Titans | Carnell Tate working on learning offense Sun Jun 28, 05:47 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate said he will be working on better understanding the offensive system leading up to the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Tate grabbed headlines early in the offseason with some dominant practices, but free agent pickup Wan'Dale Robinson followed offensive coordinator Brian Daboll from the Giants, and there has also been talk about expanding his role from previous levels. There's also the issue of whether Cam Ward will take a step forward in his second year. We'll be monitoring Titans camp report to see if Tate or Robinson, or both should be on your draft target list. |
49ers | Jake Tonges could see larger role early Sun Jun 28, 03:50 PM

NFL | Several teams interested in Jadeveon Clowney Sun Jun 28, 11:39 AM
Free-agent DE Jadeveon Clowney (Cowboys) is being monitored by several teams, according to league sources. The Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers could be interested in him, with one anonymous NFL executive believing that he will sign with the Packers, given that DE Micah Parsons (knee) will be sidelined for several months.

Texans | HOU tight ends to see bigger offensive role Sun Jun 28, 10:52 AM
Houston Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley said that he wants to give the team's tight ends an increased role in the offense in 2026, after they fought through various injuries last season. TE Dalton Schultz missed Houston's playoff game due to a strained calf, TE Cade Stover was sidelined for an extended period after breaking his foot in the season opener and TE Brevin Jordan sustained a torn patellar tendon in training camp, leading to the Texans deploying OT/TE Blake Fisher as their main blocking tight end.

Colts | DJ Giddens improving Sat Jun 27, 03:12 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens has a better understanding of the offensive system and showed growth during offseason workouts, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: Giddens can currently be seen as the no.2 RB for the Colts behind Jonathan Taylor. With Taylor being incredibly durable, Giddens was only able to get 26 carries last year as a rookie. Giddens has the physical skill to compete at the pro level, and he'll have to beat out Seth McGowan in training camp for the backup job. |
Patriots | Kyle Williams may not have consistent role Sat Jun 27, 01:20 PM
New England Patriots WR Kyle Williams may not be a consistent weekly part of the passing game this upcoming season unless there is an injury at receiver, in the opinion of NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry.
| Footballguys view: Adding AJ Brown to the mix will move guys down the pecking order, and Williams is one of those guys. Williams has been working on his game this offseason, hoping to improve his game in the middle of the field. He's got speed and skill, but the second-year pro is competing for a spot at the end of the bench. Williams is likely their no.5 or no.6 receiver on the depth chart. |
Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett contract negotiations to continue Sat Jun 27, 11:48 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett continues to seek a reworked contract, according to head coach Mike LaFleur, who noted that both sides will engage in negotiations before training camp opens July 22.
| Footballguys view: We'll see if the two sides can get something done before the start of training camp. Brissett's dissatisfaction reportedly stems from his current deal only containing $1.5 million of guaranteed money for the 2026 season. Deals get done at deadlines, and after an offseason where the reports about movement were virtually non-existent, it's good to get a bit of news. |

Jets | Adonai Mitchell locked into role? Sat Jun 27, 10:25 AM
New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell has 'solidified himself as the No. 2 receiver' with his performance this spring, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Earlier reports indicate that Mitchell has "budding chemistry" with QB Geno Smith from offseason work. Jets OC Frank Reich believes Mitchell can be a perfect complement for the team opposite of Garrett Wilson. From a fantasy perspective, there's more value here with Mitchell than some would think. Consider him as a WR7/deep flex play, and get the TUMS ready in what should be a tumultuous passing game. |
NFL | DeAndre Hopkins knows his role Sat Jun 27, 10:25 AM
Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins said he doesn't need to 'force' himself into a big role to be effective for a team. 'I know in my position, I'm a utility guy,' Hopkins said. 'I'm a special situation kind of guy. I can go out there and beat anybody one on one at any time, but as of lately, I've been a third-down guy.'
| Footballguys view: Hopkins is in that part of his career where he's just going to bring what he can. No longer the dominant receiver of the past, Hopkins played 17 games last year for the Ravens but only grabbed 22 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns. If/when injuries strike in training camp, Hopkins should get some attention on the free agent market. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase in a league of his own Sat Jun 27, 10:25 AM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase leads the NFL with 352 receptions and 4,335 receiving yards since the start of the 2023 season.
| Footballguys view: Chase is arguably the best receiver in the league, and others may not have much of an argument. Through a 2025 season that saw him play with multiple quarterbacks, Chase still posted over 1,400 receiving yards. With a healthy Joe Burrow (hopefully) for the full season, Chase's numbers could get back near his 2024 totals (1,708 yards, 17 touchdowns). He's likely everyone's no.1 wide receiver in fantasy football. |

