CSN Bay Area said "the QB Colin Kaepernick-to-TE Vernon Davis connection was seemingly unstoppable."

Fantasy Impact:

The story gives high praise to both players but said the duo made at least 12 impressive connections during the 16 open practices the media was allowed to attend. We rank Davis as the number-two TE option in standard formats behind Jimmy Graham, but you can get Davis a little later in drafts. He appears to be a great value.

WR Cooper Kupp signs with Seahawks on three-year deal

Seahawks are giving Cooper Kupp a three-year deal, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

JSN's career slot rate is sitting at 77.3%, while Kupp has been mostly featured out of the slot as well, which could signal some more out-wide usage for the youngster. Smith-Njiba is undoubtedly still the WR1 in Seattle, so they will absolutely figure it out, but the two are more interchangeable than it would have been with JSN + DK Metcalf. Continue to consider Smith-Njigba a high-end WR2, while we could see Kupp on the WR2/3 fringe if he is at full health.

Chiefs re-signing RB Kareem Hunt to one-year deal

The Chiefs are re-signing RB Kareem Hunt to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with incentives, per source.

Related Players: Isiah Pacheco, Elijah Mitchell, Carson Steele

Fantasy Impact:

With Hunt and Mitchell finding themselves in KC this week, it feels like the Chiefs will be passing on a rookie once again, which is good news for Pacheco. A full offseason removed from his fibula injury, he should be back in RB2 consideration.

Cowboys to sign RB Miles Sanders to one-year deal

Miles Sanders plans to sign with the Cowboys on a one-year deal.

Related Players: Javonte Williams, Deuce Vaughn

Fantasy Impact:

We've got quite the interesting batch of running backs sitting in Dallas now, but none of these names excludes them from going after the position in the Draft. Sanders joins Javonte Williams as two of the least efficient backs in the league over the last couple of seasons, which fits the mold of them bringing back Ezekiel Elliott not so long ago.

Sanders should not be in fantasy consideration and could have a hard time making the final roster, depending on what the final contract looks like.
