The Dallas Cowboys continue their strategy to enhance their roster by signing defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey, fresh off an impressive All-UFL season with the Birmingham Stallions.

Winfrey, noted for his collegiate success at Oklahoma, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft but faced a challenging rookie season that ended with him being waived. His brief tenure with the New York Jets in 2023 saw him primarily on injured reserve or the practice squad. After proving his capabilities in the UFL, he earned all-league honors and is now set to contribute to the Cowboys' defensive line.

With the Kansas City Chiefs surging ahead in the AFC West, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to shine, showcasing his elite skills in every game. His connection with tight end Travis Kelce remains a key factor in their offensive strategy, providing a reliable target in crucial moments. Meanwhile, the defense, anchored by Chris Jones, is stepping up, creating a formidable unit that can disrupt opposing offenses.

As the season progresses, the dynamics within the Chiefs' roster are crucial for fantasy managers. Mahomes is not just a quarterback; he's a fantasy powerhouse with the ability to put up huge numbers. Kelce, being one of the top tight ends, consistently delivers value. Additionally, other players like Isiah Pacheco and Kadarius Toney are emerging as potential sleepers who could elevate your fantasy team, especially as they find their stride in this explosive offense.

Identifying sleeper running backs can greatly enhance your fantasy football strategy. As we look toward 2025, a few prospects stand out. Jaylen Wright, a dynamic rookie, has the potential to emerge as a game-changer, while veterans like Jordan James and Jarquez Hunter offer proven value. Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Isaiah Davis are also intriguing options, ready to capitalize on their opportunities. Selecting these players could provide that competitive edge during drafts.

Defensive end DeVere Levelston, a former standout from DeSoto, will soon audition for the Dallas Cowboys following mandatory minicamp. Previously, he played for the UFL's Memphis Showboats, where he recorded 13 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 tackles for loss. Before that, he spent time on the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad, having originally signed with them as an undrafted free agent from SMU. In his college career at SMU, he amassed impressive stats with 90 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks. Other prospects auditioning include cornerbacks Robert Rochell and Jerry Jacobs, along with offensive tackle George Fant. The Cowboys have a notable history of players transitioning from spring leagues to the NFL, with examples like KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey.

College sports are witnessing a significant shift as transferring between schools becomes increasingly common, particularly in football and men's basketball. The introduction of the transfer portal and the growing influence of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals have erased the stigma previously associated with transferring. Players like Cam Ward, the top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, exemplify this trend, having played at multiple universities before entering the pros.

Ward began at Incarnate Word, then moved to Washington State, and finally landed at Miami. Similarly, Tyler Shough transitioned from Oregon to Texas Tech, and then to Louisville. The approach of pursuing multiple schools provides players with diverse opportunities to enhance their skills and improve their draft prospects. As college athletics continue to evolve, this pathway to professional careers is becoming a prevalent strategy.
