Cardinals | Trey McBride not satisfied Mon Jul 27, 12:46 AM

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride said there are 'a lot' of things he is working to improve. 'I just want to keep getting better every day,' McBride said. 'And that's kind of my goal. And I'm going to keep trying to do that every year. And hopefully each year will exceed the previous.'

Footballguys view: That will be tough. McBride, coming off a monstrous 315.9-point campaign, finished 2025 with 126 receptions, 1,239 yards, and 11 touchdowns. That's 105.1 points more than Atlanta's Kyle Pitts Sr., who was the next highest scorer at the position. McBride averaged 18.6 fantasy points per game. His league-high 15 top-12 fantasy weeks were six more than any other player at the position. Concerns? McBride's 11 touchdowns last year nearly doubled his combined total of six scores over his first three seasons. Still, his second-round price tag makes him a reasonable buy at cost.

Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr. banged up Mon Jul 27, 12:45 AM

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (ankle, back) briefly exited practice on two occasions Sunday, July 26.

Footballguys view: Harrison pulled himself out of practice twice. The first time, after sitting on the field for a few moments, he stood up and pointed toward his left ankle while talking to a trainer. The second time, he looked to be in pain, grimacing a few times as he stood on the sideline. He appeared to stretch out his back, standing, and did a cobra pose twice. We'll follow up as needed. While Harrison was out, wide receiver Simi Fehoko got reps with the first-team offense, potentially signifying his place in the receiving rotation.

Patriots | Kayshon Boutte making plays Mon Jul 27, 12:44 AM

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte has 'delivered highlight plays' in each of the first two days of training camp, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Footballguys view: In a crowded Patriots wide receiver room, which includes trade acquisition A.J. Brown and big-money free agent signing Romeo Doubs, it was Boutte who made waves. On Sunday, he corralled a back-shoulder throw from QB Drake Maye despite being tightly covered. That came a day after Boutte got behind the defense to snare a diving 40-yard reception. While there's been speculation about a possible trade, it's not a stretch to believe Boutte will be a contriutor if he remains in New England.

49ers | Jordan James eyeing backup role Mon Jul 27, 12:36 AM

San Francisco 49ers RB Jordan James appears to be 'next up' behind RB Christian McCaffrey, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.

Footballguys view: Rookie Kaelon Black and Patrick Taylor Jr. are also in the mix. And while NBCSports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan told us last week that she expects Black to move ahead of James this summer, Wagoner's reporting makes it clear that hasn't happened yet. But again, early, and we'll see how that continues to play out.

Cardinals | Simi Fehoko given a chance Sun Jul 26, 08:39 PM

Arizona Cardinals WR Simi Fehoko saw reps with the first-team offense Sunday, July 26, after WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (ankle, back) left practice.

Chiefs | Cyrus Allen makes early statement Sun Jul 26, 08:22 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen made a leaping catch between two defenders in the end zone during practice Sunday, July 26, and he said he is working to build chemistry with QB Patrick Mahomes. 'Everything is pretty much timing,' Allen said. 'This isn't college anymore. This is big-boy ball. I'm on his time, and everything is very precise.'

Patriots | Andres Borregales sharp Sunday Sun Jul 26, 06:50 PM

New England Patriots PK Andres Borregales made all six of his field goal attempts Sunday, July 26.

Patriots | Jeremiah Webb played on injured reserve Sun Jul 26, 04:12 PM

New England Patriots WR Jeremiah Webb was placed on injured reserve, according to a source on Sunday, July 26.

49ers | Christian Kirk 'walked off with a trainer' midway through practice Sun Jul 26, 03:35 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Christian Kirk reportedly walked off the field with a trainer midway through Sunday's practice session, but we should get some definitive word from acting HC Chris Foerster about Kirk, according to a source on Sunday, July 26.

Footballguys view: The Panthers were the most star-crossed injury team so far this summer, but the 49ers have held that title for many years (tinfoil hats on). Kirk was limited by hamstring issues last year with Houston. If he has trouble staying on the field this year, that will present another avenue for second round pick De'Zhaun Stribling to have an impact in fantasy leagues in his rookie year.

