Kenyan Drake signed his transition tag.

This was essentially just a formality, as Drake was nearly a lock to return to Arizona after David Johnson was traded to Houston. The dynamic running back should offer a ton of upside in 2020 fantasy drafts.

Emmanuel Sanders is signing with the Saints, according to ESPN’s Josina Anderson.

Sanders will head to New Orleans on a two-year deal, and he will immediately step in as a big piece on an explosive offense. Michael Thomas will obviously soak up targets as a high-end WR1, but Sanders is a great fit behind him as a guy that can make tough catches in traffic or get behind the defense to potentially connect on a Drew Brees deep ball. The position is loaded in 2020 (especially once the rookies all have teams), but WR2 value is possible for the veteran.

The Patriots are signing Dan Vitale.

Vitale was reportedly close to a deal with New England, and now it’s official. The former Packer should fit right in with the Patriots, and he’ll help lead the way for Sony Michel and the running back group this season.

The Panthers signed Seth DeValve.

DeValve will likely work in tandem with Ian Thomas in Carolina’s offense, but he’s not a recommended dynasty league hold in standard-sized leagues at the moment.

The Browns acquired Andy Janovich from the Broncos.

Janovich will now help pave the way for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt in Kevin Stefanski’s new offense in Cleveland, but he’s not likely to be a fantasy asset in 2020. In real life, this should give a boost to a Browns offense that’ll want to run the ball often.

The Steelers are signing Eric Ebron, according to Ian Rapoport.

It will be a two-year deal worth $12 million, and Ebron likely saw Pittsburgh as a good opportunity to be a big offensive factor with Ben Roethlisberger throwing passes. Last season was a disappointment for the former first-round pick, but this is a great landing spot for him to potentially bounce back, and TE1 value is certainly possible if he can overtake Vance McDonald as the clear No. 1 option for the Steelers.

The Broncos are singing Melvin Gordon, according to Stephen Watson.

Gordon’s 2019 holdout leads him to a new team, as he’ll go from Los Angeles to Denver. The Pro Bowl runner will turn just 27 next month, and he’s one of the NFL’s most underrated players as a versatile running back that runs with power and speed along with plus ability as a receiver and pass blocker. Including his holdout season last year, Gordon has touchdown totals of 9, 14, 12, and 12 over his past four years, so he’s undoubtedly one of the top touchdown-makers in the NFL. The Broncos will now have perhaps the best one-two punch in the league with Gordon and Phillip Lindsay in the backfield, but this signing is unfortunately a big blow for those who own the latter in dynasty leagues. Gordon will remain a threat for double-digit scores and should be drafted as an upside RB2.
