Hakeem Nicks, the Giants first-round draft pick in 2009...

Jul 21, 2010

Hakeem Nicks, the Giants first-round draft pick in 2009, had an impressive rookie season. The wide receiver caught 47 passes for 790 yards and six touchdowns, and established himself as a playmaking threat in the young Giants receiving corps. Nicks revealed in April that he played the season on a broken toe, which required offseason surgery to repair. The toe will be healed in time for the start of training camp, Nicks said, and that his preparation for 2010 has been "all football."

WR Tyler Lockett signs with Titans on one-year deal

Former Seahawks legend Tyler Lockett is signing with the Titans on a 1-year, $4M deal with a chance to get to $6M.

Related Player: Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, Treylon Burks

Fantasy Impact:

Solid signing to add some more stability to the WR room ahead of the (presumptive) selection of QB Cam Ward at No. 1. This doesn't at all preclude the team from grabbing some more pieces through the Draft, and Lockett is more of a role player than one who the offense runs through at this point of his career, so he should be considered a deep WR5 flier in fantasy land.

RB James Cook does not report to Bills voluntary offseason program

Buffalo Pro-Bowl running back James Cook did not report to the start of the Bills’ voluntary offseason program. Cook is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and would like a new deal.

Related Players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson, Darrynton Evans, Frank Gore Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bills are equipped to head into the season sans Cook, but no one behind him on the depth chart has the same do-it-all functionality as the RB1. We'll keep an eye on this, but it's still too early in the process to panic about Cook's availability.

Cardinals re-sign WR Greg Dortch on one-year deal

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch signed the restricted free-agent tender one-year, $3.3 million offer extended to him in March.

Related Players: Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Zay Jones

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't preclude the Cardinals from adding another WR in the Draft, but it does give them some insurance if they miss out on anyone until later on Day 3. Dortch is still looking to build on a nice 52-462-2 sophomore season he had back in 2022, but shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar.
