Fantasy Impact:

Jennings responded with a team-high 93 receiving yards, including 36 yards after the catch, the story pointed out. His 13-yard catch-and-run at the end of the game set up the game-winning field goal. Pearsall, meanwhile, finished second on the team with 73 receiving yards. Jennings played a 58 snaps at WR to lead all the 49ers at the position. Samuel had 48 snaps and Pearsall 41.

The Jets are signing FA WR Josh Reynolds today, sources say, and he gets a 1-year deal worth up to $5M.

Reynolds played for the Broncos last year, and GM Darren Mougey is more than familiar. Also recently spent time with the Jaguars, Lions and Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

Not much fantasy value hiding here, though it is a nice depth piece for Justin Fields or a prospective rookie signal caller.

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs reached agreement on a three-year, $69 million deal including $26 million guaranteed with the New England Patriots.

Related Players: Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker

Fantasy Impact:

This is an incredible injection of talent to what is arguably the worst WR room in the NFL. Diggs should be immediately considered somewhere in the WR3 range, with (hopefully) more weapons for Drake Maye coming in the next month.

Giants to sign QB Russell Wilson to one-year deal

The Giants and Super Bowl-winning QB Russell Wilson reached agreement today on a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed.
The 10-time Pro-Bowl selection had been in discussions with the Giants, Browns, and Steelers, but is opting for New York, where Wilson won Super Bowl XLVIII in MetLife Stadium. Now, Wilson is returning there as the Giants’ projected starting QB.

Related Players: Jameis Winston, Tommy DeVito

Fantasy Impact:

We would have loved to see Winston airing it out to Malik Nabers, but the Giants have made a stand to bring Wilson on board. We'll have to see if they still make a move for a first-round option during the NFL Draft, but as it stands, no Giants QB is worth redraft consideration.
