Browns | Quinshon Judkins regaining confidence Sat Jun 20, 04:40 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins appears to have regained his confidence and explosiveness on the field after suffering his serious injury during the 2025 season, according to head coach Todd Monken.
Link to storyFree-agent TE Pharaoh Brown (Cardinals) said he is interested in signing with the New England Patriots this offseason.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Jalen Tolbert was a favorite target for QB Malik Willis during offseason workouts and will likely be a candidate to start if he stays healthy, in the opinion of The Miami Herald's Omar Kelly.
| Footballguys view: There is a slight drumbeat to what we're hearing about Tolbert this offseason. The Dolphins' passing attack relies on Willis progressing as a passer. There is perhaps more fantasy meat on the bone with guys like Tolbert than some would currently think. Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley said the team's passing offense is "a work in progress." Put a pin in this, and circle back during the preseason to see if this OTA storyline continues. |
Buffalo Bills WR Joshua Palmer (ankle) participated in some team drills during the mandatory minicamp this week.
| Footballguys view: Palmer is competing to be the no.3 receiver on the Bills' depth chart behind DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir. He should be pushed for that job by Keon Coleman (and others) in training camp. |

Buffalo Bills DE Michael Hoecht (Achilles) was able to participate in individual drills during the mandatory minicamp.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills QB Josh Allen said he plans to work out with some of his offensive teammates leading up to training camp.
| Footballguys view: This time of year, it's incredibly common for quarterbacks to get their receivers together for a passing camp of sorts. Allen is checking the box as he prepares his team to make another deep postseason run in 2026. |

Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington is becoming more than just a weapon out of the slot,' according to head coach Jeff Hafley. 'I think he's getting better as a route runner,' Hafley said.
| Footballguys view: Washington's game is all about explosion and run-after-the-catch ability. Earlier reports out of Dolphins camp this year indicated Washington seemed to be picking up the offense faster than the other receivers. We'll see what kind of noise he can make in training camp and the preseason as Washington's connection with QB Malik Willis should be monitored closely. He's a WR6/deep flex for Fantasy GMs, but the upside is there for him to be more. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck said he has been putting in 13-hour days at the team facility to try to learn the offense. 'I've been here a ton, been around the guys, been around the coaches, meeting and trying to learn everything as quick as possible,' Beck said.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick for the Cardinals in the 2026 NFL Draft, Beck could be the future franchise quarterback. He was successful at two major programs in college (Georgia, Miami), and Beck is seen as a high-end game manager in the pros. Beck begins his pro career as the no.2 quarterback behind Jacoby Brissett. There is also the speculation that the Cardinals would be interested in Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby in the Supplemental Draft. Stay tuned. |
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels said he still has a 'long way to go' to learn offensive coordinator David Blough's system.
| Footballguys view: The Blough offense is going to be much different from the Kliff Kingsbury offense. There should be an emphasis on play-action passing, and they should use more 2-3 tight end sets this year. With more West Coast concepts, that means more rollouts for Daniels, which can open up options for him down the field. If healthy, Daniels is a top-10 fantasy QB1 in 2026. |
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren will be an even bigger part of the offense in 2026, according to head coach Shane Steichen. 'He was pretty good last year,' Steichen said. 'But yeah, continuing to grow and continue to make plays like he's doing.''
