  • Let go by Seattle
    The Seahawks waived Williams on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Advice: Williams inked with Seattle as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 NFL Draft, but after spending OTAs and minicamp with the team he'll now need to search for a new opportunity. As a senior at North Dakota State in 2023, Williams rushed 125 times for 768 yards and eight touchdowns. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:18 pm

  • Sermon ‘likeliest option’ to be RB2 behind Taylor
    ESPN’s Stephen Holder believes Trey Sermon is “the likeliest option” to win the Colts’ backup running back job.

    Advice: A former third-round pick of the 49ers in 2021, Sermon hasn’t seen much work as a pro, appearing in just 25 games during his three-year career while rushing for 78-346-1 over that span. With Zack Moss now in Cincinnati, Sermon, who joined the Colts last season, has a chance to earn a meaningful role heading into this season. Jonathan Taylor will still handle the large majority of the Colts’ touches, but whoever ends up as his backup could make for a solid stash in fantasy leagues. Sermon rushed for 88 scoreless yards on 17 carries in a Week 15 matchup against the Steelers last season and averaged a solid 4.6 YPC on the season. Rotoworld Monday, 2:55 pm

  • Bigsby ‘didn’t have standout’ offseason program
    Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley reports Tank Bigsby “didn’t have the standout offseason program that he had last year.”

    Advice: More concerningly, Shipley reports Bigsby continued to struggle with drops. Coach Doug Pederson has talked up wanting to get Bigsby more involved as a second-year pro after his disappointing rookie campaign, but he’s off to a poor start. It’s extra bad news for the Jags since they passed on meaningful reinforcements in the draft or free agency. Travis Etienne continues to profile for massive work even though Jacksonville knows he ideally would be more of a 60 percent player from a snaps perspective. Fifth-rounder Keilan Robinson is a name to file away. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:47 am

  • Vying for larger role Year 2
    McLaughlin is working to earn an increased workload entering Year 2 while competing with backfield mates Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.

    Advice: McLaughlin has been one of the earliest to arrive throughout Denver's voluntary offseason workouts, and at mandatory minicamp he reportedly looked more explosive than in his rookie season, when he averaged an impressive 5.4 yards per carry. Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi praised McLaughlin's "speed, acceleration (and) explosiveness," saying "I don't know if there's anyone who works harder than him." Still, the Broncos' backfield is crowded, with Javonte Williams presumably still the No. 1 option and another year removed from his ACL injury, plus rookie fifth-rounder Audric Estime (knee) and undrafted free agent Blake Watson having been added to the mix.

  • Seahawks signing UFL RB Ricky Person
    Seahawks signed RB Ricky Person Jr.

    Advice: Person just finished the season with the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions. An undrafted running back out of NC State, Person briefly spent time with the Ravens in the NFL, but did not make the regular season roster. He ran for 297 yards on 93 carries with the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions last season, punching in six touchdowns. Person also tallied 150 total receiving yards and ran for 102 yards in the UFL championship. He adds depth as a runner and receiver to the Seahawks’ backfield heading into training camp. While Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet will headline the depth chart, Person will get a chance to make the roster behind them. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:40 pm

  • Joins Seattle
    The Seahawks signed Person to a contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: Person was waived by the Ravens with an undisclosed injury in March of 2023, and he returns to the NFL following a standout campaign with the Birmingham Stallions of the UFL. The 24-year-old rushed for 295 yards and six touchdowns to go along with 150 receiving yards for the Stallions. Person will likely need to carve out a role on special teams in order to stick around with Seattle in 2024. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:33 pm

  • Joining Big Blue
    Saylors has agreed to terms on a contract with the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: Saylors joined the Bengals' roster prior to the 2023 season as an undrafted free agent before getting waived during final roster cuts. He ultimately landed with the Falcons' practice squad in October. He then suffered an undisclosed injury in November that landed him on injured reserve. With his addition to New York's roster, it looks like he is good to go heading into the 2024 season. There are five other running backs on the roster, so Saylors figures to have his work cut out for him going forward. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:14 am

  • Giants sign former UFL RB Jacob Saylors
    Giants signed RB Jacob Saylors, formerly of the UFL’s St. Louis Battlehawks.

    Advice: Saylors in 2024 led the UFL in rushing yards (537), averaging five yards per carry and scoring five touchdowns for the Battlehawks. Saylors led the UFL in yards after contact per rush. He also caught 24 passes for 264 yards. It will be an uphill battle for Saylors to crack the Giants roster this summer. For now, Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy are expected to lead New York’s backfield. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:08 am
