It's the NFL's annual cut day, as teams must pare their rosters from 90 to 53 players, meaning more than 1,000 players are being sent to free agency by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday -- though many of these will subsequently be re-signed to their respective teams' practice squads. Rarely do these transactions carry a fantasy impact upon the higher rankings tiers, but sometimes these tough decisions do have a ripple effect upon rosters, often shaking things up in the later rounds of drafts or in deeper leagues (12 or more teams).
