Packers | MarShawn Lloyd pronounces himself healthy Fri Jun 13, 02:56 PM
Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd played only one game last season due to multiple injuries but told reporters on Thursday, June 12, that he has been 100% for 'some time now.'
| Footballguys view: Lloyd's health and performance in camp and the preseason will be a big part of sorting out who we need to target as the player who would benefit the most in fantasy leagues if Josh Jacobs misses times. Lloyd is the most talented, and the Packers liked him enough to take him in the third round last year. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks both went undrafted when they entered the league, but they performed well for the team down the stretch last year and complement each other well, with Brooks playing on passing downs. The Packers might be forced to keep four backs, and if they don't expect whomever they release to be claimed on waivers before Week 1. |
Bills | Maxwell Hairston sidelined with hamstring issue Fri Jun 13, 02:56 PM
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills CB Maxwell Hairston (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury in practice on Wednesday, June 11, and did not practice on Thursday, June 12. According to general manager Brandon Beane, Hairston is receiving treatment on the injury and expected to be ready for the start of training camp next month.
| Footballguys view: Hairston was presumably drafted to match with the speedy receivers the Bills will have to face in the playoffs. We'll be watching to see if he's ready for the open of camp and can stay healthy so he can suit up for the highly anticipated season opener against Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and the rest of the Baltimore Ravens. |
Raiders | Michael Mayer stood out in spring practices Fri Jun 13, 02:18 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer enjoyed a 'great offseason,' according to head coach Pete Carroll.'We started out going heart to heart with him to understand what we're all about. And he embraced it and took it as well as anybody could take the challenge of bringing it day in and day out. He had a great camp,' Carroll told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
| Footballguys view: Mayer has a second round pedigree and could still matter in fantasy leagues, but won't this year without an injury to Brock Bowers. There's a remote possibility that he is traded before the season, but he could be very useful to Chip Kelly and the new regime in two tight end sets and gives the Raiders more personnel set versatility. He's only a dynasty stash in deep and tight end premium leagues. |

'I'm not relying on one guy, you know.' Asked how the carries would be divvied up, Carroll said the RBs would make the decision with their play.

Rams | Alaric Jackson dealing with blood clots Fri Jun 13, 09:15 AM
Los Angeles Rams OT Alaric Jackson (blood clots) is dealing with blood clots again, which could put his 2025 season in doubt.
| Footballguys view: This is why the team just signed DJ Humphries. Jackson started most of the last two seasons at left tackle for the Rams after missing nine games in 2022 because of blood clots. Humphries wasn't great in 2023 for Arizona before going down with a torn ACL and is turning 32 before the end of the season. If Jackson can't play this year, it will be a blow for the offense. |
Jets | Uphill climb for Malachi Corley Thu Jun 12, 09:23 PM