Cardinals | Michael Wilson hoping for new deal Sat Jun 27, 10:25 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson said extension talks are 'going great' and that he is hopeful to remain with the Cardinals moving forward. 'That being said, I also do love the Cardinals organization and I truly do want to be one of those guys that plays for one organization their whole career,' Wilson said. 'That is a goal of mine, and how cool would it be?'
| Footballguys view: Earlier this offseason, Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort said Wilson "is about everything we want in our program to be about, and hopefully he is here for a long time." This year, Wilson is likely to play the "Z" receiver for HC Mike LaFleur. Giving Wilson clean releases makes him even more dangerous, and we like considering him as a flex play with plenty of upside. |

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. in top form Sat Jun 27, 10:25 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. was the 'most impressive offensive player' during spring activities, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The arrow is pointing way up for Thomas, and all reports indicate his offseason is going great. In fact, some of the best news we've seen reported is that Thomas and QB Trevor Lawrence have worked on their chemistry. Thomas had a down season in 2025, but he could be in for a big year as the team enters year 2 of the Liam Coen era (and offense). He's a WR3 with upside to easily work his way into WR2 territory. |
Browns | Nick Chubb open to return Fri Jun 26, 04:45 PM
Free-agent RB Nick Chubb (Texans) is not ruling out the possibility of signing with the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Chubb played last year with the Texans, and he turned in a decent season with 122 carries, 506 yards rushing, and three rushing touchdowns in 15 games. He's no longer the stud runner he used to be, but a team looking for veteran depth should be considering Chubb. The Browns have Quinshon Judkins as their starter, but perhaps reuniting with Chubb would be something they consider. |

NFL | CFL will not allow Brendan Sorsby to sign Fri Jun 26, 02:19 PM
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is being blocked by the CFL from signing with any of its teams in 2026.
| Footballguys view: The NFL did not move forward with a supplemental draft for Sorsby, so he's running out of options. If he wants to play football this season with the hopes of being selected in the 2027 NFL Draft, Sorsby may have to do it at an even lower level of competition. He may just choose to sit out for a year and train while his agents work on his PR and NFL interest. |
Colts | No contract talks for Jonathan Taylor Fri Jun 26, 02:19 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is hoping for a contract extension, but the Colts have shown 'little initiative' when it comes to contract discussions, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Taylor has expressed his interest in being a "Colt for life" but so far there seems to be no signs of an extension. Reporters around the team suggest there is real debate as to whether or not Taylor will be with the team past the 2026 season. |

Texans | C.J. Stroud finding a rhythm Fri Jun 26, 02:19 PM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud has shown a different comfort level with the offense throughout the spring, according to offensive coordinator Nick Caley.
| Footballguys view: There have been plenty of positive reports about Stroud this offseason. Are these reports fluff, or is this a drumbeat Fantasy GMs should pay attention to? We feel it's the latter, and Stroud could provide value as a QB2 or superflex option. |
C.J. Stroud player page
Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence locked in Fri Jun 26, 02:19 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence had the best spring of his career, according to head coach Liam Coen. 'He's got such a grasp for it that you're hopeful that it allows him to just go be him and go be the best version of himself as we saw so much towards the back half of the last year and taking growth from that,' Coen said.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence really hit his stride last year in the second half of the season. He and Coen seem to be a great combination, and we expect the Jaguars to only get more dangerous on offense this season. That makes Lawrence a QB1, likely to finish in the top-10 at the position. However, there's a chance he could finish in the top-5 or even as the no.1 quarterback in fantasy football. |

