Jaxon Smith-Njigba News
Monday, March 23, 5:48 AM
Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the Seattle Seahawks have agreed on a four-year, $168.6 million extension that will make the reigning Offensive Player of the Year the highest-paid receiver in NFL history. The deal comes days after the team exercised Smith-Njigba's fifth-year option and includes over $120 million in guaranteed money, also a record according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter. A first-round pick in 2023, Smith-Njigba led the league with 1,793 receiving yards en route to a memorable Super Bowl-winning season. He is now tied to Seattle through the 2031 season, earning the kind of money that was reserved exclusively for quarterbacks only a few short years ago.

Rashee Rice News
Thursday, April 2, 12:21 PM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was suspended for the first six games of the 2025 season due to a 2024 hit-and-run incident that resulted in him pleading guilty to two felony charges. Across eight games after returning, the 25-year-old recorded 53 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 78 targets, missing additional time due to a concussion. While Rice is expected to be healthy heading into 2026, he may be facing yet another suspension due to an unresolved domestic violence lawsuit that was filed against him. When he's on the field, Rice remains a talented pass-catcher who should be a consistent fantasy producer, particularly in PPR formats. However, Rice's legal troubles are adding up, and his consistent issues with availability make him an unreliable player for managers to roster. In dynasty formats, Rice's current value is difficult to gauge while his status with the league office remains uncertain.
