Denver waived defensive tackle Michael Dwumfour a week after signing him, trimming another interior DL option as they pare down to their roster. Dwumfour’s journeyman path included stints with the Jets, Texans, 49ers, Titans, and Browns, with limited action last season in Cleveland. He appeared in the final preseason game for Denver vs. New Orleans but couldn’t secure a long-term spot. This move underscores Denver’s churn at defensive-line depth and signals potential practice-squad considerations, while fantasy impact appears muted unless injuries recalibrate the rotation.

Chiefs lock in interior run defense by bringing Derrick Nnadi back from the Jets, addressing a depth issue after his free-agent exit. The move signals KC’s commitment to stabilizing the middle while planning for 2026 upgrades through the draft or further signings.

Zxavian Harris, Ole Miss, stands 6'8" and around 330 lbs, with length, strong punch, and a developing pass-rush plan. His club-swim repertoire and early speed offer high ceiling, but leverage, pad level, and short-area quickness will dictate draft value and NFL fit by 2026.

Context on the Bills’ Deone Walker reference provides a ceiling-compare framework for Harris. The overall takeaway: KC must invest in interior depth to sustain pressure as front-line players mature, and 2026 talent acquisition will be pivotal for a unit tasked with deterring committed double-teams and sustaining front-seven disruption.

The NFL cut-down clock ticks toward Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, with nine veterans flagged as possible roster casualties and several others whose spots look perilous after summer auditions. fantasy players should watch not only where these vets land, but also how teams reshuffle depth charts and special teams units as Week 1 rosters take shape.

Kyle Duggar headlines the potential ripple effects in New England after a nine-INT, high-tackle run, followed by David Ojabo in Baltimore, Malachi Corley in New York, Beanie Bishop in Pittsburgh, Kiran Amegadjie in Chicago, Hendon Hooker in Detroit, Clyde Edwards-Helaire in New Orleans, Jeff Wilson Jr. in San Francisco, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in Seattle. Each situation could alter waiver play, role definitions, and late-season fantasy upside.

As teams save cap space or unlock roster flexibility, the ripple effects could open up unexpected value for sleepers and provide new paths to upside for veterans who land elsewhere. Stay alert to practice-squad moves, trades, and surprise elevations that could reshape fantasy rosters before Week 1.

Washington locked in Terry McLaurin with a 3-year, 96 million extension (32M AAV), signaling stability for a WR1 who has been Washington’s consistent standout as quarterback turnover challenged others. His new deal lands him among the NFL’s top-paid receivers and comes on the heels of market-defining extensions for Metcalf and Wilson, which nudged his price higher. Last season McLaurin posted 82 catches, 1,096 yards and 13 TDs, accounting for a commanding share of Washington’s scoring through a prolific receiving year.

The extension cements Washington’s offense around McLaurin and a rising playmaking nucleus, as the team enters 2025 with optimism and a tighter salary framework at the position. With 44.8% of Washington’s receiving TDs last year coming from him, he’s not just a top target—he’s the engine of the passing game during a period of QB transition. The Commanders sit among teams with strong Super Bowl odds as expectations soar for 2025.

Carolina Panthers free-agent plan leans on the waiver wire and cut-downs to address depth gaps at safety, corner, and quarterback, prioritizing low-cost, high-upside fits over marquee names.

Lewis Cine, Mike Hilton, Tyler Huntley, Jack Plummer, Jamin Davis, Morgan Fox and Bryce Perkins headline the pool—with Cine offering safety depth, Hilton veteran CB presence, Huntley and Plummer QB competition, Davis LB depth, Fox rotational DL help, and Perkins as a lottery-ticket quarterback upside.

Evero’s emphasize rotation and versatility guides these additions: cost-conscious, scheme-fit players who can contribute in 2025 and beyond rather than long-term placeholders.
