Washington wide receiver Jalen McMillan has a pre-draft visit scheduled with the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday. McMillan was a three-year starter in college and is projected to be a Day 2 selection in the upcoming NFL draft next week. The 22-year-old ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis in February and also has good size at 6-foot-1, 203 pounds. In his career with the Huskies, McMillan had 164 receptions for 2,143 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns in 38 games played. Even though Cincy still has Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins around, they are expected to take a receiver in this year's draft. They have three Day 3 picks, including two third-round picks at Nos. 80 and 97.
Former Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt has had eight total visits or private workouts with teams since the 2024 NFL Combine, according to Tom Pelissero. He visited with the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns this week, and several other teams are interested in him. Pratt could find his way into the third round of this month's draft after throwing for 9,611 yards, 90 touchdowns, and 26 interceptions in four collegiate seasons. The 22-year-old posted a 21-3 record over the last two seasons and could have sleeper potential as at least a backup quarterback to monitor in Superflex or two-QB leagues.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are re-signing running back Chase Edmonds to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, according to a source. Edmonds will return to Tampa in 2024 as a backfield complement to Rachaad White, who should continue to command most of the running back touches for the Bucs in 2024. The 27-year-old Edmonds played in only 13 games in his first year with Tampa in 2023 and had just 49 carries for 176 yards and no touchdowns, adding 14 receptions for an additional 81 yards through the air. Unless White suffers an injury, Edmonds will be little more than a deep-league handcuff in fantasy. The Buccaneers also have Sean Tucker in the RB room and could add to the position in the upcoming NFL draft.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to an undisclosed three-year deal to re-sign kicker Chase McLaughlin on Monday, according to a source. McLaughlin will stay with the Buccaneers after going 29-for-31 on his field-goal attempts and 33-for-33 on his extra points in 17 regular-season games. The 27-year-old's success rate on field goals last year set a new single-season record, so it's no wonder why Tampa wanted the kicker back for another go-round in 2024 as their primary kicker. From a fantasy perspective, McLaughlin finished as the No. 16 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points in 2023. The Bucs offense should remain largely the same this year with quarterback Baker Mayfield and top wideout Mike Evans sticking around, so McLaughlin should enter the year as a matchup-based streamer at the kicking position in fantasy.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has reached a three-year extension with the organization. The former No. 1 overall pick has agreed to a three-year, $100 million extension. The deal reportedly includes $50 million in guaranteed money and Mayfield can earn up to $115 million over the next three seasons. This is a well-earned extension for Mayfield who did fantastic in his first year with Tampa Bay. Mayfield threw for over 4,000 yards with 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while leading the team to a postseason victory. The Bucs have already brought back Mike Evans and now Mayfield as they look to defend their division title.