Cardinals | Update on Jacoby Brissett deal Sun Jul 26, 02:58 PM

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett's deal is worth $15.5 million for one season, with upside to $21 million, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Sunday, July 26.

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett, ARI agree to new deal Sun Jul 26, 02:44 PM

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett has reportedly agreed to terms on a new deal, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Sunday, July 26. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.

Footballguys view: This is the best outcome you could have hoped for if you are planning on drafting any Arizona Cardinals. Whether that is a good idea is another story. This will keep fourth round pick Carson Beck from getting extensive first team practice reps to make a case to start earlier than later, but most expect Beck to start eventually one way or the other, which could crater whatever value this offense could produce for fantasy football.

Rams | Blake Corum will be 'big factor' in offense this season Sun Jul 26, 01:41 PM

Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum will be a 'big factor' this season for the Rams offense, according to HC Sean McVay on Sunday, July 26.

Footballguys view: There has been buzz that Corum will split early down work more evenly with Kyren Williams this offseason. He could have more standalone value, especially with the Rams more heavily favored against inferior competition after they acquired Myles Garrett, but Williams is still going to get more passing down work and be the more valuable fantasy running back.

Commanders | WAS 'intriguing' to Stefon Diggs Sun Jul 26, 01:12 PM

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) is reportedly being checked on by five NFL teams, but the Washington Commanders are 'intriguing' to Diggs, as a native of the area, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Sunday, July 26.

Footballguys view: We already know that Diggs is interested in playing with Jayden Daniels, and the Commanders certainly need an experienced #2 wide receiver target behind Terry McLaurin. Right now rookie third round pick Antonio Williams, former Titans first round pick Treylon Burks, Commanders recent mid-round draft picks Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane, and Dyami Brown (who is back after a nondescript year in Jacksonville) are the current candidates for snaps and targets behind McLaurin. Landing in Washington is the best outcome for Diggs fantasy value, but the Commanders might not want to bring on a player who isn't known as a plus in the locker room.

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield hoping to sign extension Sun Jul 26, 11:33 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield would like to have a contract extension finalized by the time veterans report to training camp Tuesday, July 28, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. However, Fowler believes this is an 'artificial deadline' and that intensified negotiations could continue beyond this point if necessary. Mayfield is entering the final season of a three-year, $100 million deal.

Footballguys view: Most expect a deal to get done, but we shouldn't interpret a lack of a deal before camp opens as a bad sign for his future with the team. Mayfield has already had to bet on himself many times in his career and would probably look at going into the season without an extension as an opportunity to make even more on his eventual new deal with the team.

Former Carolina Panthers WR Kobe Prentice was claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots Saturday, July 25, according to a source.

Saints | NO, Chris Olave still talking deal Sat Jul 25, 03:17 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is still talking with the Saints about a possible contract extension, but his practice participation is not expected to affected by the contract talks, according to sources.

Footballguys view: Olave is set to play the 2026 season on his fifth-year option, but there could be a new extension done before the start of the regular season. He's gained some muscle this offseason, and reports indicate he's looked 'great' in limited work. Olave and the Saints have been talking for some time, and there was hope a deal could get done before the start of camp. They're still talking, but we have to see if any movement comes from these most recent conversations.

Rams | Matthew Stafford to sit Sunday Sat Jul 25, 03:07 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford is healthy but will not participate in practice Sunday, July 26, since the team will have a plan for his workload during training camp in hopes of keeping him fresh for the regular season, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Footballguys view: Last year, Stafford was quite limited in camp and the preseason. Then, he went on to have an MVP season for the Rams. They are hoping a similar approach in this year's camp/preseason will keep the future Hall of Fame QB playing at those MVP levels.

49ers | Tanner McLachlan joining SF Sat Jul 25, 03:01 PM

Free-agent TE Tanner McLachlan (Chargers) agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers Saturday, July 25. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived TE Khalil Dinkins (undisclosed) with a non-football injury designation.

