Link to story Saints | Barion Brown 'is a receiver' according to Kellen Moore Fri May 8, 02:18 PM
New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore told the media on Friday, May 8, that WR Barion Brown 'is a receiver as well not just a returner.'
| Footballguys view: Brown has plenty of receiving skill in addition to what he can do as a returner. He's blazing fast, and that speed is evident once he gets to the open field. In fantasy leagues that reward return yardage, we're excited about Brown's future. |
Giants | Malachi Fields signs rookie deal Fri May 8, 08:26 AM
New York Giants third-round draft choice WR Malachi Fields signed a four-year contract with the Giants Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Giants got a boss receiver here in Fields. Giants GM Joe Schoen said Fields will be the "power forward" in their wideout room. From a fantasy perspective we could see a big play or two in the preseason having Fantasy GMs ready to take Fields with a later-round pick. He's no doubt a player for all to monitor. |
Panthers | Chris Brazzell signs contract Fri May 8, 08:17 AM
Carolina Panthers third-round draft choice WR Chris Brazzell II signed a four-year contract with the Panthers Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell measures in at 6-feet, 4-inches and he can run a 4.3 40-yard dash. That size/speed combination could make him a favorite target for QB Bryce Young. Brazzell can operate 'above the rim' which makes him a great red-zone option too. |
Vikings | Jauan Jennings agrees to deal with Minnesota Fri May 8, 01:21 AM
Free agent WR Jauan Jennings (49ers) has reached an agreement with the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year, $13 million deal.
| Footballguys view: It will be interesting to see Jennings on the field with the Vikings behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. With Jennings ability as a blocker, he doesn't need to come off the field. We'll likely see him settle in as a WR4/deep flex option for Fantasy GMs in 2026. |

Jaguars | CJ Williams under contract Thu May 7, 05:58 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars sixth-round draft choice WR CJ Williams signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Williams did snare 59 receptions in 2025, leading Stanford with 749 yards and six scores. The Jaguars certainly went deep with this late-round selection. We'll see if Jaguars GM James Gladstone found a diamond in the rough or not. Fantasy GMs in super deep dynasty leagues should monitor the rookie. |

Jaguars | Travis Hunter will still have offensive role Thu May 7, 05:11 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter will still see work as a wide receiver during the 2026 season but will see an increase in snaps at cornerback during the season, according to general manager James Gladstone.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is not going to exclusively play cornerback as some had previously suggested. Not only has Hunter pushed back on that, but now the Jaguars GM says the same thing. Hunter can be a playmaker on both sides of the ball, but many Fantasy GMs are nervous about his usage at wide receiver this year. His fantasy value in year two may not be what some wanted/expected, but Hunter can have a fantasy impact (perhaps in the flex range). |
Buccaneers | Ted Hurst under contract Thu May 7, 04:31 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers third-round draft choice WR Ted Hurst signed a four-year contract with the Buccaneers Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers selected Hurst out of Georgia State with the No. 84 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He's got a great size/speed combination and has the physical traits to be a big-play weapon in the NFL. Jumping from the Sun Belt to the NFL is quite the leap, so Hurst has plenty to prove entering his first NFL season. |

Packers | Bigger role expected for Matthew Golden Wed May 6, 04:17 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden will receive a bigger role in the offense this upcoming season and should see an increase in his production, according to offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich.
| Footballguys view: After Romeo Doubs left in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks was traded to Philadelphia, there's a path for Golden to succeed. Christian Watson will be the field-stretcher. Jayden Reed should return to a featured role after missing nine games to injury. But Golden, a 2025 first-round pick -- Green Bay's first wideout taken in Round 1 in over two decades -- will get ample opportunity to prove his worth. Golden is being drafted as WR52. Landing him as your WR4 or WR5 in Round 10 in hopes of a breakout is a reasonable approach. |
Cardinals | Potential interest in Aaron Rodgers? Wed May 6, 12:51 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) was courted on social media by Arizona Cardinals WR Kendrick Bourne, but Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur stated that the team is 'focused on the guys we've got coming in', according to an interview with Jim Rome on Tuesday, May 5.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers' recent decision to apply the unrestricted free agency tender to Rodgers has sparked speculation as to whether Rodgers may be thinking about signing with another team. That speculation has centered on the Cardinals. But Josh Weinfuss of ESPN asked "a source" if the talk "was real." The response was this: "Not at all." As PFT noted, despite the links to LaFleur and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, the Cardinals face a stiff challenge in 2026 -- one that would make it difficult for Rodgers to cap his career with a playoff berth. |

