Bills | DJ Moore still learning offense Mon Jun 1, 12:18 AM
Buffalo Bills WR DJ Moore said he still dealing with some 'growing pains' as he adjusts to the Buffalo offense, but he expects to be in 'great shape' as the offseason progresses. 'I mean, it's gonna be perfect later on,' Moore said.
| Footballguys view: The Bills acquired Moore in a trade with the Bears in March, and he's had his first chance to work with quarterback Josh Allen over the last few weeks. And even though their connection and Moore's overall fit in the Buffalo offense are still coming together, the outlook is optimistic. "It's going good," Moore said. "I mean, it's gonna be perfect later on, but right now it's still growing pains." Allen had positive things to say this month about how Moore is acclimating to life with the Bills, who will be banking on a fully integrated Moore come the fall. |

Giants | Odell Beckham Jr. still in play for Giants Mon Jun 1, 12:16 AM
Free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. (Dolphins) has a 'real chance' to sign with the New York Giants, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Giants coach John Harbaugh left the door open for a potential Beckham signing, with a caveat. "It's got to be right for both parties," Harbaugh said. As Profootballtalk.com suggested, the biggest question is where he'd land on the depth chart. Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Calvin Austin III are the expected starters. The team's anticipated use of Beckham will also determine the contract he'd be offered. Both sides need to be on the same page about Beckham's role. It won't be what it was from 2014 through 2018. |

49ers | No suitors for Brandon Aiyuk Mon Jun 1, 12:15 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk seems unlikely to be traded, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers have made it clear they would rather trade Aiyuk than release him, but finding a deal for the disgruntled wide receiver amid his puzzling behavior is proving difficult. "I talked to two rival executives who believe that he's simply untradeable right now," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. The 49ers still can create $20 million in salary-cap space by releasing Aiyyk after June 1 if a trade partner isn't found. And as of right now, that is the most likely outcome. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara talks have stalled out Mon Jun 1, 12:10 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara and the team have not had 'a lot of traction' on a revised deal that could allow Kamara to return to the Saints in 2026.
| Footballguys view: "The team can also save about $14 million after June 1 on a salary cap," Fowler reported Sunday. Kamara's resume includes an Offensive Rookie of the Year, five Pro Bowl selections, and more than 1,100 yards from scrimmage in eight of his nine seasons. He also led the league in combined receiving and rushing touchdowns in 2020 with 21. Yet he will be 31 years old during the 2026 campaign and is coming off the worst individual season of his career. New Orleans also signed Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year deal this offseason, which made Kamara's future uncertain. |

Titans | Tony Pollard feels he is still trending up Mon Jun 1, 12:09 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard is one of just two NFL backs to run for at least 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons, with Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry the other back in that exclusive club. He has played in at least 15 games in each of his seven NFL seasons, as durability has been key. 'The work ethic, everything that I'm doing behind the scenes, it's paying off,' Pollard said, via The Associated Press. 'I slowly feel like throughout my career I've just slowly progressed more and more, and I feel like I'm still trending in that direction.'
| Footballguys view: Pollard actually has four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons -- the last two for Tennessee. He was a Pro Bowler for the Cowboys in 2022, the first of his aforementioned quartet of 1,000-yard campaigns. He had a career-best 1,082 yards on the ground with five touchdowns last season. With Pollard already in place to support quarterback Cam Ward and a Tennessee offense taking on offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's new scheme, sticking with the veteran makes sense. For fantasy investors, the RB31 price makes him a reasonable value. |

