Travaris Cadet is re-signing with the Bills, according to Adam Schefter.

Schefter says it’s a one-year deal for Cadet, who suffered a bad leg injury by both fracturing his leg and dislocating his ankle on Christmas Eve versus New England. Now, he’ll return to a backfield that also added Chris Ivory, but perhaps he’ll carve out a role giving LeSean McCoy the occasional break on third down. Cadet will probably only be a fantasy option in very deep PPR leagues this season.

LeGarrette Blount scores in Eagles’ playoff win.

Blount carried six times for 21 yards and one touchdown versus the Vikings, with his score coming on a goal-line carry that he pounded into the end zone after breaking a tackle. The big bruising back will now face the team he won a Super Bowl with last season when the Eagles take on the Patriots in Super Bowl LII. It’s pretty cool to play in the Super Bowl in two straight seasons with two different teams.

Tavon Austin will remain with the Rams in 2018.

Reporters were saying that Austin would be cut for weeks now, but Vincent Bonsignore of the Los Angeles Daily News says the speedy receiver restructured his contract and will remain with the team. Perhaps Sammy Watkins leaving in free agency impacted things, but either way the eighth pick in the 2013 draft will remain with the team that drafted him. We’ll see what happens throughout the offseason and training camp, but Austin could potentially have a bigger role at receiver now that Watkins is in Kansas City.

Latavius Murray handles just eight touches in 38-7 loss to the Eagles.

The Vikings fell behind big in the first half to Philly in the NFC Championship, so they were forced to abandon the run in the second half. Murray finished with six carries for 18 yards and caught two passes for 11 yards. Latavius played great this year after taking over for the injured Dalvin Cook, but he will be a backup in 2018 with Cook healthy, which makes him a trade candidate. If he remains in Minnesota, Murray would be an elite handcuff and change-of-pace option, making him worth a late-round pick in fantasy drafts.

The Jets officially signed running back Isaiah Crowell.

According to reports, it’s a three-year deal in which the Jets can easily cut Crowell after this season with no cap repercussions. Crowell will join Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire in the backfield, so he has limited fantasy upside in what is likely to be a committee.

Jay Ajayi gets 21 touches in Eagles’ NFC Championship victory.

Ajayi ran well against Minnesota’s stingy defense, running hard and gaining 73 rushing yards on 18 carries. He also added three receptions for 26 receiving yards. Ajayi didn’t get into the end zone, but he led the backfield rotation and will continue to do so in Super Bowl LII against the Patriots. He’s familiar with New England from his first two seasons with the Dolphins, but he didn’t face them this season before getting traded to Philadelphia.

Jimmy Graham has officially signed with the Packers.

With the start of the new league year, the former Saints and Seahawks tight end was able to sign the contract with Green Bay. Graham has certainly found himself with great quarterbacks, as he’ll now catch passes with Aaron Rodgers after playing with Super Bowl winners Drew Brees and Russell Wilson in his first two stops. Clearly, Graham has double-digit touchdown upside with the Packers, and he’ll likely be deployed in a similar way around the goal line as he was last season with the Seahawks when he was basically unstoppable on jump balls and back-shoulder throws. Graham will be an obvious TE1 in all 2018 fantasy drafts.
