Cam Akers - RB

Los Angeles Rams

Coach Sean McVay said "we feel we've got three really good backs" while discussing the Rams' backfield.

McVay is referring to 2020 second-round pick Cam Akers, 2019 third-round pick Darrell Henderson and long-time backup Malcolm Brown. Todd Gurley only missed one game last season, and Brown worked well ahead of Henderson by playing 67% of the offense's snaps. Gurley otherwise commanded at least 70% of the offense's snaps in 10-of-15 games. Still, Brown was easily the more active backup, playing at least 20% of the offense's snaps in eight games compared to just two for Henderson. New OC Kevin O'Connell isn't a stranger to dealing with complicated RB situations after running the Redskins' offense in 2019. For now, we'd bet on Akers being the better fantasy value when it's all said and done, but Brown could offer some early-season value when also considering average draft position.

J. McCown - QB

HOU

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports the Texans are "targeting" Josh McCown and Lovie Smith as assistants.

The Texans were shredded for giving McCown a head-coaching interview over more qualified candidates, but all signs point to the former quarterback as being a future NFL coach. Being hired as a QBs coach or passing-game coordinator would be a reasonable start. Smith would bring a lot of experience to first-time head coach David Culley, and he's available after being fired by Illinois last December. The Texans have their offensive coordinator in Tim Kelly.

C. Wheeler - OT

SEA

Seahawks waived OT Chad Wheeler.

His career is over, as Wheeler announced on his Twitter that he's leaving football following his very public arrest after he decided to beat his girlfriend to a pulp. The 27-year-old essentially tried to kill his girlfriend (now ex) over the weekend, sending her to the hospital with a bloody and swollen face, among other injuries. Alleah, the victim, claimed Wheeler "thought I was dead on my bed and continued to eat dinner" before she got up and went to the bathroom when Wheeler replied, "Wow, you're still alive." This man needs help.

J. Witten - TE

Former Cowboys and Raiders TE Jason Witten announced his retirement from the NFL after 17 seasons.

Witten, 39 in May, is signing a one-day contract with the Cowboys to retire as a member of the team he spent his first 16 years with before joining the Raiders for the 2020 season. Witten was out of the league in 2018 when he joined ESPN's Monday Night Football booth, but that was a total disaster for both sides. He came out of his hiatus for two more playing seasons and ends his Hall of Fame career with 1,228 catches for 13,046 yards and 74 touchdowns. He turned in four 1,000-yard seasons and four others of 850-plus yards, never missing a game from 2004 forward. Witten made 11 Pro Bowls and was a first-team All-Pro twice. Witten made over $76 million in the NFL.

J. Goff - QB

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport's "understanding" is the Rams are "expected to have an open competition" at quarterback in training camp next summer, featuring Jared Goff and John Wolford.

RapSheet said that's "if" Goff remains on the roster, which is highly likely considering his contract. Wolford started two games for the Rams at the end of the season, "managing" L.A. to a win in Week 17 against the Cardinals, where he went 22-of-38 for 231 scoreless yards and an interception while leading the team in rushing with a 6-56 line. But he was hurt in the Wild Card start against Seattle, and Goff reclaimed the gig. It's clear the Rams aren't satisfied with Goff at all and are now realizing he's holding the team back. But Wolford isn't the answer. The Rams need to start taking their No. 2 QB spot seriously.

B. Dupree - LB

PIT

Steelers OLB Bud Dupree (knee) expects to be ready for training camp.

Dupree tore his ACL in early December. He's ahead of schedule in his rehab, but still seems likely to open camp on the active/PUP list and is questionable for Week 1. After playing last year on the franchise tag, the Steelers' cap situation could force them to move on from Dupree this offseason. Dupree will likely have to settle for another one-year deal to stay in Pittsburgh.

C. Wheeler - OT

SEA

Seahawks OL Chad Wheeler was arrested on assault and domestic violence charges.

Wheeler is accused of getting into a "physical fight" with his girlfriend. He was released Tuesday and is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday. The Seahawks are "aware of the situation and still gathering information." 27-year-old Wheeler is a restricted free agent this offseason.

C. Thompson - RB

JAC

The Florida Times Union believes the Jaguars will look to move on from free agent Chris Thompson.

Thompson played in only eight games before landing on IR with a back injury. He averaged four touches per week when healthy, playing 29 percent of offensive snaps. With a new coaching staff and a three-down back in James Robinson, the Jaguars should let Thompson walk this offseason.

A. Brown - WR

Bucs coach Bruce Arians doesn't expect Antonio Brown (knee) to practice this week.

Brown and SS Antonie Winfield are expected to sit out this week of practice. “I think it’s too early,” Arians said. “Neither one of those guys will probably practice and we’ll see how it rolls out next Tuesday for both of them.” The Bucs are also hoping to get FS Jordan Whitehead (shoulder) back in the next two weeks. All three players are up in the air for Super Bowl 55.