49ers | Brandon Aiyuk still on left squad list Sat Jul 25, 02:42 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk will remain on the left squad list, and the team will focus on the players that reported for training camp, according to general manager John Lynch.

Footballguys view: Aiyuk has proclaimed that he would sign with the Commanders this offseason if the 49ers released him. Lynch made it sound like that's not going to happen anytime in the near future, so the NFL world waits (some more) for this Aiyuk situation to work itself out. Aiyuk did not play at all last year, and the last time he caught a pass in an NFL game was Week 7 of the 2024 season.

49ers | Isaac Guerendo not cleared yet Sat Jul 25, 02:28 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, July 25.

Footballguys view: Guerendo tore his pec lifting weights earlier this spring, and the plan was for him to be ready somewhere near the end of training camp. On the PUP list, Guerendo can be activated at any time during camp/preseason. When healthy, Guerendo is competing for a backup spot behind starting RB Christian McCaffrey with guys like Jordan James and Kaelon Black.

49ers | George Kittle placed on PUP list Sat Jul 25, 02:25 PM

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, July 25.

Footballguys view: Reports from earlier this month suggest Kittle is ahead of schedule in his recovery. Kittle admitted that he's had no setbacks earlier this offseason, and he believes that he's on track to play in Week 1. He has a current ADP of TE9 (9.06) in 12-team PPR leagues.

Rams | Ty Simpson agrees to contract Sat Jul 25, 02:17 PM

Los Angeles Rams first-round draft choice QB Ty Simpson agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Rams Saturday, July 25, worth $25.4 million. The deal includes a fifth-year option.

Footballguys view: The no.13 overall pick (that sent shockwaves around the NFL) can be seen as a future developmental starter for the Rams, and Simpson should be a good fit for the Sean McVay offense. While the Rams plan to manage QB Matthew Stafford's training camp reps, Simpson gets to impress the staff while competing with Stetson Bennett for the no.2 job.

Rams | Puka Nacua will be at camp Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua will report to training camp on time and participate in practices even though he is entering the final year of his contract, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Footballguys view: There was some speculation that Nacua could hold out as he seeks a new contract. One of the league's best receivers, Nacua has had a tumultuous offseason to say the least. Nacua could have to play out the year without an extension, even though Rams HC Sean McVay says he wants Nacua to be a Ram for a "really long time." We'll see him out there in camp, and then we'll monitor any progress on a new contract.

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett limited in practice Friday Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett did not take any snaps during the 11-on-11 portion of training camp practice Friday, July 24. However, he did some individual work and threw passes to WR Marvin Harrison Jr. after practice.

Footballguys view: Brissett is set to be the starter for the Cardinals this year, but he's still playing on the two-year, $12.5 million contract he signed to backup Kyler Murray a year ago. Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur said the team has had "productive" negotiations with Brissett as they work toward a new contract. Once a new contract is worked out, Brissett should work as the starter in all drills.

Bears | Zavion Thomas to be used multiple ways? Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM

Chicago Bears WR Zavion Thomas could be used on special teams, at wide receiver and in the backfield this season.

Footballguys view: Another day, and another report about Thomas being used in a variety of ways. The rookie receiver from LSU has been impressing this offseason, and Dynasty GMs are loving the news. Veteran WR Kalif Raymond should be the Bears' no.3 receiver behind Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. However, Thomas and that world-class speed are going to be tempting to get on the field - both on offense and special teams. Expect Thomas to push Raymond for snaps as the season goes on.

Dolphins | Caleb Douglas to start as a rookie? Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM

Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas has a chance to earn a starting role this season, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.

Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Texas Tech in the 2026 NFL Draft, Douglas has a great size-speed combination. With a large wingspan and the ability to take the top off the defense, Douglas could be a big-play weapon for QB Malik Willis. However, he needs to play with more physicality at the catch point and cut down on his concentration drops to truly play up to his potential. We'll see in training camp and the preseason how the Dolphins' WR depth chart shapes up with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Douglas competing for the top spots.

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks showing burst Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) 'looks fast' during practice, according to head coach Dave Canales. 'He looks like the guy that I remember, and I'm really excited for that,' Canales said.

