Browns | Nick Chubb continuing to grind in his rehab Tue Apr 16, 03:49 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is 'attacking his rehab every day,' according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, who was unwilling to commit to a timetable for a return for his star running back.
| Footballguys view: "I don't know that we'll go past today and this week -- at least that's the way I'm looking at it," Stefanski said in his press conference. "I can promise you, he's working very hard. Early in the morning, he's here, he's attacking his rehab. That's the best way I can put it. When he's ready, he'll be ready." When asked if Chubb has progressed to running, Stefanski declined to say. Chubb, 28, agreed to a revised contract with Cleveland last week. In 77 career games, Chubb has recorded 6,511 yards rushing with 48 touchdowns -- averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Fantasy managers shouldn't get carried away here, but Chubb is generally still available in the double-digit rounds in best ball drafts. There comes a point where the risk is worth the potential late-season reward. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson happy with recovery Tue Apr 16, 03:37 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) told reporters he is 'throwing full speed' and intends to participate at some level during organized team activities, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Browns are implementing a revamped offensive scheme with new coordinator Ken Dorsey, but head coach Kevin Stefnski noted that's not going to affect how they approach Watson's rehab. We'll continue to watch for more, but all of us -- the Browns and fantasy managers -- need Watson to be on point. In six games last season, he completed 61 percent of his passes for 1,115 yards with seven touchdowns and four interceptions. He also rushed for 142 yards with a TD. |

Chiefs | KC continues to endorse Kadarius Toney Tue Apr 16, 02:39 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney has been among a group of players working out in Texas with Patrick Mahomes recently and is still someone the team is hoping to see fulfill his potential, according to comments made by head coach Andy Reid on Monday, April 15.'Kadarius is arguably one of the most talented guys we have on the team. It's just a matter of being healthy and being able to stay on the field and you always hear about the reliability, accountability, all those things that go into it. And so I'm expecting him to come back ripping and ready to go. It's great that he's down there working with Pat and putting the work in. So that's a position. Listen, we like Kadarius. It's just a matter of having him on the field,' Reid said.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy managers have been down this road enough to keep expectations in check. Dial back expectations, but Toney is currently WR122 on Underdog. He's a free square avaialable in the last round of drafts for those so inclined. |

Dolphins | Miami likely to pick up two key fifth-year options Tue Apr 16, 01:46 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle and DE Jaelan Phillips are expected to have their fifth-year options exercised by the team before the deadline next month, according to general manager Chris Grier.
| Footballguys view: The contracts will be fully guaranteed, with Waddle set to make $15.6 million and Phillips'sPhillips' salary set at $13.3 million. Waddle had 72 catches for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns last season, and he's posted 251 catches for 3,385 yards and 18 touchdowns in his career. His former Alabama teammate and fellow 2021 first-rounder Devonta Smith agreed on Monday to a three-year, $75 million extension that will kick in after his fifth-year option plays out, so, as Profootballtalk.com suggests, Smith's deal could factor into Waddle's own bid for a long-term deal. For fantasy managers, having him locked into his role in Miami's high-powered offense is a win. |

Texans | Tank Dell still on track for normal offseason Tue Apr 16, 01:01 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (leg) looks 'great' and should be able to participate fully in training camp this summer, according to QB C.J. Stroud, who organized a throwing session with Dell and a few other teammates in Los Angeles recently. There even appears to be a strong possibility he will be ready for the start of offseason activities on May 20.
| Footballguys view: In 11 games, Dell caught 47 passes for 709 yards and seven touchdowns. He set the franchise rookie record for touchdown catches and yards in a single game with a 145-yard performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. He later broke his record with a 149-yard outing against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Over his final four full games, Dell totaled 25 receptions for 369 yards and five touchdowns. He was on pace to catch Andre Johnson's rookie record receiving yardage (976) entering December. Based on that pace, Dell was on track to finish with over 1,200 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, which would have been second-most among rookies behind Los Angeles Rams' Puka Nacua. With Stefon Diggs on board, and with both Nico Collins and Diggs going off before him in ongoing best balls, Dell appears to be the value pick here. The question will be whether he can pull in the desired target share with the extra mouth to feed, but the same can be said for Diggs and Collins. |

Broncos | Courtland Sutton doesn't report Tue Apr 16, 09:26 AM
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton didn't report to voluntary workouts Monday, April 15, as he seeks a new contract. His deal only guarantees $2 million.
| Footballguys view: A Pelissero noted, Sutton is going on his 10th starting QB in seven seasons. He had 10 TDs in 2023 while ranking 56th in targets last year. Sutton is currently available as WR50 on Underdog. If this news depresses his price further, don't be afraid to add him in double-digit rounds. |
