Lions | Sam LaPorta looking good for start of '26 season Wed Jun 17, 12:41 AM

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) is 'trending the right way' with his back injury, and is expected to be ready for the regular season, according to a Tuesday, June 16 report.

Footballguys view: LaPorta finished as the TE1 in fantasy in 2023, defying history when it came to rookie tight ends as fantasy producers. But he's slowed down since, pulling in a combined 100 passes for 1,215 yards and 10 touchdowns in 25 games over the past two seasons. Nonetheless, he was on track for a third straight top-10 finish at his position last year, and he finished seventh in points per game. So, even if you're not sure LaPorta has the upside to return to top-five form, his current TE8 ADP and seventh-round price leave room for upside.

Broncos | Bo Nix feels great; QB says he could play right now Wed Jun 17, 12:40 AM

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) said that bone spurs led to second ankle surgery, but 'I feel great,' according to a report from the Denver Post on Tuesday, June 16. Nix has participated in walkthrough drills and stated that he could play right now if he wanted.

Footballguys view: Losing Nix to injury in the divisional playoffs was a brutal blow for the Broncos. It was even more painful because Nix finished the season strong. Though he was 15th in QBR for the season (58.3), he registered a 66.3 from Week 13 on (the equivalent of ranking seventh). This year, with Jaylen Waddle joining Courtland Sutton at wideout and QBs coach Davis Webb taking over the playcalling, there's reason to believe Nix can continue his development. Remember, he's finished as QB8 and QB9 in fantasy the last two seasons. Nix is being drafted as QB15 this year.

Saints | Chris Olave off blood thinners at end of June Wed Jun 17, 12:35 AM

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave, who has not fully practiced since Week 17 of last season, will reportedly get off of blood thinners on June 29 to potentially be fully cleared for all football activities, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16. Olave has only done individual work during the Saints' offseason training program after missing Week 18 with a blood clot in his lung.

Footballguys view: The Saints' offense was effective with Tyler Shough under center in 2025, which opened the door for Olave to emerge as the fantasy player we've all been waiting for. In fact, he finished the season as WR6 after closing out the year with 20 or more fantasy points in his final three games. He hit career highs in targets (156), receptions (100), yardage (1,163), and touchdowns (nine). But this issue is one of the reasons he's being drafted as WR11 with the 27th pick overall. Drafting him as your second receiver could be a winning move.

Chargers | Ladd McConkey strains hamstring, expected to be ready for training camp Wed Jun 17, 12:31 AM

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey reportedly strained his left hamstring during the Chargers' offseason program, but doesn't view it as a significant concern and expects to be ready for training camp, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.

Footballguys view: "There's no reason to rush it and really push it and then have another setback, and then you bleed into training camp," McConkey told reporters. After what was perhaps the best rookie wide receiving season in team history, where he finished with 82 receptions, 1,149 yards, and seven touchdowns, McConkey took a step back in year two with lesser totals in almost every major category. He ended the 2025 season with 66 catches, 789 yards, and six touchdowns. Going into year three, he's planning for a bounce-back season. McConkey is being drafted as WR19 this year.

Titans | No issues with Cam Ward's shoulder Wed Jun 17, 12:30 AM

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward told reporters at minicamp that his shoulder is fine and he has no issues with it, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.

Footballguys view: Ward has had some accuracy issues at times during OTAs over the past couple of weeks, but the Titans' coaching staff isn't concerned. "Every quarterback is going to miss a couple here and there," first-year head coach Robert Saleh said. Still learning a new offense, Ward is also getting acclimated to new receivers Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson. Ward said there's a feeling-out process between himself and his new pass catchers that can only be eliminated by getting more reps. And he'll get plenty of those when training camp opens.

Jets | Darrell Jackson Jr. inks rookie contract Tue Jun 16, 04:33 PM

New York Jets fourth-round draft pick DL Darrell Jackson Jr. has signed his four-year rookie contract worth the slotted amount of about $5.6 million, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.

Chargers | Justin Herbert to throw during all three days of minicamp Tue Jun 16, 04:17 PM

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert will reportedly throw during all three days of this week's mandatory minicamp after taking multiple days off from throwing during OTAs, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.

Footballguys view: Herbert has been adjusting his footwork in an effort to get the ball out quicker, so now it's time to cement the new mind-body connection. This approach by new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel will help set up run after catch opportunities and help an offensive line that has potential weakness at both guard spots.

Chargers | Ladd McConkey 'working through something' Tue Jun 16, 02:42 PM

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is 'working through something,' according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. No further details were provided.

Footballguys view: There's no indications that this is anything to be worried about, but McConkey isn't known for his durability, so we'll be tracking this when training camp opens next month. He did reveal that it was a hamstring injury suffered during Phase 2 of the offseason program, so a recurrence in camp would be a red flag. Harbaugh also said that he and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel think McConkey could have a career year, so if you are in on McConkey, stay in on him.

Browns | Cleveland 'unlikely' to place Supplemental Draft bid Tue Jun 16, 02:32 PM

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is unlikely to have a bid placed on him in the NFL Supplemental Draft by the Cleveland Browns, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.

Footballguys view: The Browns are one of the teams that make the most sense for Sorsby, so we will take this report with a grain of salt. Perhaps new head coach Todd Monken wants to give Shedeur Sanders a chance to be the clear quarterback of the future, but as we've seen in the past with Cleveland, quarterback decisions aren't always made by the football operations employees.

