Brock Purdy Sleeper Fantasy NFL Pick: More Than 258.5 Passing Yards
Purdy lit up the Chicago Bears last week to the tune of 325 yards passing, completing 20-of-25 passes against a decent secondary.
Tonight he runs up against a Rams defense that is NOT that great and Purdy has the playmakers to at receiver to do some damage in this matchup. Purdy had no issues in this matchup earlier this season where he completed 22-of-30 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns.
The injuries at the running back position also continue to pile up with Isaac Guerendo expected to play but not at 100%. This could in turn lead to the 49ers needing to throw the football a lot more in this matchup where we have a 48.5 game total and the 49ers are thee-point home favorites.

Matthew Stafford Sleeper Fantasy NFL Pick: Less Than 242.5 Passing Yards
The Rams passing attack has certainly looked a lot better with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp both healthy but I'm going with the under on the passing yards for the Rams this evening. Los Angeles is on the road, it's a short week with a divisional opponent. I think we see a heavy dose of Kyren Williams tonight as the Rams look to control the clock and keep the 49ers offense off of the field.
It's not that I don't think Stafford can have a good game, I just think we may be looking at him coming in just under the mark here this evening.

Player News
Dolphins signed No. 13 overall pick DT Kenneth Grant to a four-year contract.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Grant will sign his contract today. The former Michigan defensive tackle is expected to fill a major void left by Christian Wilkins, who left for the Raiders in the 2024 offseason. Grant totaled 32 tackles, three sacks, and seven TFLs in his final season at Michigan and excelled at stopping the run while also generating 27 pressures in his final season, per PFF.
Beat reporter John Hendrix reports that free agent WR Donovan Peoples-Jones is among the 16 players that the Saints will host for their rookie minicamp.
Peoples-Jones last played regular season snaps with the Lions back in 2023, when he caught 13-of-24 targets for 155 yards. He is highly unlikely to return to fantasy relevance at this point but could perhaps sign on as a special teams contributor.
Titans signed fourth-round pick WR Elic Ayomanor to a four-year contract.
Ayomanor will now begin learning behind Calvin Ridley. Although Ayomanor is unlikely to find a meaningful role in year one, dynasty managers should note his status as training camp gets underway this summer. The former Stanford receiver flashed big-play ability in his two college seasons.
Buccaneers signed seventh-round pick WR Tez Johnson to a four-year contract.
Johnson will serve as a rotational deep-threat option for Baker Mayfield. His thin frame (5'10/154) simply does not lend itself to the repeated hits one incurs in a full-time role. Johnson did earn 100-plus targets in his two seasons at Oregon, though. His big-play style make him a better fit in best ball for now, pending any major on-field breakthroughs.
Giants waived DT Casey Rogers.
Rogers was a 2024 undrafted free agent and logged 33 defensive snaps for the Giants in his rookie season. He is credited with zero tackles and/or sacks. He may find his way onto another roster as a practice squad option.
Vikings signed third-round pick WR Tai Felton to a four-year contract.
Felton is quietly in play to challenge Vikings No. 3 WR Jalen Nailor in training camp. Nailor (5'11/190) caught 28-of-42 targets for 414 yards and six touchdowns in his first season as a starter last year, with the latter category buoying his fantasy productivity. Felton (6'1/183), meanwhile, caught 96-of-143 targets for 1,119 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 2.32 yards per route run in his final college season. Fantasy managers should monitor Felton’s training camp reports this summer, as he could have a matchup-based WR5 role if everything falls into place.
