Baker Mayfield News
Tuesday, September 1, 7:37 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said there are no immediate plans to restart contract talks with quarterback Baker Mayfield, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Mayfield set the start of training camp as his deadline for negotiations, and nothing came together before then. He is now heading into the last year of the three-year, $100 million deal he signed with Tampa Bay in 2024. Mayfield started all 17 games last season, throwing for 3,693 yards with 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He also ran for 382 yards and another score. There isn't much here that changes his 2026 fantasy outlook. Mayfield is Tampa Bay's unquestioned starter, and the contract situation is more of a concern for what happens after the season. For now, the Bucs appear content to play things out before deciding what comes next.

Jerry Jeudy News
Wednesday, August 26, 12:02 PM
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has started to regain some redraft appeal with Deshaun Watson now locked in as the Week 1 starter. Jeudy's 2025 season was ugly despite heavy volume, as he caught just 50 of 106 targets for 602 yards and two touchdowns after posting 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four scores the year before. The late-camp connection with Watson has been more encouraging. Watson found Jeudy for a solid gain during Monday's first practice as the starter, then connected with him four times Tuesday, including a deep completion over the middle during 11-on-11 work. Jeudy still has plenty of competition. Cleveland spent the 24th overall pick on KC Concepcion and the 39th pick on Denzel Boston, with Boston continuing to make plays alongside Jeudy in first-team work. Still, Jeudy remains listed as a starter and has stayed involved as Watson has taken control of the offense. RotoBaller now ranks him WR67 in half-PPR after listing him WR79 earlier this month. That movement fits the current trend, with Jeudy looking more interesting as a late-round depth receiver than he did a few weeks ago.