Eagles | Hollywood Brown expected to be deep threat Fri Jun 26, 02:19 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Hollywood Brown is expected to be used as a deep threat for the Eagles this upcoming season if he can stay healthy, in the opinion of EaglesWire's Glenn Erby.
| Footballguys view: Brown is a seasoned veteran who can take the top off the defense. With DeVonta Smith set to be the main cog in the Eagles' passing game, Brown should help open things up and get a few opportunities here and there. Brown is working to be the team's no.4 receiver behind Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, and rookie Makai Lemon. That means there's not a ton of fantasy value with the veteran. |

NFL | DeAndre Hopkins not in rush to sign Fri Jun 26, 02:19 PM
Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins (Ravens) said he would like to sign with a contender but will not rush to sign with a team because he does not think he needs to be a superstar during the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Hopkins is in the 'ring chasing' portion of his career. If he signs with a contender, the role may be for nothing more than veteran depth. Last year with the Ravens (17 games), Hopkins only had 22 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns. He's unlikely to be much of a fantasy factor when he does get a new team. |

Link to story NFL | Zach Ertz update Fri Jun 26, 11:50 AM
Free-agent TE Zach Ertz (knee) said he's in a good spot in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. 'We're like five, almost six months now from surgery,' Ertz said. 'Just training every day, doing everything I can to get back to where I was. It's a long process. There's some long days, there's some long weeks, some long months... it's tough, but we're just trying to stack these days right now.'
| Footballguys view: Ertz tore his ACL in Week 14 last year, and he's now looking for a new team. While he may not return to the Commanders (Chig Okonkwo is their starting TE), Ertz should get interest from a team in a championship window. However, we may have to wait and see if a job opens up in training camp or after the start of the regular season. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford ready to help rookie QB Thu Jun 25, 04:09 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford said he is ready to help QB Ty Simpson with different things with this upcoming season.
| Footballguys view: Simpson was a surprising pick by the Rams in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Reports out of OTAs suggest he's had trouble separating himself from Stetson Bennett, but that doesn't mean Simpson won't win the primary backup job to Stafford at some point in his rookie season. Simpson could be the future of the Rams at the quarterback position, and it sounds like Stafford will help as much as he can. |

Link to story Commanders | Brandon Aiyuk would sign with DC Thu Jun 25, 11:08 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk said he would sign with the Washington Commanders if the 49ers release him.
| Footballguys view: The speculation about Aiyuk ending up with the Commanders has been out there for some time. It helps the situation when former 49ers executive, and current Commanders GM, Adam Peters knows Aiyuk so well. The Commanders have Terry McLaurin as their top receiver, but adding Aiyuk (if healthy and motivated) would give QB Jayden Daniels another dangerous receiving weapon. Let's see if the 49ers release him (when they release him we should say), and then we'll see if the Commanders have interest. |

