Jauan Jennings' restructure adds $3 million in play-time incentives, lifting his ceiling to $10.5 million and tying earnings to on-field production. The move follows a breakout 2024 season (77 catches, 975 yards, six TDs) and comes as San Francisco shifts to a Jennings-led passer attack with Deebo Samuel no longer in the mix.

With Samuel gone, Jennings is positioned to carry a larger target share in 2025, potentially making him a weekly fantasy staple post-upside weeks. SF's offense remains potent, but managers should weigh target distribution, Kittle’s involvement, and the evolving weapons behind Jennings when projecting weekly results.

Rashee Rice is positioned for a strong 2025 fantasy arc, health permitting, with a potential NFL disciplinary matter looming over an opening stretch. The Chiefs expect him to suit up for Week 1 against Los Angeles, though a hearing on Sept 30 could sideline him briefly. Even with possible early absence, Rice’s on-field role remains clear when active, as Mahomes’ top target prior to injury, making him a mid-round WR2 with spike weeks. Xavier Worthy flashed late in 2024, Travis Kelce remains red-zone anchor, and Rice’s trajectory hinges on how quickly any suspension is resolved.

Adam Schefter’s tease during ESPN’s fantasy marathon hinted at a major Bills move, foreshadowing James Cook ending his hold-in and returning to Buffalo. The watchful broadcast broke as Cook stepped back onto the field, and Schefter explained he spoke to the source, aligning with Buffalo’s late-night deal talks. Cook’s four-year extension, valued at 48 million with 30 million guaranteed, crystallizes him as the Bills’ top back after back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and a league-leading 16 rushing TDs. Fantasy managers should note the commitment signals sustained usage and upside in an offense that leaned heavily on Cook in practice and at times in the red zone.
