clearer depth chart signals in late July before committing valuable draft picks.
2
IND
ColtsSleeper35d ago
Seth McGowan is the 4th most-added player on Sleeper over the last 24 hours with 11,432 adds, signaling renewed fantasy interest in the Colts backup back. The second-year RB remains active and healthy as Indianapolis prepares for the upcoming offseason. McGowan's surge in adds suggests he's gaining traction as a potential late-round value play or handcuff target.
Advice: Monitor McGowan's draft capital and offseason usage during minicamp, but hold off adding in redraft leagues until Week 1 depth charts solidify—he remains a speculative handcuff in dynasty formats behind whoever IND's starter is in 2026.
3
CLE
BrownsSleeper35d ago
Deshaun Watson (QB, CLE) is trending hard on Sleeper as the third most-added player overall with 11,888 adds in the last 24 hours. The signal suggests pre-draft momentum building for Watson heading into 2026 after a full offseason to work with the revamped Browns offense.
Advice: In 2026 best ball and redraft leagues, Watson's draft stock is climbing — lock him in at his current ADP before it spikes further. The league-wide attention could push his mid-round QB valuation upward, making now the ideal time to snag him in early drafts.
4
MIA
DolphinsSleeper35d ago
Caleb Douglas is trending as the No. 2 most-added player on Sleeper over the last 24 hours with over 17,000 adds, signaling growing fantasy interest in the Dolphins wideout. The active WR is gaining draft momentum as Miami approaches the 2026 season, with widespread league activity suggesting he's becoming a target in best ball and redraft formats.
Advice: Monitor Douglas's preseason performance and snap count allocation—early draft capital in best ball leagues could offer value if he's securing consistent targets in Miami's passing game. Add to watchlists now if he's available in your ADP ranges heading into draft season.
5
CHI
BearsSleeper35d ago
Zavion Thomas is the most-added player on Sleeper over the last day, drawing 24,057 new fantasy team adds. The Bears WR remains active and healthy heading into the 2026 offseason. Thomas' spike in league additions suggests growing draft capital and renewed fantasy interest entering the pre-draft season.
Advice: In dynasty and best ball leagues, monitor Thomas' draft capital and landing spot once the 2026 offseason settles; if Chicago commits investment or he gets redraft buzz, his ADP will climb fast. Don't reach in traditional redrafts, but stash in dynasty formats if available at reasonable cost.
6
IND
ColtsSleeper35d ago
Seth McGowan (RB, IND) is the 5th most-added player on Sleeper in the last 24 hours with nearly 9,300 adds. The running back remains active and healthy as Indianapolis enters the offseason. McGowan's surge in league adds suggests fantasy players are positioning for a potential role increase in the Colts backfield.
Advice: Add McGowan in dynasty leagues and best ball formats immediately if rostering Colts RB depth—he's positioning as a potential league-winner if Indianapolis moves on from their primary back. Monitor Colts draft activity closely; any early RB selection would diminish his 2026 upside significantly.
7
BAL
RavensSleeper36d ago
Diego Pavia has been added in over 10,800 fantasy leagues in the last 24 hours, ranking as the 5th most-added player across all positions on Sleeper. The Ravens signal a shift in their QB room with Pavia trending up as a potential starter or significant backup entering the 2026 draft period. His active status and league activity suggest fantasy players are positioning early for what could be a major role change in Baltimore.
Advice: In dynasty and best ball leagues, grab Pavia immediately at his current ADP if the Ravens commit to him as their starter—rookie QB upside in Baltimore's run-first offense could yield league-winning value. Redraft players should wait for training camp clarity, but he's worth a late-round flier if he secures the starting job.
8
CLE
BrownsSleeper36d ago
Taylen Green is generating significant pre-draft buzz with 13,224 adds on Sleeper in the last day, landing him as the 4th most-added player overall. The Cleveland QB is healthy and positioned to compete for the starting role heading into 2026. Green's mobility and upside are attracting dynasty and best ball players ahead of draft season.
Advice: Target **Green** in dynasty rookie drafts and best ball tournaments as a late-round QB with starting potential in Cleveland; his rushing ability gives him higher ceiling than typical pocket passers in those formats.
9
CLE
BrownsSleeper36d ago
Deshaun Watson is the third-most added player on Sleeper over the last 24 hours with 14,936 new roster spots, signaling renewed confidence heading into the 2026 draft season. The Browns QB remains active and healthy as the offseason progresses. Watson's recent momentum suggests fantasy managers are rotating him higher in their preseason rankings and draft boards.
