Brycen Tremayne a Sneaky FLEX Option if Coker is Inactive in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 8:52 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Brycen Tremayne could see a larger role in Week 4 due to injuries at wide receiver. Tremayne is coming off a career game in Week 3, hauling in four of six targets for 83 yards in the 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. With Jalen Coker (quad) exiting early and Xavier Legette (knee) inactive, Tremayne played 79% of snaps and ran 77% of routes in Week 3. With Legette already ruled out and Coker questionable for Sunday night's game against the Detroit Lions, Tremayne could see a workload similar to last week. The Lions' secondary has struggled as well, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While his value likely hinges on whether Coker is active, if he is ruled out, Tremayne could be a sneaky FLEX option against a weaker Lions' secondary.

Rams Tender Contracts to Harrison Mevis, Xavier Smith

Monday, March 2, 5:18 PM

The Los Angeles Rams announced on Monday that they tendered exclusive-rights free-agent kicker Harrison Mevis and wide receiver Xavier Smith. Neither Mevis nor Smith will be allowed to negotiate with other teams this offseason. Mevis, 23, made his NFL debut last year and was impressive, making 12 of his 13 field-goal attempts (made his lone try from 50-plus yards) and all 39 of his extra-point tries in nine regular-season games. He finished the year ranked as the No. 8 fantasy kicker in terms of fantasy points per game at 8.3. In the playoffs, Mevis was a perfect 15-for-15 on field goals (six) and extra-point tries. The former undrafted kicker out of Missouri should enter the 2026 season as the favorite to be L.A.'s starting kicker, which will make him pretty attractive in fantasy football in one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.
