Thanks for all the info Phicin. Must take a lot of time to keep up with this.

I know Dalvin Cook isn't what he was but he is still a good player. I'm interested to see where he ends up. In best ball I've nabbed him a number of times because he has been on the board for a long time. Feels like a 2nd 3rd round pick you can get in the 6th 7th round. Of course being unsigned at this point he is a big risk. But at some point doesn't he have value?

He isn't unsigned. He is currently under contract with Minnesota. The fear is they don't move him or release him, and he sits out. That is probably why his draft value keeps dropping

Coming at you
LVR - rumors flying the Raiders may deal Davante Adams post June 1 since he isn't happy with the offensive changes being made... **cough, cough Jimmy G vs. Derek Carr cough, cough**
Adams is a smart guy. He knows his numbers are going to drop with Jimmy. The big plays down the sidelines are totally gone and the deep plays down the seam are going to be few. Get out now Davonte.
SF - buzz coming from 49ers camp about Trey Lance - he has totally revamped his throwing motion for better speed and accuracy per reports
Kind of excited to see what Lance does this camp. His throwing motion was a bit long. Kid has taken a lot of crap, but as I have said before, if the 49ers drafted a 20 year old QB from a division 2 school who sat out the Covid season, and expected him to step right in and contribute, then that's on them. Just turned 23. He needs to play. However, with Purdy playing like he did last season, he may not get a chance. Good problem to have in SF, but IMO, assuming Lance plays well in camp and preseason, they should give him the first 4 games of the season. Easy to do without alienating Purdy since they can say Purdy isn't 100 percent yet. If Lance shines, he either keeps the job or his trade value increases dramatically. If he stinks, then nothing lost and he's the backup. Their team is good enough to win even if he plays below average. Starting the season 2-2 is not a global killer and they know better what they have in Lance.

Only 2 flexes allowed all season, must be done with 28 days notice, and a team can not play 2 AWAY games on TNF in a season

SEA - is re-signing DB Artie Burns
SF - was awarded Super Bowl LX
LAC - Austin Ekeler is still available for trade, but no takers so far, and team insists he will be around for mandatory mini-camp
GB - will be hosting the 2025 NFL Draft
NFL - as stated above TNF flexing was approved for ONE year - 24-8 - 2 teams Saints and Commanders made late switch, it will take 24 votes again next year to keep this - and some have questions if it will happen
BUF - has re-signed S Dean Marlowe
GB - waived K Parker White - to make room to sign RB Emanuel Wilson
BAL - waived LB Daelin Hayes
ATL - placed WR Jared Bernhardt on reserved/retired list
BAL - WR Rashod Bateman is doing on-field work showing return from foot injury last year
NFL - vote on the fair catch rule change has been delayed - competition committee expected the rule change to pass - that being any fair catch during a kick off at or inside the 25 would place the ball at the 25 to match NCAA rules. However, almost all ST Coordinators voted against this in their meeting. Vote to be held later.
HOU - waived UDFA S Darius Joiner to make room to sign FA LB Jacob Martin
NFL - has brought back the 3rd QB emergency rule - teams can have a 3rd QB dressed and on sideline but he won't cost against the 53 man roster for games. Caveat - if 3rd QB comes in before the 4th Qtr, then the other 2 QBs cannot return to play.

LAC - per PFT Chargers and Ekeler have come to a new agreement and added incentives to his contract so Ekeler will play this year on the last year of his current contract

He moves ahead of CMC as the top RB in redraft IMO. CMC gets his touches severely limited when Mitchell is on the field. If Mitchell miraculously plays a full season, bad news for CMC owners.

I still like CMC better than Ekeler. Been taking Bijan over Ekeler too but with this news might switch that. Nevertheless my main league is 2 rbs, 3 wrs, te and a flex so I do feel like Chase and Jefferson are both a little safer, seeing that there are some pretty good backs falling to second round in the mocks I've done and top tier receivers are going quick.
