Ricky White III News
Sunday, August 31, 10:46 PM
The Seattle Seahawks released seventh-round rookie wide receiver Ricky White III from their active roster, but White III has re-signed with the team on a practice squad contract. The 23-year-old played one year in college at Michigan State before transferring to UNLV, where he recorded 218 catches for 3,336 yards and 24 touchdowns across three seasons. White III struggled to make much of an impact in preseason play for Seattle, hauling in three passes for 40 yards in three exhibition games. The Seahawks don't have a ton of proven depth in their receiver room behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. White III could conceivably work his way onto the active roster at some point in 2025, but he remains a long way off from fantasy relevance.

Malik Benson News
Tuesday, June 30, 9:58 AM
Las Vegas Raiders rookie sixth-rounder Malik Benson made the most of his organized team activities and minicamp opportunities this offseason, according to Levi Edwards of the team's official website. Edwards writes that Benson "could be a sneaky addition" to the receiving corps in 2026. He caught a handful of deep passes from all of the Raiders quarterbacks during portions of practice open to the media this spring, and he's a young pass-catcher to watch when training camp rolls around at the end of July. In his final collegiate season last year with the University of Oregon, Benson stepped up with 43 receptions for 719 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games played for the Ducks. The Raiders have one of the most wide-open WR groups in the NFL with training camp approaching, giving Benson an opportunity to carve out a role behind the likes of Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, and Jack Bech. He'll likely be competing with Dont'e Thornton for the WR4 role in Vegas in his first year in the NFL. Right now, Benson is only a deep sleeper for fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper formats.