NFL | Stefon Diggs found not guilty Wed May 6, 12:50 AM
Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) was found not guilty on Tuesday, May 5, of felony strangulation and other criminal charges stemming from a dispute with his personal chef.
| Footballguys view: The acquittal clears a path for Diggs' return to the field, but he still could face discipline from the NFL. "We have been monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review of the personal conduct policy," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tuesday. Diggs, who the Patriots released in March, was a key target for Drake Maye during the team's AFC East title run. Diggs' 1,000-yard season marked the seventh of his career. We'll see if teams wait for some resolution from the league before offers start coming in for the veteran wideout. |

Cowboys | Dallas remains firm they will not trade George Pickens Tue May 5, 03:27 PM
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones stated on Tuesday, May 5, that the team remains steadfast that they will not trade WR George Pickens.
| Footballguys view: Pickens has signed his franchise tag, but hasn't landed a long-term deal with the team. There haven't been any indications that the two sides are making progress toward any longer arrangement. Meanwhile, the wideout is not taking part in voluntary workouts with teammates, but the Cowboys have a mandatory minicamp in June, and Pickens would be subject to fines if he skipped that camp. Jones said he expects Pickens to be there, while referencing quarterback Dak Prescott doing the same thing after being tagged in 2020. So we have expectations. Now we'll wait to see if Pickens meets them. |

Packers | Chase Claypool will not be joining team Mon May 4, 03:34 PM
Free-agent WR Chase Claypool (Bills) will not be signing with the Green Bay Packers after he participated in the team's rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.
| Footballguys view: Claypool was one of nine players to try out for the team during their rookie minicamp over the weekend. None of the nine tryout players were signed. Claypool was drafted 49th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2020 NFL Draft. In 58 career games, Claypool totaled 175 receptions, 2,261 receiving yards, and 13 touchdowns. He remains an unrestricted free agent available to any team interested. |

49ers | Two WRs may compete for No. 3 job Mon May 4, 03:19 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Christian Kirk and WR De'Zhaun Stribling will likely compete for the No. 3 receiver job during training camp, in the opinion of NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco.
| Footballguys view: Stribling's draft position -- he went in the second round, well ahead of expectations -- has him soaring up rookie boards. While he'll likely battle Kirk for that No. 3 spot, Maiocco acknowledges it's possible that if Ricky Pearsall provides an opening, Stribling could take over a more significant role in this offense. As the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide said of Stribling, "He is risky, but has the profile to be a breakout rookie." |

Browns | Jerry Jeudy to rebound? Mon May 4, 12:53 AM
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy is a player the team believes will 'flourish' this season and reclaim his role as the No. 1 receiver, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
| Footballguys view: Jeudy delivered 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns in 2024. In 2025, he finished with just 50 catches for 602 yards and two touchdowns. He also finished second in the league with 10 drops. Still, GM Andrew Berry told reporters this week that the draft will have "zero impact" on Jeudy, and he doubled down, saying that Jeudy is Cleveland's "bell cow." A WR room of Jeudy, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston holds a lot of potential. If the rookies hit the ground running and live up to their potential, they can unlock the best of Jeudy. |
Jerry Jeudy player page
Ravens | Elijah Sarratt pegged for the slot Mon May 4, 12:44 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Elijah Sarratt is expected to play in the slot.
| Footballguys view: According to Footballguy Sigmund Bloom, Sarratt is a classic possession receiver who finds a way to win despite less than stellar athleticism. He probably won't ever be fantasy relevant, but could be a spot starter due to injury as a stalwart backup receiver. |
Bengals | DeAndre Hopkins reiterates desire for Cincinnati Mon May 4, 12:43 AM
Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins (Ravens) said in an interview over the weekend that he remains interested in joining the Cincinnati Bengals in 2026. 'I think (Joe Burrow) is one of the best,' Hopkins said in a Saturday interview while attending the Kentucky Derby. 'I love his game, his toughness. He took his team to a Super Bowl early in his career and I feel like he can get back there with a little bit of help.'
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, Hopkins may not be the player he was earlier in his career. Still, he would be a solid third receiver to have behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and a more reliable option than Andrei Iosivas in the slot. That wouldn't make Hopkins fantasy relevant, but it would benefit Cincy's offense. Hopkins' versatility would allow the Bengals to continue moving Chase around on the field. |

