Eagles | Michael Carter II seeing work in dime defense Sun Jun 7, 04:27 PM
Philadelphia Eagles S Michael Carter II has been seeing work with the first-team defense in dime situations, but he is no splitting work with S Marcus Epps, who remains the top safety in nickel packages.

Eagles | Andy Dalton, Tanner McKee battle for QB2 job Sun Jun 7, 04:23 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QBs Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee are in a heated battle to serve as the primary backup to starter QB Jalen Hurts. The Eagles could try and trade McKee to a team in need of a quarterback this summer.
| Footballguys view: The #3 quarterback will presumably be fifth round pick Cole Payton. He has some Taysom Hill usage potential, but is also a long term project who could be an option down the line if Jalen Hurts doesn't click with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Payton is an elite athlete and would generate a lot of fantasy value with his legs if he ever gets a shot. He also went to North Dakota State, like Eagles Super Bowl Champion Carson Wentz. |

Philadelphia Eagles LB Jihaad Campbell (shoulder) is still recovering from offseason surgery to repair the left labrum in his shoulder. LB Jeremiah Trotter Jr. has been taking first-team snaps in offseason practices as a result.
Link to story Eagles | Dallas Goedert to remain big part of offense Sun Jun 7, 04:17 PM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert will remain a big part of the offense, and his usage isn't expected to be impacted much despite the departure of WR A.J. Brown (Patriots).
| Footballguys view: The Eagles could use more two tight end sets if second round Eli Stowers - a converted quarterback who is almost as impressive athletically as Jets first round pick Kenyon Sadiq, but a more functional receiver with length at the catch point. In any scenario, Goedert will outproduce his ADP, the only question is how much. |

Broncos | Courtland Sutton not worried about role Sun Jun 7, 04:14 PM
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton said he is not worried about sharing targets with WR Jaylen Waddle. 'The targets will come,' Sutton said. 'I always say, the ball is going to find you no matter what, you just need to go out there and do your job.'
| Footballguys view: Sutton will be the top red zone target in any scenario, and it is clear that Bo Nix has the best chemistry with Sutton of any of the returning Broncos receivers. Sutton is right that targets will come, especially in key game situations, because he has been so good at doing his job with Denver. |

Chiefs | Jalen Royals taking advantage of reps Sun Jun 7, 04:14 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Jalen Royals has performed well in his additional reps with the first-team offense during OTAs, according to head coach Andy Reid. 'He looks strong out here and is running well. It's great for him and the quarterbacks to see what he is all about on repeated reps,' Reid said.
| Footballguys view: The 2025 fourth round pick was having a good first training camp but knee issues slowed him down at the beginning of the season. He has a similar skillset to Rashee Rice and the team could see him as a future replacement with Rice's unreliable off-field profile. Royals shouldn't be on the waiver wire in dynasty leagues and could become a consideration in redraft leagues if Rice has any problems getting back in action after spending time in jail following knee surgery in May. |
Eagles | Saquon Barkley to see uptick in receptions? Sun Jun 7, 04:07 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley could be in line for more working catching the ball out of the backfield, thanks to the departure of WR A.J. Brown (Patriots). He was targeted just 50 times in 2025, and 43 times in 2024. In his final two seasons with the New York Giants, he had 136 total targets. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion could look to use Barkley more in pass-catching situations to offset the loss of Brown.

Jaguars | Josh Hines-Allen looks to build on success Sun Jun 7, 03:18 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars DE Josh Hines-Allen has collected at least eight sacks in each of the past two seasons, but he is looking to get back to his 2023 form which saw him record a franchise-record 17.5 sacks. He sees a jump in production possible in 2026 in his second season with defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile. 'I think the sky's the limit for myself this year,' Hines-Allen said. 'Year 2 [in a new defensive system] I feel like is always going to be the biggest jump.'

Broncos | Alex Palczewski not expected to start Sun Jun 7, 02:54 PM
Denver Broncos OT Alex Palczewski started 10 games at left guard in 2025 after OG Ben Powers (biceps) went on the reserve/injured list. However, Powers and the rest of the starting offensive linemen are back from last season, so Palczewski isn't in line now to start in 2026. However, he was regularly inserted for Denver's jumbo lineup when a sixth offensive lineman was used.

Dolphins | Jason Marshall Jr. moving back outside Sun Jun 7, 02:32 PM
Miami Dolphins CB Jason Marshall Jr. will be moving back outside, after moving to nickelback in his rookie season out of necessity due to numerous injuries in the secondary. 'Primarily he has and will be on the outside for us, and I think he's done a really good job,' coach Jeff Hafley said. However, Marshall has still taken some reps on the inside this offseason. He is expected to compete for a starting job, with DBs Julius Brents and Storm Duck in the mix, as well as Christopher Johnson, Darrell Baker Jr. and Marco Wilson in the mix.