Ravens | Baltimore leaned on Zay Flowers Thu Jun 25, 11:08 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers' 1,211 receiving yards in 2025 accounted for 36.9% of the Ravens' total receiving yards, which was the second-highest percentage for any player.
| Footballguys view: We'll see if Flowers can do even more for the Ravens this year in terms of production. Ravens QB Lamar Jackson said new OC Declan Doyle's play calling is "mind blowing." With Doyle calling plays, we might see more from Flowers and TE Mark Andrews. Flowers could prove to be a value play as most Fantasy GMs see him as a mid-range WR2. With a better offense and a healthy quarterback, Flowers could beat the career-best numbers he had a year ago. |
Zay Flowers player page
Lions | Isaac TeSlaa showing poise Thu Jun 25, 11:08 AM
Detroit Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa has looked like a veteran during spring activities, according to head coach Dan Campbell. 'He is just consistent and where we expected him to be at this point, this time, for Year 2 is exactly where we want him, and I would say probably even a little bit more,' Campbell said.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs were excited about TeSlaa last year. The second-year pro is a valuable no.3 receiver for the Lions, but he's got upside that some may not realize. If injuries strike above him on the depth chart, TeSlaa could produce like a WR2/flex play. With his current role, we like him as a WR6/7 with stash appeal. |
Bears | Zavion Thomas showing potential Thu Jun 25, 11:08 AM
Chicago Bears WR Zavion Thomas took reps at punt returner during spring activities and has the potential to make an impact on offense, according to head coach Ben Johnson. 'If we can harness all of this energy and make sure that we can trust him and he's going to align where he needs to and run the route the way we need him to, that we really could use him and he could be a big weapon for us this year,' Johnson said.
| Footballguys view: Thomas was one of the most dangerous return men in college football at LSU, so it makes sense he's already flashing signs of big-time playmaking ability. Speed and quickness are the name of his game, and Johnson should be able to find a role for Thomas because of his natural skill set. Does Thomas currently have much fantasy appeal? Not really in most leagues, but we love his potential in dynasty formats. |
Packers | Josh Whyle working with starters Thu Jun 25, 11:08 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Josh Whyle took 'significant snaps' with the starters during offseason activities, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Tucker Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 last year, but he's expected to be a full go by Week 1. Whyle is getting a longer look with the starters because of Kraft's injury. Once Kraft is healthy, Whyle should play more of a reserve role (and split snaps with Luke Musgrave). |
Josh Whyle player page
Panthers | Chris Brazzell II making plays Thu Jun 25, 11:08 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Chris Brazzell II was an 'impact player' during OTAs and minicamp.
| Footballguys view: With his skill set, it's no surprise that Brazzell is able to impress. In fact, he could be a player that turns heads in training cap and the preseason too. The no.83 overall pick in this draft, Brazzell brings incredible speed and size to the field. He didn't run a full route tree in college at Tennessee, but Brazell can be a big-play option for QB Bryce Young. That gives him some 'what the heck' flex appeal in deeper leagues. |
Cardinals | Devin Duvernay to provide some juice Thu Jun 25, 11:08 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Devin Duvernay's speed is expected to add a 'dynamic element' to the Arizona return game and potentially the passing game, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Duvernay only lasted one year with the Jaguars, and the Cardinals were able to add him this offseason to give him another fresh start. He's got speed, but Duvernay is mostly a special teams player who can stretch the field on offense. The 'dynamic' he adds is mostly going to be on teams. |
Devin Duvernay player page
Packers | MarShawn Lloyd provides new element Thu Jun 25, 11:08 AM
Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd is more than just a complementary back to RB Josh Jacobs, according to running backs coach Ben Sirmans. 'Not only does he give you something alongside with Josh, I mean he can do things that the other guys can't, in terms of his speed and quickness,' Sirmans said.
| Footballguys view: Lloyd has talent, but injuries have robbed him of the chance to showcase his skill much at the pro level. This offseason, Lloyd has stayed healthy for the first time in the NFL. Not only can Lloyd be a quality backup, he could be a decent starter if he can stay healthy. With offseason legal trouble, Jacobs might miss time if the NFL decides to suspend him. That means Lloyd is a player all Fantasy GMs should monitor in training camp and the preseason. |
Lions | Terrion Arnold facing charges Thu Jun 25, 10:22 AM
Detroit Lions CB Terrion Arnold is facing multiple felony charges after he was arrested Wednesday, June 24, in connection with a robbery and kidnapping. He faces four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery, which carry a potential life sentence in prison.
| Footballguys view: The league will let the legal process move forward with these serious charges. Arnold released a statement through his PR rep saying he "categorically denies any involvement in the matter." We could soon see Arnold on the Commissioner's NFL Exempt List. |

Free-agent DE Joey Bosa (Bills) may have played his last game in the NFL but things can change, in the opinion of ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa cast doubt on his older brother Joey playing in the NFL in 2026 in May. Schefter provided more reason to think that the elder Bosa will not be signing with any team before Week 1. During his podcast, Schefter was asked about the prospect of the two brothers playing together and said, "It is more likely than not that Joey Bosa has played his last NFL down." Bosa had 72 sacks in nine seasons with the Chargers and had five sacks with the Bills during the 2025 season. |
