Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans impressed during Thursday's joint practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Evans won a red-zone battle against cornerback Jalen Ramsey for a two-point conversion, then capped the day by hauling in a touchdown from Baker Mayfield during a two-minute drill. After posting a "down year" in 2024 with 1,004 yards and 11 touchdowns, Evans looks determined to return to elite form in 2025. The veteran remains one of the NFL's most reliable end-zone threats, and fantasy managers should consider him a steady WR2 with WR1 upside heading into draft season.

The Cleveland Browns have released veteran wide receiver Diontae Johnson, making him one of Tuesday's notable roster cuts. Johnson, a 2021 Pro Bowler with the Steelers, was battling for a reserve role behind Cedric Tillman and Jerry Jeudy but fell short. The six-year veteran has bounced around recently, spending time with the Panthers, Ravens, and Titans last season, struggling to regain his early-career form. Still, Johnson's polished route running and proven production give him a chance to latch on elsewhere. As teams finalize their rosters before Week 1, the 289-year-old could emerge as a depth option for a contender.