| Footballguys view: More Warren is good news for the Colts and bad news for opponents. Warren led the Colts with 112 targets as a rookie, so expect that large number to grow even more in his second season. He's worked on his route-running ability this offseason, and Warren is a clear-cut TE1 for Fantasy GMs in 2026, and it won't be a surprise to see him finish in the top-5 at his position. |
Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey appears to have fully recovered from the torn labrum in his shoulder, according to head coach Sean Payton.
| Footballguys view: Harvey is a key cog for the Broncos' offense. He's the "1A" for the Broncos alongside JK Dobbins in the backfield. While Dobbins gets work on the ground, Harvey is proven as a red-zone threat (12 touchdowns as a rookie in 2025) and receiving back. From a fantasy perspective, Harvey is an RB3/flex option with his current role. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will likely be the starting running back when the 2026 season begins, in the opinion of AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Love was the no.3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft coming out of Notre Dame, and he's got Jahmyr Gibbs-like ability in the NFL. He's currently in a cramped backfield, but Tyler Allgeier should be the no.2 back for the Cardinals, and James Conner might be on another team by the trade deadline. Love is a high-end RB2 with clear upside. |
Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray appears to be the frontrunner in the competition versus QB J.J. McCarthy for the team's starting quarterback position, according to ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert. Murray is believed to have a slight edge because of his elite running ability and capability of varying the speeds and trajectories of his passes. However, both players split reps with the first-team offense at OTAs and McCarthy has demonstrated a firmer grasp of the Vikings' complex offensive scheme in recent weeks.
| Footballguys view: Seifert isn't known for hyperbole, so Murray looks like the no.1 quarterback as the league takes a break before the start of training camp. McCarthy, a 2024 first-round pick, should have an edge when it comes to understanding the offense, but that's not going to win him the job automatically. Reports indicate Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell is not going to take the entirety of camp and the preseason to make his decision. If the season began today, Murray would likely be the starter. We'll see if McCarthy can change that. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Ty Simpson is expected to serve as the team's No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart behind Matthew Stafford, according to ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop. Head coach Sean McVay said the Rams do not intend to pursue a veteran backup this offseason but have also not ruled it out. QBs Stetson Bennett and Matthew Caldwell are the only other quarterbacks on the roster.
| Footballguys view: The Rams made waves when they selected Simpson with the no.13 overall pick, but he's clearly a player they see as the 'guy behind the guy.' The current guy is a future Hall of Famer (Stafford), and Simpson won't see the field unless Stafford is banged up. They're putting the extra reps into the development of Simpson. A veteran quarterback competing for the no.2 job would only rob him of some of those opportunities. |
Stetson Bennett IV player page
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson reportedly entered spring practices as 'the clear favorite' to be the team's No. 1 quarterback for the 2026 season, although QB Shedeur Sanders has 'bridged the gap somewhat,' according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler, who added that the competition is unlikely to be resolved until after preseason games have gotten underway.
| Footballguys view: Get ready for a summer full of Watson vs Sanders updates. It's always going to be the preseason that determines the starter. Watson is the seasoned veteran, but he's far from the player he used to be. Sanders flashed a bit as a rookie last year, but he's far from a finished product. At this time, Watson has the leg up in the competition, but this thing is far from over. |

