Browns Release Nyheim Hines

Tuesday, February 18, 9:08 PM

The Cleveland Browns released running back Nyheim Hines (knee) on Tuesday. Hines has not played in an NFL game due to a torn ACL since 2022, when he split time with the Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills. The Browns were hoping that the 28-year-old would be ready at some point in 2024, but that never came to pass and he spent all year on Injured Reserve. He'll now have to prove he's past his knee injury in order to get picked up by another team looking for a RB with pass-catching skills out of the backfield as depth at the position. The former fourth-rounder (104th overall) by the Colts in 2018 out of North Carolina State has 306 rushing attempts for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns while adding 240 receptions for 1,778 receiving yards and eight TDs in five NFL seasons. Even if Hines latches on with a new team for 2025, he won't be on the fantasy radar.

Terry McLaurin, Commanders Not "in a Great Place" Regarding New Contract

Saturday, June 21, 8:13 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is not "in a great place" with the team regarding a new deal, per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. The wideout is entering the last season of a three-year, $68.2 million contract he signed in 2022. Most assumed this situation would have been sorted out by now. However, that doesn't appear to be the case. McLaurin certainly deserves a pay increase, considering he had a career-high 13 touchdowns last season while adding 82 grabs for 1,096 yards. This will be a hot topic of discussion for fantasy managers moving ahead. Currently, McLaurin is expected to be on the field come Week 1, although that could change depending on how things go during training camp. Without question, 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels hopes he'll be out there. If not, Daniels will need to move even quicker to build chemistry with new receiver Deebo Samuel Sr., who was traded from the 49ers back in March.
