Rondale Moore News
Sunday, February 22, 4:09 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore has passed away at 25 years old, according to Ahmad Hicks of FOX9. His death is under investigation, but law enforcement officials said they found Moore in a garage with a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound. Moore entered the NFL as a second-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2021. He made an immediate impact as a rookie, catching 54 passes for 435 yards and a touchdown. He posted similar numbers over his next two years in Arizona. He was traded to the Atlanta Falcons prior to the 2024 season, but ultimately missed the entire year due to a knee injury that he suffered in training camp. One year later, during a preseason game with the Vikings, he suffered another season-ending knee injury, forcing him out for the entire 2025 campaign. He was scheduled to enter unrestricted free agency next month.

Rashod Bateman News
Thursday, June 11, 5:48 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has had a disappointing early career since being drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. While missing four games in 2025, he still saw the second-most playing time of all Ravens receivers, but he was unable to follow up on his career-high 756 receiving yards from the previous season, and he's yet to top the 46 receptions of his rookie campaign. His 2024 season also looks to be an outlier from a touchdown perspective, as his nine scores that year mark the only instance of him finding the end zone more than twice. With Baltimore welcoming in an entirely new coaching staff and spending third and fourth-round picks on receivers Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt, while subsequently saying goodbye to tight ends Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, the Ravens offense could look entirely different in 2026, and Bateman's role is far from secured. Under contract through his age-30 season, Bateman's prospects of a fantasy-relevant breakout are looking bleak, and the sixth-year veteran has fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty WR112.