Dolphins | Malik Washington must emerge at receiver Mon Jun 1, 12:08 AM
Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington has been praised for his ability to learn and execute the offense, and he has seemingly grasped the new playbook faster than any of his teammates. He has emerged as a favorite target of new QB Malik Willis, but he still needs to step out of the slot and into a split end or flanker role to see the field more consistently.
| Footballguys view: At this time last year, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle were Miami's top receivers. Now, with both gone, there's a question about who will step up. The most likely candidates are Washington, former Cowboy Jalen Tolbert, and ex-Rams speedster Tutu Atwell. None of the trio has ever hit the 615-yard mark in a single season. Last year, they combined for 712 yards, and Washington led the way with a career-high 317 yards. While rookies Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell are also in the picture, we expect the veterans -- led by Washington -- to be the primary weapons. |
Dolphins | Greg Dulcich was top performer at OTAs Mon Jun 1, 12:06 AM
Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich was considered one of the top performers at organized team activities (OTAs), and he has seemingly built an early rapport with new QB Malik Willis. Still, he needs to work to become a reliable run blocker and pass protector, also known as in-line duties. The team drafted TE Will Kacmarek for in-line duties, and he has shown some good hands early on.
| Footballguys view: After parting ways with Tyreek Hill and trading Jaylen Waddle, the Dolphins signed a few free-agent wide receivers, as well as drafted a trio at the position. Yet when looking for who could be a major option for Willis in 2025, a top candidate could be Dulcich. At the very least, Dulcich has the inside track on the starting job in an offense without much in the way of proven receiving assets. Still, the former Bronco is best viewed as a late flier or potential waiver-wire add once the season opens. |
Steelers | Darnell Washington was short-yardage favorite Mon Jun 1, 12:05 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington emerged as a short-yardage favorite of QB Aaron Rodgers in 2025, and he and TE Pat Freiermuth are the only pure tight ends on the roster heading into the summer.
| Footballguys view: Washington has been a solid performer for the Steelers, but he hasn't been a top-tier weapon in the passing offense. Even with some short-yardage work, the weekly production hasn't been consistent or fantasy-relevant. |

Dolphins | Zane Gonzalez, Riley Patterson vying for PK job Mon Jun 1, 12:04 AM
Miami Dolphins PKs Zane Gonzalez and Riley Patterson are vying for the starting placekicker job.
| Footballguys view: Patterson hit 93.1 percent (27-of-29) of his field-goal attempts, a new single-season franchise record. He was re-signed to the NFL minimum, and the team brought in the journeyman Gonzalez to compete. It's a battle we'll monitor through training camp. |

Steelers | Pat Freiermuth envisions expanded role Sun May 31, 04:37 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth is envisioning an expanded role in the offense for 2026, as head coach Mike McCarthy has always used tight ends as a productive part of his offense. In McCarthy's previous five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, his leading tight end averaged 65.6 receptions per season. 'I like my role in the offense,' Freiermuth said Sunday, May 31. 'I see my role increasing for sure. But I have to show up every single day and earn what I want my role to be.'
| Footballguys view: Freiermuth's role took a big hit last year after the Steelers traded for Jonnu Smith, but with Smith gone, Freiermuth should return to fantasy relevance. He's still only worth a late pick at best, but Freiermuth should be on your waiver wire watch list with the possibility of gaining value over the course of the summer. The Steelers have improved their wide receiver group during the offseason, but they should also pass more under new head coach Mike McCarthy. |

Ravens | Durham Smythe explains Baltimore choice Sun May 31, 03:28 PM
Baltimore Ravens TE Durham Smythe said on a podcast that his familiarity with new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's system was a major factor in choosing the team in the free agency process, and 'kind of a no-brainer'. He added that working with TE Mark Andrews heading up the tight ends' room was important, too. 'Being able to come in and work with Mark a little bit, I think it was a perfect situation for me,' Smythe said.

Eagles | Saquon Barkley asking for advice Sun May 31, 03:03 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley reached out to retired RB Todd Gurley for advice on how to make the most of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's system.
| Footballguys view: Gurley was a teammate of new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion with the Rams in 2017-2018, and he had two of the best years of his career in the zone running game during the Sean McVay regime. Barkley will be running a lot more outside zone with the quarterback under center, so he is having to revamp his game. Offensive line health is a big question mark along with Barkley's adjustment physically and mentally to a one cut and go style of play, but this season should be a better offensive environment for him after playing in the disaster of an offense run by Kevin Patullo, who was let go in the offseason. |

