Colts | Tyler Warren looking to improve Sat Jun 6, 03:27 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren said he has been working on being more explosive out of routes this offseason. 'Getting in the break is one thing, but being able to accelerate out of it and still you create the space, but being able to hold that space if you are running across the field ... I think it's big,' Warren said.

Jaguars | Brian Thomas performing well Sat Jun 6, 02:42 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. has been making plays during the voluntary workouts and said he is feeling healthy after dealing with injuries in 2025.

Dolphins | Caleb Douglas may return next week Sat Jun 6, 01:35 PM

Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas (undisclosed) suffered an injury during the mandatory minicamp, but head coach Jeff Hafley said Douglas will hopefully return to the field next week.

Footballguys view: Douglas, a third-round pick out of Texas Tech, is a player we are intrigued by in dynasty formats. He's a big receiver (6-feet, 4-inches tall) who can blaze down the field with 4.39 speed. Douglas has inconsistent hands and needs to learn how to use his frame better to box out smaller defenders, but the physical tools are there for him to be a weapon in this league. He will need time to hone his skills, but we see some Marquez Valdes-Scantling in his game when fully developed.

Bills | Michael Hoecht hopes to be ready for camp Sat Jun 6, 01:10 PM

Buffalo Bills DE Michael Hoecht (Achilles) has been working on the side during offseason workouts and hopes to be ready for the start of training camp.

Browns | Michael Hall back on field Sat Jun 6, 01:02 PM

Cleveland Browns DT Michael Hall Jr. (knee) said he has been able to return to practice after suffering a knee injury earlier in the offseason but is wearing a brace on his knee.

Broncos | Bo Nix to have larger role during minicamp Sat Jun 6, 11:33 AM

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) is expected to have an increased role during the team's three-day mandatory minicamp, which begins June 16, according to head coach Sean Payton. Nix did not participate in the team's first full week of organized team activities but had thrown in pre-practice sessions.

Footballguys view: There have been some misconceptions, a dash of mystery, and sometimes straight-up misinformation about Nix's ankle this offseason. The current plan, according to Payton, is to have Nix do more in mandatory minicamp in 10 days or so. Does that mean full participation? While that seems unlikely, we're not too worried about the young franchise quarterback. Once August gets here and the Broncos are in training camp, we expect Nix to be near full strength and fully participating.

Broncos | Jonah Elliss to remain at edge rusher Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM

Denver Broncos LB Jonah Elliss will not be moved from an edge rusher role to an inside linebacker spot on a regular basis because he is 'doing too well outside,' according to head coach Sean Payton. However, there may be a handful of defensive packages where Elliss will flex inside.

Raiders | Malik Benson showing promise Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM

Las Vegas Raiders WR Malik Benson has 'flashed his potential' during OTAs, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com.

Footballguys view: Benson can absolutely fly, as evidenced by five touchdowns last year for Oregon coming from 40-plus yards out, and he posted a 4.37 40-yard dash at the combine. Even though he's not a big receiver (listed at 189 pounds), Benson knows how to haul in contested catches, and he only had one drop last year for the Ducks. The sixth-round pick can immediately contribute on special teams as a return man while he learns the nuances of the pro game on offense.

Raiders | Vegas counting on Tre Tucker Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker has been a leader for the offense during OTAs, according to head coach Klint Kubiak. 'He's got to be a playmaker for us, and he has been,' Kubiak said. 'And now let's go see what else we can get out of him.'

Footballguys view: Tucker was primarily a boundary receiver for the Raiders in his pro career. Kubiak will have all the Raiders receivers moving around the formation, meaning Tucker will get some inside looks as well. With TE Brock Bowers gathering the attention of the defense on every snap, Tucker should be able to take advantage of coverage. For Fantasy GMs, Tucker has flex appeal as the no.1 wide receiver for the Raiders.

Falcons | Kyle Pitts impressing coach Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts has impressed head coach Kevin Stefanski. 'The physical skill set is obvious when Kyle is on the field and with how big he is and how he moves, but I've been impressed with how he is taking to what we're asking him to do and then a couple new things for him,' Stefanski said.

