Fantasy Impact: Johnson has a reputation as a hard-nosed runner, something he displayed by fighting through injury during Washington's CFP run. The Titans signed RB Tony Pollard to play alongside Tyjae Spears. Tennessee's RB room, though, lacks depth behind the pair, leaving space for Johnson to fight for a roster spot.

Fantasy Impact: After four years at Truman, Schrader walked on with Missouri. In 2023, he ran for 1,627 yards (SEC-best) and had 14 rushing touchdowns. He enters a now-deep RB room and can fight for a spot on the team's practice squad.

QB Taulia Tagovailoa, younger brother of Tua, did not sign a UDFA contract yet. However, Seattle has invited him to their rookie camp, so a contract could come. (Source: Mike Garafolo)

UDFA QB John Rhys Plumlee agreed to a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. An interesting wrinkle is that he may switch to slot WR as part of his NFL future. (Source: Tom Pelissero)

Fantasy Impact: Plumlee was productive in college, but his smaller stature could necessitate a move to slot WR in the NFL. He's extremely athletic, so he could make some noise this summer.

Fantasy Impact: Watson played for Old Dominion and Memphis collegiately, starting as a wide receiver.

With the drafting of JJ McCarthy to the Vikings, Sam Darnold is not guaranteed a starting role, despite signing a $10m deal to be the bridge QB. (Source: Kevin Seifert)

Fantasy Impact: GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said that the team does not want to rush McCarthy's development and wants him to be as good as he can be. However, the team has seen plenty of evidence that he can make all the throws needed and he could force their hand, shifting Darnold to the backup role.

Following the NFL Draft, Brandon Powell is the current leader for the Vikings' WR3 spot. (Source: The Athletic)

The Jacksonville Jaguars picked up their QB Trevor Lawrence's fifth-year option on Monday. (Source: Adam Schefter)

Fantasy Impact: Etienne is an integral piece of the Jaguars' offense and it certainly seems that the Jaguars value him as such. He should begin contract negotiations with them soon.

Free agent WR Jarvis Landry is going to participate in the Jaguars’ rookie minicamp. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Landry did not play last season and is stating that he is fully healthy and is ready to return. The 31-year-old last played with the Saints in 2022, registering 272 yards and one touchdown on 25 receptions in nine games.

The Dallas Cowboys and RB Ezekiel Elliott have agreed to terms. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Elliott will rejoin the Cowboys after one season away from the team. With Tony Pollard leaving in free agency, the Cowboys were in need of some running back depth. Elliott had a strong season in New England, tallying 642 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 184 rushing attempts.

Mekhi Becton plans to sign a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million with the Eagles pending a physical. (Source: Adam Schefter)

Fantasy Impact: Becton should serve as the Eagles' swing tackle for the 2024 season, since they didn't address their offensive tackles during the draft. The former Jet is a potential starting option down the road if Lane Johnson ends up retiring after 2024-25.
