Seahawks | George Holani sees bulk of practice snaps Sat Jul 4, 11:26 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani received the bulk of the snaps with the first-team offense during the Seahawks' six full-squad practice sessions that were open to reporters, according to ESPN.com's Brady Henderson. Holani, Jadarian Price and Emanuel Wilson are expected to share playing time in the Seattle backfield while RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) recovers from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: Holani is squarely in Seattle's backfield plans for 2026 as he looks to build off his strong finish to 2025, when he performed well as a fill-in for Charbonnet. According to Footballguy Matt Waldman, Holani has agility, contact balance, and solid speed for his size. He has worked his way from undrafted free-agent status to potential playing time if he can hold off Wilson, as Charbonnet's projected early-season return is too optimistic. |

49ers | Mike Evans a red zone star? Sat Jul 4, 12:09 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans was 'unstoppable in red zone drills' during OTAs, according to TE George Kittle.
| Footballguys view: Kittle, who was integral in recruiting Evans to the Niners, told reporters that during one of the final OTAs, Evans caught "three to five" touchdowns, using his size and leaping ability to haul in score after score. This adds to a previous report indicating Evans is heading for an "alpha" role in his first season in San Francisco. It's not hard to argue that Evans' current WR27 ADP doesn't reflect that role. Assuming he's on the field all 17 games, we're paying for Evans' floor and totally ignoring the historically high ceiling. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert declining? Sat Jul 4, 12:05 AM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert averaged 39.4 receiving yards per game in 2025, his lowest average since his rookie season.
| Footballguys view: While the yardage totals were down, Goedert was a force in the red zone in 2025, catching 11 TD passes, a new Eagles single-season tight end record. But given the diminished per-game production, it's fair to wonder if that regression will be a continuing trend. Working in his favor? Jalen Hurts has proven that he truly trusts throwing to three players -- A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Goedert. Brown is gone. That helps Goedert. It's also possible he'll be invigorated by Sean Mannion's new offensive scheme, which worked in Tucker Kraft's favor in Green Bay last year. |

Eagles | Eli Stowers has work to do Sat Jul 4, 12:04 AM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Eli Stowers has 'a long way to go' as a blocker and will have to be used in a specialized role as a rookie, according to Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com.
| Footballguys view: Stowers was a high school quarterback who moved to tight end in college. The appeal is that he is an elite athlete who ran a 4.51 40, vertical leaped 45 1/2", and broad jumped 135". As Nick Sirianni said after the Eagles made the pick, Stowers can do things athletically that nobody else can. The downside is that Stowers is probably more of a big receiver at this point than he is a tight end. He has a long way to go as a blocker in the NFL. Given the long-term upside, Stowers' development is worth watching. |
Giants | Theo Johnson says TEs to be heavily involved Sat Jul 4, 12:03 AM
New York Giants TE Theo Johnson said the tight ends will be a big part of the passing game this upcoming season.
| Footballguys view: Johnson is credited with 859 yards and six touchdowns over his first two seasons in New York. The Giants signed former Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely this offseason as well, and the veteran should quickly shine alongside Johnson in 2026. Both Johnson and Likely have proven to thrive as pass catchers in the past. But likely, brought on board by his former head coach, John Harbaugh, is the target of fantasy interest here. |
Ravens | Competition still possible for Tyler Loop Sat Jul 4, 12:02 AM
Baltimore Ravens PK Tyler Loop could still face competition for the starting kicker job, according to head coach Jesse Minter. 'He'll continue to work over the summer,' Minter said. 'He'll continue to work in training camp. But we play in September, so I think that gives us a lot of time to be able to answer questions as they may come up.'
| Footballguys view: Loop's missed 44-yard kick cost Baltimore the AFC North title in a 26-24 loss at Pittsburgh. The Ravens were eliminated from the playoffs for the first time since 2021, and John Harbaugh was fired as head coach after 18 seasons with the team. Loop's ability to bounce back -- and the Ravens' faith in him to do so -- is among the biggest storylines surrounding the team. This spring, Loop has been the only kicker on the Ravens' roster. We'll see if it stays that way when camp opens. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans is considered an 'alpha type of player' for the team, according to offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak.
| Footballguys view: Evans was a regular participant in the team's offseason program, running routes and catching passes from quarterback Brock Purdy. At the team's final open OTA, Evans was front and center. In 7-on-7 and team drills, he made at least four catches, working the sideline, the middle of the field, and even getting a deep ball down the sideline from Purdy. Assuming he's the alpha in this offense, Evans' WR27 ADP and Round 5 price tag are appealing, especially considering he's finished as WR2 or better in 11 of his 12 seasons (including six WR1 finishes). |

Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. praised Fri Jul 3, 11:30 AM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (undisclosed) was praised by run game coordinator and tight ends coach Jeff Blasko for how he stayed engaged daily throughout the offseason program, learned the new offensive system and stayed diligent in understanding the details as he recovered from an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: Fannin ended his rookie season leading the Browns with 72 receptions -- the most ever by a Browns' rookie. He also finished second among all NFL rookies in receptions, tied for second in receiving touchdowns with six, and was fourth in receiving yards with 731. He recorded seven total touchdowns, including one rushing touchdown. His presence as a pass catcher, as well as in the run game and in protection, will play an important role in the overall success of the Browns' offense. Fannin is being drafted as TE5 in the sixth round. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert working to improve Fri Jul 3, 12:26 AM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert had an 'uneven' performance throwing the football during minicamp, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: New playcaller Mike McDaniel is challenging Herbert in ways he hasn't been in his pro career. That started with changing the QB's footwork and improving his anticipatory throwing. It will be a process, likely with ups and downs, throughout training camp. The Chargers believe the changes can unlock another level of Herbert, helping him "own the position," McDaniel said. Expectations are high. Herbert is being drafted as QB9 so far this year. |

49ers | Mac Jones on speed dial? Fri Jul 3, 12:25 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones will likely be the first player targeted in a trade if a team loses its starting quarterback to injury, according to James Palmer of Bleacher Report.
| Footballguys view: Bleacher Report's James Palmer also believes that the 49ers could "probably" get the other team to "overpay a little bit." A former NFL starter and first-round draft pick, Jones produced for San Francisco while making eight starts in place of injured starter Brock Purdy in the 2025 season. The 49ers added $300,000 in incentives to the final year of Jones' contract, which happens to be this upcoming season. They wanted to keep him happy after how well the offense fared with Jones at the helm. Assuming he's not traded, he'll be a coveted free agent next offseason. |

Giants | Coach happy with Cam Skattebo Fri Jul 3, 12:19 AM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo was praised for his running style by head coach John Harbaugh. 'He's a tough tackle,' Harbaugh said. 'That's what you look for. How many guys can make yards when they're not supposed to make yards on their own?'
| Footballguys view: Skattebo, coming off last year's season-ending ankle injury, insists he will be ready for the Sept. 13 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on a Sunday night at MetLife Stadium. He's confident to come back strong. "Week 1, I'll be ready to go," Skattebo said last month. Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. give the Giants two solid options at the position. But Skattebo is the player of most fantasy interest in this backfield, and it's not close. He's currently being drafted as RB19; Tracy is going as RB42 in Round 10. |
Broncos | Bo Nix productive late in games Fri Jul 3, 12:18 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix led the NFL with seven game-winning drives during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: An ankle injury ended Nix's season late in Denver's Divisional Round playoff win. He returned to the practice field for mandatory minicamp in June and told reporters that doctors deemed his ankle "as good as new." Coach Sean Payton said on multiple occasions during the offseason program that Nix should be a full participant by the start of training camp. Both Nix and Payton emphasized that the injury would not impact Nix's mobility. If he can continue to play at that high level, Nix could lead the Broncos to another postseason run -- and be a productive fantasy QB. |
Texans | Tank Dell may be lower on depth chart Fri Jul 3, 12:17 AM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell will likely be behind WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel at the start of the 2026 season since Dell has not played since 2024, in the opinion of The Houston Chronicle's Jonathan M. Alexander.
| Footballguys view: Dell, who was dynamic during his rookie season and had a couple of 100-yard games in his second season, will likely begin the year behind Higgins and Noel simply because he hasn't played since his December 2024 knee injury. Dell's progress in training camp will be worth watching. But Higgins was much better over the second half of the season than he was in the first half, and he'll likely build on that with more experience. And Noel has shown he can make big plays. The Texans will try to utilize him more. |