Footballguys view: Pitts signed his franchise tag earlier this year, and the Falcons may want to see how he fits in the new offense before committing to a long-term deal. Pitts said he will run "new routes" in Stefanski's offensive scheme this season. Stefanski is a coach who could get the best from Pitts, so he's clearly a TE1 for Fantasy GMs. However, his range of outcomes is anywhere from TE1 to TE12 in 2026.

Seahawks | Two RBs work with starters Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM

Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani and Jadarian Price share snaps with the first-team offense during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3.

Footballguys view: With Zach Charbonnet (knee) recovering, and Kenneth Walker in Kansas City, the Seahawks are working out their RBBC. This is a competition that should last through training camp and the preseason. Price, the first-round pick out of Notre Dame, is an exciting prospect with speed and field-flipping ability. However, recent reports suggested he may not be the bell cow right away. Instead, the team may use an RBBC with Holani until Price is ready for a larger workload. Price does have flex appeal as the lead back in this committee, with the upside to be more if/when he takes a larger role.

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs not worried about contract Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs said he is only focusing on his play and will let his agent handle the contract extensions.

Footballguys view: Gibbs is the bell cow for the Lions, and he's set to get paid as one of the best running backs in the league. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Gibbs could sign an extension averaging $20 million annually (or more) this summer. He's not worried about it, and like Thanos, a deal is inevitable. Stay tuned.

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield unlikely to hold out Sat Jun 6, 10:53 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is not likely to stage a holdout from mandatory minicamp, which begins on June 16, even though the two sides are not believed to be close to finalizing a contract extension. According to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler, discussions are in the early stages but Mayfield will not negotiate a long-term deal once training camp has started.

Footballguys view: The two sides are not close on a contract agreement, and Mayfield seems to have a self-imposed deadline for negotiations to be done before training camp. With the deadline closer to August, there's no need for Mayfield to hold out during mandatory minicamp. While he may not be quite what he used to be, Mayfield is still an above-average starter, and he should get compensated as such.

Lions | Campbell says Jahmyr Gibbs will be Lions' bell cow Sat Jun 6, 03:09 AM

After two years as a major contributor, Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was promoted to starter in 2025. Now, with the departure of David Montgomery, head coach Dan Campbell said the 2026 offense will revolve around Gibbs even more. '[H] e's going to be our bell cow now,' Campbell told reporters on Thursday.

Footballguys view: He's one of the best backs in the NFL, and Gibbs is likely to get a new contract that reflects his production and future potential. With David Montgomery traded to the Texans, Gibbs takes over and will produce as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. He's going off the board with the first or second overall pick in most fantasy drafts.

Bears | Logan Jones signs contract Fri Jun 5, 04:09 PM

Chicago Bears second-round draft choice C Logan Jones signed a four-year contract with the Bears Friday, June 5. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Texans | Marlin Klein missed OTAs due to injury Fri Jun 5, 03:25 PM

Houston Texans TE Marlin Klein missed OTA practices this week due to a hamstring injury. It is not considered to make him miss an extended time.

Footballguys view: A second-round pick out of Michigan, Klein is likely third on the depth chart behind Dalton Schultz and Foster Moreau. Klein has speed for the position and soft hands, but it will take time for him to get learn the pro game. We do appreciate his skill set in dynasty formats.

Vikings | Kyler Murray has been impressive in OTAs Fri Jun 5, 02:56 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray is making it 'make it hard to imagine' that he will lose the team's quarterback battle against QB J.J. McCarthy ahead of the 2026 season, according to Sports Illustrated's Will Ragatz.

Footballguys view: This is a competition that will go into training camp and the preseason. If Murray keeps impressing, the battle may not last long into August. McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024, has been below average seemingly every time he's been on the field for the Vikings. It's a make-or-break season for McCarthy, and Murray might win the starting job for the Vikings in 2026.

Cowboys | Malachi Lawrence signs rookie deal Fri Jun 5, 01:17 PM

Dallas Cowboys DE Malachi Lawrence signed his rookie deal on Friday, June 5, for four years, with a fully guaranteed $20.22 million.