Titans | Carnell Tate was clear-cut pick for Tennessee Sun May 3, 02:33 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and assistant general manager Dave Ziegler said the team was 'unequivocal in its belief' that Tate was the best fit for the team going forward. 'At the end of the day with Carnell, we just had a very good, consensus vision on what he is going to do, where he is going to play, how he is going to fit in and what he is going to bring to this team,' Ziegler said. 'We feel we are really getting a complete three-down player. ... He was a clear guy for us to take and we are really excited about it.'
| Footballguys view: Tate gives the Cam Ward and the Titans a boundary receiver who runs precise routes, with great size and contested-catch ability. Remember, the Titans were tied with the Raiders and Jets for last in the league with three completions of 40 yards or more. Tate caught five touchdown passes of at least 40 yards at Ohio State last season. Tate's initial post-draft Footballguys projection has him at WR33 with 73 catches, 976 yards, and six touchdowns. But Tate has the upside to outperform that projection if Ward takes a Year 2 leap. |
Ravens | Like size, length of Ja'Kobi Lane Sun May 3, 01:26 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane was a pick that differed from public opinion, but general manager Eric DeCosta likes what he saw in the evaluation process, and Lane had a connection to a former Baltimore great. 'Our board is our board. We do months of work, and sometimes our evaluations differ from public consensus. Lane is a big receiver -- 6'4', ran a 4.46, excellent at contested catches with great hands,' DeCosta said. 'He has a connection through Todd Heap. We think he can be a real weapon for Lamar, especially adding big-bodied jump-ball guys after losing some speed.'
| Footballguys view: The Ravens doubled down on adding a big body receiver, adding Lane at Pick 80 and Elijah Sarratt at pick 115. Zay Flowers is entrenched as Baltimore's top receiver, while Rashod Bateman is signed through 2029. Lane and Sarratt will compete with third-year Devontez Walker for the WR3 role. According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Guide, Lane holds more upside while Sarratt is further into his developmental curve and could contribute sooner. Lane shines as a red-zone threat, a need in the Ravens receiver room. |
Titans | Fast start for Tyren Montgomery Sat May 2, 09:50 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Tyren Montgomery made a 'pretty good first impression' at rookie minicamp, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com.
Link to story Giants | Malachi Fields praised by GM Sat May 2, 05:25 PM
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields can be a 'power forward' in the wide receiver room because of his size and blocking ability, according to general manager Joe Schoen.
| Footballguys view: Fields absolutely can dominate on contested catches. He might be the best in this rookie class when it comes to wrestling the ball away from smaller defenders. Fields has reliable hands and does a great job showing 'late hands' on deep throws, so the defender is not tipped off to an incoming ball. The third-round pick is a bit buried on the Giants' depth chart, but it may not take long for him to rise in the preseason. |
49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling the total package Sat May 2, 05:25 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling's run blocking ability stood out, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. 'He has an elite blocking skill,' Shanahan said.
| Footballguys view: Stribling's film was outstanding, and he cemented his draft stock with a blazing 4.36 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. His speed and strong hands make him a playmaker - and one who can do a lot of damage after the catch. Stribling is a great blocker entering the pros, and that can get him on the field faster than others from this rookie class. He's competing to establish a pecking order behind Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk. |
Seahawks | Emmanuel Henderson signs rookie deal Sat May 2, 05:25 PM
Seattle Seahawks sixth-round draft choice WR Emmanuel Henderson Jr. signed a four-year contract with the Seahawks Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Henderson steps into the pro game with the ability to immediately impact the game on special teams as a return man or a gunner. A converted running back, Henderson can make big plays as a receiving weapon. He needs to refine his route-running ability, but Henderson is a player who can rack up yards after the catch regularly. He's a depth receiver on offense, but Henderson gets the benefit of learning behind Rashid Shaheed (on both offense and special teams). |
Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane under contract Sat May 2, 05:25 PM
Baltimore Ravens third-round draft choice WR Ja'Kobi Lane signed a four-year contract with the Ravens Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Lane is a high-upside 'X' receiver with a nice size/speed combination. He's got strong hands to win at the catch point, and with more strength added in an NFL weight progam he could be even tougher to beat on 50/50 throws. Lane will compete for a spot on the Ravens depth chart behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Tez Walker. |