Footballguys view: Brooks has been getting first-team reps in training camp, and there have been no limitations on him as he comes back from another knee injury. Most of his pro career has been missed due to ACL injuries, but expect a healthy Brooks to push for the eventual starting job in Carolina. At the beginning of the season, we expect Brooks and Chuba Hubbard to work in a RBBC. Brooks has a current ADP of RB38 (8.12) in 12-team PPR leagues. Injury risk is already cooked into his draft position, and clearly the upside is there for Brooks to do more.

Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan on the field Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM

Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot) has been able to practice at training camp after missing time during spring activities with a foot injury.

Footballguys view: While limited in the spring, McMillan was planning on being ready for the start of training camp - which he is. He had a spectacular season as a rookie (70 catches, 1,014 yards, seven touchdowns), so Fantasy GMs are taking him at WR17 (4.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. With reports suggesting McMillan will play more 'big slot' this year, he could outperform his ADP.

Chargers | Bolts counting on Tre Harris Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM

Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris is expected to be 'a legitimate part of the passing offense' in 2026, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN.com.

Footballguys view: This has been a consistent drumbeat this offseason - everyone is expecting a breakout season from Harris. The second-year pro has incredible run-after-the-catch skill, something that should serve him well in a Mike McDaniel offense. We like Harris as a WR7 for your fantasy team, and this positive offseason buzz means Fantasy GMs should be considering him a late-round flier.

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes to wear knee brace Sat Jul 25, 01:12 PM

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) said he will start wearing a knee brace on his surgically repaired knee but does not knee if he will remove the brace at some point.

Footballguys view: We'll see how Mahomes likes playing with the brace through training camp and the preseason. Mahomes has said that he plans to do "everything" he did before, and his recovery shows he's on track to do that. However, Mahomes has admitted that he might have run a bit too much last year. He plans to hand the ball off to RB Kenneth Walker "if all else fails" and "let him go to work."

Cardinals | James Conner practices Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) practiced Thursday, July 23.

Footballguys view: It is important that Conner practices so that he can retain trade value for the Cardinals, who have four viable running backs, and potential fantasy value as a target for any team that needs a veteran running back to bolster their depth chart or replace a starter who goes down with a practice or preseason injury.

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett practices Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is scheduled to participate in practice Thursday, July 23, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.

Footballguys view: There's no holdout here, as reportedly "productive" talks to add compensation to Brissett's contract are ongoing. Brissett is on track to start Week 1, but it sems unlikely that he will be starting in Week 18, and he could be replaced by fourth round pick Carson Beck once the team is out of playoff contention, or even once they have an extended losing streak.

Giants | Projection of No PUP list for Malik Nabers Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) will not start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.

Footballguys view: This won't be confirmed until Nabers passes a physical, but it is a turn to a more optimistic view of Nabers recovery from knee surgery than we heard during the offseason. His ADP is likely to spike back into the second round, and Jaxson Dart's stock could also be lifted by this news. Still, it was reported elsewhere yesterday that Nabers has a "realistic chance" of playing Week 1, which indicates that this isn't exactly a routine return from a routine knee surgery. Nabers had a second surgery around late April/early May to "clean up" scar tissue that was causing stiffness. We will be monitoring this closely, stay tuned.

Chiefs | Rashee Rice cleared for practice Fri Jul 24, 04:09 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) has been cleared to practice during training camp, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Footballguys view: This is good news after Rice had a minor knee surgery and then immediately reported to jail for 30 days for a probation violation. He was allowed to leave jail for injury rehab, and the surgery was in May, so as long as Rice doesn't have a setback, we can consider him healthy.

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes has clearance to practice Fri Jul 24, 03:55 PM

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) has clearance to practice 'fully,' according to head coach Andy Reid.

Footballguys view: This isn't a surprise now, but it would have been right after he suffered a catastrophic knee injury and had surgery on December 15. That means he has been cleared to practice fully a little over seven months after going under the knife. He's just built different, mentally and physically. Still, you have to wonder if the team will limit his running, at least early in the season, which was a big source of fantasy value for Mahomes last year.