Texans | OC, C.J. Stroud improve communication Fri Jul 3, 12:16 AM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud has shown improved communication with offensive coordinator Nick Caley this offseason, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
| Footballguys view: The growth between Stroud and Caley throughout the offseason was evident for those around the organization. That's not inferring there was friction between the two during their first season together, but growing pains aren't uncommon in the NFL -- especially with Caley being a first-time playcaller. The team expects progress in Year 2 under Caley. The offense finished 13th in points (23.8) and 18th in yards (327), and Stroud finished last year with 3,041 passing yards and 19 touchdowns in 14 games (he missed three games with a concussion). We'll be watching the Texans' training camp for continued improvement. |

Browns | Nick Chubb unlikely to be option Fri Jul 3, 12:15 AM
Free-agent RB Nick Chubb (Texans) is unlikely to receive interest from the Cleveland Browns, in the opinion of The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.
| Footballguys view: According to various reports, the Packers, Seahawks, and Bills are seen as leading candidates to sign Chubb for depth and short-yardage roles. While a severe 2023 knee injury reduced Chubb's explosiveness, he showed flashes of effectiveness with the Texans in 2025. Chubb could provide veteran stability for teams with injured starters or unproven backups heading into the season. But it sounds like the Browns, who drafted Chubb in the second round back in 2018, won't be in the mix there. |

Bears | Caleb Williams looking to improve one stat Thu Jul 2, 04:24 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams said he expects to have a better completion percentage this upcoming season but is more interested in winning games.
| Footballguys view: This is the mindset a franchise quarterback should have. Much ado was made about Williams' completion percentage, to which his supporters have pointed to a league-high throwaway rate. Williams was among the best in deep-ball completion percentage last year, but struggled in the short and intermediate areas. Tightening up in those areas in the field can push Williams from being the middling QB1 he was last year to a top-three performer. |
Falcons | Jahan Dotson expects to have solid role Thu Jul 2, 04:12 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Jahan Dotson said he believes the Falcons will allow him to showcase his talents this upcoming season, according to The Athletic's Josh Kendall.
| Footballguys view: There isn't much in Atlanta behind Drake London and Kyle Pitts. Day 3 rookie Zachariah Branch is a good athlete, but he's heavily limited to designed touches. Dotson fits the Darnell Mooney archetype, a player who found a consistent role in this offense. Dotson's production will likely have a boom or bust nature to it, but he makes for a fun pick in the final round of best ball drafts. |
Saints | Jordyn Tyson pairs well with Tyler Shough Thu Jul 2, 03:21 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson pairs well with QB Tyler Shough based on his route-running ability, according to NewOrleansFootball.com's Nick Underhill.
| Footballguys view: Investing the eighth overall pick in Tyson, the Saints clearly liked the Arizona State product. He'll have a nice go early in his career, playing opposite Chris Olave. Olave should draw primary coverage, allowing Tyson to get open easier. Falling into the ninth round of fantasy drafts, Tyson could easily outperform his current cost. |

Link to story Seahawks | Jadarian Price showing receiving chops Wed Jul 1, 09:24 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price 'looked plenty capable as a pass catcher' during spring practices, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Price didn't amass many targets in college, but that was largely due to Notre Dame's system rather than a knock on his skill set. Price is a fluid mover who has soft hands, so this shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Especially with Zach Charbonnet expected to miss the early part of the year, Price could find a valuable role as the Seahawks' pass-catching back. |
Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love split reps Wed Jul 1, 08:47 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love took snaps with both the first and second teams during OTAs and minicamp.
| Footballguys view: Drafted third overall, the expectation is that Love handles the bulk of the work in the Cardinals' offense. James Conner is 31 and coming off a torn ACL. Trey Benson, despite his alluring athletic profile, hasn't done much so far in the NFL. Love could struggle behind the Cardinals' offensive line, but the volume and talent could push him into a valuable role. |
Seahawks | More to come from Rylie Mills Wed Jul 1, 08:24 PM

'I think you're definitely going to see more plays from him, more game time from him this year,' Williams said. 'He looks more confident on his knee, just looks more confident as a player.'

