Below is a rolling list of NFL free agency signatures and what it could mean for fantasy football purposes in 2025.

The wide receiver moves

Rams has signed Davante Adams at a two -year -old business worth $ 46 million.

Adams lands in after what was an “aggressive” recruitment campaign by Rams’s head coach, Sean McVay. Adams, 32, will receive $ 26 million guaranteed for his two -year contract.

McVay, according to the reporting by athletics, the desired Adams “as a big frame target … which can be opened from several alignments”. Adams is well suited to this description: last season in New York, Adams registered a high career (47 percent) slot rate and was Top-20 in both meters on the route, as well as in the courts after the reception in the second half of the season.

In general, his races on the route a good extent of efficiency was the sixth largest in his 11-year career. It is not bad, given his miserable surroundings both in Vegas and New York. Not all metric was kind to Adams in 2024. His EPA (expected points added) on the target was equal to uncooked widths such as Greg Dortch and Ray-Ray McCloud. Throw Adams’s games with Raiders in 2024, and EPA on the target was still miserable, in accordance with Tank Dell and Dontayvian Wicks.

In LA, Adams will take over the WR2 duties behind the Blackhole target, known as Pika Nacua. He should raise his Cooper Kupp vacant targets and should be more efficient with these opportunities than the discolored Kupp. Do not make mistake: Nacua remains by far and away the receiver no. 1 of Rams. Adams and Kupp in 2024 fired at almost the same rate on the route.

Adams should profile, in the worst case, like a WR2 plug-and-play in fantasy formats this season.

Steelers purchased WR DK Metcalf from Seahawks in exchange for a second round choice.

Apparently, Metcalf eliminated the idea of ​​playing in a warm climate and joined the massive crime of Pittsburgh, which registered the sixth success rate of the NFL last year and ranked 22nd in the passing of the touchdown, related to his former team, The Seahawks.

Metcalf’s 2025 prospects will balance at least partially who, exactly, throws football. Steelers is expected to stay on Justin Fields for another season and belong to Russell Wilson, whose early solid game last season has collapsed in some of the most inefficient quarters in the NFL. Fields held a Top-15 Fantasy (DJ Moore in 2023) receiver, although Arthur Smith’s tread, only one offense, could prevent Metcalf from seeing the volume needed to obtain WR2 numbers. He could be firm on the territory of WR3 if George Pickens remains in Steelers crime. Pickens and Metcalf playing similar roles in a crime that last year had the third lowest level of the league to expect could mean a catastrophe for both fantasy perspectives in 2025.

Fields, like Brad Beatson of Sports Info Solution solution underlinedIt could not be a bad match for Metcalf. Two thirds of Fields’ targets to Moore in 2023 were on the border. Metcalf in his five seasons in Seattle saw 63 percent of his border targets. In other words, Metcalf is not based on the appearance over the middle, and the fields do not throw it over the middle.

We We talked to the Rotoworld football show Last week about if Metcalf is profiling as a receiver no. 1. The answer was no. Metcalf’s EPA on the target from the beginning of season 2023 is in accordance with Christian Kirk and the long -lasting teammate of Seahawks, Tyler Lockett. He is an elite air food, because only seven receptors in the last two seasons have accumulated more meters of air than Metcalf. And his air yards are divided over that period was greater than Ja’marr Chase and Justin Jefferson, among (many) others. No one saw more targets in the field (32) than Metcalf last year.

Of course, Pickens is also an Air Yards Maven and a deep ball specialist. Both Metcalf and Pickens-if they really play with each other in 2025 there should be high variance weekly fantasy options. When all or part of the air yards become real sites, their statistical lines will be succulent. If not, well, you know this story. You can’t feed your family with air yards. I tried.

Perhaps a quarter update can generate the type of efficiency that Metcalf will need to be a valuable fantasy producer. He could become an option of value if the public opinion is sufficient to sink it down.

Meanwhile, Jaxon Smith-Njigba will remain WR1 from Seattle and probably with a large margin with Metcalf in the image. JSN did not profile as a prototype receiver of the NFL no. Smith-Njigba was 51 out of 116 receptors in the open score of ESPN, which measures the ability to separate a pass.

Unless Seahawks do not add a lot of profile to the project, JSN could be a border wr1 fantasy based only on the volume of the target. He should continue to be celebrated with short-term targets in 2025. Only nine widths in 2024 had more targets between 0-10 meters than Smith-Jjigba, which was in 25th among the receptors on the route, on short receptions.