Undrafted free-agent WR Lawrence Keys (Bills) signed with the Detroit Lions Friday, June 19. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals TE Tip Reiman (ankle) is expected to be an important part of the team's offense once he recovers from his injury, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
Link to storyTennessee Titans DT Jeffery Simmons agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the Titans Friday, June 19, worth $105.8 million. The extension includes $100 million in guaranteed money.

New Orleans Saints DE Cameron Jordan signed a one-year deal with the team that has a guaranteed salary of $7.5 million.

San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones said he has been focused on repeating his success from last season. 'But the challenge is to do it again this year and really not compare the two,' Jones said. 'Every season is different and I've learned that probably better than anybody. I feel like it's time to stack some good years here.'
| Footballguys view: Jones is back for his second season with the 49ers. He looked good starting in relief of Brock Purdy last year (2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions in eight games), and Jones is set to earn a big contract as an unrestricted free agent in 2027. The Shanahan system is perfect for Jones, so if he's called upon again this season, he should be able to play at a high level. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton said he is excited to play in offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system. 'I like it a lot,' Hampton said. 'Really all the running backs like it a lot. Getting in the groove of it, just figuring it out, figuring out the details of it. I feel like it's gonna be super good for us.'
| Footballguys view: McDaniel compared Hampton to HOF Broncos RB Terrell Davis, which is obviously high praise. Like Davis, Hampton has intent and power as a runner - especially when at full speed. Hampton's rookie season was cut short due to injury, but the ability is there for him to be one of the best in the league. Fantasy GMs are over-the-moon already about Hampton, so you'll have to pay up to secure him on your fantasy team. While he might end up being an RB2 with upside this year, Hampton is getting drafted as a low-end RB1. |
Free-agent QB Taysom Hill (Saints) has not had much contact with the New Orleans Saints this offseason, but head coach Kellen Moore is not ruling out the possibility of Hill re-signing at some point.
| Footballguys view: The odds are somewhat shaky that Hill finds an NFL team before the start of the regular season. Whether that's with the Saints or another team (Broncos?) has yet to be determined. It sounds like Moore is open to the idea of bringing the versatile TE/QB back to the roster. |
Taysom Hill player page
Chicago Bears WR Zavion Thomas was able to make plays during offseason workouts and can be involved in the passing games for years to come if he can become comfortable with the offense, according to QB Caleb Williams.
| Footballguys view: Thomas is incredibly dangerous with the ball in his hands, both as a receiver and as a return man. The Bears wanted to add more YAC to the passing game, and Williams should love how Thomas performs in that department. Thomas is gadget player, but he could push Kalif Raymond for the no.3 spot at the wide receiver position behind Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. |
Los Angeles Chargers fourth-round draft choice WR Brenen Thompson signed a four-year contract with the Chargers Thursday, June 18. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Thompson is one of the most explosive skill position players in this draft class. Even though he has a slight frame (165 pounds), Thompson is blazing fast and can cut on a dime. New Chargers OC Mike McDaniel should be able to craft many ways to use Thompson's speed and quickness to attack a defense. The rookie's speed helps to stretch the field while guys like Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston do much of the work in the passing game. |
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston said he is excited about playing in offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system because it is similar to what he did during his college career.
| Footballguys view: All Chargers are excited about this offense! Yes, with mandatory minicamps wrapped up around the league, we have entered the 'more fluff' mode of the offseason. All kidding aside, like Omarion Hampton (and others), Johnston should be incredibly excited. McDaniel is a much more dynamic designer than Greg Roman, so the Chargers should look more innovative on offense in 2026. We like Johnston as a WR4/5 for Fantasy GMs this year. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor led the league with 323 carries and was one of 11 running backs to play in all 17 games last season. Head coach Shane Steichen said the team is aware of it and plan to use RBs Seth McGowan and DJ Giddens to supplement Taylor. 'I think he led the league last year in carries, but talking to him after the season, he said he felt good,' Steichen said. 'But yeah, obviously he's a hell of a player. It's hard to take him off the field when he's running so good, but getting Seth (McGowan) in the fold and DJ (Giddens) and see how those guys come along in training camp, and we'll go from there.'
| Footballguys view: He's a top-tier running back, and there's no doubt Taylor will continue as an RB1. That's what makes him one of the first few backs off the board in fantasy drafts. Even though guys like Giddens and McGowan might pick up a bit more work if/when Taylor needs a breather, we don't see it greatly impacting his workload - or his fantasy value. |

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs has incorporated mixed-martial arts into his training routine. 'It helps with body control,' Gibbs said. 'Your base and all that and faster hands,' Gibbs told ESPN. 'I would say with blocking, I get my hands up before they hit me.'
| Footballguys view: Many players in the NFL turn to unconventional training during their pro career. Gibbs is just trying to keep his game at the highest level, and this sort of training can help do that. He's a no-brainer top-2 pick in every fantasy league, and Gibbs can be relied on as a set-it-and-forget-it starter. |

New Orleans Saints PK Tanner Brown received a two-year, $1.97 million deal with $36,000 guaranteed.
Link to storyUndrafted free-agent QB Sawyer Robertson (Baylor) is not expected to sign with the Denver Broncos after participating in their mandatory minicamp on a tryout basis.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Bub Means (undisclosed), WR Mason Tipton (undisclosed) and WR Devaughn Vele (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, June 17, according to ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) said he is open to signing with the Washington Commanders this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Diggs is now free and clear to play. Earlier this month, the NFL concluded that there was "insufficient evidence to support a finding of a personal conduct policy violation" for Diggs. With no suspension looming, some team - perhaps the Commanders - should have interest in the veteran receiver. |

New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (ankle) said he will not change his play style even though he suffered a serious ankle injury during the 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo is a powerful runner who thrives on contact. Even after his ankle injury as a rookie, Skattebo is going to continue as a battering ram for the Giants offense. He should be the lead back with Tyrone Tracy working to spell him from time to time. |
Dallas Cowboys WR Romello Brinson was waived Thursday, June 18.