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield not close on contract Fri Jun 5, 11:07 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield said he and the team aren't close in contract negotiations, and talks will end once the season begins.

Footballguys view: In the final year of his deal, Mayfield is looking for a new long-term contract. Mayfield is entering this season without WR Mike Evans, and he's coming off a season where he had 3,693 yards passing with 26 passing touchdowns. He may never get back to the 40-plus touchdown guy he was a couple of years ago, but Mayfield is a solid starter who should be able to get appropriate compensation.

Bears | Dillon Thieneman signs rookie deal Fri Jun 5, 11:04 AM

Chicago Bears first-round pick S Dillon Thieneman signed his rookie, four-year deal Friday, June 5. Financial terms weren't disclosed, but all first-round picks receive a fifth-year option.

Dolphins | Malik Willis has green light to run Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM

Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis' running ability will be incorporated into the offense, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.

Footballguys view: Willis is a runner, and it only makes sense for that to be a part of his game. Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik has a system that should work well with play-action passing and a rushing quarterback. We like Willis as a QB2 with upside, and his rushing ability means he could push for more fantasy points than some think.

Seahawks | AJ Barner has multiple surgeries Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM

Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner (undisclosed) said he had multiple surgeries over the offseason but will be 'ready to go' when training camp begins.

Footballguys view: Barner had calf, elbow, and hip injuries last year. He's feeling better now, and Barner should once again be a security-blanket target for Sam Darnold. We like him as a low-end TE2 from a fantasy perspective.

Seahawks | Cooper Kupp locked in Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM

Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp said he 'never for a second' considered retirement this offseason.

Footballguys view: Kupp was the Seahawks no.2 receiver last year, and he finished with 47 catches for 593 yards and two touchdowns. This year, Seattle should move Rashid Shaheed into the no.2 role and Kupp gets demoted to more of a no.3 role. That makes Kupp more of a 'what the heck' flex in certain matchups for Fantasy GMs.

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. clicking with QB Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and QB Trevor Lawrence have been putting in extra reps this offseason to improve their chemistry. 'We've put a lot of work in throughout all spring really of just trying to get the timing down, the chemistry, all those things, get on the same page, and it's starting to pay off,' Lawrence said.

Footballguys view: We love hearing this, and we'd love to see this chemistry continue into training camp and the regular season. Reports from Jaguars camp say they're going deep early and often with Thomas being on the receiving end of a lot of those passes. Per Jaguars HC Liam Coen, they did want to improve the deep passing and chemistry between Thomas and Trevor Lawrence.

Texans | Tank Dell seeing more work Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) has been more involved in the voluntary workouts as the offseason has gone on and is expected to do more when training camp begins.

Footballguys view: Good news for the Texans here, so long as Dell can stay healthy. Dell had been working off to the side with trainers as he comes back from another injury. Now, he's working in team drills with the idea he can do more later in the summer. Dell is a playmaker, but his injury history makes him a player to only monitor on the waiver wire from a fantasy perspective.

Dolphins | Seydou Traore inks rookie deal Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM

Miami Dolphins fifth-round draft choice TE Seydou Traore signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Thursday, June 4. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: In dynasty formats we are monitoring Traore because of his "F" skill set. He's a receiving tight end who can work in the middle of the field effectively. A member of the NFL's International Pathway Program, Traore is a former goalkeeper and has soft hands as a receiver. Traore has plenty of work to do in terms of development, but he's an intriguing prospect.

Cowboys | George Pickens not at workouts Thu Jun 4, 04:49 PM

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens was not present for the voluntary workout Thursday, June 4, but is expected to take part in the mandatory minicamp next week, according to NFL Network's Jane Slater.

Footballguys view: The workouts are voluntary, so we're not too concerned. When the work becomes mandatory next week, Pickens should be in attendance. Pickens already signed his franchise tag earlier this year, so he's fully guaranteed $27.3 MM for the 2026 season. We'll see if a long-term contract can be worked out before the start of the regular season.
