Draft

Just Say No

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, Josh Gordon reinstated by the NFL.

This makes him the number one player on our do-not-draft list (only because we can’t not draft Brandon Marshall anymore).

I hear you. Ton of talent. GOAT at QB. Belichick. I heard you last year, too.

“He’s in too good a situation to mess up again.”

“He’s with the Patriots now, all he has to do is stay clean and he gets a Super Bowl ring.”

“He’s finally got it together.”

“I can’t pass him up at this draft spot. Too much value!”

Does anything I said above not apply to this year also? What gives you any confidence that this year will be better? There is simply too much risk. Let someone else take a chance on Josh Gordon.

With our patented, matrix cheat sheet that uses your custom league settings and incorporates ADP, you can find plenty of upside elsewhere, without the risk.

Just say no.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said he would like to see the team extend Derrick Henry's contract.
Henry, 31, continued to play like one of the top running backs in the league in his first season with the Ravens. He fell just shy of the second 2,000-yard season of his career but averaged a career-best 5.9 YPC while also leading the league with 16 rushing touchdowns. Henry only has one year left on his current deal, and he's bound to slow down at some point. But he'll again be expected to shoulder the load in Baltimore's backfield next season and could be worth keeping under contract after the 2025 season if he continues to play at a high level.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Breece Hall is "in a good place" but "we have three running backs on this team that we're going to utilize as much as possible."
Not exactly re-assuring news for Hall in re-draft leagues this year. The Lions, of course, managed to create fantasy value for both David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. But it is much harder to reliably project a back for fantasy points if they don't get a full slate of touches. It sounds like both Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis could be factors in the Jets backfield. Hall is entering the final year of his rookie deal and the way Glenn presents this, it sounds more like he's the head of a committee than a true three-down back this year.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he "fully expect(s)" Mark Andrews to be on the roster in 2025.
"He's just too good of a player," Harbaugh added. The Ravens have said all the right things on keeping Andrews this offseason despite a trade making some sense. It's possible Baltimore works out an extension. With Isaiah Likely in the final year of his rookie contract, it's also possible that Baltimore simply lets Andrews play out the final year of his contract and then works to re-sign the younger Likely. Either way, with the threat of a trade seemingly gone, Andrews remains a TE1 for fantasy purposes heading into the draft.

Jaguars coach Liam Coen said the team has had contract extension discussions with Travon Walker.
Walker has had 20.5 sacks the last two years and started all 34 games for the Jaguars after being the No. 1 overall pick in 2022. A fifth-year option pickup is all but assured at this point. From there, the Jaguars have some space to negotiate with as they'll hold his rights for the next two years. Walker remains an obvious piece of the Jaguars core even if the defense has underachieved in back-to-back seasons.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said the team has had internal conversations about an extension for Lamar Jackson.
Harbaugh is fresh off signing a three-year extension of his own. Now, the long-time coach is on record saying a new deal could be in the works for Jackson "sooner or later." Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract extension in 2023 and is under contract through the 2027 season. That said, with a league salary cap that is likely to see a continued increase in the coming seasons, the Ravens would be wise to give Jackson a new deal before his current one nears expiration. Jackson, 28, is a two-time MVP who nearly won a third MVP after a 2024 season in which he threw for 4,172-41-4 while adding another 915 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. His 2026 cap number balloons to $74.650 million, but that number can likely be reduced with a new deal, creating added incentive for the Ravens to get something done.