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle disguises routes well Sun Jun 7, 01:43 PM
Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle is fitting in with his new team, and drawing praise from the coaching staff and teammates for his quick starting and stopping, and for his route running. 'I think his ability to make every route look the same is pretty important,' S Talanoa Hufanga said. 'As a defender, when you can make a 10-yard stop look like a go, a 10-yard dig (route) look like a go, a 10-yard out-route -- it's just, everything looks the same. And it puts pressure on your backpedal, as a DB.'
| Footballguys view: Waddle could be a focal point of the Broncos pass offense right away if he and Bo Nix are on the same page and the team is creative with their usage of their big offseason acquisition to push for a Super Bowl while Nix is on a rookie contract. Waddle could get off on the right foot in the season opener against Kansas City, which will likely be #6 pick Mansoor Delane's first NFL start. |

Steelers | Jalen Ramsey draws lofty comparisons Sun Jun 7, 01:24 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey has been compared to Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Woodson by secondary coach Joe Whitt Jr. and head coach Mike McCarthy. 'The way we used Charles Woodson in Green Bay,' said Whitt. 'He played the star. He played corner. He played safety. He played the money. He did all of those things. Charles could do it all in one game. He's one of the rare guys that can do it. Jalen has a similar skill set, similar size, similar speed. I'm just excited to see how we work with him and the way we use him.'

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs will be leaned upon heavily Sun Jun 7, 01:10 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs will see a majority of the carries out of the backfield following the trade of RB David Montgomery to the Houston Texans during the offseason. 'He's going to be our bell cow now,' head coach Dan Campbell said. 'We're going to hang our hat on him quite a bit. We're going to do a lot of things we feel like he does well. I've mentioned this before, he can run everything that we've got. He can run every scheme that anybody's ever run.'
| Footballguys view: Gibbs is neck and neck with Bijan Robinson for #1 pick in fantasy drafts. Robinson also saw his running mate and sometimes touchdown vulture Tyler Allgeier leave in the offseason, but Gibbs is in the better offense and is trending towards being the most common 1.1 pick this year. |

Buccaneers | Cody Mauch's knee feeling fine Sun Jun 7, 11:40 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT Cody Mauch (knee) has completed the rehab process for his surgically-repaired knee and said that he is not experiencing any psychological or physical concerns. He is continuing to wear a knee brace for protection but claimed that its presence did not bother him while he worked out during recent OTAs. In addition, Mauch will be playing at a weight of 325 pounds this year, compared to a playing weight of 315-318 pounds for the 2025 season, but feels that it will not impact his mobility.
| Footballguys view: Mauch only played 138 snaps last year. He was one of four Bucs offensive linemen to miss significant time in 2025. With better injury luck, the offense should improve from the slump it entered after Baker Mayfield got banged up against the Lions in Week 7 last year. |
Panthers | Tershawn Wharton not close to returning Sun Jun 7, 11:07 AM

Patriots | Kayshon Boutte will attend mandatory minicamp Sun Jun 7, 10:58 AM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte will be in attendance for the first day of mandatory minicamp Tuesday, June 9, despite recent trade rumors. He had not been present for the Patriots' voluntary offseason program last month.
| Footballguys view: Boutte mostly played at the same outside X receiver spot that AJ Brown occupies. Hopefully the team moves Boutte around the formation (and Brown for that matter) to find a way to get the just turned 24 year old on the field in the last year of his rookie contract. Boutte could also be a midseason trade candidate if the Patriots just can't find snaps for him and want to recoup something before he leaves in free agency. |

49ers | SF could have interest in Maxx Crosby Sun Jun 7, 10:33 AM
Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby could be of interest to the San Francisco 49ers, if the Raiders decide to move him this offseason, according to Vincent Bonsignore of the New York Post. Multiple league sources believe that the framework for a deal could include a 2027 first-round draft pick, a 2028 second-round draft pick and DE Mykel Williams for Crosby.

Link to story Chiefs | Coaches impressed with Xavier Worthy Sat Jun 6, 04:43 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy has performed well during offseason workouts and seems to be more comfortable entering his third season, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: Worthy can fly down the field with blazing speed, but it takes more than that to make plays at the wide receiver position in the pros. Receivers usually take three years to get going in the NFL, so Worthy is certainly a player who could post better-than-expected numbers in 2026. Wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea said he has been impressed with how Worthy has been catching the ball during workouts. |
Falcons | Extension coming for Bijan Robinson? Sat Jun 6, 03:54 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson has been talking with the Falcons about a contract extension, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Both Robinson and Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs are set to get new contracts...and they'll both be resetting the market. Speculation abounds that Gibbs could get rewarded with a deal that pays him around $20 million annually. There is no doubt that Robinson will be in that same ballpark once his new deal is finalized. |

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.
| Footballguys view: Warren is a dangerous player with the ball in his hands. His development is one to be watched and admired as he could be the next great tight end in this league. Fantasy GMs are expecting Warren to produce as a top-5 tight end in 2026. |
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.
| Footballguys view: This matches earlier reports about Thomas. Jaguars HC Liam Coen wants to go deep a bit more, and that's where Thomas comes in. We'll be monitoring his chemistry with QB Trevor Lawrence throughout training camp and the preseason. |
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. |

Link to story 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. |

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. |
