  Saints | Bryce Lance viewed as development project    Sun May 24, 06:01 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Bryce Lance is viewed as a tall, developmental player who hasn't had experience competing at the highest level. 'He didn't play at a Power 4 conference, so there's probably some development that we need to do there,' general manager Mickey Loomis said.

  Saints | Barion Brown will have ton of competition    Sun May 24, 05:42 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Barion Brown made some nice catches at rookie minicamp, and head coach Kellen Moore said that the team views him as more of just a kick-return specialist. 'He's had a lot of success at receiver and so we certainly see that vision for him in addition to the return game that obviously everyone knows,' Moore said.

  Dolphins | MIA want Malik Willis to focus on offense    Sun May 24, 05:39 PM

Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis has been told to focus on learning the offensive system and can work on becoming a team leader later, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.

Footballguys view: The Dolphins GM has said that they gave Willis a three-year deal because they want to build a team around him. This is consistent with that approach- namely a long term commitment to Willis, as opposed to a one-year "prove it" evaluation timeframe. Willis has more value in superflex dynasty leagues than the fantasy community is assigning to him.

  Panthers | Three could compete for No. 3 WR spot    Sun May 24, 05:39 PM

Carolina Panthers WRs Xavier Legette, John Metchie and Chris Brazzell II may compete for the No. 3 receiver job during the offseason workouts and training camp, in the opinion of PanthersWire's Anthony Rizzuti.

Footballguys view: The Panthers pass offense isn't at the level where it can support three fantasy relevant wide receivers, but if Legette starts to show first round pick promise or Brazzell is ready for prime time as a third round rookie, it will help Bryce Young and really the whole offense take a step forward. Legette has the size and speed to be a run after catch threat, but hasn't shown the ability to win downfield. Brazzell is a long, fast, flexible receiver in the mold of George Pickens, who could make a splash right away given the quality of Young's deep ball.

  Saints | Oscar Delp could serve as TE3 in NOLA    Sun May 24, 05:07 PM

New Orleans Saints TE Oscar Delp could be the third tight end behind starting TE Juwan Johnson and veteran addition TE Noah Fant, with TE/QB Taysom Hill unsigned, and journeyman TE Foster Moreau gone. 'Obviously he has athleticism. We saw that on film. The physicality I think he plays with will show up as we progress, particularly in pads,' head coach Kellen Moore said. 'That'll be a big part of this thing because from a tight end perspective, that's a deep group now, which is a positive.'

  Saints | Jordyn Tyson on maintenance plan    Sun May 24, 05:00 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson was one of several players on a 'maintenance plan' to build them back up after significant time out of football, beat writer Katherine Terrell said. 'I know my body pretty well, I've endured a couple of injuries so I kind of know, but I'm just trying to learn as much as possible and do as much as possible,' Tyson said. When he was on the field, he moved around, taking snaps at all three receiver positions.

  49ers | Brandon Aiyuk might show up at OTAs    Sun May 24, 03:35 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk might show up to organized team activities (OTAs), which would force the team to take him off of the reserve/did not report (R/DNR) list.

Footballguys view: There have been a lot of rumors about Aiyuk being out of shape and not committed to playing, but he can put those to rest by showing up for OTAs and being in football shape. If the 49ers trade or release Aiyuk, he is highly likely to end up reunited with his college teammate Jayden Daniels in Washington.

  Bengals | Joe Burrow not contacted about restructuring contract    Sun May 24, 11:08 AM

  Steelers | Pat Freiermuth has contract restructured    Sun May 24, 10:26 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth had his contract restructured Saturday, May 23, according to multiple sources. The move allows the team to free up some salary cap space for the 2026 season. Pittsburgh turned a portion of Freiermuth's $7.6 base salary for the upcoming campaign into a roster bonus, after he had already earned a $1.3 million roster bonus back in March.

Footballguys view: The Steelers continue to be in "win now" mode even though their ceiling is probably one postseason win. Freiermuth is worth a look late in TE premium drafts as Jonnu Smith is unlikely to come back, which will give Freiermuth a bigger share of the tight end targets and snaps.

  NFL | Taysom Hill could consider retirement    Sat May 23, 03:19 PM

  49ers | QB impressed with De'Zhaun Stribling    Sat May 23, 01:54 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling has been impressive this offseason and has a chance to have an immediate impact on offense, according to QB Brock Purdy. 'Stribling's a guy that has a lot of raw talent, and just throwing routes on air to him and getting a feel for how he moves and his speed, he's a guy that, obviously once we get him in the playbook a lot and get reps with each other on the field, I feel like he's going to be a guy that can come in and make an instant impact,' Purdy said.