Advice: In redraft formats, monitor Watson's ADP closely—he may be climbing faster than his actual value justifies at this early stage. Dynasty leagues should already have him rostered; if he's still available, the spike in adds suggests a window to acquire him at reasonable cost before draft season pushes him higher.
10
CHI
BearsSleeper36d ago
Zavion Thomas (WR, CHI) is trending massively in fantasy circles heading into the 2026 draft, ranking as the No. 2 most-added player on Sleeper over the last day with 20,781 adds. The wide receiver remains active and healthy, fueling speculation about his breakout potential with the Bears' offense.
Advice: Monitor Thomas's ADP in 2026 drafts closely—sharp money is moving in his direction pre-draft, suggesting either a draft capital catalyist or improved offseason buzz around the Bears' WR room. In best ball and redraft leagues, his rising ADP may already be pricing in significant upside, so target him earlier than consensus if you believe in the narrative.
11
MIA
DolphinsSleeper36d ago
Caleb Douglas is the most-added player on Sleeper over the last 24 hours with 21,048 adds, signaling serious pre-draft momentum for the Dolphins WR. The active receiver is gaining traction ahead of the 2026 season as Miami's receiving corps takes shape.
Advice: Douglas's surge in draft interest warrants immediate attention in dynasty leagues and best ball formats; monitor his ADP trajectory closely as draft season accelerates to ensure you're not caught off-guard by potential mid-round value compression.
12
CLE
BrownsSleeper36d ago
Deshaun Watson is trending sharply upward on Sleeper as the 2026 draft season heats up, drawing massive volume across fantasy platforms. The Cleveland QB is active and healthy heading into the new season. Watson's recent addition spike suggests dynasty and best-ball players are positioning him earlier than previous ADP projections.
Advice: In dynasty leagues, **Watson** is worth targeting at or near ADP if he's being overlooked due to recent injury concerns—elite talent in a stable situation. Best-ball players should note the spike may push him higher in upcoming drafts; grab him in early rounds if your price targets haven't adjusted yet.
13
BAL
RavensSleeper36d ago
Diego Pavia cracked the top-5 most-added players on Sleeper with 9,387 adds in 24 hours, signaling serious fantasy interest in the Ravens' QB room. The active signal-caller is generating momentum as Baltimore's starting QB picture remains unsettled heading into the 2026 season. Pavia's dual-threat upside and potential path to the starting job are driving the adds.
Advice: In dynasty leagues, grab Pavia now if he clears waivers—he's a high-upside lottery ticket with starter potential in a run-heavy Ravens offense. Monitor the team's draft activity closely; if Baltimore doesn't invest heavily at QB, Pavia becomes a legitimate 2026 season-long play.
14
SF
49ersSleeper37d ago
Kaelon Black (RB, SF) is generating significant draft buzz ahead of the 2026 season, trending as one of the most sought-after adds on Sleeper. The running back remains active and healthy, positioning himself for an increased role in San Francisco's upcoming offense. The spike in league adds suggests fantasy managers are either capitalizing on an ADP discount or reacting to positive reports from the team's offseason program.
Advice: Monitor Black's preseason usage and snap count closely—early volume trends could reveal if he's locked in as the lead back heading into draft season. In PPR and dynasty leagues, target him in mid-to-late rounds if ADP hasn't fully corrected yet, as this hype surge may represent genuine opportunity rather than hype correction.
15
CLE
BrownsSleeper37d ago
Taylen Green is generating serious draft buzz as a late-round flier for Cleveland. The mobile QB is healthy and positioned to compete for reps in the Browns' offense. His athletic profile and upside as a dual-threat has dynasty and best-ball players scrambling for adds ahead of the 2026 season.
Advice: In dynasty leagues, grab Green in the middle rounds of startup drafts or as a free agent if available—his combination of youth, athleticism, and opportunity in a contested QB room offers significant upside at minimal cost. Best-ball players should target him as a late-round flier for tournament upside.
16
BAL
RavensSleeper37d ago
Adam Randall is the third most-added player on Sleeper over the last 24 hours with 13,510 adds, signaling growing fantasy interest in the Baltimore backfield heading into the 2026 season. The RB remains active and available in most leagues as teams prepare for the upcoming draft.
Advice: In dynasty and best ball leagues, Randall is worth adding now given Ravens' backfield volatility and his sudden draft stock surge—monitor his spring usage patterns and draft capital before your draft to confirm the hype is warranted.

