"Sutton is entering his eighth NFL season fresh off a career year in which he finished 17th or better among WRs in snaps, routes, targets, catches, TDs and fantasy points. Sutton ranked top 3 in both air yards and end zone targets and he's now finished in the top 10 in end zone targets three seasons in a row. Sutton has yet to finish a season in the top 25 in fantasy PPG, but he's emerged as the clear top target (25% target share last season) for a Broncos offense that is much improved with Bo Nix under center. Sutton, 29, is a solid WR3 option."


"The veteran wideout led the Broncos in catches, targets and receiving yards, although it was Troy Franklin who was on the other end of rookie QB Bo Nix's only TD pass Sunday. Sutton put together arguably the best campaign of his career in 2024, hauling in a career-high 81 passes for 1,081 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, and his per-game averages soared in the second half of the year (60-804-6 over his last 10 games) once he developed stronger chemistry with Nix. Sutton is under contract for one more year, and assuming he returns to Denver in 2025, his big finish will put him in high demand at the fantasy draft table."

"Aiyuk is back in San Francisco for his sixth NFL campaign, but he's expected to miss roughly half of the season after suffering a torn ACL and MCL in October. Aiyuk had just received a contract extension, which followed back-to-back top-15 fantasy seasons, including a 2023 campaign in which he produced a career-high 1,342 yards (seventh among WRs) and ranked top 5 at the position in yards per reception, yards per target and yards per route run. Even prior to the injury, however, Aiyuk was underperforming last season, scoring zero TDs and reaching double-digit fantasy points once in seven games. Aiyuk is still in his prime at age 27, but it's unclear when he'll return, how effective he'll be, and how much work he'll be given in a fairly crowded offense. Aiyuk is only worth late-round consideration in deep leagues."


"Aiyuk's recovery remains on track, but given the severity of the injury he's working back from, he's not considered a candidate to be ready for the start of training camp late July. The 49ers haven't yet offered a tangible timetable for Aiyuk's expected return, but he's remaining involved at team activities despite not being ready to handle on-field work. While it's still possible Aiyuk is ready for the start of the regular season after tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee last October, it's not a guarantee he'll be back to 100 percent form at any point in 2025. Even considering his deflated ADP in 2025 fantasy drafts, Aiyuk has to be considered a high-risk, high-upside selection. As he heads into the second season of the four-year, $120 million extension he inked with the 49ers last offseason, though, Aiyuk remains positioned to lead San Francisco's wide receiver corps when fully healthy."

"The Dolphins took Smythe in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft and then kept him on their roster (mostly as a blocker) until releasing him three weeks ago. He'll turn 30 in August and isn't likely to see many passes as the presumed No. 2 tight end behind long-time starter Cole Kmet. This signing is more about Chicago's running game than the passing attack, continuing an offseason makeover that's already seen the team hire a new head coach (Ben Johnson) and acquire two new guards (Jonah Jackson, Joe Thuney)."