Footballguys view: The 49ers selected Stribling in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and he was an intriguing prospect coming out of Ole Miss because of his size/speed combination and tenacious blocking. In a Shanahan system, you have to block to get the rock, so Stribling could work his way into the mix behind Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk. Stribling is a talented player who could thrive as a rookie if he gets a larger role (likely due to injury above him on the depth chart).

  Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet not at workouts    Sat May 23, 01:19 PM

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) has not been seen at the voluntary workouts this offseason.

Footballguys view: No surprise here. Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the Seahawks' divisional round win over the 49ers last postseason, and didn't have surgery to repair the injury until February. Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said Charbonnet is "not going to miss the whole year." We expect Charbonnet to be on PUP to begin the regular season. That means 2026 first-round pick Jadarian Price will have the opportunity to be the team's lead back in Week 1. We see Price as an RB2/3 with upside in that role, and he could keep that role for much of the regular season as Charbonnet continues to recover.

  Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett could miss upcoming OTAs    Sat May 23, 11:35 AM

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett could miss next week's organized team activities, according to a source. He has not attended any of the team's prior voluntary OTAs or the voluntary offseason program because of disappointment over his current contract situation. The Cardinals will also hold a mandatory minicamp for veterans and rookies June 8-10.

Footballguys view: Brissett wants a contract that reflects his starting status with the team. He can make up to $5.39 million this year, and Brissett only has $1.5 million in guarantees for the 2026 season. Compare that to what Gardner Minshew has in guarantees on his one-year deal ($5.14 million), and you can see why Brissett is taking this position. When the work becomes mandatory in June, Brissett should be in attendance regardless of a new contract.

  Patriots | NE hesitant to part with first-rounder for A.J. Brown    Sat May 23, 11:03 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown is someone that the New England Patriots hope that they can acquire in exchange for a second-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, the Eagles are still seeking a first-round draft pick in any potential trade involving Brown.

Footballguys view: The belief about a month ago was that a first-round pick from the Patriots would be what seals the deal. The Patriots may want a lower price, but they're without leverage in this situation - especially if a team like the Chiefs jumps into the mix. There are speculative reports (Albert Breer) that suggest the Chiefs might consider making a move for Brown because of the Rashee Rice situation. Stay tuned.

  Cowboys | George Pickens unlikely to engage in lengthy holdout    Sat May 23, 10:25 AM

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens has been doing off-site workouts with QB Dak Prescott this offseason but has not been a regular at the club's optional workouts. He is seeking a contract extension but is not expected to engage in a lengthy holdout, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.

Footballguys view: Pickens signed his franchise tender about a month ago, and that fully guarantees him $27.3 million for the 2026 season. He obviously wants a long-term deal, and it seems like Pickens is willing to work with the Cowboys. However, signing the franchise tender takes away a lot of leverage with the team. Pickens is not a regular at voluntary workouts, but when mandatory minicamp happens in June, we expect him to be in full attendance.

  Saints | Team to be patient with Bryce Lance    Sat May 23, 10:25 AM

New Orleans Saints WR Bryce Lance will need some time to develop, according to general manager Mickey Loomis.

Footballguys view: The brother of Chargers QB Trey Lance, the Saints rookie was a star at the FCS level in college at North Dakota State. Lance is an elite vertical threat who can regularly win at the catch point. With a fine size/speed combination, Lance is an exciting prospect when fully developed in the pros. That's why we appreciate the 2026 fourth-round pick in dynasty formats.

  Saints | Oscar Delp to have limited role?    Sat May 23, 10:25 AM

New Orleans Saints TE Oscar Delp is going to have to do some 'dirty work' and contribute on special teams, according to head coach Kellen Moore.

Footballguys view: Delp's path to playing time as a rookie will include plenty of dirty work on special teams and as a blocker on offense. Coming out of Georgia, Delp is a dual-threat "Y" tight end who can contribute as a blocker and receiver. His receiving chops are what Fantasy GMs have interest in, and Delp has the speed to stretch the seam in the middle of the field. He'll have time to develop behind Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant in 2026, but we love Delp's upside in dynasty formats.

  Saints | Jordyn Tyson lined up all over    Sat May 23, 10:25 AM

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson took snaps at all three receiver positions during rookie minicamp.

Footballguys view: Tyson was arguably the best receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft, and it's wise for the Saints to use him all over the field. Saints HC Kellen Moore may have a plan to use the talented rookie as a chess piece he can move around. Tyson immediately jumps into the mix as the no.2 option behind Chris Olave in the WR pecking order. If Tyson develops chemistry with QB Tyler Shough, we could see him pay off as a flex-worthy play for Fantasy GMs.

  Chargers | David Njoku to add to offense    Sat May 23, 10:25 AM

Los Angeles Chargers TE David Njoku will provide 'valuable experience' to the tight end room and 'help it open up for other people' on offense, according to tight ends coach Chandler Henley.

