Titans | Mitch Trubisky ready to serve as mentor Sun Jun 14, 06:45 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Mitchell Trubisky is excited about his new organization, and he is looking forward to helping any way he can, either as a competitor or a mentor. He is being coached by offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney, two guys he worked with in Buffalo. 'Super pumped (to be here),' Trubisky said. 'I had so much fun with (Daboll and Tierney) back in Buffalo a few years ago. When I had an opportunity to come back with them, it was pretty much a no-brainer. Coming here, working with (QB Cam Ward), working with Dabes and Shea, it has been a lot of fun so far, getting back in the offense. It's a great scheme.'

Buccaneers | Coach endorses Baker Mayfield Sun Jun 14, 06:11 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield has been 'all business' amid contract extension talks, according to head coach Todd Bowles, and Bowles said there is 'absolutely no question' that he wants Mayfield to stay with the Buccaneers long term.
| Footballguys view: This is a story worth monitoring because Mayfield has been good as a Buc, but $50+ million a year good? Mayfield is 31 and if his play is declining (he had a rough second half of the season, but the whole offense did, including with his and other key players suffering injuries), then committing to him long term would be a mistake. The Bucs don't have a quarterback they have bene developing on the roster, but they did sign UDFA Jalon Daniels, who is a favorite of NFL Films legend Greg Cosell. |

Seahawks | Emanuel Wilson down the pecking order Sun Jun 14, 06:11 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson has been the third running back in the pecking order at OTAs and minicamp.
| Footballguys view: In other words, it would take first round Jadarian Price being not ready for prime time for Wilson to matter in fantasy leagues at the beginning of the season. Third down back George Holani has been running as the "1A" and is worth a late round pick across formats. Wilson is a waiver wire watch list player for now, and once Zach Charbonnet is healthy (which could be sooner than later), Wilson will fall off of the fantasy radar. |
Commanders | Bigger role for Chig Okonkwo? Sun Jun 14, 06:11 PM
Washington Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo will be an exciting part of the offense, according to QB Jayden Daniels. 'Now he gets to go out there and show his talents on a bigger stage and a bigger role in the offense,' Daniels said.
| Footballguys view: Okonkwo could become the #2 target in the offense by default because the Commanders don't have any proven wide receivers after #1 Terry McLaurin. Okonkwo is a handful after the catch and can help Jayden Daniels if he gets open in the short and intermediate zones with regularity. Okonkwo is one of the best tight ends to target in the late rounds. |
Commanders | Terry McLaurin excited for role Sun Jun 14, 06:11 PM
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin said he will move around the formation more this season. 'I can go left, right, I can go vertical because I can still run by you,' McLaurin said. 'I can stop or I could go in. Just having those type of variations in your route tree is just an unbelievable weapon to have as a receiver.'
| Footballguys view: We are looking for players to get the kind of usage that Jaxon Smith-Njigba got last year - a variety of routes from a variety of spots in the offense. McLaurin qualifies as the kind of talent who can pull that off, and the Commanders don't have any other wide receivers that strike fear in the hearts of opposing defensive coordinators. McLaurin has more than enough upside to justify a pick at his fourth round ADP. |

Steelers | Eli Heidenreich making impression on coach Sun Jun 14, 06:11 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Eli Heidenreich has impressed head coach Mike McCarthy. 'He's very instinctive, has an excellent skill set,' McCarthy said. 'He's picked up the offense. His position flexibility has been fun. He's had a tremendous start.'
| Footballguys view: Heidenreich compares favorably to Christian McCaffrey if you only look at their game as receivers out of the backfield. He could help on special teams and give the team another slot receiver and third down back option if he makes the team. |
Giants | Odell Beckham Jr. takes advantage of reps Sun Jun 14, 06:11 PM
New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. 'perhaps made the biggest impact at minicamp' with WR Malik Nabers (knee) and WR Darius Slayton (abdomen) sidelined, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: This is probably more of a sign that Darnell Mooney and third round pick Malachi Fields aren't impressing than one of Beckham putting together an unlikely comeback story this year. The Giants passing game is going to be a work in progress, but that could be good for free agent signing Isaiah Likely, who might lead the team in targets early on despite playing tight end. |

Cardinals | James Conner should be ready for camp Sun Jun 14, 06:11 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle, foot) should be available for the start of training camp, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Conner is cheap at only a little over $2 million, but most of it is guaranteed. Once he is healthy enough to practice, he could be a candidate to be traded to a team that suffers an injury at running back in camp or the preseason, or otherwise isn't pleased with what they see. Washington and Seattle are both possibilities. |

Giants | Big role for Malachi Fields could come sooner Sun Jun 14, 05:21 PM
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields could see a big role in the offense sooner rather than later. The receivers' room is a bit thin, and there is no certainty WR Malik Nabers (knee) will be able to return to start the regular season.

