    Davis played 11 NFL seasons, spending five years with the Rams, two with the Jaguars and the final four of his career with the Patriots.

    Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Moving on to Washington
    2h ago

    Zaccheaus has agreed to a deal with the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    In his only campaign with the Eagles, Zaccheaus (who caught 40 passes with the Falcons in 2022) finished the 2023 regular season with 10 catches for 164 yards and two TDs in 17 games. With the Commanders, the 26-year-old will add depth to a wideout corps that is currently led by Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson. In that context, Zaccheaus has some bounce-back potential if he can carve out steady snaps in 2024 behind the team's top duo.

    The Bills signed Williams to a one-year contract Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

  • Jayden Daniels 2005 QB
    Jayden Daniels: Throws at LSU Pro Day
    5h ago

    Daniels, who opted to not throw at the NFL Scouting Combine, did so at LSU's Pro Day on Wednesday, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.

    Per the report, Daniels, who measured in at 6-foot-3⅝, 210 pounds, was slated to spend time afterward with the Patriots, Commanders, Giants, Vikings, Broncos and Raiders. As next month's draft approaches, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner is viewed as one of the top options at the QB position along with USC's Caleb Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye and Michigan's J.J. McCarthy. While Williams is expected to be selected first overall, where Daniels lands remains to be seen, though what is clear is that the top four signal-callers figure to come off the board quickly, in any case.

    Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Inking with Jacksonville
    8h ago

    The Jaguars are slated to sign Deguara to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

    Deguara spent the last four seasons handling a depth role in Green Bay, where he was drafted in the third round back in 2020. His versatility both as a blocker and on special teams will boost his chances of earning playing time behind Evan Engram, but Deguara peaked with a 25-245-2 receiving line in 2021 and doesn't appear to have much fantasy potential.

  • J.K. Dobbins BAL RB
    J.K. Dobbins: Lines up AFC West visit
    9h ago

    Dobbins (Achilles) is visiting the Chargers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Dobbins, who was recently medically cleared for football activities, is coming off a left Achilles tear after previously missing all of 2021 and about half of the 2022 season due to a torn ACL and proceeding issues. That medical history undercuts otherwise impressive career numbers for Dobbins, who has averaged 5.8 yards per carry and scored 13 touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2020 as a second-round pick by the Ravens, but only suited up for 24 games in that span. Reuniting with offensive coordinator Greg Roman could make the most sense as a landing spot for Dobbins, but it's possible he doesn't garner more interest than a potential prove-it deal. The Chargers signed Gus Edwards,a former Baltimore backfield mate of Dobbins, early in free agency.

  • Esteury Ruiz OAK CF
    Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Not in Opening Day lineup
    1m ago

    Ruiz isn't starting Thursday against the Guardians.

    Ruiz had been losing his grip on a starting job in Oakland's outfield, and the decision to leave him off the Opening Day lineup suggests he may have officially fallen a couple spots on the depth chart. The speedy outfielder may still see a decent amount of playing time in the field to give Seth Brown, JJ Bleday or Lawrence Butler a day off, but a reduced role could bring down the amount of stolen bases he is able to tally over the course of the season.

    Kepler initially remained in the game to finish his at-bat after getting checked out by trainers, but he was replaced once the Twins took the field in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Twins will take a look at the 31-year-old outfielder and should have more information in the near future.

    Senzel broke his thumb while fielding a groundball before Thursday's game against the Reds, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    The Nationals should offer more details following Thursday's game, but it sounds like Senzel may be facing an extended absence to begin the season. Ildemaro Vargas entered the lineup as Senzel's replacement and figures to see regular reps at third base while he's out.

    1h ago

    Florial isn't in the Guaridans' lineup Thursday against the Athletics.

    Florial is likely to start in center field most days as a strong-side platoon option, but he will take a seat Thursday with left-hander Alex Wood on the bump. Tyler Freeman will get the nod in center field instead and bat sixth.

    16m ago

    Lee (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Questionable for Friday
    18m ago

    Nurkic (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game in Oklahoma City, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Nurkic missed Wednesday's game due to a sprained ankle, which resulted in Drew Eubanks drawing a spot start, and the latter finished with five points, four rebounds and an assist over 27 minutes. If Nurkic needs to miss another game, Eubanks would likely get another start, but he's not the most attractive target in fantasy hoops.

    Cunningham continues to pop up on Detroit's injury report due to left knee injury management. Jaden Ivey (knee) is also questionable, so if both of Detroit's usual starting guards are unavailable, Marcus Sasser could be in store for a leading role.

    Cates (personal) won't play Thursday versus the Canadiens.

    Cates has been in a bottom-six role recently and hasn't recorded a point in his last nine games, so his absence won't make waves in fantasy. Cam Atkinson will draw into the lineup Thursday with Cates out. The Flyers return home to face the Blackhawks on Saturday.
