Back in it: the Steelers renewed conversations today with Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith, who is seeking a new contract. The trade between the Steelers and Dolphins is still alive, per source.
Our view: This report by ESPN's Adam Schefter comes less than eight hours after Schefter reported that the two sides weren't expected to cut a deal. Again, where Smith plays matters. He finished behind only Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and George Kittle leaguewide in receiving yards by a tight end in 2024 en route to a TE4 finish. Smith is going as TE7 in early best-ball drafts.

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward has progressed already in camp, according to head coach Brian Callahan, who said he's pleased with Ward's progress. Ward has progressed in understanding throws he made in college won't necessarily be available to make in the NFL, and Callahan said he's picking up the mental part quickly.
Our view: This isn't a surprise after a report by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday indicated coaches have been impressed with Ward's work ethic. Fowler added that while Ward has been sharing snaps with QB Will Levis, the rookie will start receiving more work with the first-team offense in advance of training camp. While there's something to be said for players with locked-in roles, Ward, who opens as QB26 on the Footballguys redraft projections, has much to prove at a position with loads of quality depth.

June is one of the slower months on the dynasty calendar, so it's a great time to step back and highlight some players who have upside that is not being fully factored into their dynasty valuations. These are players I believe are undervalued in both redraft and dynasty formats, either because:
1. They have role-based upside: their potential role is being underestimated. These are players who could end up with a bigger slice of the pie than expected.
2. They have team-based upside: the offense they're in might be more explosive than consensus assumes. These are players on teams where the total pie (fantasy production) could be bigger than most people realize.
Ideally, we want to target players who check both boxes. Players who could grow into bigger roles and are tied to ascending offenses.
Let's look at an example from this time last year. I wrote that if I could buy stock in any single player, it would be Chase Brown, who was going in the 12th to 15th round of dynasty startups. My interest in Brown came from both types of upside. First, I thought the Bengals offense had the potential to be one of the league's best, and the market wasn't fully valuing all the key pieces. That is team-based upside. Second, I believed Brown had a real chance to take the starting job from Zack Moss and become the go-to running back in Cincinnati. That is role-based upside, meaning Brown was more likely to command a larger share of the offensive production than the market expected.
Breaking upside into these two buckets helps me zero in on my favorite targets. Some players, like Brown last season, have both. Others fit more strongly into one category or the other. In this month's Dynasty Trade Value Chart article, we will go position-by-position, highlighting some of my favorite players to target in trades and startups this summer.
Quarterback
This is the one position where evaluating role and team-related factors doesn't fit quite as neatly into the pie analogy I use for other positions. Except for rare exceptions, one quarterback is going to account for all of a team's fantasy points at the position over a given time period. And most of the time, the quarterback is driving how big the team's offensive pie is in the first place.
That said, I still want to highlight my favorite dynasty targets at the position through the lens of role-based and team-based upside.

3. NE: No Word On Whether Stefon Diggs Has Passed Important Physical
Source: ProFootballTalk - Mike Florio
Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs showed up for Monday's OTA session. His presence raises an obvious question. Has he passed the all-important physical mentioned in several portions of his contract? The Patriots have declined to answer whether the physical has been passed.
Our view: Diggs was on hand for Monday's OTA session; he was limited to individual drills. The physical, if passed, will clear Diggs to fully practice and play. In addition, Diggs' $12 million signing bonus is expressly tied to passing that physical. Until Diggs passes the physical, the Patriots (who have "no plans" to release him) have a potential escape hatch from his contract. Stay tuned. This story will continue to draw headlines until it's resolved.

4. HOU: Houston being cautious with C.J. Stroud
Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (shoulder) has taken limited reps during the team's offseason practices, but head coach DeMeco Ryans noted on Tuesday, June 3, that Stroud is just experiencing 'general soreness' in his shoulder and the team is taking 'extra precaution' with him.
Our view: Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, a well-connected Houston beat writer, recently confirmed the issue was a tight pectoral muscle that is considered "relatively minor." Meanwhile, we'll remind you that few quarterbacks fell further from meeting expectations than Stroud, who was drafted as QB6 last summer before finishing the regular season as QB18. This year, Stroud is going as QB16 in Round 10 in early best ball drafts. That's a bit off his QB20 Footballguys Projection, but it's a reasonable price for bargain hunters willing to bet minimal draft capital on a QB2 who delivered QB1 numbers just two years ago.

5. BAL: Zay Flowers feeling fine
Source: BaltimoreRavens.com - Ryan Mink
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) told reporters on Tuesday, June 3, that his knee feels great and he is not being limited during spring practices.
Our view: In case you missed it, Flowers posted a video on social media last month that showed him catching passes from QB Lamar Jackson. Adding to the positive vibes, head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the knee injury Flowers suffered last season did not require surgery. He will be the team's no.1 wide receiver again. Flowers is coming off back-to-back 100-target seasons (and his first 1,000-yard season in 2024). He's WR21 on the Footballguys 2025 Draft Projections.

6. PIT: Gabe Davis to visit Steelers
Source: ESPN.com - Adam Schefter
Free-agent WR Gabe Davis (Jaguars) is expected to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, June 5.
Our view: Davis spent last season with the Jaguars, appearing in 10 games. He caught 20 passes for 239 yards with a pair of touchdowns before suffering a torn meniscus and missing the rest of the year. The Jags released Davis last month. This will be Davis' third reported visit with a team since he became a free agent earlier this offseason. Davis has also visited with San Francisco and the New York Giants.

7. ATL: Kyle Pitts injury update
Source: ESPN.com - Adam Schefter
Updating previous reports, Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (foot) is not practicing during organized team activities this spring due to a strained muscle in his foot, according to a source.
Our view: Nothing new here. Instead, we get further confirmation of what's been widely reported for more than a week now. Ensuring Pitts is healthy heading into the season is important for the team for a player heading into a make-or-break season. Remember, Pitts finished the 2024 season as TE15, but he was TE23 on a points-per-game basis (with 7.7 points a week). He's being drafted in that same range in early best balls, so gambling on a rebound isn't cost-prohibitive.

8. MIN: Jordan Mason was in elite company in 2024
Source: The Athletic - Alec Lewis
Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason finished third in the NFL behind only Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry and Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley in a Next Gen Stats metric designed to 'assess the degree to which running backs generate more yards than expected,' per The Athletic's Alec Lewis.
Our view: The Vikings traded for Mason, who ran for 100 yards on 20 carries against them in Minnesota last season, in March. They made the deal a week after signing Aaron Jones to a lucrative, two-year $20 million extension with $13 million guaranteed. While it's safe to assume the Vikings still see Jones as their lead back after a strong 2024 season, fantasy drafters in early best balls don't see much of a gap between the two. Jones is being drafted as RB28 in Round 7; Mason is going as RB32 in Round 9.

9. NE: Jahlani Tavai likely done until training camp
Source: ESPN.com - Adam Schefter
Updating a previous report, New England Patriots LB Jahlani Tavai (calf) suffered a calf injury on Monday, June 2, that is expected to keep him sidelined until training camp, according to sources.
Our view: When Tavai had to exit practice on Monday, reporters noted that it looked like a potentially significant injury. So this latest report is good news. As pointed out by Mike Reiss of ESPN, Tavai had been in the mix at inside linebacker during the offseason program, though free-agent signee Robert Spillane has been leading the charge.
