Updating a previous report, free-agent Cooper Kupp (Rams) signed a three-year contract worth a reported $45 million on Tuesday, March 18.
Huddle Up: Kupp's pairing with Jaxon Smith-Njigba is an interesting one since both players have operated out of the slot as often as they have, but neither player is a slot-only receiver either. Expect both players to be used interchangeably in that regard, at least for as long as Kupp - who has struggled with injuries in recent years - can stay on the field. Kupp should be able to return fantasy WR3 value when he is on the field in 2025.

Updating a previous report, free-agent WR Cooper Kupp (Rams) is expected to sign with the Seattle Seahawks, according to The Insiders. Kupp is expected to make $15 million per year, perhaps more.
Huddle Up: Kupp is from the state of Washington, and he played his college football at Eastern Washington. He will get an opportunity to face the Los Angeles Rams twice per season, too, showing the team what it lost when they chose Davante Adams over him. As long as he can stay healthy, and that's a big if, he still has at least a couple more seasons as a productive slot receiver and fantasy option while working with new QB Sam Darnold.

Free-agent WR Cooper Kupp (Rams) is reportedly seeking as much as $15 million per season with his next contract, according to sources.
Huddle Up: The Seattle Seahawks, New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys are reportedly the four teams most interested in securing his services. The Seahawks may have the biggest need for him and would meet his preference of staying on the West Coast. The Saints would benefit greatly from a slot receiver like Kupp, who would complement the speedy duo of Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed well. The Broncos need him less than the others, although Kupp could fit nicely alongside Courtland Sutton and Evan Engram. The Cowboys probably wouldn't mind having a strong second receiver to take some defensive attention off CeeDee Lamb. Kupp will likely be a fantasy WR3 option if he lands in any of these spots.

Free-agent WR Cooper Kupp (Rams) is reportedly of interest to the New England Patriots, according to a source.
Huddle Up: The Patriots owe it to Drake Maye to get him as many weapons as possible, although it could be argued the one legit threat they already have at receiver is primarily a slot guy in Demario Douglas. With that said, Kupp is not restricted to being a slot and would give Maye a dependable option on the outside to pair alongside a likely Day 1 or Day 2 wideout in April's draft. Kupp would likely fall into the fantasy WR3 range if he ends up with New England.

Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp has been informed that he will be released Wednesday, March 12, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Kupp should receive interest from multiple teams and probably will be a starter for his new team in 2025. He can be a No. 3 receiver in most leagues if he can stay healthy.

Impending free-agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Saints) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday, March 12, worth as much as $5.5 million, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Valdes-Scantling could have a nice role in the Seahawks passing game next season since DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett will no longer be on the team. He posted 411 yards and four touchdowns this past season and could be a late round pick in fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp likely will be released once the new league year starts unless the Rams are able to find a trade partner for Kupp over the next few days, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Kupp hits the free-agent market later this week. He can still be a reliable option for fantasy players if he joins another team and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Free-agent QB Sam Darnold (Vikings) agreed to a three-year deal worth $100.5 million, according to sources Monday, March 10. The deal includes $55 million guaranteed.
Huddle Up: Darnold is coming off the best season of his career and will be the replacement for Geno Smith. The departure of DK Metcalf means one less wide receiver to work with, but this should provide a stable floor for Jaxon Smith-Njigba. As for Darnold's fantasy prospects, it will be difficult to follow up his QB8 finish in Seattle. He's best viewed as a QB2 option moving forward.

The Minnesota Vikings are exploring alternate options for acquiring a veteran quarterback, since it now appears unlikely that QB Sam Darnold will return to the club for the 2025 season, according to multiple sources. One such possibility is re-signing impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones, who is also receiving interest from other NFL teams.
Huddle Up: The Vikings are likely to give QB J.J. McCarthy every opportunity to win the team's starting quarterback job, after he missed his entire rookie season due to a torn meniscus in his right knee. As a result, any veteran quarterback that Minnesota brings in this offseason would probably be considered an underdog if there is a battle for the job during training camp.

Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp has a chance to remain with the team, but it is much more likely that the team trades him this offseason, according general manager Les Snead.
Huddle Up: The Rams have not been able to find a trade partner at this point, but it seems likely that Kupp will be wearing a new uniform next season. He is one of the better receivers in the NFL when healthy and can be a starting option in most fantasy leagues.

Updating previous reports, Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold has reportedly been in discussions with the team about agreeing to a short-term contract before the start of free agency, according to sources. Per those sources, there is mutual interest to "keep this relationship going."
Huddle Up: This is not exactly new information, as the word out in Minnesota for some time has been about the Vikings hoping to keep Darnold around. The reason this report is newsworthy is because it reinforces the notion that both sides are actively trying to get something done before the start of free agency. The incentive for Minnesota is to keep a capable starting quarterback around and the incentive for Darnold is to continue playing with one of the best supporting casts in the league.

Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp could be released entirely if the team fails to find a trade partner for him this offseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Saturday, March 1.
Huddle Up: Kupp has been on the trade block since the start of the offseason, but the Rams need to find a team willing to pay his $20 million salary-cap hit for the 2025 season. Kupp dealt with injuries last season while averaging a modest 11.8 fantasy points per game. However, he finished the regular season with fewer than four fantasy points in four of his final five games. He's best viewed as a high-end WR3 at this stage of his career.

Updating previous reports, Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold is unlikely to receive the franchise tag, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on SportsCenter. "I'm told that the Minnesota Vikings are open to doing a deal with Sam Darnold," Fowler said. "People I've talked to around the league believe that the franchise tag is not the likeliest path that Minnesota would take. That's a high number of around $40 million. So, Minnesota's stance seems to be that they're not going to mortgage the future for Sam Darnold,"
Huddle Up: Darnold was the QB7 in fantasy last season, and if he remains in Minnesota, he could remain a low-end QB1 option. If he goes to a QB-needy team without a lot around him, his value will drop.

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III is going to be used in a variety of ways, according to offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. "Obviously, whatever we can do to get him touches," Kubiak said. "We're going to ask a lot out of him."
Huddle Up: Walker missed a few games with injuries last year, but he still managed a career-high 46 receptions. It sounds like he could handle an even larger role in the passing game under Kubiak, and if Walker can stay healthy, he should be a solid RB2.

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold could be a candidate for the franchise tag if the two sides are not able to work out an agreement before the tag deadline, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Huddle Up: The Vikings will have a decision to make since Darnold had a breakout season in 2024, but they also have J.J. McCarthy coming back from injury. Darnold likely will be the starter for a team next season but probably will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback no matter where he signs.

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold could be a target for the Las Vegas Raiders during free agency, in the opinion of ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Huddle Up: Darnold is coming off the best season of his career and should receive interest from multiple teams if the Vikings do not place the franchise tag on him. The Raider do not have a clear answer at quarterback at this time, and Darnold could be their long-term starter if they can reach an agreement. He probably will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he plays for the Raiders.

Minnesota Viking impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold has "earned the right to be a free agent," although head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters recently that the team will "continue to have ongoing dialogue and discussions" with him.
Huddle Up: At this point, it appears the Vikings are comfortable with allowing Darnold to test the market and prepping 2024 rookie J.J. McCarthy to be the starter. Darnold is going to have a market in free agency with so many quarterback-needy teams and the draft class not particularly deep at the position. The Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders appear to be among the favorites for his services.

Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp said he has been informed by the team that they will look to trade him this offseason.
Huddle Up: Kupp has played in 12 games or less in each of the last three seasons but did finish this season with 710 yards and six touchdowns. He likely will have several teams interested in him and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in most leagues depending on his new situation.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold ranked second in the NFL with 1,474 yards on play action passes during the 2024 season.