Jaguars | Parker Washington looking sharp Sun May 31, 03:03 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington has 'looked dynamic as he ever has' during OTAs, according to John Shipley of SI.com.
| Footballguys view: It doesn't look like the Jaguars are going to trade Brian Thomas Jr. this offseason, and they have said that the plan for Travis Hunter to play on both sides of the ball has not changed, so the pass offense appears to be crowded. Washington was able to rise above late last season and in the wild card loss to the Bills. He hasn't slowed down and the team is talking about cross-training him for inside/outside versatility. He could be the best "buy high" player in dynasty leagues right now. |

Giants | Malik Nabers shows off full range of motion Sun May 31, 02:54 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) participated in LB Brian Burns' celebrity softball game on Saturday night, and he took part in all scheduled activities, from dodgeball to the home run derby to the game itself. He was seen backpedaling in the dodgeball game, and he was showing off a full range of motion. However, he still didn't show if he can start, stop or cut as his position requires, so it was just a glimpse of where he is at. Head coach John Harbaugh recently said the receiver is still working through rehab, and he is uncertain if Nabers will be ready for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Nabers didn't look too hobbled, but he didn't look like he was entirely comfortable either. It's still very unlikely he'll be ready for training camp, and nothing about this news item should change his uncertain status for Week 1. |

Cardinals | Devin Duvernay wants to be more than specialist Sun May 31, 02:25 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Devin Duvernay will continue to return kicks and punts, as he enters his seventh season in the NFL, but he also wants to be more than just a one-dimensional player. 'Finding a role on offense, earning the trust of my teammates, my coaches is definitely the goal, but I plan on doing all of that, helping any way I can, being the ultimate team player,' Duvernay said.

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs hoping for contract extension Sun May 31, 11:32 AM

Saints | Chris Olave bulks up Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave gained 10 pounds of muscle ahead of OTAs.
| Footballguys view: We'll withhold any opinion whether this is a good or bad thing until we see if it affects Olave's elite route running. Reports from OTAs had him separating in practice with his typical effortless style, so chances are this is a good thing for the Saints #1 receiver, who should get a market level extension before the beginning of the season. |
Lions | Huge contract coming for Jahmyr Gibbs? Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs is 'positioned to reset the running back market in a big way,' according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. 'Think $20 million per year or over,' Fowler said.
| Footballguys view: He has earned it, and the Lions should have no hesitation paying it. Because Gibbs and fellow 2023 first round pick Jack Campbell play positions with a lower top of the pay scale, their combined cost per year should come in right after what the Seahawks are paying Jaxon Smith-Njigba on his contract extension. |

