Texans | Marlin Klein missed OTAs due to injury Fri Jun 5, 03:25 PM
Houston Texans TE Marlin Klein missed OTA practices this week due to a hamstring injury. It is not considered to make him miss an extended time.
| Footballguys view: A second-round pick out of Michigan, Klein is likely third on the depth chart behind Dalton Schultz and Foster Moreau. Klein has speed for the position and soft hands, but it will take time for him to get learn the pro game. We do appreciate his skill set in dynasty formats. |
Vikings | Kyler Murray has been impressive in OTAs Fri Jun 5, 02:56 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray is making it 'make it hard to imagine' that he will lose the team's quarterback battle against QB J.J. McCarthy ahead of the 2026 season, according to Sports Illustrated's Will Ragatz.
| Footballguys view: This is a competition that will go into training camp and the preseason. If Murray keeps impressing, the battle may not last long into August. McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024, has been below average seemingly every time he's been on the field for the Vikings. It's a make-or-break season for McCarthy, and Murray might win the starting job for the Vikings in 2026. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield not close on contract Fri Jun 5, 11:07 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield said he and the team aren't close in contract negotiations, and talks will end once the season begins.
| Footballguys view: In the final year of his deal, Mayfield is looking for a new long-term contract. Mayfield is entering this season without WR Mike Evans, and he's coming off a season where he had 3,693 yards passing with 26 passing touchdowns. He may never get back to the 40-plus touchdown guy he was a couple of years ago, but Mayfield is a solid starter who should be able to get appropriate compensation. |

Dolphins | Malik Willis has green light to run Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis' running ability will be incorporated into the offense, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: Willis is a runner, and it only makes sense for that to be a part of his game. Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik has a system that should work well with play-action passing and a rushing quarterback. We like Willis as a QB2 with upside, and his rushing ability means he could push for more fantasy points than some think. |
Seahawks | AJ Barner has multiple surgeries Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner (undisclosed) said he had multiple surgeries over the offseason but will be 'ready to go' when training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: Barner had calf, elbow, and hip injuries last year. He's feeling better now, and Barner should once again be a security-blanket target for Sam Darnold. We like him as a low-end TE2 from a fantasy perspective. |
Seahawks | Cooper Kupp locked in Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp said he 'never for a second' considered retirement this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Kupp was the Seahawks no.2 receiver last year, and he finished with 47 catches for 593 yards and two touchdowns. This year, Seattle should move Rashid Shaheed into the no.2 role and Kupp gets demoted to more of a no.3 role. That makes Kupp more of a 'what the heck' flex in certain matchups for Fantasy GMs. |

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. clicking with QB Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and QB Trevor Lawrence have been putting in extra reps this offseason to improve their chemistry. 'We've put a lot of work in throughout all spring really of just trying to get the timing down, the chemistry, all those things, get on the same page, and it's starting to pay off,' Lawrence said.
| Footballguys view: We love hearing this, and we'd love to see this chemistry continue into training camp and the regular season. Reports from Jaguars camp say they're going deep early and often with Thomas being on the receiving end of a lot of those passes. Per Jaguars HC Liam Coen, they did want to improve the deep passing and chemistry between Thomas and Trevor Lawrence. |
Texans | Tank Dell seeing more work Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) has been more involved in the voluntary workouts as the offseason has gone on and is expected to do more when training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Texans here, so long as Dell can stay healthy. Dell had been working off to the side with trainers as he comes back from another injury. Now, he's working in team drills with the idea he can do more later in the summer. Dell is a playmaker, but his injury history makes him a player to only monitor on the waiver wire from a fantasy perspective. |

Dolphins | Seydou Traore inks rookie deal Fri Jun 5, 12:51 AM
Miami Dolphins fifth-round draft choice TE Seydou Traore signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Thursday, June 4. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: In dynasty formats we are monitoring Traore because of his "F" skill set. He's a receiving tight end who can work in the middle of the field effectively. A member of the NFL's International Pathway Program, Traore is a former goalkeeper and has soft hands as a receiver. Traore has plenty of work to do in terms of development, but he's an intriguing prospect. |