Footballguys view: Njoku could be a key contributor in OC Mike McDaniel's offense. Look to what Jonnu Smith did under McDaniel with the Dolphins (88 catches, 886 yards, eight touchdowns) as an example of what the role for Njoku could be with the Chargers. Njoku is a seasoned veteran, and he'll get to mentor second-year TE Orande Gadsden (who we love in dynasty). If he splits snaps/targets with Gadsden, Njoku could be in the TE2/3 range for Fantasy GMs this year.

  Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett not close to deal    Sat May 23, 10:25 AM

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is far apart in his contract extension talks with the Cardinals, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Brissett has been staying away from voluntary workouts while he pushes for a new contract. He is set to be the starter in Week 1, but the team also added Gardner Minshew this offseason and selected Carson Beck in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. In the second year of his deal (and final year of his contract), Brissett only has $1.5 million in guarantees.

  Cowboys | Ryan Flournoy strong option for No. 3 job    Sat May 23, 10:25 AM

Dallas Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy seems to be the leading candidate for the No. 3 receiver job entering training camp, in the opinion of DallasCowboys.com's Kurt Daniels.

Footballguys view: The no.3 receiver in an elite passing attack like the Cowboys will have fantasy value. Flournoy is competing for the no.3 spot behind superstars CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. He'll have to beat out guys like KaVontae Turpin, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Tyler Johnson for that job. Flournoy should be able to build off his 2025 season, where he had a few big games for the Cowboys. Last year, he had 40 catches on 56 targets for 475 yards and four touchdowns. Flournoy is a deep flex for Fantasy GMs with upside if injuries strike at the position.

  Giants | NYG unsure if Malik Nabers will be ready for the season    Sat May 23, 10:25 AM

ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Friday, May 22, that New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) 'don't know if he'll be ready for opening day.'

Footballguys view: Nabers has a goal to be ready for the start of the season, according to head coach John Harbaugh, but nothing is guaranteed. He's in the building working hard on his recovery, but Nabers is dealing with a knee injury suffered last October that required a second surgery (cleanup) in February. Fantasy GMs will get more clarity on his status when training camp hits in late July. If healthy, Nabers is a top-12 fantasy receiver.

  Rams | Matthew Stafford new deal signals extended career?    Sat May 23, 10:25 AM

ESPN's Adam Schefter commented on the new deal that Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford signed on Thursday, May 21, saying, 'I think with a deal like this it shows that he's probably planning on playing a couple more years.'

Footballguys view: The Rams signed Stafford to a one-year, $55 million extension through 2027. This gives the Rams a locked-in starter for two more years, and Stafford keeps them in Super Bowl contention. The new extension for Stafford also gives rookie first-round QB Ty Simpson a couple of years to learn as the primary backup to the future Hall of Fame quarterback.

  Saints | Kendre Miller could have competition    Fri May 22, 02:26 PM

New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller is not guaranteed to be the No. 2 back if RB Alvin Kamara does not return to the team, according to Mike Triplett of New Orleans Football, and Triplett believes the Saints would 'go shopping' for a reliable backup if Kamara is not with the team.

Footballguys view: Miller has failed to endear himself to Kellen Moore and his coaching staff going into the last year of his rookie deal after the team drafted him in the third round back in 2023. Last year's sixth round pick Devin Neal and Broncos 2024 fourth round pick Audric Estime both looked competent after Kamara and Miller went down last year, and either of them could beat out Miller for a roster spot whether Kamara is with the team this year or not.

  Giants | Jaxson Dart working on sliding    Fri May 22, 02:26 PM

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart said he has been studying tape of his scrambles with quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan to work on knowing when sliding is the better option.

Footballguys view: This indicates that the new Giants regime doesn't want Dart to lose his scrambling edge. His added value from running the ball last year isn't fully baked into his ADP, with Dart falling to around QB10 in early drafts. He could be a hit if Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo play like their pre-injury selves in 2026.

  Giants | Darius Slayton should be ready for camp    Fri May 22, 02:26 PM

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (hernia) should be ready for the start of training camp after undergoing sports hernia surgery this offseason, according to head coach John Harbaugh.

Footballguys view: With Malik Nabers unsure for Week 1, Slayton will have a chance to start and be a focal point of the downfield passing game. He'll compete with free agent signing Darnell Mooney, who had the best year of his career under new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy in Chicago, and third round pick Malachi Fields. This is a battle to watch in training camp along with Nabers progress in recovery from a second knee surgery.

  Dolphins | Miami adds Carlos Washington    Fri May 22, 02:26 PM

Free-agent RB Carlos Washington Jr. (Falcons) signed with the Miami Dolphins Thursday, May 21. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived TE Jalin Conyers.