Jaguars | More deep balls for Brian Thomas Jr.? Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr.'s chemistry with QB Trevor Lawrence in the deep passing game has been a focus this offseason, according to head coach Liam Coen. 'Our average depth of target went up towards the second half of the season, but we've got to keep pushing that envelope a little bit - especially with him and BT, that connection,' Coen said.
| Footballguys view: Thomas should be the main deep target in the Jaguars offense, but he, Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington are all going to play large roles, and their fantasy values will be determined by how well they execute and riff with Trevor Lawrence. Washington dominated in OTAs, so Thomas still has work to do to justify his ADP being ahead of the hottest Jaguars receiver at the end of the season. |
Jaguars | Chris Rodriguez Jr. not practicing Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (undisclosed) did not practice and was seen riding a stationary back at practice Tuesday, May 26. Head coach Liam Coen did not comment on the specifics of Rodriguez's injury.
| Footballguys view: Coen did not seem worried, but we would like to know more about the nature of Rodriguez's absence before writing this off as nothing to be concerned about. The free agent signing is expected to be part of a three-headed committee with 2025 fourth round pick Bhayshul Tuten and 2025 seventh round pick LeQuint Allen, with an edge in short yardage and inside running. Tuten and Allen are both impressing his absence, and could make it an uphill climb for Rodriguez to earn more work than expected, but Coen's familiarity with Rodriguez could offset that. |
Giants | Cam Skattebo works in some drills Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (ankle) 'snuck into' some positional drills during practice Friday, May 29, and appeared to be moving well, according to Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com.
| Footballguys view: Of the two rookie backs who suffered dislocated ankle/fractured fibula injuries last year, Skattebo is behind Quinshon Judkins - who has been moving surprisingly well already - but still on track to be ready for Week 1. The big question is whether Skattebo will be back his old self this year. Skattebo did suffer ligament damage that Judkins didn't, so he was expected to be behind Judkins. We'll be watching this closely. For now, Tyrone Tracy has some speculative early season upside as Skattebo's backup. |
Broncos | Jonah Coleman may have early role Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman could be used as a receiver out of the backfield during his rookie season, in the opinion of BroncosWire's Jon Heath.
| Footballguys view: Coleman is a threat to both JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey's roles, and he could end up being as valuable as Harvey even though there is a 50+ pick gap in their ADPs. Coleman could also be the first man up if Dobbins goes down. This is a big camp for Harvey to prove he deserves a bigger opportunity to prove he was worth the second round pick the Broncos spent on him last year. |
Rams | Max Klare under contract Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Los Angeles Rams second-round draft choice TE Max Klare signed a four-year contract with the Rams Friday, May 29. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Like 2025 second round pick Terrance Ferguson, Klare will be eased into the offense, but we should assume that the long term vision of Sean McVay is for both Klare and Ferguson to be on the field more often than not - a base two tight end offense. Klare is a good long term stash in tight end premium leagues and he might be good enough to have value in PPR leagues by year two or three of his rookie deal. |
Titans | Calvin Ridley on field Friday Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley participated in the voluntary workout Friday, May 29, but was limited to individual drills.
| Footballguys view: Carnell Tate stole the show at OTAs and looked like the clear #1 receiver. He and Cam Ward appear to have an instant connection. Ridley is being paid like a starter and he is worth a late round pick in drafts, but Tate has all of the momentum in the Titans passing game right now. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price agrees to deal Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Seattle Seahawks first-round draft choice RB Jadarian Price agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Seahawks Friday, May 29, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal includes a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: Price has a chance to start Week 1 in the Super Bowl rematch against New England, but nothing is promised or guaranteed to him. George Holani is splitting first team work with Price while Zach Charbonnet (expected back sometime in the second half of the season) and Kenny McIntosh (should be ready for camp) recover from ACL surgery. Free agent signing Emanuel Wilson was not seen at practice this week, but Price did have a great play on a long reception that could help create momentum for him to be used in the passing game after barely seeing any targets at Notre Dame behind Arizona Cardinals #3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson feeling good Sat May 30, 03:40 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson said the recovery from his knee injury was longer than he expected but that he feels great now.
| Footballguys view: Wilson will have a chance to start hot with Geno Smith at quarterback, but if the Jets turn to fourth round rookie Cade Klubnik after the season is lost, then Wilson's value could evaporate. His ADP is lower than it was last year, but has not fallen to the lowly level that his 2025 lost campaign would dictate. |

Bears | Coach high on Luther Burden Sat May 30, 01:22 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III has been performing well during offseason workouts and has been working on learning new routes, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Burden is going to be close to a full-time player after DJ Moore got dealt to Buffalo. He'll occupy the slot and get some of the high percentage targets that turned Amon-Ra St. Brown into a star under Johnson in Detroit. Whether to take Burden, tight end Colston Loveland, or Rome Odunze first in drafts is not an easy call, but this early buzz makes it easier to pick Burden. |
Vikings | Top QBs working with starters Sat May 30, 01:13 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray and QB J.J. McCarthy both received work with the first-team offense during the voluntary workout this week, but McCarthy seems to be behind Murray in the competition at this point, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert.
| Footballguys view: Seifert wasn't the only observer at Vikings practice to put Murray after of McCarthy, and some had the gap very large. This is technically a quarterback competition, but McCarthy is going to have to up his level of play for there to be any suspense. All of the initial reports about Murray's acclimation to the team and offense are positive, so if you wanted to invest in him hoping for a bounceback season, you should feel encouraged by what we are hearing out of Minnesota. |

