Published Davante Adams, Saquon Barkley is paid

Kendall Valenzuela goes through the most urgent NFL messages with fantasy football implications.

The NFL Scouting Combine is only in the rear view mirror, and now the NFL-free agency is waving. In some places it would be the calm before the storm. Not in NFL circles. There is always news and with these messages there are many effects on fantasy football. Let us go through some of the biggest headlines and break down as you affect our great game.

Jets release Davante Adams

Davante Adams Is now a free agent after the jets released him on Tuesday afternoon. The team also allows All Lazard To look for a trade, but let's be honest that we don't have too much work for Fantasy football (Sorry Lazard, they are not us).

Adam's jets are a big surprise for nobody -he would count 38.3 million US dollars against the salary limit and now New York will vacate 29.9 million dollars. Let's talk about the best fantasy landing sites for Davante Adams. I was on Adams last summer during the designs, but I got nervous when he was dealt with with the jets. Overall, Adams had a strong finish in the season and landed in these 11 games with 67 catches, 854 yards and 7 touchdowns. Sure, his friend Aaron Rodgers aimed 112 times what the third highest was in the NFL, but it feels like Adams could still have some juice left.

I like the idea from the wide receiver needs teams that he was with the Green Bay Packers. Christian Watson'S unfortunate injury in the late season leaves a hole in a recipient corps that seemed to be a real investment. Adams could be a cheap option – no group of broad recipients had more overall waste than the packers (25), so The Ian Hartitz team needs articles.

Another solid fantasy landing site could be the Los Angeles Chargers, who really has to concentrate on getting solid weapons for Justin Herbert. Ladd McConkey Had an outstanding rookie season with 112 targets, 82 receptions, 1,149 yards and 7 touchdowns. While adding another solid recipient like Adams could violate his outlook from 2025, this could also open McConkey. Let's just hope that he doesn't follow his girlfriend …

Fields about Wilson

According to the NFL network insider Ian RapoportIt looks like the Steelers are in the direction Justin Fields When her quarterback for 2025 and further developed by Russell Wilson. The Steelers started the season 4: 2 with fields in the center and he actually had a solid performance before Wilson was appointed a starter for the rest of the season. Fields produced his highest career -Passer evaluation (93.3) and blocked 18.9 fantasy points per game in 2024.

Things then turned south for the Steelers. Not only lost their last four games of the regular season, we also cannot forget their cruel wildcard exit against the Ravens. During this range, they only scored 14.2 points per game. It would not be the worst idea to change back to Fields, who is only 26 years old and tries to maximize his potential.

However, there were also reports that he had a “really good market” in the free agency.

If the Steelers do not complete a deal with fields, the New York Jets also seem to be a logical landing site. Fields already have a connection with Garrett Wilson Of their days in Ohio State and Wilson, it could now be much happier, now that Rodgers will be from the picture. PFF Projects Fields' contract for a year of $ 11 million, and if you give him proof, you will also be able to write a prospective quarterback.

While he has more than passer -by, we know what he is getting into imagination with his ascent and that will always keep him on our radar. At the moment he is moved in as QB24, but depending on how this freelance agency is distributing, we could see how he jumped up Draft boards.

The rich become richer – congratulations Saquon Barkley

Can we only take a moment to appreciate it? Saquon Barkley? He not only went to the Philadelphia Eagles and had the time of his life, he also had the best season of his career. Barkley ended in 2024 with 2.005 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns and also added 278 reception sheets and 2 reception touchdowns. And now he was paid.

After a historical season, the Eagles Barkley give a two-year contract extension of $ 41.2 million, which is guaranteed when signing $ 36 million, which makes it the best paid return in NFL history!

We know that Philadelphia is probably already plans for A Saquon Barkley Statue – Can we talk about his off -season? He hurried for 499 yards and 5 touchdowns, which was the third most common yards in a single NFL that was the third. The Eagles 'rushing record never had a chance against Barkley, and during this after season run he also broke Terrell Davis' record by Terrell Davis for most combined rushing yards (2.504 yards). This step now holds Barkley with Philadelphia during the 2028 season.

He currently assumes the second overall selection for outsiders of Draft Boards, but I can imagine Yes'marr Chase As a top fantasy pick.