Broncos | Pat Bryant looking the part Thu Jun 12, 02:41 PM
Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant was 'very, very impressive' during mandatory minicamp, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports.
| Footballguys view: Bryant was a surprise third-round pick to some, but his skill has flashed early at Broncos camp. The rookie from Illinois can run routes precisely, and he couples that with hands, body control and concentration. While Bryant does not win with speed, his savvy makes him as pro ready as a rookie receiver can be. We'll see Bryant compete for a spot in the pecking order behind Courtland Sutton with guys like Devaughn Vele, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims. |
Cardinals | Trey Benson prepping for big Year 2 Thu Jun 12, 02:22 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson told the team's website that he added seven pounds of muscle since last season. He also noted that he explosiveness metrics have improved noticeably.
| Footballguys view: Benson is a powerful player who wins at the point of contact and keeps his feet moving to pick up more yards. The Cardinals have James Conner as their lead back, but HC Jonathan Gannon said if Benson takes the jump from year 1 to year 2 "I think we have two starting backs.†|
Broncos | Devaughn Vele expects to be cleared for camp Thu Jun 12, 01:33 PM
Denver Broncos WR Devaughn Vele (undisclosed) did not participate in mandatory minicamp with an undisclosed injury but will be a full-go for training camp, according to head coach Sean Payton.
| Footballguys view: Vele has been standing out at OTAs, but he missed all of mandatory minicamp. Courtland Sutton is the lead receiver, but the Broncos need to find a no.2 receiver opposite of him. Vele will compete with guys like Pat Bryant, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims to establish a depth chart at the position. |
Giants | Malik Nabers seeing some progress with toe injury Thu Jun 12, 01:10 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers is 'progressing' in his recovery from the toe injury that lingered throughout last season, according to head coach Brian Daboll.
| Footballguys view: Good news for Giants fans and Fantasy GMs here. Nabers has dealt with this toe injury since college, and it bothered him at times last year. Now, even though bothered by this toe problem, Nabers had a line of 109-1204-7 as a rookie. Nabers is projected to get over 100 catches this year, and that makes him a top-5 fantasy receiver this season. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders opens eyes Thu Jun 12, 10:53 AM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders took a series of snaps with the second-team offense during 11-on-11 drills this week and continued a strong spring. He threw a short touchdown in red-zone drills. On the play, he manipulated multiple linebackers by moving his eyes to his left before returning to his right and finding an open window to drive a pass to TE Brenden Bates in the end zone.
| Footballguys view: We're trying to not get too excited about minicamp work, but it's exciting to think of what Sanders can do at the pro level. Sanders was a fifth-round pick, but it's not outlandish to think he's the best quarterback on the Browns roster. He's got a lot to prove, and Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel are there to compete for the starting job. It's a bit of a mess (understatement of the year), but Sanders is shining with his opportunities. Stay tuned. |
Bengals | Shemar Stewart leaves camp Thu Jun 12, 09:45 AM
Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick EDGE Shemar Stewart has left mandatory minicamp due to a contract dispute.

Steelers | Darnell Washington catching eye of QB Thu Jun 12, 09:45 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington was compared to Marcedes Lewis by QB Aaron Rodgers.
| Footballguys view: Washington is a big body like Lewis, and he can take up a lot of space because of it. Entering his third pro season, Washington is set to work as the no.2 tight end for the Steelers behind Pat Freiermuth. |

Chargers | Omarion Hampton praised by OC Thu Jun 12, 09:45 AM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton was called the 'total package' by offensive coordinator Greg Roman. 'You don't see a lot of guys find a hole like he's doing right now,' Roman said.
| Footballguys view: Hampton is a player who can play on all three downs. He's a powerful runner with a smooth stride, and Hampton can wear down a defense as the game goes on. In addition to what he can do as a runner, Hampton is a good receiver out of the backfield. We'll see how it unfolds this year with Hampton splitting time with Najee Harris. |
Raiders | Dont'e Thornton works with starters Thu Jun 12, 09:45 AM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. received snaps with the first-team offense during practice Tuesday, June 10.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on Thornton in dynasty formats. The fourth-round pick out of Tennessee (Oregon transfer) has a fine size/speed combination. If the depth chart were released today, the rookie would likely be no.4 behind Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, and fellow rookie Jack Bech. At this time, Thornton is a field-stretcher with a limited route tree. |
Bears | Luther Burden on track for camp Thu Jun 12, 09:45 AM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (undisclosed) has missed time this offseason because of an injury but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Burden is an exciting rookie prospect with some Deebo Samuel to his game. The second-round pick from Missouri can take short passes and turn them into long gains. He will try to find a spot in the pecking order with DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. Add in Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland at the tight end position, and you can see how targets are going to be spread around. |
Bears | Colston Loveland's status for camp uncertain Thu Jun 12, 09:45 AM
Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland (shoulder) is still recovering from a shoulder injury, and head coach Ben Johnson would not say if Loveland will be a full participant when training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: Loveland was arguably the best tight end in the 2025 NFL Draft. He can fly down the field and is a threat in the middle of the defense. When healthy, Loveland can be Johnson's version of Sam LaPorta...and that should get the attention of every Fantasy GM out there. Loveland is a TE2 with upside this season splitting time with Cole Kmet. |
Texans | Jayden Higgins could start as a rookie Thu Jun 12, 02:17 AM
Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins has been impressive in minicamp and is 'pushing for a starting role,' according to ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime, who adds that the rookie 'could clinch that spot by the second week of training camp.'
| Footballguys view: Nico Collins is the WR1 for the Texans, and veteran Christian Kirk is there to be the no.2 receiver for now. Set to hit free agency in 2026, Kirk is not a long-term option for the Texans. That means Higgins, with his impressive size/speed combination, could get more involved as the season goes on. |
49ers | Christian McCaffrey holding up well Thu Jun 12, 01:49 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, knee) participated in every phase of voluntary OTAs and the mandatory minicamp, and he even took reps during team drills, which was rare among the team's established stars, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the 49ers here. Everyone knows McCaffrey is a stud who can be the best back in the league when healthy. It's that staying healthy part that is unknown. McCaffrey says he feels 'great' after being dogged by injuries in 2024. |