Footballguys view: Washington spent the last three years on the Falcons practice squad. He's a versatile back who has a chance to make the Dolphins as their fourth running back behind De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Ollie Gordon II after priority UDFA signing Le'Veon Moss retired shortly following Miami signing him when he went undrafted this year.

Free agent RB Salvon Ahmed (Colts) and DB Anthony Johnson Jr. (Giants) signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday, May 21. In a corresponding move, they waived RB Deion Hankins.

Footballguys view: Ahmed suffered a serious ankle injury in camp last year, but was declared fully healthy and will vie for a roster spot behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai in Chicago. Ahmed's initial burst was NFL quality in his cup of coffee with the Dolphins earlier in his career, so we shouldn't completely write him off.

  Titans | Cam Ward down 10 pounds     Fri May 22, 01:03 PM

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward told the media he has lost 10 pounds this offseason ahead of the new season.

Footballguys view: Many observers commented this week on Ward looking svelte upon his return to the practice field. This can only enhance his ability to add fantasy value as a scrambler. He's going outside of the top 20 at his position, but the Titans made some big additions on offense in the offseason and Ward improved as his rookie season went on with his team falling apart around him. If the ragtag offensive line can hold up, Ward could be one of the biggest breakout quarterbacks of 2026 fantasy drafts.

  NFL | Tyreek Hill could miss half the season    Fri May 22, 10:01 AM

Free-agent WR Tyreek Hill (knee) could miss the first half of the season, ESPN insider Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show.

Footballguys view: Generally, teams don't like to sign injured players and prefer wait until they are healthy. That means that Hill might not be signed before the season. There has been little buzz about interest around the league, so there's no signing on the horizon at this point. This news should also discourage you from taking Hill in best ball drafts before the very late rounds.

Free-agent WR Keenan Allen (Chargers) is a player the Los Angeles Chargers are open to re-signing this offseason, according to general manager Joe Hortiz. Hortiz said he has talked with Allen's agent this offseason.

Footballguys view: The Chargers are watching to see what their young receivers look like this offseason. If they feel like some veteran depth is needed, adding Allen is an easy call. Last year, Allen snared 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns.

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward is not having any issues with his right shoulder during offseason workouts despite injuring the shoulder in the last game of the 2025 season, according to head coach Robert Saleh.

Footballguys view: Great news for the Titans here. Ward showed as a rookie that the game is not too big for him, and that gives us confidence about him taking the next step as a passer in 2026. Titans OC Brian Daboll said the team is installing the new system and Ward "is able to pick things up very quickly."

Footballguys view: Nabers tore his ACL in early October last year, and he's been on the road to recovery since then.

Expect to see him out there in training camp, but it might be closer to the end of camp before Nabers gets ramped up.

Jacksonville Jaguars second-round draft choice TE Nate Boerkircher signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Wednesday, May 20. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Boerkircher is a traditional "Y" tight end. He's mainly a blocker, and he can be a devastating blocker for the Jaguars. Fantasy GMs aren't getting points for blocks, so the rookie may not have much value in our game - even in dynasty formats. Brenton Strange is the team's move tight end and best receiving weapon at the position.

  Raiders | Kirk Cousins the frontrunner for QB1?    Thu May 21, 11:25 AM

Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins took a majority of the reps with the first-team offense at practice Wednesday, May 20, and the 'expectation' is that Cousins will open the season as the starter, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com.

Footballguys view: No surprise here. Cousins is the seasoned veteran who knows the Kubiak (Shanahan) system like the back of his hand. Fernando Mendoza will take over as the starter at some point in the near future, but Cousins should be the starter for at least the first month of the season.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow said he wants to break the franchise record for touchdowns this season. Burrow is 48 passing touchdowns away from the mark.

Footballguys view: Burrow had a career-high 43 touchdowns in 2024, so he'd have to go over his personal best to pass the franchise record in 2026. If Burrow stays healthy, pushing for over 45 passing touchdowns is well within reason. However, we've currently got Burrow projected at 36 passing touchdowns in our consensus rankings.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin said he is happy that offensive coordinator David Blough plans to make him a focal point in the offense. Blough has said he wants to target McLaurin 10 times per game.

Footballguys view: Blough said that about McLaurin a few months ago, and the veteran receiver is fired up to make that happen. Ten targets per game is a healthy number, especially when you consider the career-high for McLaurin is 8.9 targets per game. Last year was an injury-riddled season for McLaurin where he only played in 10 games. This year if healthy, McLaurin is likely a WR2 for Fantasy GMs this season.

Footballguys view: Mendoza is known as a coachable and competitive player, so it's not a shock to hear how Kubiak appreciated the no.1 overall pick. With Kirk Cousins on the roster, Mendoza can take the time to develop his skill set for the pro game. We expect Cousins to begin the regular season as the starter with Mendoza taking over when they're out of contention (halfway through the year?).
