Cardinals | Carson Beck could play in 2026 Sat May 16, 04:56 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck could see some playing time during the second half of the 2026 season if the Cardinals are not competing for a playoff spot, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss.
| Footballguys view: That would make sense if the rookie got out there in the latter half of the season. The Cardinals are in a rebuild mode (again), and Jacoby Brissett is their starter to open the year. When out of contention, the Cardinals can turn to Beck to see if anything is there long term. With a great quarterback class coming in 2027, the Cardinals could be in position to draft one with a premium pick. |
Raiders | Mike Washington could see early role Sat May 16, 04:06 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. should have a chance to earn a solid role as a change-of-pace back for the Raiders during his rookie season, in the opinion of Raiders.com's Levi Edwards.
| Footballguys view: Washington has a great size/speed combination. He's a powerful back who can punish defenders or run by them. Washington needs to be better in pass protection and ball security if he's going to play as a change-of-pace option behind Ashton Jeanty. |

Ravens | Justice Hill has good chance to be No. 2 RB Sat May 16, 02:18 PM
Baltimore Ravens RB Justice Hill will likely be the No. 2 running back for the Ravens in 2026 if he can show that he is healthy, in the opinion of BaltimoreRavens.com's Clifton Brown.
| Footballguys view: Hill is a seasoned veteran who can be relied on as a three-down player. He won't get on the field much unless Derrick Henry is banged up or needs a breather. That means his fantasy value would be low unless the opportunity changes - and then Hill could at least be an RB3/flex option with a larger role. Rasheen Ali and rookie Adam Randall will push Hill for the no.2 job. |

Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson expected to increase production in 2026 Sat May 16, 01:15 PM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to increase his production in 2026, in the opinion of Matt Legros of Patriots Wire on Saturday, May 16.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson will continue to work in tandem with TreVeyon Henderson, just like he did last season. In 2025, Stevenson finished the year as the no.22 fantasy back in standard-scoring leagues. Expect him to finish in a similar spot despite the speculation that he could see an increase in production. |

Texans | Woody Marks working on routes Sat May 16, 01:09 PM
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks said offensive coordinator Nick Caley has had him working on his route running this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Marks has big-play ability anytime he touches the ball. It would make sense for the Texans to have him work on his receiving ability. David Montgomery was added to work with Marks in an RBBC. With Montgomery likely the lead back, and Marks playing more of a receiving-back role, we could see Marks settling in as a deep flex play for Fantasy GMs. |
Browns | Denzel Boston looking to improve Sat May 16, 11:50 AM
Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston said he has been working on improving his quickness out of routes this offseason.
| Footballguys view: The big-bodied rookie can move around smaller defenders on contested catches. Working on getting in and out of his routes quicker will only make him better. The Browns' passing game is a bit of an unknown right now (is Deshaun Watson good anymore?), but we love Boston in dynasty formats. |
Steelers | PIT tried to move up to draft Makai Lemon Sat May 16, 11:25 AM
Former USC WR Makai Lemon was almost selected in the 2026 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 15th overall selection in the first round, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac. The pick belonged to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the two sides were close to finalizing a deal which would have allowed the Steelers to move up from the 21st overall pick but the Buccaneers instead selected former Miami (FL) LB Rueben Bain Jr., whom they had not expected to fall to them. The Philadelphia Eagles eventually chose Lemon with the 20th pick after moving up and the Steelers selected former Arizona State OT Max Iheanachor with the following pick.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles moved up to no.20 to select Lemon, and they couldn't get him on the phone because he was talking to the Steelers. If you snooze, you lose, especially when Howie Roseman is always lurking around looking to make deals. |
Patriots | Stefon Diggs open to returning Sat May 16, 10:58 AM
Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) 'would love' to re-sign with the New England Patriots this offseason but a deal with the team could be contingent on whether the Patriots are able to complete a trade for Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown, according to Albert Breer of SI.com.
| Footballguys view: Brown to the Patriots has been a thing for a minute, but no deal has yet come to fruition. Now that his signing won't impact compensatory picks, Diggs should find a new home before training camp. We'll see if that happens with the Patriots or elsewhere for the 2026 season. |

Packers | Micah Parsons may be PUP candidate Fri May 15, 04:42 PM
Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) is a candidate to start the 2026 season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Minnesota, the Jets, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Chicago, and Dallas would dodge Parsons if he starts the season on the PUP list. The Packers don't have another proven edge rusher after they traded Rashan Gary to the Cowboys in the offseason. We'll be monitoring the reports on 2023 first round pick Lukas Van Ness and this year's fourth round pick Dani Dennis-Sutton to see if edge rush help is on the way while Parsons is on the mend. |