Cowboys | Javonte Williams has something to prove this year Wed Jul 1, 04:27 PM
Last year was a breakout performance in Javonte Williams' first season with the Cowboys. The Cowboys viewed Williams as a low-risk, high-reward option when they signed him last offseason to a one-year, $3 million deal. They then rewarded him prior to free agency this season with a three-year, $24 million extension. "It felt good," Williams said, "just knowing all my hard work paid off and I got a little bit of security. But I've still got a lot more to prove."
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys initially targeted Williams because they believed he could do well in Brian Schottenheimer's offense if he could stay healthy. They were right. He ran for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns. He averaged 4.8 yards per carry and averaged 3.56 yards after contact, which was good for fourth in the NFL. He finished the season as RB12. Can he do it again? Outside of re-signing Williams, the Cowboys didn't make any significant additions in their backfield. That's partly because they believe Williams could replicate his success as the team's feature back. He's currently being drafted as RB18. |

Patriots | DeMario Douglas a standout performer Wed Jul 1, 04:11 PM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas was a standout performer during the offseason workouts, in the opinion of Patriots.com's Evan Lazar.
| Footballguys view: Douglas had a great run-up to the 2025 season as well, before his slot snaps were reduced to play Stefon Diggs inside. According to Lazar, Douglas's quickness and speed to separate from man coverage stand out among the other receivers. The question is whether it translates in the regular season. The other question is whether there will be a consistent week-to-week role with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs at the top of the depth chart. |

Cowboys | Malik Davis may be No. 2 RB Wed Jul 1, 03:54 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Malik Davis seems to be the leading candidate for the No. 2 running back job this upcoming season, in the opinion of NFL.com's Kevin Patra.
| Footballguys view: While Davis the frontrunner, Dallas would love for Jaydon Blue to make a leap in Year 2 and snag a pass-catching role, providing a change of pace to Javonte Williams. The Cowboys could also look for Phil Mafah to take on more of a role. Dallas spent the offseason giving the two second-year backs more reps in the hope one would stand out. Coaches will likely curtail Williams' usage during training camp, allowing the youngsters to take on additional snaps and see who can take a step forward. Still, expect Davis to be the No. 2 until further notice. |
Bears | Caleb Williams will work on completion percentage Wed Jul 1, 03:37 PM
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams did well enough in the biggest moments to lead the team to a division title and a thrilling playoff win over the Packers last season. However, there are still those who feel Williams doesn't do enough in the more routine moments. That school of thought holds that completing 58.1 percent of their passes puts Williams and the Bears in a position to have to play from behind or in tight games more often than they would if he were more accurate over the long term.
| Footballguys view: During an appearance on Pardon My Take, Williams said that he's more concerned with "how they win games" than the numbers, but said the team will improve on that front anyway. "Obviously, I want to get the completion percentage up," Williams said. As PFT's Josh Alper suggests, Williams's point about winning against stats could be underlined by the fact that his completion percentage dropped while the Bears surged in 2025. Still, head coach Ben Johnson's goal is for Williams to reach a 70 percent completion percentage. Johnson views this mark as the benchmark for elite NFL quarterback play. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes 'trending towards' 11-on-11 work Wed Jul 1, 01:01 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) is 'trending towards' being cleared for 11-on-11 work at the beginning of Chiefs' training camp, in the opinion of Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer on Tuesday, June 30.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes has been in on installs, individual and seven-on-sevens through the spring. His arm has looked good, given how rehab has limited his throwing work over the past six months. But even if he's cleared for 11-on-11 work, the plan is to be smart here. Breer added the Chiefs know, given the competitor in question, once they tell Mahomes he can go, he will go; they'll likely pace him some early on. But he's in a good place, way ahead of the normal ACL/LCL rehab timeline. |