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. still working his way back Tue Jun 16, 02:28 PM

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) has not yet been cleared for 11-on-11 work, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. He added, 'He's exactly where he needs to be.'

Footballguys view: Until Penix is healthy, the quarterback competition won't truly get underway in Atlanta. Hopefully both he and Tua Tagovailoa look like starting quality quarterbacks in camp to make Stefanski's decision more difficult, but enhance the value of the players in the Falcons offense.

Saints | Devin Neal rehabbing an injury Tue Jun 16, 02:26 PM

New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal is in the rehab process following a knee injury suffered last week, according to head coach Kellen Moore.

Footballguys view: Broncos 2024 fourth round pick Audric Estime looked good in place of Neal last season, and he's only 22, so this is a chance for him to show he deserves to make the roster whether the team keeps Alvin Kamara or not.

NFL | Brendan Sorsby applies to enter NFL Supplemental Draft Tue Jun 16, 01:21 PM

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has reportedly applied to enter the NFL's Supplemental Draft, according to a source on Monday, June 15.

Footballguys view: Which team(s) will bid a future pick to land Sorsby, and in which round(s)? That question will be occupying many football minds, but first we need to know whether the NFL will allow him to enter the supplemental draft. Cleveland, the Jets, and Minnesota are among the teams most commonly mentioned as possibilities anywhere from the second to fifth round, by the way.

Saints | Alvin Kamara reports for minicamp Tue Jun 16, 01:21 PM

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara reported for the start of the mandatory minicamp Monday, June 15.

Footballguys view: Kamara could get traded, get released (and possibly then retire), or just play for the Saints this season. Every day he shows up at the team facility is one day closer to the third outcome, but the first two will save the Saints money. If Kamara is a Saint come Week 1, that's a hit for Travis Etienne's fantasy value, especially in PPR leagues because Kamara's most likely role is as a passing down back.

Jaguars | Jacksonville pursued J.K. Dobbins Tue Jun 16, 01:21 PM

Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins was close to a contract agreement with the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason before deciding to re-sign with the Broncos, according to a source.

Footballguys view: This could be an indication that the Jaguars want to have a running back committee with a strong between the tackles runner to pair with Bhayshul Tuten. Chris Rodriguez Jr. is out after having foot surgery earlier in the offseason. He was the back the Jags pivoted to when they didn't land Dobbins.

Cowboys | Dak Prescott to be limited in drills Tue Jun 16, 01:17 PM

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer told the media on Tuesday, June 16, that QB Dak Prescott will be limited in team drills. He said it's nothing to be concerned about.

Footballguys view: We trust Schottenheimer here. Even if Prescott is limited at times in camp, he is a proven veteran, so we won't be inclined to reduce the Dallas passing game projections. Matthew Stafford has nursed a back issue in recent training camps, but otherwise was unaffected during the season, and Prescott deserves the same kind of faith we put in Stafford despite his age and physical condition.

Chiefs | Rashee Rice released from jail Tue Jun 16, 10:59 AM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice was released from jail Tuesday, June 16, after a 30-day sentence for a probation violation.

Footballguys view: If Rice is full go at the beginning of camp, we can probably restore him to his pre-incarceration ADP. He did have a cleanup knee surgery right before going in, so that's not a sure thing. 2025 fourth round pick Jalen Royals has flashed, but has also been inconsistent at times in place of Rice. It doesn't sound like the league is going to give Rice a suspension for his probation violation.

Broncos | RJ Harvey had offseason surgery Mon Jun 15, 05:02 PM

Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey (shoulder) underwent surgery this offseason to repair a torn labrum he suffered during the playoffs, according to sources. He was able to do some things during offseason workouts.

Footballguys view: While Harvey was able to mix into some drills, he did not do much team work as he works his way back, per Luca Evans of The Denver Post. As a rookie, the 2025 second-round pick totaled 193 touches for 896 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns. We'll continue to monitor, but this news doesn't have a significant impact on his outlook for now. Harvey will play behind J.K. Dobbins and will compete with rookie Jonah Coleman for the backup job.

Jaguars | LeQuint Allen to handle third downs? Mon Jun 15, 04:12 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen 'appears to once again be primed for a role on passing downs,' according to John Shipley of SI.com.

Footballguys view: Allen was one of the best pass blocking backs in the league - as a rookie - and he is not a scatback at 6'0", 204 pounds. He is an excellent receiver, who should get more targets in his second year, and he could surprise if injuries press him into duty on early downs. Keep him on your waiver wire speed dial at least until Chris Rodriguez is healthy.

Cowboys | Jaydon Blue stepping up Mon Jun 15, 04:12 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue was praised for his work ethic during OTAs by head coach Brian Schottenheimer, and Schottenheimer believes Blue has become a different player.

Footballguys view: This has been a steady drumbeat - along with Ryan Flournoy's progress while George Pickens missed voluntary practices - that we shouldn't ignore. Blue should get some manufactured touches in space and a handful of carries a game to get his speed into play. If Javonte Williams were to miss time, fellow 2025 draft pick Phil Mafah - who is also having a good offseason - would probably be the early down back, so Blue's upside in redraft leagues could be limited.
