Corey Davis is signing with the Jets.

The former fifth overall pick by the Titans back in 2017, Davis has had somewhat of an inconsistent run through four seasons. However, the Western Michigan product had his best season in 2020, catching 65 passes for 984 yards and five touchdowns while looking as confident as ever and flashing No. 1 receiver ability. Davis is just 26 years old and can develop into the top target for the Jets, though 2020 second-rounder Denzel Mims is also an emerging player.

The Jaguars are signing Carlos Hyde.

Hyde had a brief stint with the Jaguars in 2018, and now he’s back with the new regime led by his former college coach Urban Meyer. Considering the familiarity and the talk that the Jags wanted to add around James Robinson in the running back room, Hyde could potentially have a sizable role in 2021. Hyde turns 31 in September, but he’s run the ball well over the past two years in Houston and Seattle.

The Jaguars are signing Phillip Dorsett, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Dorsett had a lost season last year with Seattle, but he’s now healthy and is an intriguing addition to Urban Meyer’s offense. Dorsett will stretch the field and could be an interesting fantasy option—particularly in deep leagues—if he forms a connection with presumptive No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence.

The Patriots are signing Kendrick Bourne.

Bourne is reportedly getting a three-year, $22.5 million deal as the Pats continue to reshape and add to their roster. Bourne joins Nelson Agholor and Jonnu Smith as two new targets for Cam Newton (or another quarterback) in 2021. Bourne can use his quickness to create separation and get open, which is clearly something Bill Belichick and company are looking for during free agency.

Rob Gronkowski is re-signing with the Buccaneers on a one-year, $10 million deal.

This is probably the least surprising signing of the offseason, as Gronkowski has flat-out said he’d be returning to play for the Bucs again in 2021. Coming off a two-touchdown performance in Super Bowl LV, perhaps Gronk will be more involved as a receiver all season next year. Considering Gronk was only going to play with Tom Brady, it’s somewhat of a surprise that he was able to get $10 million from Tampa Bay—but he’ll make a huge impact as a run blocker even if he’s not lighting it up as a receiver.

Nelson Agholor is signing with the Patriots.

It’s reportedly a two-year, $26 million deal. Agholor is coming off an eye-opening 48/896/8 line from last year, averaging 18.7 yards per reception as a major big play threat for the Raiders in his first season away from the Eagles. The 27-year-old is extremely talented with untapped statistical potential to become a 1,000-yard receiver, and the hope is that New England will continue using him as a premier playmaker like Jon Gruden did in 2020. Keep in mind that Agholor terrorized Bill Belichick’s defense in Super Bowl LII, catching nine passes; so that probably stuck with the Pats. Quarterback play will be key, but Agholor should be used in a variety of ways for a team that’s clearly being very aggressive to get back among the league’s best this season.

The Packers tendered Malik Taylor.

The 2019 undrafted receiver will be entering his third season of spending time with the Packers, so it’s good news that Green Bay likes what they see. From a fantasy perspective, Taylor is just a deep-league dynasty option for now.