Link to story Chargers | Oronde Gadsden II making an early impression Thu Jun 12, 01:08 AM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II has been impressive during minicamp, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim, who writes that the rookie 'projects to be a key piece' in LA's offensive attack. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman remarked that he thinks Gadsden will 'ascend quickly.'
| Footballguys view: Gadsen is a tight end with freakish athletic ability. A fifth-round pick out of Syracuse, Gadsen is tough to cover at the linebacker level. Right now, Gadsen is the no.3 tight end for the Chargers behind Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin. We appreciate Gadsen in dynasty formats, but his path to production this year has some roadblocks. |

Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan does not practice Wed Jun 11, 03:14 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (leg) did not participate in practice Wednesday, June 11, because he was kicked in the leg during practice Tuesday, June 10. Head coach Dave Canales said McMillan may return to practice Thursday, June 12.
| Footballguys view: This is a great opportunity to remind you it's June. We're still in the lighter stage of workouts for the offseason. Carolina's decision to sit McMillan is neither surprising nor alarming. This is true of the vast majority of players being held out of workouts this time of year. The Panthers finish out their mandatory minicamp with a final practice on Thursday. It would be great if McMillan participates. Also, fantasy investors shouldn't lose any sleep if he doesn't. We'll follow up as needed. |
49ers | Kurtis Rourke unlikely for start of camp Wed Jun 11, 03:13 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Kurtis Rourke (knee) is not expected to be ready for the start of training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings (calf) is not participate in the mandatory minicamp but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: With the timetable for Brandon Aiyuk's return from last year's torn ACL still uncertain, a cautious approach with Jennings makes sense. Coming off his most productive campaign as a pro, Jennings and Ricky Pearsall are expected to be the team's top receivers heading into Week 1. In case you missed it, Jennings set career highs in targets (113), receptions (77), receiving yards (975), and touchdowns (6) in 2024. He heads into the summer with a WR37 Average Draft Position and a Round 7 price. |

49ers | Ricky Pearsall on track for camp Wed Jun 11, 02:59 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) is not participating in the mandatory minicamp this week, but head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated that Pearsall should be ready for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: With Brandon Aiyuk likely sidelined at the start of the 2025 season after last year's torn ACL, Pearsall and Jauan Jennings are projected as the Week 1 starting wide receivers. That being the case, a cautious approach with Pearsall's hamstring seems wise. Pearsall finished his rookie campaign with 31 receptions for 400 yards and three touchdowns. He ended the season on a high note, hauling in 14 catches for 210 yards and two touchdowns over the final two games. That late surge shouldn't be lost on fantasy investors, who'll find Pearsall available as WR41 in Round 8. |
Texans | Joe Mixon injury update Wed Jun 11, 02:44 PM
Updating a previous report, Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (undisclosed) is no longer wearing a walking boot but is now wearing an ankle brace, according to sources. He seems to have a good chance to be ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: A prudent approach in June shouldn't set off alarm bells. In Mixon's case, the injury is of much less concern than Nick Chubb signing with the team last week. Mixon was a revelation for the Texans in 2024, but Chubb's arrival indicates the team is at least open to the idea of getting other runners involved. As USA Today notes, the problem last year was they sorely lacked the personnel to do so. At the very least, Chubb is an upgrade to Mixon's understudies from last season, and depth matters. We'll be watching this backfield closely in training camp. |
Joe Mixon player page
Bills | Laviska Shenault sits out Wed Jun 11, 02:19 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Laviska Shenault Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, June 11.
| Footballguys view: Shenault spent the 2024 season with Seattle, and one of his best moments of the season featured a 97-yard return for a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers. Shenault is a capable receiver and rusher as well. He has 1,587 receiving yards, 253 rushing yards, and seven total touchdowns in five seasons. But expecting him to earn a fantasy-relevant role in Buffalo seems like a reach. |