GB
Packers5h ago
Christian Watson and Green Bay agreed to a four-year, $110.5 million extension with a $31 million signing bonus, securing the WR1 role long-term. The deal signals the Packers' commitment to Watson as a centerpiece of their offense heading into 2026 and beyond.
Advice: Watson's extension locks him into Green Bay's offense for the prime years of his career—a massive positive for dynasty leagues and 2026 best ball. Lock him in as a top-12 WR for next season's draft regardless of league format.
2
SF
49ers1d ago
George Kittle is progressing faster than expected in his recovery from a torn right Achilles and believes he'll be ready for the 49ers' Week 1 matchup against the Rams. The tight end told reporters he's "ahead of schedule" with his rehab. Kittle's presence would immediately restore San Francisco's passing game and give Brock Purdy a safety valve he lacked last season.
Advice: In redraft and dynasty leagues, Kittle's potential Week 1 availability dramatically increases his draft value—he could climb into rounds 3-4 as a best-ball gem if consensus remains cautious. Lock him in early if this timeline holds; a healthy Kittle is a top-3 TE lock for 2026.
3
NYJ
Jets27d ago
Breece Hall agreed to a three-year extension worth $43.5 million ($45.75M with incentives) after being franchise tagged in March. The deal locks in the Jets' lead back through 2028 and signals confidence in Hall as the centerpiece of New York's offensive rebuild. Hall has emerged as a clear workhorse since entering the league, averaging 4.3 yards per carry and maintaining dual-threat upside.
Advice: In dynasty and best ball formats, Hall's contract extension is a major positive signal for long-term value—lock him in as a top-15 RB in your 2026 draft class ahead of the season. For redraft leagues, Hall remains a safe mid-round target with three years of guaranteed backfield security heading into the new regime.
4
DET
Lions37d ago
Jahmyr Gibbs will remain in Detroit through the 2027 season after the Lions exercised his fifth-year option, locking in the talented back for the foreseeable future. The move signals confidence in Gibbs as a centerpiece of the offense and removes uncertainty around his availability. Detroit also declined linebacker Jack Campbell's option, moving on from the veteran defender.
Advice: Gibbs is now locked in as a Lions cornerstone through 2027—a massive green flag for dynasty and best ball drafts. Target him aggressively in 2026 rookie/veteran drafts as a locked-in lead back with long-term opportunity and offensive stability.
5
GB
Packers38d ago
Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden will be Green Bay's primary receiving targets in 2026 after the Packers passed on wide receiver help in the draft, signaling confidence in their young WR room. GM Gutekunst avoided the position entirely despite it being a priority area just 12 months ago, betting on continued development from Reed and Golden alongside returning veteran Malik Heath.
Advice: Dynasty and best ball leagues should target Jayden Reed in the 2026 rookie class—he's now guaranteed an expanded role with no draft competition, making him a clear path to WR2/flex upside in PPR formats. Golden also becomes a middle-round target in dynasty formats given the lack of external competition for targets.
6
NO
Saints38d ago
Jordyn Tyson arrives in New Orleans as the Saints' first-round selection, headlining a massive wideout overhaul that included three total receiver additions over the three-day draft. The fresh influx of talent and depth signals the Saints are moving on from their previous receiving group and building around Tyson's upside as a centerpiece target.
Advice: Tyson enters a cleaner receiving hierarchy with legitimate opportunity for substantial volume in 2026; prioritize him in rookie-heavy best ball formats and early PPR drafts. Dynasty leagues should target Tyson early in startup/re-draft formats given his first-round capital and clear role in the Saints' offensive reset.
7
JAX
Jaguars56d ago
Travis Hunter, the Jaguars' historic two-way selection at No. 1 overall, is expected to be fully healthy and ready for training camp. The Heisman Trophy winner will have the offseason to learn both the offensive and defensive systems in Jacksonville. Head coach Liam Coen has expressed plans to deploy Hunter on both sides of the ball from Day 1.
Advice: Hunter's stock is soaring for dynasty rookie drafts—he's a locked-in 1.01 with league-winning ceiling as a potential WR1 who also generates IDP points. In redraft and best ball, his ADP should rise into the second round with this positive health news.
8
KC
Chiefs58d ago
Jordyn Tyson lands in Kansas City in Peter Schrager's latest mock draft, giving Patrick Mahomes the downfield weapon he's lacked since the Tyreek Hill trade. The Arizona State product posted 1,100+ yards and 10 TDs in his final college season, projecting as an immediate impact starter opposite Xavier Worthy in Andy Reid's offense.
Advice: If this landing spot materializes, Tyson becomes a top-5 dynasty rookie pick and a massive redraft riser. The Mahomes connection plus a clear path to targets makes him a locked-in WR2 with weekly upside in best ball builds.
9
KC
Chiefs62d ago
Rashee Rice has been cleared by the NFL following its investigation into abuse allegations, with the league finding no personal conduct policy violation. The Chiefs' WR1 avoids any suspension, eliminating the final obstacle to his 2025 availability after recovering from his torn ACL suffered in Week 4. Rice was on pace for elite production before the injury, averaging 95 receiving yards per game through his first four contests.
Advice: This is a massive dynasty and redraft value spike—Rice was being drafted with suspension risk baked in and now becomes a locked-in WR1 with Patrick Mahomes. Aggressively target him in best ball drafts and dynasty startup leagues where his ADP should climb significantly.
10
DEN
Broncos63d ago
Jaylen Waddle is already getting up to speed with the Broncos following a blockbuster trade from Miami. The speedster gives Bo Nix the legitimate deep threat Denver's offense has desperately needed, instantly transforming the passing attack. Waddle reunites with former Alabama teammate Pat Surtain II, now on the opposite side of the ball.
Advice: Waddle's ADP should climb significantly in redraft and best ball formats. This is a massive upgrade at quarterback situation—Nix's aggression downfield and Denver's improved offensive line make Waddle a locked-in WR1 with elite upside.