Panthers | Xavier Legette welcomes pressure Sun Jun 14, 04:51 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette is looking to rebound in 2026 after a down season in his sophomore NFL campaign. A lot had to do with teammate WR Tetairoa McMillan having a giant season, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. 'My main thing is just to have a better year than my first two years,' Legette said. 'I can't -- I can't -- have another year like I did last year. I can't do that.'

'We want to create opportunities for him to have these moments in front of people, in front of the team,' Minter said.

Texans | Tank Dell sees light at end of tunnel Sun Jun 14, 03:50 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) is nearly back from a lengthy and arduous rehab process since going down with a serious knee injury in 2024. He missed the entire 2025 season as a result of the injury. 'It's been a roller coaster ride, to say the least,' Dell said Saturday, June 13. 'It's been a long journey, but I'm built for it, and I'm ready for it, and I was ready for it. I'm getting through it, and it's light at the end of the tunnel, so I'm almost there.'
| Footballguys view: It's not clear how much of his quickness and speed Dell will recover, or how large his role will be. The Texans don't need him to play a big role with 2025 draft picks (and Iowa State teammates) Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins both garnering rave reviews in minicamp and OTAs. Dell should be added in deep dynasty leagues, and the better his recovery goes, the better the chance CJ Stroud and the Texans pass offense improves this year. |

49ers | Kyle Juszczyk feeling good into new season Sun Jun 14, 03:45 PM
San Francisco 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk said he is feeling good heading into the 2026 season, and he has no intention of putting a timeline on his career. 'I feel so good, and I'm still having so much fun,' Juszczyk said. 'I'm in zero pain whatsoever, and I feel like I'm still playing at such a high level. So, I want to continue to do this thing as long as I possibly can. I haven't put a number on when I want to end, but as it stands right now, I'm just going to keep going until the wheels fall off.'

Commanders | Jayden Daniels to work in new scheme Sun Jun 14, 02:53 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will work in a heavy play-action system under new offensive coordinator David Blough, which will, at times, feature bootlegs. The bootlegs will enable Daniels to get more in the open field. 'He's one of the smartest players I've ever coached,' QBs coach D.J. Williams said Saturday, June 13. 'It's his football knowledge, just his natural instincts, but also how quick he can process. Obviously from the outside looking in, you see the speed, you see the arm, you see the playmaking ability, but ... from the neck up, man, that's like he is second to none.'
| Footballguys view: Daniels could get some runs by design on rollouts, but the main benefit will be moving the pocket or otherwise not letting pass rushers tee off on Daniels after he suffered multiple injuries last year. He has a limited ceiling as one of the top five quarterbacks off of the board. |
Jets | Braelon Allen back to 100 percent Sun Jun 14, 02:15 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen (knee) said Saturday, June 13, that he is back to 100 percent after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Head coach Aaron Glenn said he wants to employ a 'three-headed monster' in the backfield, and that was the plan last season before Allen's injury. RBs Breece Hall, the starter, and Isaiah Davis are the other backs in the equation. Allen also added that he hopes kick returns, which is how he hurt his knee, are going to be a thing of the past.
| Footballguys view: Allen is worth a late round pick because of his injury upside if Breece Hall gets hurt, but he isn't going to have consistent standalone value the year after an ACL year in a bottom half of the league offense. |
Jets | Breece Hall to have company in backfield Sun Jun 14, 02:01 PM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall is expected to have plenty of company in the backfield, as head coach Aaron Glenn said Saturday, June 13, that he is planning to use Hall, RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis as a 'three-headed monster' in the backfield. He said that was the plan last season until Allen suffered an injury. However, after signing Hall to a three-year, $43.5 million, it's still likely Hall will see his fair share of touches.
| Footballguys view: This is what we heard last year before the season, and Hall's fantasy output was inconsistent and frustrating for folks that expected a strong RB2, or even RB1, and instead got a boom/bust RB2/Flex even though promising backup Braelon Allen went down early in the season. Allen is healthy again, but Hall's ADP is still in the third round, so the Jets offense needs to improve a lot for Hall to deliver. |
Commanders | Two battling for WAS placekicking job Sun Jun 14, 10:22 AM

