PS. Footballguys has always backed the leagues that matter most — yours.
Our Footballguys Family doesn’t disappoint — here are a couple of standout league tales so far:
I'm the only female in the league. We have three divisions: elite, bloody, and real men. The best year was when I ended up in Real Men and won the league.
When we first started 37 years ago. I remember getting the USA Today Tuesday morning and trying to figure out if I won my games. I find it funny now if the computer doesn’t give me numbers instantly, I get upset. How times have changed.
At Footballguys, we know that fantasy football is more than just a game — it’s about the stories, rivalries, and traditions that make your league one-of-a-kind.
We’re collecting stories from our community about home leagues across the globe— and we’d love to hear about yours. Whether it's a 20-year rivalry, a ridiculous draft-day ritual, or the punishment no one wants to earn, we want to know what makes your league special.
Your story might even be featured in an upcoming article, newsletter, or podcast.

Among the biggest movers this week: Lamar Jackson surged 6 spots, Jayden Daniels climbed 4, and Bo Nix jumped 8. But which of these rising QBs most deserves the boost?
So today, we ask you Footballguys:
🗳️ POLL: Which rising QB most deserves their recent NFFC ADP surge?
When you vote in the Poll below, you'll see the current standings, and we'll post the final results in the next edition of the Daily Update.
🗳️ POLL: Which **AVOID** wide receiver are you still drafting - risk and all?
Miami Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith reportedly expressed an interest in reworking his current contract, which is scheduled to pay him $4.8 million for the 2025 season, and the team has reportedly countered by opening up trade discussions with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Our view: Smith is in the final year of his contract and wants a new deal. Last year, and his first year with the Dolphins, Smith had career highs in targets (111), receptions (88), yards (884), and touchdowns (8). Schefter is reporting that Smith's preference is to stay in Miami with a re-worked contract.
Indianapolis Colts QBs Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones are engaging in an 'open competition' where both players will split reps during organized team activities, according to head coach Shane Steichen.'We're breaking down the reps. They are both getting one reps. They're both getting two reps. I think through OTAs, we've got nine good practices. They'll both get about 170 reps a piece with those guys, with the ones and twos, and we'll flip-flop them. You guys were out there today. You saw how it worked, and that's how it's going to go. ... We have like first- (and) second-down day, then we have a third-down day. So we don't want one guy getting all the third-down reps with the ones. So, we're going to flip it that way, and then we go to a red zone day. It's the same reason,' Steichen said.
Our view: No surprise here. The Colts have been saying for some time that both quarterbacks are going to have a chance at the starting job. Richardson is their former first-round pick, and he still has incredible upside because of his physical tools. Jones, a former first-round pick of the Giants, has athleticism too and more starting experience. We'll see this battle shake out in training camp.

Most casual NFL fans turn elsewhere after the Super Bowl. They might catch some trade news throughout the offseason. Some will tune in for a bit of the NFL Draft. But most aren’t plugged into the minutiae of the offseason. Transactions happen daily, and it can be hard to stay on top of them. On a spectrum of fans with "Casual" on one end and "Die-Hard" on the other, I’d put myself pretty far toward the latter. And still, news slips past me. (Did you know Velus Jones Jr. is on the Saints now?)
Every offseason, I review all the NFL transactions, depth charts, coaching changes, and draft picks to compile a comprehensive list of every fantasy-relevant move.
There are still a few free agents out there, and our Free Agent Tracker will help you stay on top of those players. But with OTAs officially underway, let’s take a look at the noteworthy, fantasy-related moves you need to know to get up to speed for the 2025 season.
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) was absent from voluntary organized team activity, Wednesday, May 28, one day after a video of him surfaced on social media in which he was on a boat and flashed an unidentified pink substance while surrounded by three women. 'It's something we're aware of and obviously we want to make great decisions on and off the field,' head coach Mike Vrabel said. '... Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club.'
Our view: Vrabel has been communicating with the veteran receiver, and we're unlikely to hear much about this going forward. The NFL has declined comment on the video, and Diggs is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered last year so he wouldn't be participating in OTAs anyway.
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco 'looks tremendous right now,' according to head coach Andy Reid.
Our view: Pacheco had an injury-plagued 2024 and ended up in a timeshare with Kareem Hunt. If back to full strength, Pacheco brings plenty of power and speed to the Chiefs backfield. Hunt is back on a one-year deal, and the Chiefs spent a late-round pick on a converted receiver in SMU's Brashard Smith. We'll see how this backfield shapes up in training camp, but expect Pacheco and Hunt to split time.
Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson has firmly indicated that he has no desire to play on his current contract and 'very well might follow through on his promise to miss games or even the season,' according to a source via ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Our view: The Bengals need all the help they can get on defense, and Hendrickson is one of the best in the league. The relationship is as sour as it can be, and Hendrickson has no problem airing his frustration with the team publicly. Anything can happen, and money would make everything better but this is as ugly as it can get.
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) is doing 'outstanding' and 'ahead of schedule' in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Week 18 last season, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Our view: Everything is on track for Watson in his recovery. However, based on the timing of the injury last year we are unlikely to see Watson on the field until the midway point of the regular season. Watson should begin training camp and the regular season on the PUP list as he furthers his recovery.
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) was absent from practice on Thursday, May 29, due to an illness and not because of a setback with his knee, according to coach Andy Reid.
Our view: Fantasy GMs will be monitoring Rice closely during training camp and the preseason. First, it's because of the upside Rice has in this offense. Second, it's because of this knee injury he suffered last year in Week 4. At OTAs on Thursday, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes said Rice looks like himself and has 'no limitations.'
New York Giants WR Jalin Hyatt worked with the starters during OTAs Wednesday, May 28.
Our view: Hyatt has talent, but the former third-round pick has not played up to his potential in two pro seasons. Last year, Hyatt had only eight catches for 62 yards. This year, Hyatt is trying to make the right impression and getting first-team work in practice.
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) participated in practice Thursday, May 29.
Our view: Good news for the veteran back here. He missed the final game of the 2024 season because of a knee injury. Earlier this offseason, Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon said "If [Trey Benson] takes the necessary jump from Year 1 to Year 2, I think we have two starting backs." Conner is the lead back for the Cardinals, but Benson may force more of an RBBC approach in 2025.
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (undisclosed) attended the offseason workout Thursday, May 29, but did not participate.
Our view: Pearsall (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury and likely will be sidelined until training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. When healthy, Pearsall has plenty of flex appeal for Fantasy GMs out there.
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed indicated that his agent's meeting with the Packers following the NFL Draft was 'misinterpreted,' and that it was simply to get his new representation on the 'same page' with the Packers' front office. He also noted that the meeting was planned prior to the draft, and it was not in response to the selections of WRs Matthew Golden and Savion Williams.
Our view: The Packers don't have a no.1 receiver, but Reed did play more snaps than anyone on their team at the position in 2024. From a fantasy perspective, Packers receivers are going to spread the production around. We'll see how the rookie receivers work into the mix, but Reed is likely to produce like a WR3/flex option in 2025.
Thanks for spending part of your day with us. And for being part of the Footballguys community. We don’t take it for granted.