Players worth picking up based on recent opportunity

PIT
Steelers22h ago
Darnell Washington and the Steelers agreed to a four-year extension worth $42 million, securing the tight end through the prime years of his career. The deal signals Pittsburgh's commitment to Washington as a centerpiece of the offense and removes any uncertainty about his long-term status with the team.
Advice: Washington's extension cements his role as Pittsburgh's primary tight end target in 2026 and beyond. Dynasty and keeper league owners should confidently roster him as a mid-tier TE1 going into next season; his ADP should rise given front-office confidence and QB development under center.
2
MIA
Dolphins2d ago
De'Von Achane secured a contract extension with Miami, cementing his role as the lead back in the Dolphins offense. The deal removes uncertainty around his long-term status and signals the team's commitment to featuring him prominently in their running game scheme. Achane enters his third NFL season as the clear focal point of Miami's ground attack.
Advice: Lock in Achane as a premium RB in 2026 dynasty and redraft leagues; his extension validates top-20 ADP placement and reduces injury/departure risk that plagued early-career uncertainty. Target him aggressively in best ball and dynasty drafts this offseason.
3
GB
Packers21d ago
Green Bay's 2026 schedule opens with winnable divisional matchups and mid-tier AFC opponents through Week 8, providing Jordan Love and the offense a runway to build chemistry. The back half features brutal stretches against NFC North rivals and playoff-contending teams, but the front-loaded easier path could maximize Love's early-season production.
Advice: Love's ADP should benefit from the soft opening schedule; in dynasty and best ball drafts, consider him an earlier selection than normal given the 2026 schedule setup. Correlate with his receiving weapons' draft capital—supportive schedule flow for the entire Packers offense in 2026.
4
CLE
Browns34d ago
The 2026 draft class is loaded with potential Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year candidates across multiple positions. Top offensive prospects include high-end QB, RB, and WR prospects expected to land in premium situations, while defensive standouts at pass rush, secondary, and interior line figure to make immediate impacts. Landing spot and early playing time will be critical for these rookies to accumulate the volume and opportunities needed for ROTY consideration.
Advice: In dynasty and rookie-focused fantasy drafts, prioritize prospects landing in high-volume offensive systems with Week 1 starter roles—QBs and RBs in particular carry the highest ROTY upside and floor. Identify which teams have offensive vacancies filled by top-10 picks to target those rookies early in dynasty draft strategy.

SteelersSleeper35d ago
Roman Wilson is the most dropped player on Sleeper with 10,197 drops in the last 24 hours, signaling widespread fantasy manager pessimism heading into the 2026 draft season. The Steelers WR remains healthy but has failed to establish himself as a consistent fantasy asset. Wilson's rookie campaign disappointment and lack of immediate opportunity at a crowded position continue to weigh on dynasty and redraft interest.
Advice: Avoid **Roman Wilson** in 2026 redrafts entirely—his ADP will crater further as leagues digest the full offseason picture. In dynasty leagues, only stash in deep benches if trading away at pennies on the dollar now; the opportunity cost isn't worth the upside uncertainty.

