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.

Elijah Sarratt News
Saturday, August 15, 7:20 PM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Elijah Sarratt caught six of his seven targets for 66 yards during Saturday's preseason contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie fourth-round pick led the team in all three categories -- catches, targets, and yards -- as the Ravens won 24-7 in Week 1 of the preseason. Although fellow rookie Ja'Kobi Lane had the team's lone receiving touchdown, Sarratt was by far the most involved, showcasing a rapport with both Joe Fagnano and Austin Reed. The path to immediate playing time for Sarratt is a bit murky, but a strong preseason will certainly help his case. As it stands, he's behind Zay Flowers, Lane, and Rashod Bateman in the pecking order -- and possibly Devontez Walker, too. The Indiana product sits at WR71 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