Browns | Harold Fannin sits out offseason Sat Jun 13, 01:10 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in any of the workouts or practices this offseason because of an undisclosed reason, according to The Athletic's Zac Jackson.
| Footballguys view: We love what Fannin did as a rookie in 2025, but a groin injury late in the season limited him over the final couple of contests. This is an undisclosed injury, so who knows if his lack of participation is related to that or a new injury. So long as he's healthy for training camp and the preseason, we're not too concerned. With David Njoku (Chargers) gone, Fannin could be a top-10 fantasy tight end in 2026. |
Texans | Jaylin Noel pushing for more Sat Jun 13, 01:10 PM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel has been 'making waves' during OTAs and minicamp, according to Jared Koch of SI.com, and Noel said he is ready to take on a bigger role. 'Being able to be a gamechanger, being able to make big plays, I think that's what I bring to the Texans,' Noel said.
| Footballguys view: Watch out for a second-year breakout here. He's been working this offseason as the first-team's slot receiver, and that fits perfectly with Noel's skill set. He's a WR4/5 for Fantasy GMs, but the upside is there for him to move into weekly flex consideration. |
Packers | Matthew Golden operates as No. 2 receiver Sat Jun 13, 01:10 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden worked with WR Christian Watson in two-receiver sets during minicamp.
| Footballguys view: A first-round pick in 2025, Golden had a disappointing rookie season. This offseason, he's been the no.2 receiver splitting time with Jayden Reed. Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs are no longer on the roster, so there's a real opportunity for a speedy receiver like Golden. Consider him a WR5 with upside. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud has a better grasp of offensive coordinator Nick Caley's system, especially when it comes to pre-snap operation, according to quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski.
| Footballguys view: Stroud also could get Tank Dell back, and 2025 second day draft picks Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel both look ready to do more in their second seasons. Stroud is an afterthought in 1QB leagues and a bargain in superflex leagues right now. |

Bears | Caleb Williams locked in Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams has shown a comfort level in the offense during OTAs and minicamp, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: It will disappointing if Williams doesn't look more comfortable and perform better in year two piloting Ben Johnson's offense. He is priced around QB6-7, but not much cheaper than QB3-5, so the fantasy football community expects him to improve. At least one of Colston Loveland, Luther Burden III, and Rome Odunze will be a big hit if Williams takes the expected step forward. |
Patriots | Fast start for A.J. Brown Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown has shown an 'immediate' connection with QB Drake Maye, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Maye has immediately been throwing into small windows when targeting Brown, and the new acquisition is only encouraging his quarterback to trust him. Brown has a higher ceiling as a Patriot than he did as an Eagle, and he could help Drake Maye establish himself as the clear QB2 in fantasy football behind Josh Allen if Lamar Jackson has another injury-riddled season. |

Chiefs | Week 1 possible for Patrick Mahomes? Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) and the team are 'both leaning into this Week 1 possibility' for Mahomes' return, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The league putting the Chiefs at home on Monday night against the Broncos to open the season might have been a coincidence, but with every passing day it appears that it will create maximum drama for Mahomes return to the field. He had returned to the fantasy elite thanks to his running ability and extended plays, but the Chiefs might limit that element of his game early in his return from knee surgery. Mahomes is priced correctly around QB10, but could get off to a slow start as he rounds into form. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker agrees to extension Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker agreed to terms on a three-year, $35 million extension with incentives worth up to $41 million, according to his agent.
| Footballguys view: Coker gave up two years of control in exchange for getting paid two years ahead of when he would enter unrestricted free agency. He is getting more guaranteed money than fellow 2024 draft class wide receivers and first round picks Brian Thomas Jr. and Xavier Worthy got on their initial contracts. Coker is the clear WR2 and one of the most underrated wide receivers in fantasy drafts right now. |
Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan dealing with injury Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot) missed some time during the mandatory minicamp because of a foot injury but hopes to be ready for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: McMillan said his foot is a "little sore" and he has "no concern at all". As long as he is full go for camp next month, we agree. McMillan did injure his left foot and have a procedure on it in college, but it's not clear which foot McMillan was talking about. There's no need to move McMillan down in your rankings unless he isn't participating when camp opens. |
Vikings | Justin Jefferson to work with both QBs Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson said he plans to work out with both QB Kyler Murray and QB J.J. McCarthy leading up to training camp.
| Footballguys view: We have a legitimate quarterback competition in Minnesota, which could be good or bad for Jefferson. If it spurs one of Murray or McCarthy to up their game and play at a high enough level to help Jefferson pay off at a still high ADP, then it is good. But if the split in first team snaps makes neither quarterback adequately prepared and the competition doesn't have a true winner - only a quarterback who wasn't as bad as his competitor - then Jefferson could be very disappointing once again this year. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, according to head coach Andy Reid.

He could be ready for the start of camp, but we expect the Chiefs to ease Rice into action over the summer. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Rice needs to get healthy, stay healthy, and stay out of trouble with the law if he wants to get a new deal from Kansas City. |

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, June 11, because of hamstring discomfort, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: It's June, so no big deal here. Jeudy is a speed receiver who can work defenders because of his route-running ability. With two high-profile rookie receivers added (KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston), it dings the fantasy value for Jeudy. We like him as a WR5/deep flex play in 2026. |

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton told the media on Thursday, June 11, that QB Bo Nix did some walkthrough work and will be out there for some work next week for minicamp.
| Footballguys view: Nix is coming off an ankle injury in the Divisional Round against Buffalo that needed two surgeries to correct. He's not doing much this week, but the team plans for him to do a bit more at mandatory minicamp next week. We imagine Nix will be a full participant when training camp opens for the Broncos in late July. |