Rams | Puka Nacua not concerned about extension Sat May 30, 11:41 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua said that he 'hasn't really thought' about an extension with the club, even though he is eligible to receive one. He is entering the final season of his rookie contract and could command a deal similar to the four-year, $168.6 million extension given to Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba in March, which made him the highest-paid receiver in NFL history.
| Footballguys view: The Rams might be hesitant to give Nacua that large of a contract after he checked into rehab for a period of weeks this offseason following some regrettable moments in public. They can also put clauses in any new contract to protect themselves if Nacua's off-field behavior is a problem again. There's no reason to think that Nacua won't pick up where he left off and earn the long term investment from the Rams, but we will be monitoring the reports out of camp and the preseason. |

Packers | Christopher Brooks works with starters Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks took first-team reps during 11-on-11 drills at OTAs on Wednesday, May 27.
| Footballguys view: Brooks' strength is his passing down skills, but with Emanuel Wilson gone to Seattle in free agency and MarShawn Lloyd once again "working off to the side", Brooks is the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, who was in the news because of domestic violence allegations earlier this week. We should know if the Packers expect Jacobs to miss time due to a suspension by whether they decide to improve their running back bench. |
49ers | Isaac Guerendo may miss most of camp Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) suffered a torn pectoral this offseason and is expected to be sidelined until around the end of training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Guerendo was already viewed as behind third round pick Kaelon Black and last year's fifth round pick Jordan James on the depth chart. It's possible that Guerendo ends up on the NFI or PUP list to start the season. This news almost insures that the 2024 fourth round pick will be a non-factor in the 49ers backfield this season. |
Jets | NYJ having a competition for backup QB spot Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told the media on Thursday, May 29, that the team is having an open competition for the backup quarterback spot between Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook.
| Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Klubnik has a good chance to beat out Zappe, who has leveled out as a QB3 on the fringe of rosters after getting a cup of coffee with the Patriots earlier in his career, and Cook, who looked overwhelmed when he got on the field as an undrafted free agent last year. |
Ravens | Lamar Jackson wants to stick around Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson said he doesn't want to discuss contract negotiations but 'absolutely' wants to remain with the Ravens.
| Footballguys view: The team has said they intend to sign Jackson to a long extension, but there could be differences of opinion about the amount of money, length of the contract, and amount of guaranteed money. If the Ravens and Jackson can't get something worked out before this year, he'll be going into the last year of his contract in 2027. |

Browns | No frontrunner for QB job Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders are the main candidates for the starting quarterback job, but offensive coordinator Travis Switzer said there is no favorite for the job at this point. Switzer said the team is happy with the progress of both quarterbacks.
| Footballguys view: This is a different tone from long time Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot's report making it sound like Watson was the likely Week 1 starter earlier in the offseason and a recent report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Watson had a "leg up" in the competition. We'll put more weight on what the coaches say for now, but know that the veteran does have an advantage because the team is installing a new offense. No matter who wins the job, the Browns are probably going to be in the market for a new starting quarterback next year. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey did not practice Thursday, and the team plans to take a 'cautious' approach with McCaffrey throughout the offseason program and training camp.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey soon will turn 30. That raises questions about managing his workload moving forward. "I think the workload in our sport is really monitored in practice, not in games," he said. So for McCaffrey, workload management happens in the days between the games. After an Achilles injury followed by a knee injury limited McCaffrey to four games in 2024, he started every game in 2025 and finished with more than 400 touches. Even if it makes sense to lighten his load, the Niners have rarely done that in games. We don't expect them to start this season. |

49ers | Surgery for Isaac Guerendo Thu May 28, 06:55 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) has undergone surgery to repair a torn pectoral.

"It's not a season-ender," Shanahan said. "But it's right around the end of training camp." With second-year man Jordan James and 2026 third-round pick Kaelon Black competing for reps behind Christian McCaffrey, an absence isn't great news for Guerendo. We'll watch for more. |
Saints | Jordyn Tyson limited Thursday Thu May 28, 05:54 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson did not participate in seven-on-seven drills during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28. The Saints plan to have him more involved in upcoming workouts with the hope that he is a full participant when training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today noted, injury concerns were the biggest red flag on Tyson's college scouting report; he played through a hamstring issue last season that lingered into the pre-draft process, and the Saints are managing him carefully. Taking it slowly and not rushing him into full reps before his body is ready for it in May just makes sense. We'll monitor and report back as needed. |