Cowboys | George Pickens not at workouts Thu Jun 4, 04:49 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens was not present for the voluntary workout Thursday, June 4, but is expected to take part in the mandatory minicamp next week, according to NFL Network's Jane Slater.
| Footballguys view: The workouts are voluntary, so we're not too concerned. When the work becomes mandatory next week, Pickens should be in attendance. Pickens already signed his franchise tag earlier this year, so he's fully guaranteed $27.3 MM for the 2026 season. We'll see if a long-term contract can be worked out before the start of the regular season. |

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Chamon Metayer was waived Thursday, June 4.
Link to story Broncos | Bo Nix not participating in OTAs Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix was seen on the sideline at the team's OTAs on Thursday, June 4. Nix is working his way back from a broken ankle suffered in January.
| Footballguys view: There are some who think we could see Nix out there at mandatory minicamp in just a couple of weeks. Nix injured his ankle in the Divisional Round win over the Bills, and he had to have a cleanup second surgery after it was initially repaired. So long as Nix is out there in training camp, the Broncos have no worries at the quarterback position. Nix with Jaylen Waddle could be quite fun for Broncos fans...and Fantasy GMs... in 2026. |
Steelers | Darnell Washington handed four-year extension Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington reportedly agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $42 million to remain with the team on Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: The third-round pick (2023) out of Georgia is a devastating blocker, and he's an integral part of what the Steelers can do on offense. As a receiver, Washington's output has been limited (57 catches, 625 yards and two touchdowns in three seasons) because he's relied on to be a blocker. Thus, Washington's fantasy value is much lower than his 'real football' value to the Steelers. |

Dolphins | Tutu Atwell poised for big role? Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Tutu Atwell 'appears to be more than just a deep-ball threat' based on his performance at minicamp, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Atwell can fly down the field, so he could be a deep-ball threat for the Dolphins in 2026. What would more entail for the Dolphins no.3 receiver? It's unlikely that Atwell provides more than 'what the heck' flex value from a fantasy perspective, and that's only in deeper leagues. |

Dolphins | Malik Willis flashes at minicamp Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis delivered some 'highlight' throws and displayed his arm strength during minicamp Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: It's OTAs, so these things are going to happen but it's a good sign at least. We're listening for offseason 'drumbeats' and if you keep hearing Willis 'flashes' at OTAs, mandatory minicamp, training camp, and into the preseason then you'll know he's impressing with his new team. We're excited about Willis this year even though the Dolphins are unlikely to push for the playoffs in 2026. He's a mid-to-low-range QB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs. |
Bears | Rome Odunze embracing expectations Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze said he is '100% confident' in his ability to become the No. 1 wide receiver for the Bears in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs should be excited about what the Bears' passing game can look like in 2026 with Odunze as the no.1 receiver. His fantasy value is that of a low-end WR2/high-end WR3, but the upside is there for Odunze to produce at a higher rate if things click. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert focused on footwork Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert said he has been working on overhauling his footwork under the guidance of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. 'Mechanically, it's a little different timing, he wants the ball out early,' Herbert said. 'We feel like that is going to help us get the ball out quicker.'
| Footballguys view: Have we seen the best of Herbert? I think we can all say that answer is no. Does McDaniel get the best from Herbert this year? That's a possibility, and it will be fun to watch if that happens. He's one of the most naturally talented passers in the NFL, and now Herbert gets to run a potentially dynamic system. Stay tuned. |

NFL | Russell Wilson retiring Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Giants) announced his retirement from professional football Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is going to be an analyst with CBS, so his retirement comes as no surprise. A former Super Bowl champion (2012) with the Seahawks, Wilson will always be remembered for having one of the prettiest 'moon balls' in NFL history (him or Jeff Blake). With a championship and 10 Pro Bowl nods, the next stop of Wilson is the Pro Football Hall of Fame - although many debate his qualifications for the ultimate honor. |

49ers | Mac Jones still not throwing Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones (undisclosed) did not throw during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3, because of soreness but said he will be ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Let's just put a pin in this. Jones is there to be a quality reserve behind Brock Purdy, and the team is not going to skip a beat if he's forced to play. We should see him out there later in the summer. |

49ers | George Kittle says Week 1 possible Thu Jun 4, 02:00 PM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) said that his recovery is on schedule and there is a chance that he will be ready for Week 1. He was able to do some running on the side during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Kittle seems to be on the right track. When training camp begins, Kittle may not be on the PUP list, so even if he's not around for Week 1 it may not be long before he's out there for regular season action. An early return in the first month of the season seems likely with Week 1 as the initial target. |

Steelers | Pittsburgh signs two after tryouts Thu Jun 4, 01:21 PM
Free agent TE Robert Tonyan (Chiefs) and LB Jamin Davis (Raiders) signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, June 4. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: It seems incredulous to remember that Tonyan had an 11 touchdown season with the Packers back in 2020. After one target over the last two seasons (with two different teams), it's safe to say Tonyan's best days are behind him. |

'So my new normal was kind of what I am going into. And I don't think that's anything that's going to prohibit me or keep me from making plays.'

