According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Minnesota Vikings are officially expected to release RB Dalvin Cook on Friday, barring any last minute trade offers.

Fantasy Impact

Cook, at the age of 27, is set to be a free agent not too long after signing his extension with Minnesota. While his yards per touch were at a career low of 4.8 in 2022, Cook also had his third-highest total of scrimmage yards in his six-year career, showing that he can still operate on volume, finishing as a fantasy RB1 in 2022. Cook will have the opportunity to sign wherever he wants, and the smoke is around Miami with Cook being from Florida. In Minnesota, though, RB Alexander Mattison gets an immediate boost in fantasy value.

Broncos’ head coach Sean Payton stated Jerry Jeudy has "extremely loose hips" and is "very explosive."

Fantasy Impact

Jeudy tallied 972 yards and six touchdowns on 67 receptions in a difficult year for the Broncos’ offense. With Sean Payton taking over in 2023, Jeudy should have a chance to put up his best season if he can stay healthy. The 24-year-old ranks as the WR22 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.

According to Jeff Risdon of The Lions Wire, Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams had a standout day at minicamp on Wednesday. Risdon said Williams looked like the best player on the field, staying in sync with the QBs.

Fantasy Impact

Williams did not have the rookie season that was expected, only playing in six games and catching one pass on nine targets. However, his one catch was a 41-yard touchdown that showed what he is capable of doing. Williams is an excellent downfield route runner with game-changing speed and can add a wrinkle to Detroit's offense that was absent in 2022. However, Lions fans will need to wait until Williams’ six-game suspension is completed before they can see if Williams can begin his anticipated ascension.