Rams | LA not in a hurry for Puka Nacua extension Wed Jul 1, 01:00 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua is eligible for a contract extension, but after trading for CB Trent McDuffie and DE Myles Garrett, the team doesn't seem to be in a hurry for any contract extensions, in the opinion of ESPN's Sarah Barshop on Tuesday, June 30.
| Footballguys view: The Rams have a strong group of extension-eligible candidates from their 2023 draft class, and Nacua is at the top of that list. It remains to be seen whether the Rams get ahead of those contract extensions or focus instead on the 2026 season. The latter appears to be the way they are leaning. A deal could certainly get done -- one that makes Nacua the top-paid player at his position -- but Nacua's situation is further complicated by recent off-field issues. Of course, none of this changes Nacua's status as a consensus top-five fantasy pick. |

Panthers | CAR not in hurry to jump market for Bryce Young extension Wed Jul 1, 12:59 AM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young is viewed as the long-term franchise quarterback in Carolina, but they are not in a rush to jump the market for an extension, which may not happen until next offseason, in the opinion of ESPN's Dan Graziano on Tuesday, June 30.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers picked up Young's fifth-year option for 2027 at $25.904 million, which was a no-brainer because it means they'll be paying him a total of $31.83 million over the next two years. But Graziano contends -- with Houston seemingly in no hurry with Young's 2023 draftmate C.J. Stroud -- there's no rush to jump the market and do a Young deal without seeing more. |

NFL | Brendan Sorsby will not pursue litigation against NFL Wed Jul 1, 12:58 AM
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby will reportedly not pursue further litigation against the NFL and focus on his preparation for the 2027 NFL Draft, according to a source on Tuesday, June 30.
| Footballguys view: The NFL will not discipline Sorsby for known misconduct but retains the right to investigate his conduct beyond what's in current public filings, an NFL source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It reserves the right to take college misconduct into consideration in setting discipline for future violations. In a statement released Tuesday, Sorsby said, "I accept 100% responsibility for my actions. I did not have control of my gambling problem, and it took getting caught for me to realize that, but it was truly the best thing that could've happened to me." So, that's it for Sorsby until 2027. |
Steelers | Darnell Washington drops 47 pounds Wed Jul 1, 12:57 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington revealed that he played last season at 311 pounds, according to a source, and even got as heavy as 330 pounds. A recent report has him at 264 pounds, and he is poised to be a 'weapon' in Mike McCarthy's offense.
| Footballguys view: Washington agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $42 million to remain with the team early in June. Thanks to his 6-7, near-300-pound frame, Washington has been used as a big red-zone target in Pittsburgh. There's no reason to believe the weight loss will be a limiting factor. Still, Washington's fantasy value is much lower than his "real football" value to the Steelers. |

Packers | Tucker Kraft extension could be reached before Week 1 Tue Jun 30, 04:48 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft and the Packers may get a 'lucrative extension' done before the season as both sides have stated their desire to go forward together, in the opinion of Rob Demovsky on Tuesday, June 30.
| Footballguys view: With deals done for Jayden Reed and Christian Watson this offseason, Kraft should be next up. But Demovsky acknowledges it could be complicated because of the torn ACL that ended his season in November. To that point, Kraft was one of the league's most productive tight ends with 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games. Nonetheless, a deal appears likely given that both sides have stated their desire to go forward together. Kraft, despite the knee injury, is being drafted as TE6 based on the expectation he'll be ready Week 1. We'll be watching for more. |

New England Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez could 'hold-in' if a contract extension isn't reached before veterans are scheduled to report to training camp, in the opinion of ESPN's Mike Reiss on Tuesday, June 30.
| Footballguys view: When Gonzalez met with reporters after the first day of mandatory minicamp on June 9, he was asked whether he would play this season without a new contract. The initial part of his answer was: "We got a long time to the season." The sides are expected to continue discussing an extension, with the next checkpoint coming July 24, when most veterans are scheduled to report for training camp. Gonzalez would face fines for not reporting, which would all but ensure a hold-in. |
