Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (hamstring) missed practice Friday. Nicks was seen riding a stationary bike during the media portion of practice. Nick indicated that the injury was nothing serious, and that he was just resting it after feeling some fatigue. Nicks says he is definitely playing. Being a Monday Night game, owners will want to have Mario Manningham in reserve just in case.

Jaguars to release WR Christian Kirk

Jaguars plan to release veteran WR Christian Kirk, per source.

Related Players: Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis, Parker Washington

Fantasy Impact:

Kirk will look for new employment on an increasingly fertile WR free agent landscape after a disappointing 27-catch 2024 performance in which he logged only eight games. Brian Thomas Jr. is already appropriately earmarked for a WR1 season, but this certainly doesn't hurt things.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf requests trade

Two-time Pro Bowl WR DK Metcalf has requested a trade and the Seahawks have agreed to explore options.
.
Days before free agency, the 27-year-old Metcalf immediately becomes the top receiver available.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo

Fantasy Impact:

There's no doubt there are plenty of teams that would be in the market for Metcalf's services, but it remains to be seen if this is a power move after Tyler Lockett's release or not. If Metcalf does end up leaving, JSN will absolutely rocket up WR rankings.

Seahawks release WR Tyler Lockett

Seahawks are releasing an all-time franchise great, wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who piled up 8,594 receiving yards and 61 touchdowns across 10 seasons in Seattle. The Seahawks are opting to release Lockett rather than pay him his $17 million salary for this season, including a $5.3 million roster bonus due March 16.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, DK Metcalf

Fantasy Impact:

It doesn't seem like Lockett is done with the NFL, but we'll have to wait and see what kind of opportunity he'll find as a potential WR3 on another team. JSN gets a nice bump here, particularly with subsequent news that Metcalf has requested a trade.
