Xavier Smith News
Monday, March 2, 5:18 PM
The Los Angeles Rams announced on Monday that they tendered exclusive-rights free-agent kicker Harrison Mevis and wide receiver Xavier Smith. Neither Mevis nor Smith will be allowed to negotiate with other teams this offseason. Mevis, 23, made his NFL debut last year and was impressive, making 12 of his 13 field-goal attempts (made his lone try from 50-plus yards) and all 39 of his extra-point tries in nine regular-season games. He finished the year ranked as the No. 8 fantasy kicker in terms of fantasy points per game at 8.3. In the playoffs, Mevis was a perfect 15-for-15 on field goals (six) and extra-point tries. The former undrafted kicker out of Missouri should enter the 2026 season as the favorite to be L.A.'s starting kicker, which will make him pretty attractive in fantasy football in one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.

Cyrus Allen News
Saturday, April 25, 12:10 PM
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen with the 176th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Allen began his collegiate career at Louisiana Tech before transferring to Texas A&M and then to Cincinnati. In his lone season with the Bearcats, he led the team with 49 receptions, 661 yards, and 12 touchdowns. Allen is an undersized slot receiver who wins with quickness, and he was one of the standouts at this year's Senior Bowl. In Kansas City, he joins a receiver room with a lot of overlapping skillsets, which could make it hard for him to find the field in any meaningful way as a rookie.