CAR
PanthersSleeper35d ago
John Metchie is the most-dropped player on Sleeper with 10,619 drops in 24 hours despite being listed as active. The Carolina wideout has been overshadowed by the team's offensive uncertainty and the crowded receiver room entering the 2026 offseason. Managers are clearly pivoting away from Metchie as the draft approaches.
Advice: Avoid Metchie in 2026 drafts unless he lands in a clear-cut role elsewhere; his ADP will tank further and there are better depth WR options available. In dynasty leagues, consider selling any remaining shares now before his value craters completely.

PanthersSleeper36d ago
John Metchie is hemorrhaging from fantasy rosters with 11,865 Sleeper drops in the last day, the most-dropped player on the platform. The Carolina WR remains active but the market has spoken—managers are moving on before draft season. With Bryce Young's development uncertain and Carolina's WR room competitive, Metchie's upside window is closing fast.
Advice: Avoid in 2026 drafts; his ADP will crater further. Dynasty managers should sell any remaining shares now before his value completely evaporates.

John Metchie is the most-dropped player on Sleeper over the last 24 hours with 12,607 managers cutting ties. The Carolina WR remains active but has failed to establish consistent fantasy relevance. With the draft class incoming and Carolina's offensive situation in flux, fantasy managers are voting with their feet.
Advice: Avoid Metchie in 2026 drafts unless he lands in a high-volume situation during training camp; his Carolina tenure has produced minimal floor/ceiling. Standard and PPR leagues should look elsewhere at receiver depth.

Bo Nix had a second procedure on his surgically repaired right ankle last week, with his participation in Denver's offseason program—beginning Monday—potentially limited. The Broncos' second-year QB is dealing with complications from the ankle injury that sidelined him late in 2025. Timeline for full clearance remains unclear as the team heads into the offseason.
Advice: Nix's 2026 draft stock should take a hit in superflex/2QB leagues until medical clearance is confirmed; monitor his participation in spring/summer workouts before locking in early-round quarterback selections in dynasty leagues.

With the draft class incoming and Carolina's offensive situation in flux, fantasy managers are voting with their feet.
Advice: Avoid Metchie in 2026 drafts unless he lands in a high-volume situation during training camp; his Carolina tenure has produced minimal floor/ceiling. Standard and PPR leagues should look elsewhere at receiver depth.

CAR
PanthersSleeper37d ago
John Metchie is hemorrhaging ownership with the most drops in the last 24 hours on Sleeper despite being active. The Carolina WR continues to struggle for consistent opportunities in the NFL after limited production last season. Managers are clearly positioning for draft season by cutting loose speculative holdings on the depth chart.
Advice: Avoid Metchie entirely in 2026 draft prep unless he lands elsewhere and gets guaranteed snaps; too much opportunity cost with stronger WR options available in every draft format.

