Connor Heyward News
Thursday, March 12, 3:26 PM
The Las Vegas Raiders have signed fullback Connor Heyward to a two-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The contract includes $2 million fully guaranteed. Heyward hit free agency earlier this week upon the expiration of his four-year rookie deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's scored a touchdown in three of his four pro seasons, and he posted a respectable 449 scrimmage yards during his time in the black and gold. Of course, handling the football is just a minor component of his role as a fullback. He's far more involved as a blocker, creating opportunities for the quarterback or running backs. He'll now take his talents to Las Vegas, where he'll be tasked with blocking for a young offense that features Ashton Jeanty and will also likely include projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

Emanuel Wilson News
Tuesday, April 28, 8:19 AM
After spending the first three seasons of his career with the Green Bay Packers, running back Emanuel Wilson landed a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks earlier this offseason. Wilson flashed some upside in a backup role behind star back Josh Jacobs in Green Bay, recording 1,145 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 254 touches over the past two seasons. With Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) working his way back from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season in January, Wilson looked to have a golden opportunity to begin 2026. However, Seattle added Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price with its first-round pick in the 2026 Draft. As a result, Wilson now looks to be limited to the RB3 role with the Seahawks once Charbonnet makes it back from injury. Wilson might still have some deep-league appeal as a handcuff option, but his dynasty value has taken a big hit after Seattle's addition of Price.
