Giants, Russell Wilson Reach Agreement On One-Year Deal
The New York Giants and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $21 million on Tuesday, including $10.5 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 10-time Pro Bowler had been in talks with the Giants, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers but has chosen the G-Men, where he will be their projected starter heading into the 2025 season. The 36-year-old veteran had two underwhelming seasons for the Denver Broncos in 2022-23 before throwing for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in 11 regular-season starts for Pittsburgh in 2024. Wilson got a late start last year due to a nagging calf injury. He initially gave the Steelers offense a spark but overall was mostly underwhelming. Russ will have one of the best young wideouts in the game to throw deep balls to in Malik Nabers, but he's unlikely to suddenly become an every-week QB1 in fantasy at this stage of his career. The Giants also added veteran Jameis Winston last week and could still take a QB with the third overall pick of April's NFL draft.

Titans To Hold Another Private Workout With Cam Ward
The Tennessee Titans will hold an additional private workout with potential No. 1 overall pick in Miami quarterback Cam Ward, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. At this workout, Ward will go through a throwing session after the Titans also had a full contingency on hand to watch his Pro Day workout on Monday. Tennessee has become increasingly impressed with Ward, and Schefter writes that while the Titans will still listen to trade offers for the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, it will now take an even stronger package to convince them to trade out of the first pick. The 22-year-old will almost certainly start on Day 1 for the Titans if they take him, especially after former second-rounder Will Levis was benched in favor of Mason Rudolph in 2024. Ward is the most pro-ready QB in a weak draft class and should be in play in superflex leagues in 2025 given his dual-threat abilities at the position.
Cowboys To Add Starting Running Back In 2025 NFL Draft?
The Dallas Cowboys ranked 27th in rushing yards per game last season (100.3) despite an unexpected breakout campaign from Rico Dowdle, who rushed for over 1,000 yards. The team lost Dowdle to the Carolina Panthers this offseason and brought Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders in on one-year deals. However, Dallas is still likely interested in finding a true No. 1 running back, and the 2025 draft class is loaded with talent at the position. While many have linked Dallas to Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, he could be off the board by pick No. 12. That said, North Carolina's Omarion Hampton, Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins, or Iowa's Kaleb Johnson could make sense in Round 1 or 2 in next month's draft. If the team picks a running back before Round 4, Williams and Sanders will be big fantasy football fallers, and that rookie will have immediate RB2 value with potential RB1 upside.
Jaxson Dart Likely To Be First-Round Pick
Former Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is one of the top signal-caller prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft class. It has been assumed for much of the pre-draft process that Miami's Cam Ward and Colorado's Shedeur Sanders will be first-round picks, but momentum is building for Dart to be the third quarterback selected inside Round 1. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. projects Dart to be selected by the New Orleans Saints with the No. 9 overall pick, and DraftKings Sportsbook's current line for over 2.5 quarterbacks in Round 1 is set at -330. Dart began his college career at USC before transferring to Ole Miss ahead of the 2022 campaign. The three-year SEC starter compiled a 28-10 record behind 72 passing touchdowns and 22 interceptions. Potential QB-needy teams set to pick outside the top five include the Saints, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Indianapolis Colts.
