WR Deebo Samuel locked in a revised one-year pact with the Commanders on Wednesday, netting 17 million dollars guaranteed and up to 3 million in incentives, per league sources. The 29-year-old looks to reset after a muted 2024 with the 49ers. (Source: Adam Schefter)

Fantasy Impact: Samuel’s 2024 dip—51 catches, 670 yards—faded his star, but Washington’s offense could unlock his dual-threat game. Pairing with Terry McLaurin, he’s a WR2 gamble with PPR juice if Kliff Kingsbury schemes him right. Injuries and age (29) cap his ceiling—health is key.

DE Jalyn Holmes locked in a new deal with the Commanders on Wednesday, per league insiders. The 29-year-old bounced between squads in 2024, racking up 21 tackles and two sacks over a combined 19 outings, and looks poised to back up Washington’s defensive front next season.

Fantasy Impact: Holmes’ 2024 haul—21 tackles, two sacks—keeps him off most IDP radars. He’ll fill a reserve role in Washington, so only the deepest dynasty formats might care—redraft skips him unless the depth chart thins.

The Commanders have re-signed CB Noah Igbinoghene. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Igbinoghene turned in a solid season with the Commanders in 2024, tallying 55 total tackles and seven passes defensed. He should see plenty of time as the slot corner for the Commanders in 2025.

The Commanders signed DE Deatrich Wise to a one-year, $5 million contract. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Wise spent the past eight years with the Patriots. He'll hold a rotational role on the defensive line for Washington.

The Commanders agreed to terms with DT Eddie Goldman on a one-year contract.

Fantasy Impact: Goldman recorded one sack in a rotational role last season with the Falcons. He'll likely be in a similar role on the defensive line with Washington.

The Commanders re-signed RB Jeremy McNichols to a one-year contract. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: McNichols will continue to hold a depth role in the backfield for the Commanders. He remains off the fantasy radar.

The Browns agreed to terms with OT Cornelius Lucas on a two-year contract. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lucas held a depth role on the Commanders offensive line. He'll add more experience in the same way for Cleveland for whoever is at quarterback for the Browns.

The Commanders acquired LT Laremy Tunsil and a 2025 fourth-round pick from the Texans in exchange for Washington’s 2026 second-rounder, 2025 third-rounder, 2026 fourth-rounder and 2025 seventh-rounder. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Houston moves on from its left tackle for a plethora of draft picks. Tunsil graded out as a solid blocker in the pass game last season. Houston opens up $13.8 million in cap space with the move. Tunsil should upgrade the offensive line for Washington to help protect Jayden Daniels as he continues to develop.

Dyami Brown has agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal that could be worth up to $12 million with the Jacksonville Jaguars. (Source: Mike Garafolo on X)

Fantasy Impact: Jacksonville needed to bolster its passing game options with Evan Engram and Christian Kirk no longer on the team. Brown has never been a prolific option at receiver, but he’s coming off a career best 308 receiving yards in 2024 with Washington and a fantastic playoff stretch that saw him accumulate an additional 229 yards.

The Commanders re-signed TE John Bates to a three-year contract. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bates caught eight passes in a limited role last season. He will remain off the fantasy radar.

The Commanders re-signed TE Zach Ertz to a one-year, $6.25 million contract.

Fantasy Impact: Ertz returns to Washington after he was a safety blanket for Jayden Daniels for much of last season. The addition of Deebo Samuel adds more competition, but Ertz could be a streaming option for fantasy managers in certain matchups. It will also be worth monitoring to see if Ben Sinnott has any role in his second season.

The Commanders tendered an exclusive rights tender to RB Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Fantasy Impact: Rodriguez will continue to hold a depth role in the Commanders backfield.

The Commanders re-signed LB Bobby Wagner to a one-year contract. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The deal is $8.5 million guaranteed and can be up to $9.5 million. Wagner posted a strong season for Washington on the defensive side last season. He'll look to do that again as the Commanders attempt to take another step forward as a team.

The Commanders have re-signed K Zane Gonzalez. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: In six games with Washington last season, Gonzalez connected on 5-of-7 field goals and 19-of-19 extra points. He'll head into next year as the Commanders starting kicker.

If the Commanders can't find a trading partner for two-time Pro Bowl DT Jonathan Allen, he'll likely be released in a cost-cutting move. (Source: Michael Silver on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Allen was granted permission to seek a trade last week. He suffered a partially torn pectoral muscle in Week 6 and successfully returned in Week 17. He would likely be in line to sign a short-term deal with a contender if he is released.

The Commanders signed CB Bobby Price. (Source: John Keim on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Price appeared in three games with Washington last season. He'll remain with the Commanders heading into next year.

Veteran QB Marcus Mariota, who will be a free agent in the 2025 offseason, could have "a little bit of interest" from the Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins. (Source: Pat McAfee on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Adam Schefter drew the link to these two teams due to Mariota's relationships with new Raiders OC Chip Kelly and Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa, speaking on "The Pat McAfee Show." Las Vegas currently has Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew II, though the latter could be a cut candidate. However, the Raiders could be in the market for a non-bridge QB, either in the draft or via free agency. Miami needs a backup QB behind Tagovailoa that they can trust, and Mariota could be an option.

The Commanders elevated Carl Davis Jr. from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Eagles. (Source: Washington Commanders on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Davis has been elevated with Daron Payne ruled out for Washington.

The Commanders elevated Kevon Seymour from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Eagles. (Source: Washington Commanders on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Seymour will provide Washington with some more depth in its secondary heading into Sunday.

Daron Payne has been ruled out for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Eagles. (Source: Washington Commanders on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Payne has been downgraded to out after being listed as questionable. The Commanders defense against Saquon Barkley and the Eagles run game will take a hit in his absence.
