I’m gonna try and get to the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop.” It was a down season for Kelce last year, hauling in 97 passes for 823 yards and three touchdown. His best days are likely behind him, but he'll still be a reliable target for Patrick Mahomes in the middle of the field.

Bills GM Brandon Beane said “we expect Matt Milano back at this point.” (Source: The Athletic)

Doctors reporters told Abdul Carter that “surgery is not advisable” to correct a stress reaction in his foot. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Vikings OT Christian Darrisaw (knee) is making strong progress recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee, performed in early November 2024. HC Kevin O’Connell gave a positive update this week, noting Darrisaw is “absolutely killing it” in rehab and expressing optimism about his spring and summer timeline. The standout left tackle missed significant time last season but remains a key piece protecting whoever lines up at quarterback for Minnesota in 2025, though the starter remains TBD.

Fantasy Impact: Darrisaw’s return is a indirect boost for fantasy owners eyeing Vikings passers or runners—think Sam Darnold, J.J. McCarthy, or Aaron Jones. His elite blind-side blocking steadies the offense, but the knee’s long-term outlook matters after such a heavy injury. If he’s back to full strength by camp, he lifts the floor for Minnesota’s skill guys; if not, expect some early-season turbulence. No fantasy points here directly, but his rehab updates could nudge Jones or the QB1 up your rankings.

Fantasy Impact: "The real top-end athletes tend to heal at a little faster rate, and I think that’s going on with Brandon as well," Lynch said. Aiyuk's status for the start of the 2025 season remains uncertain, but he does appear to be progressing. With Deebo Samuel requesting a trade, San Francisco will likely look to bring in a wide receiver or two this offseason.

Lions DC Kelvin Sheppard has “full confidence” in Aidan Hutchinson’s return to form. (Source: ProFootballTalk on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: “That guy was having a phenomenal year,” Sheppard said. “That guy’s willing to drop into coverage if it deems they’re turning three people in protection to him. He’ll drop out without hesitation and understand the coverage aspect of it, want to pour into that. So I have full faith in Hutch.” Hutchinson is working his way back from a broken tibia and fibula in his left leg. There have been videos of him running as he continues his rehab process. He'll be a player to monitor throughout the remainder of the offseason.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis said he feels the team can win with Derek Carr. (Source: Nick Underhill on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Saints have a decision to make this offseason with Carr. If they release him, it creates $21.5 million in dead cap. It sounds like that is a possibility if they are unable to trade him, which also isn't likely.

Patriots vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf said the team may have “put too much on his plate” in reference to Ja’Lynn Polk. (Source: Alex Barth on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Polk could never find a rhythm on the field as a rookie last season. The wide receiver out of Washington caught just 12 passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns. He'll now have a full offseason with the team and a new coaching staff.
