The Saints worked out Brenden Rice, USC standout and Jerry Rice’s son, to add size to their wideout corps. Rice, who posted 791 yards and 12 TD in 2023, has yet to record an NFL stat and stands 6-3 with a 4.50-ish clock. His workout comes as New Orleans added Devaughn Vele and scouts more free-agent options behind Chris Olave.

Philadelphia also hosted Rice, underscoring league interest in a big outside target. With Olave as the top option and Vele returning from injury, Rice would be a developmental depth piece who could carve a red-zone/contested-catch role if he lands with the Saints, offering dynasty/Fantasy upside on a best-case path.

Denver's week centered on Marvin Mims Jr.'s groin scare and bounce-back readiness, a sign he’ll shoulder more of the offense after Devaughn Vele’s Saints trade. Mims flashed six TDs last season and led punt returns, while Denver locked up Sutton and Allen, and kept Bonitto’s extension in play as the team rebuilds around a young, hungry core. A broader NFL backdrop included Parsons’ looming deal and a quiet, calculated front-office approach from Payton and Paton.

With 69 players (70 including an international player) practicing, the Broncos are building depth for a turnaround season. The moves emphasize speed on offense, frontline pressure, and a steady veteran presence to mentor the room as the roster evolves toward Payton’s vision.

Saints cap realities and a thin youth pipeline define 2025. Foskey was cut after two sackless seasons, Bresee is the lone 2023 draftee with a real role, and Miller flashed in the preseason though durability is a concern. Shough hasn’t seized the starting job, and a Devaughn Vele trade signals short-term moves. With 2026 cap trouble looming and the 2025 draft thin, New Orleans faces a long rebuild, with Olave as a rare bright spot guiding fantasy expectations.

Fantasy angles pivot on Bresee’s development, Miller’s durability, and any breakthrough from the Saints’ developing talent. If the club pursues a 2026 QB, stash targets around the offense and monitor cap-driven roster shifts that could create late-season value in a harsh year.