Washington Commanders RB Rachaad White impressed the team's coaching staff during the offseason program, according to the Athletic's Ben Standig.
| Footballguys view: White signed with the Commanders in March to give them veteran depth at the position. Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt is in line for a larger role, but White could provide the team with pass-catching ability out of the backfield. The Commanders also drafted Penn State RB Kaytron Allen in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, but he's firmly behind Croskey-Merritt and White on the depth chart. |
Free agent OT Reid Holskey (Giants) signed with the Denver Broncos on Thursday, June 18. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Link to storyFree agent RB Ian Wheeler (Saints) signed with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, June 18. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Link to storyFree agent WR Denzel Mims (Jets) signed with the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, June 18. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Mims played with the Dallas Renegades in the UFL this season, and he now gets another chance to play in the NFL. He's got a size/speed combination, but the former second-round pick (Jets, 2020) has never played up to his potential. |

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider is promoting Willie Schneider and Matt Berry to the role of assistant general manager on Thursday, June 18, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys C Matt Hennessy (neck) was placed on season-ending IR after neck surgery.
Link to storyCincinnati Bengals WR Colbie Young is in the mix to be the team's No. 3 receiver, according to offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher. 'I think he's going to fight and battle,' Pitcher said. 'He's a young player, but there are things that I think he can do quickly and help us.'
| Footballguys view: Young, a fourth-round pick out of Georgia, has the upside to be a star "X" receiver when fully developed. Everyone compares him to Courtland Sutton, and like Sutton he is a big body that can play above the rim. Young will compete with Andrei Iosivas for the no.3 spot behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. |
Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle has been involved in the passing game at all levels of the field during minicamp, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Waddle has been dazzling at Broncos camp this offseason. He can be the centerpiece of a passing game that led the NFL in passing attempts last season. The team needed more playmakers, and Waddle gives them their most explosive option. For Fantasy GMs, Waddle is a mid-range WR2 with the upside to work his way towards WR1 numbers. Catching passes from Bo Nix in a Sean Payton offense is a huge upgrade for Waddle. |

New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson 'appears to be in mid-season form' based on his performance during minicamp, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is looking sharp while still dealing with "meh" quarterback play (at best). This year, the Jets are going with Geno Smith as their starter and Wilson should be his favorite target. That makes Wilson a mid-range WR2 with the upside to be a weekly WR1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Goodson has been 'impressive' while working as the No. 3 running back during minicamp, according to Will McFadden of AtlantaFalcons.com.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons signed Goodson in late March as a depth piece in the backfield. They have Bijan Robinson as their starter, and he's a no-brainer RB1 for Fantasy GMs. Behind him is Brian Robinson, and the veteran brings a ton of power to the room. Goodson is looking for scraps behind those two, but it sounds like he'll be reliable if injuries strike the depth chart in front of him. |
New Orleans Saints TE Oscar Delp was the 'top target' for the offense during team drills at minicamp Tuesday, June 16, according to Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net.
| Footballguys view: Let's put this in the "offseason drumbeat" folder for the Saints. Delp has incredible speed down the middle, and he's the type of player who should have a better pro career than a college career. He spent time behind Brock Bowers at Georgia, and Delp never really blew up the stat sheet in the Bulldogs' run-heavy offense. With the Saints, Delp will get to develop behind Juwan Johnson this season. We love him in dynasty formats. |
Tennessee Titans WR Wan'Dale Robinson caught eight passes from QB Cam Ward during practice Wednesday, June 17.
| Footballguys view: The Titans signed Robinson in March, and he's a player that can make big plays for his quarterback. It sounds like Robinson is building quality chemistry with Ward at practice. We'll see if that continues into training camp and the preseason later this summer. With rookie WR Carnell Tate getting a lot of attention from opponents, Robinson should perform like a WR3 for Fantasy GMs. |
Updating previous reports, New Orleans Saints DE Cameron Jordan's one-year deal is worth a maximum of $11 million. The base value is $7.5 million ($6.15 million signing bonus and $1.35 million base salary) with $3.5 million in sack incentives.
| Footballguys view: Jordan is back for his 16th season with the Saints. This incentive-laden deal saves the Saints cap space while giving the veteran an opportunity to earn more money. We'll see Jordan as a part of the Saints pass-rushing rotation. |