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten said he is looking to improve his pass protection and receiving skills this offseason. Tuten also hopes to improve his field vision.
| Footballguys view: After being drafted in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, strong performances in training camp and the preseason catapulted Tuten to RB2, behind Travis Etienne. With Etienne's departure, Tuten is primed to have a breakout year, even if head coach Liam Coen favors more of a rotation at running back, with both Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. taking regular snaps. Still, the more Tuten can do to stay on the field, the better his chances of handling a lead role become. The Jaguars' backfield will be one to watch closely this summer. |

Colts | Alec Pierce remains on schedule Wed Jun 3, 04:01 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (ankle) is making progress in his recovery from ankle surgery and is still on track to be ready for training camp, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: During GM Chris Ballard's pre-draft press conference, he mentioned that Pierce underwent offseason surgery on a lingering ankle injury, but added he should be back on the field for training camp. Steichen confirmed that "as of right now," that's still the case. Pierce, who's led the NFL in yards per catch the last two seasons, has become a well-rounded wideout, able to attack different levels of the field in a variety of ways. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded to the Steelers, Pierce is set to serve as the team's top downfield weapon. He's being drafted as WR33. |
Patriots | No knee issues for A.J. Brown Wed Jun 3, 03:37 PM
New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown said he has not been dealing with any knee injuries and is ready to take part in practice.
| Footballguys view: Brown passed his physical and practiced with his new team for the first time on Tuesday. While he had minor cleanup surgery on both of his knees in 2021, Brown says they're fine. "Nothing to worry about. I'm good. I'm ready to go." Brown, who turns 29 this month, enters his eighth season unconcerned about the future. He was asked on Tuesday how much he thinks he still has left in his career. "You'll see," Brown said. We're believers. Brown has already moved inside the top-10 -- to WR7 -- on the Footballguys 2026 projections. |

Jets | NYJ making change at kicker Wed Jun 3, 03:21 PM
Free-agent PK Jason Sanders (Giants) agreed to terms with the New York Jets Wednesday, June 3, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team is also releasing PK Younghoe Koo.
| Footballguys view: The Giants released Sanders, a former All-Pro, to clear a roster spot for Juju Smith-Schuster earlier this week. Sanders, formerly of the Miami Dolphins, was by far the most experienced kicker under contract with the Giants. The 30-year-old Sanders has made 84.6% of his NFL field goal attempts. That includes 90.2% in the 2024 season, when he was 12-for-14 from 50-plus yards. |

Dolphins | De'Von Achane to be limited at minicamp Wed Jun 3, 02:24 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) will only participate in individual drills during the mandatory minicamp this week, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season and should be ready for training camp, so going easy on him at this point makes sense. The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health, so he should be moving full speed ahead soon enough. We'll continue to monitor this situation. |
Patriots | Kayshon Boutte open to trade Wed Jun 3, 01:57 PM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte has shown interest in a trade this offseason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: This news comes as no surprise with A.J. Brown now on the roster. Boutte, who has been skipping recent voluntary workouts, is entering the final year of his rookie deal. The presence of Brown and free agent acquisition Romeo Doubs would seem to lower the odds of the Patriots making another long-term investment in a wideout, while also working against Boutte having a big year in New England that might make him attractive as a free agent. Whether that results in a move or not will be something to watch as Week 1 draws closer. |

Link to story Dolphins | Four-year deal for Caleb Douglas Wed Jun 3, 01:25 PM
Miami Dolphins third-round draft choice WR Caleb Douglas signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Tuesday, June 2. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: As noted in the 2026 Footballguys Rookie Guide, Douglas brings length and fluidity, with the versatility to play outside and stretch the field or inside as a big slot. Douglas is underrated in the 2026 class and has traits that could round out most receiver rooms. Dynasty managers in rookie drafts should consider the early offensive opportunity in Miami, even if you don't like the player. |