CAR
PanthersSleeper55d ago
John Metchie is hemorrhaging roster spots, leading all players with 1,715 drops in the last 24 hours on Sleeper. The former second-round pick now finds himself buried on Carolina's depth chart behind Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen, and rookie Xavier Legette. Metchie has yet to carve out a meaningful NFL role after battling leukemia delayed his career.
Advice: The dynasty window is closing fast on Metchie. He's a cut in shallow dynasty leagues, though deeper rosters can hold as a dart throw given his draft pedigree and the Panthers' aging receiver room.
8
CAR
PanthersSleeper56d ago
John Metchie is hemorrhaging fantasy roster spots, leading Sleeper's drop list with 1,442 managers cutting bait in the past 24 hours. The former Texans receiver now faces a brutal depth chart in Carolina behind Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen, and Xavier Legette, with Bryce Young's inconsistent quarterback play further limiting upside.
Advice: The drops are justified—Metchie profiles as a WR5 at best in this offense with minimal path to targets. Safe to cut in redraft and shallow dynasty leagues; only the deepest rosters should hold.
9
LV
Raiders57d ago
Kirk Cousins publicly conceded that Las Vegas should play whichever quarterback gives them the best chance to win, even if that means he rides the bench. The Raiders are expected to draft Fernando Mendoza and Cousins appears to be mentally preparing for a potential backup role after his disastrous 2024 campaign in Atlanta.
Advice: Cousins has minimal fantasy value heading into 2025 and should be avoided in all redraft formats. Dynasty managers should cut bait entirely—his starting days appear numbered.
10
ATL
Falcons57d ago
Kaleb McGary, Atlanta's starting right tackle since 2019, is retiring from the NFL, his agent announced Wednesday. The 28-year-old was a first-round pick who started 77 games over six seasons but dealt with knee and heart issues throughout his career. The Falcons now have a significant hole on their offensive line heading into the 2025 season.
Advice: This creates real concern for Bijan Robinson's rushing efficiency and any Falcons QB's protection. Downgrade Atlanta's backfield slightly in best ball drafts until the team addresses the vacancy, likely through the draft or free agency.
11
NYJ
JetsSleeper57d ago
Isaiah Davis is hemorrhaging roster spots, leading all Sleeper drops over the past 24 hours with 1,305 managers cutting ties. The second-year Jets back remains firmly entrenched behind Breece Hall with no path to relevant touches materializing this offseason.
Advice: Davis is a cut in redraft and shallow dynasty leagues. Only hold in deep dynasty formats if you have the bench space to wait for a potential Breece Hall injury or 2026 free agency shakeup.
12
CAR
PanthersSleeper58d ago
John Metchie topped Sleeper's drop list with 1,645 managers cutting him over the past 24 hours. The former second-round pick never established a consistent role in Carolina's offense and now faces a genuine battle just to make the 53-man roster with the draft approaching.
Advice: If you're still holding Metchie in dynasty leagues, now is the time to cut bait. Use that roster spot on incoming rookie receivers or undrafted camp fliers with clearer paths to targets.
13
CAR
PanthersSleeper59d ago
John Metchie has been dropped by over 1,600 fantasy managers in the past 24 hours, leading all players in cut rate. The former Texans second-round pick has struggled to establish himself in Carolina's receiver room, and continued draft investment at the position has further clouded his path to relevance.
Advice: Metchie is a clear cut in dynasty leagues with shallow rosters. Even in deeper formats, his lack of role security and Carolina's receiver additions make him a roster clog rather than a lottery ticket worth holding through rookie drafts.
14
SF
49ers59d ago
Christian McCaffrey is expected to see a lighter workload in 2025 as San Francisco prioritizes durability after his injury-derailed 2024 campaign. Jordan Mason, who topped 1,000 rushing yards as the fill-in starter, will absorb a larger share of carries in a more balanced backfield approach.
Advice: McCaffrey's ADP should fall from the 1.01 conversation into the mid-first round in redraft—the elite ceiling remains but volume concerns are real. Mason becomes a compelling value in best ball formats and should be drafted as a high-end RB3 with weekly flex upside in dynasty.
15
NO
Saints59d ago
Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne Jr. will share the Saints backfield in 2025, with New Orleans expressing confidence both can thrive. Kamara enters a contract year while Etienne arrives after back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing campaigns in Jacksonville. The team believes their system can support two high-volume backs, though fantasy managers should expect diminished per-game ceilings for both.
Advice: Both backs become riskier investments at current ADPs. In best ball and dynasty, treat each as low-end RB2s rather than the RB1 upside they carried as lead backs—neither projects for the 250+ touch workloads that drive elite fantasy seasons.
16
LAR
Rams63d ago
Puka Nacua has checked into a rehabilitation facility for an extended stay to address personal matters. The Rams have not provided a timeline for his return, casting doubt over Los Angeles' receiving corps heading into 2025.
Advice: Nacua's ADP should plummet until clarity emerges—avoid drafting in best ball leagues at his current price. Dynasty owners should hold but temper expectations; **Cooper Kupp** becomes a value target if Nacua's absence extends into the season.
17
LAR
Rams64d ago
Puka Nacua has checked into a rehabilitation facility while facing a lawsuit from a Los Angeles woman alleging he made an unprovoked antisemitic remark and bit her on the shoulder. The Rams star receiver's attorney confirmed the decision but offered no details on treatment duration. The situation creates significant uncertainty around one of the NFL's most productive young receivers heading into the 2025 season.
Advice: Nacua's ADP should drop significantly until clarity emerges on potential league discipline and his availability. In dynasty, hold unless you receive strong offers, but temper expectations in best ball and redraft until the legal and personal situations resolve.
