Chargers | D.J. Chark joining Bolts Fri May 3, 12:53 AM
Free-agent WR DJ Chark Jr. (Panthers) has agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Chark is still a speed merchant who can take the top off the defense. The Chargers are going to run the heck out of the ball this year, and that should set up play-action opportunities for downfield strikes. Chark has 'what the heck' flex appeal in that role, and he could have a higher upside given the currently unknown pecking order. If someone like Quentin Johnston doesn't come through with more consistent play, Chark could be the one who elevates his game. |

Ravens | Zay Flowers finished strong Fri May 3, 12:53 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers recorded five touchdowns in the final five games of the regular season after managing just one touchdown in his first 11 games.
| Footballguys view: Flowers is looking to carry over that momentum to this season. The 2023 first-round pick flashed big-time ability as a rookie, and we like him as a WR3/flex option with the upside to finish his second season as a WR2 for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Falcons | Atlanta counting on Darnell Mooney Fri May 3, 12:53 AM
Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney will be relied on regularly this season with the new offense expected to feature three-receiver sets 90% of the time, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Mooney can get by defenders in a hurry, and he's set to be a deep target for QB Kirk Cousins in 2024. Getting a fresh start with the Falcons, we'll see if the former Bears fifth-round pick (2020) can produce like he did in 2021 when he was a 1,000-yard receiver. From a fantasy perspective, Mooney is a WR5/WR6 with upside. |

Steelers | Long-term deal possible for Najee Harris Fri May 3, 12:53 AM
Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris had his fifth-year option declined because the team wants to see how he performs in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's scheme but are open to signing him to a long-term deal in the future, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: We'll see what Harris agrees to - if he agrees to a long-term deal given the state of the market at the running back position. Jaylen Warren and Harris will continue to provide the Steelers with the core of their offense on the ground in 2024. |

49ers | San Francisco not looking to move WRs Fri May 3, 12:53 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel and WR Brandon Aiyuk are players the 49ers are not looking to trade, according to general manager John Lynch.
| Footballguys view: They're not going to trade Samuel and Aiyuk, and that's something they've been expressing for some time. If the right offer came in - sure - but right now they'll move forward with their dynamic duo at receiver. Aiyuk is in the final year of his rookie deal, and the 49ers may not be able to afford keeping him around for the future. Stay tuned. |

Texans | Houston still high on Dameon Pierce Thu May 2, 02:27 PM
Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce will be 'a big part of what we're doing (in 2024),' according to general manager Nick Caserio during his appearance on Sports Radio 610 on Thursday, May 2.'The big thing right now is to be in good condition - which he is. Watching him move on the field, he looks pretty good. Everybody's looking forward to the opportunity in front of them; you can't worry about what's happened in the past. He's got as good an attitude as anyone on the team. We're glad DP is here. He's going to be a big part of what we're doing. He's working his (butt) off so far, which is great to see,' Caserio told
| Footballguys view: Pierce needs to perform better than he did last year (2.9 YPC is terrible). In 2024, the Texans are counting on Joe Mixon to do the heavy lifting in the backfield. We'll see how Pierce works into the mix after that. |
Giants | Daniel Jones coming along nicely in rehab Thu May 2, 02:11 PM
Updating a previous report, New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (knee) told reporters on Thursday, May 2, that he is 'in a good spot' with his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will be ready for training camp this summer.
| Footballguys view: We'll know more about Jones when training camp gets here. Jones is returning from a November knee injury, and there seems to be some optimism about his availability for Week 1 of the regular season. We should see Drew Lock get plenty of work in camp and the preseason as the Giants ease Jones back into action. If Jones isn't ready, Lock will be ready to be the starter. |

Browns | GM happy with Nick Chubb's recovery Thu May 2, 01:36 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is feeling 'pretty good' and 'progressing nicely' as he continues to rehab the knee injury he suffered in Week 2 of the 2023 season, according to general manager Andrew Berry during his appearance on 92.3 The Fan on Thursday, May 2.
| Footballguys view: Great news here. Chubb can still be one of the best backs in the game, but he's got to stay healthy and play up to his potential. Chubb was injured in Week 2 last year, so he's had plenty of time to get healthy. We expect the team to lean on new additions like D'Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines while Chubb continues to recover over the rest of the offseason. |

Texans | Tank Dell doing well Thu May 2, 01:09 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (undisclosed) is 'doing great' in his recovery from a gunshot wound he suffered last week, according to general manager Nick Caserio.
| Footballguys view: We're so glad to hear this. Dell was an amazing playmaker for the Texans as a rookie, even though his 2023 season was shortened by injury. With the addition of Stefon Diggs, Dell moves down the pecking order a bit. We still like him as a WR3 with upside for Fantasy GMs in 2024. |

Steelers | Justin Fields in kick return discussion? Thu May 2, 10:46 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields has been discussed as a potential kickoff returner under the new return rules, according to DE Cameron Heyward.
| Footballguys view: It would be an interesting move, but with the new rules perhaps it makes sense. Every team is going to be looking for two returner options, and it could lead to some big plays on special teams. We'll see if Fields can beat out Russell Wilson in training camp for the starting job. If he's QB1 for the Steelers, Fields will not be on special teams. |

New York Giants WR Jalin Hyatt will likely start the year as the primary backup to WR Darius Slayton, in the opinion of Dan Duggan of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Malik Nabers is there to be the no.1 receiver, and the rookie first-round pick enters the league as one of the most explosive playmakers. Behind Nabors, guys like WanDale Robinson and Darius Slayton will compete for targets. Hyatt is in that mix, and he might be able to move up the depth chart in camp. If not, he'll stay patient as a reserve receiver behind two veterans who are known to miss time. |

The Titans added Calvin Ridley to go with DeAndre Hopkins, and they still have former first-round pick Treylon Burks. If added, Boyd would compete with Burks to be the team's no.3 receiver. |

He hasn't signed anywhere yet, but a team like the Chargers could use him. They did select Georgia WR Ladd McConkey in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft, but Boyd could provide more veteran depth.

| Footballguys view: Stevenson needs to stay healthy and play like he did in 2022 if he wants a new deal with the Patriots. He took a step backward last year, but new HC Jerod Mayo could give him a healthy workload. We'll see if the Patriots feel the same way about Stevenson as he feels about them. |

Giants | Could Drew Lock start for Giants? Wed May 1, 12:16 PM
New York Giants QB Drew Lock 'has a chance to compete a little bit and maybe push Daniel Jones' in the eyes of the team, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said Monday, April 29.
| Footballguys view: That is a distinct possibility for the Giants, and it would be interesting to see Lock out there with his new team. He's grown and developed with his time in Seattle, and Lock could look much different than he did as the Broncos' starter. The Giants were interested in quarterbacks this offseason, but they didn't take one in the draft. Instead, it could be Lock who secures the starting job whether Jones is healthy or not (he's working his way back from a torn ACL in November). |