Titans | Tennessee signs Anthony Hill Fri May 15, 04:16 PM
Tennessee Titans second-round draft choice LB Anthony Hill Jr. signed a four-year contract with the Titans Friday, May 15. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Hill is on track to be Robert Saleh's green dot linebacker after the Titans traded back into the second round to get him. He has a three-down skillset and should complement fellow Longhorn Cedric Gray well at inside linebacker in Saleh's 3-4 scheme. He's worth a late first or early second round pick in IDP dynasty rookie drafts. |
Steelers | Max Iheanachor signs contract Fri May 15, 04:09 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft choice OT Max Iheanachor signed a four-year contract with the Steelers Friday, May 15, worth $20.692 million, according to a source. The deal includes a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: Iheanachor has the highest ceiling of the first round tackles, but he is also the most raw. The Steelers have two excellent offensive line coaches in James Campen and Jahri Evans, and they have already started to focus on his hand usage. Don't expect to see Iheanachor much this year unless the Steelers have injury problems on the line, but he could be a starting tackle for them for years to come. |
Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka could see a production uptick Fri May 15, 03:10 PM
ESPN's Ben Solak thinks that Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka could lead the NFL in targets and receptions in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Third round pick Ted Hurst is slated to play at the "X" receiver position vacated by Mike Evans, so Egbuka can move back to his best spot at "Z" receiver or flanker, which is the wide receiver spot that can be moved around the formation. Egbuka got off to a very hot start last year, but once he was playing more in Evans spot and Baker Mayfield got banged up, his production dropped off. Egbuka could be one of the biggest breakout players of 2026 and he should be a consideration in the fourth round of drafts. |
Raiders | Las Vegas using different personnel to help Ashton Jeanty Fri May 15, 02:57 PM
Las Vegas Raiders head coach should be expected to use more 12 and 13 personnel plays to help out RB Ashton Jeanty in 2026, according to ESPN's Ben Solak.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders best pass catcher is a tight end - Brock Bowers - and they also have 2023 second round pick Michael Mayer and experienced journeyman Ian Thomas. Jack Bech is a good blocker at wide receiver and he could be used all over the formation as both a blocker and receiver. We should trust Klint Kubiak to set Jeanty up for success, making him worth a late first or early second round pick even though the Raiders offense let him and his fantasy teams down last year. |
Panthers | Carolina signs Lee Hunter to rookie deal Fri May 15, 01:47 PM
Carolina Panthers DL Lee Hunter signed his rookie contract with the team on Friday, May 15. It is for four years, though financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Hunter will be a stout presence against the run and he can get after the quarterback, just like his new running mate Derrick Brown. They should make each other more effective and give opposing offenses trouble once Hunter is up to speed. |
Cowboys | Malik Davis favored to be RB2 Fri May 15, 01:11 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Malik Davis is believed to be the favorite to land the team's RB2 role, according to Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris.
| Footballguys view: This is an important backup running back battle to watch. The Cowboys were among the league leaders in running back scores, with 16, and their offensive line had some bad injury luck. Their defense should also be improved, so this might be a plug and play situation if Javonte Williams misses time. 2025 fifth round pick Jaydon Blue and seventh round pick Phil Mafah are also contenders to be the top backup to Williams. |
Chargers | Chad Alexander declines GM interview request Fri May 15, 01:10 PM
Los Angeles Chargers assistant general manager Chad Alexander has declined the Minnesota Vikings' request to interview for their general manager vacancy.
| Footballguys view: Alexander was considered a top prospect for the general manager. While he might just be happy with the Chargers working under Joe Horitz, that he wouldn't even interview could be a bad sign for the Vikings. There might be a perception that the general manager would report to Kevin O'Connell or otherwise not have decision-making freedom. The Vikings have nine other candidates with Alexander out of the pool, including interim GM Rob Brzezinski. |

Green Bay Packers second-round draft choice CB Brandon Cisse signed a four-year contract with the Packers Thursday, May 14. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Cisse thrived as a perimeter corner in the SEC. Quarterbacks averaged only 34.6 percent completion percentage when throwing in Cisse's direction. His size/athleticism combination makes him a perfect pick for the Packers. |

Falcons | Avieon Terrell under contract Thu May 14, 04:14 PM
Atlanta Falcons second-round draft choice CB Avieon Terrell signed a four-year contract with the Falcons Thursday, May 14. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Terrell knows how to knock the football away from an opponent. He is the all-time leader for Clemson DBs with the single-season record for forced fumbles (5) and career forced fumbles (8). Terrell has the ability to play both inside as a slot corner and outside as a boundary corner. His versatility and aggression could make him a fine starter for the Falcons. |

Link to story Texans | Houston signs Marlin Klein Thu May 14, 04:05 PM
Houston Texans second-round draft choice TE Marlin Klein signed a four-year contract with the Texans Thursday, May 14. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Born in Germany, Klein is the highest-drafted German player in NFL history. He's a big target with high-end speed and explosiveness (9.59 RAS). Klein was mainly a blocker, spending time at Michigan behind 2025 first-round pick Colston Loveland, so his production as a receiver in college was limited. |
Browns | Emmanuel McNeil-Warren signs contract Thu May 14, 03:55 PM
Cleveland Browns second-round draft choice S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren signed a four-year contract with the Browns Thursday, May 14. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: McNeil-Warren could have easily been a first-round pick, so he immediately brings value to the field. He's a turnover-creating machine, having nine forced fumbles in college. He uses elite size to stand out as a run-defender, and his length helps him make up ground in coverage. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins said his goal is to record at least 1,000 receiving yards this upcoming season. He has not reached the number since the 2022 season.
| Footballguys view: So long as QB Joe Burrow stays healthy, Higgins could easily hit that number. Fantasy GMs are excited about the Bengals' passing attack, as per usual, and Higgins is seen as a WR2 with upside. |

Bears | Caleb Williams changed shotgun stance Thu May 14, 11:29 AM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams was instructed to tweak his shotgun stance and put his left foot forward instead of his right. This was part of head coach Ben Johnson's tweaks during the season.

Link to story Dolphins | De'Von Achane gets 4-year, $68 million extension Wed May 13, 07:56 PM
The Dolphins and Pro Bowl RB De'Von Achane have agreed to a four-year extension worth $68 million, making him the NFL's third-highest-paid running back at $17 million per year with $32 million guaranteed, multiple sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
| Footballguys view: GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley have insisted that Achane is a building block for the future. This investment proves it. Expect the team to continue relying on Achane to handle the same high-volume role the previous regime did. The 2023 third-round pick has scored either 11 or 12 touchdowns in each of his three seasons. He posted a career-high 1,838 scrimmage yards in 2025. Achane has also finished in the top five among backs in targets and receiving yards in each of the past two years, and his Footballguys RB6 projection reflects all of that. |
