Chargers | LAC remains high on Quentin Johnston Thu May 16, 04:36 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston is a 'great worker' and a player that the team believes is 'going to launch' in 2024, according to general manager Joe Hortiz on The Up & Adams podcast on Wednesday, May 15.'Quentin was a player we liked in Baltimore as well last year - a player that I liked. When you look at him, when he was coming out of college, he was an elite size/speed athlete. And you saw some rawness to his game, but you also saw the ability, for as big as he is, (6-foot-3), I think, and 220 pounds, you watch him drop his weight, getting in and out of breaks, come to balance at the top of the route, get out quickly. He can do some rare things for a player his size. (Coach) Jim (Harbaugh) was on the other sideline in one of his better games (in college), and so we've all seen it. We believe in it. He's a great kid, he's a great worker. Everyone here has a high opinion of him. I believe he's really going to launch. I really do. His skill set is great. We're (going to) work with him, make him better and better,' Hortiz told Adams.

Commanders | Damiere Byrd joining Washington Thu May 16, 01:01 PM
Free-agent WR Damiere Byrd (Falcons) agreed to terms with the Washington Commanders Wednesday, May 15, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Byrd was with Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury in 2019 when Kingsbury was the head coach of the Cardinals. He'll compete with Jamison Crowder, Dax Milne, and Olamide Zaccheaus for a spot at the bottom of the Washington wide receiver depth chart. |

| Footballguys view: Wiley led all FBS tight ends in touchdown catches last year. He's not a dynamic weapon in the passing game, but he's imposing at the catch point and could be part of the succession plan for Travis Kelce. He should be rostered in tight end premium and deep dynasty leagues |

Cowboys | No progress on Dak Prescott deal Thu May 16, 10:55 AM
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has experienced no progress in talks about an extension, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys appear to be ready to allow Prescott to hit free agency next season. They can't use the franchise tag on him, and Prescott has a no trade clause. He isn't going to get cheaper unless the team craters this season, so it's hard to see what the Cowboys strategy here is unless they are really unsure that they want to go forward with Prescott as their starting quarterback. But if that is the case, they have made no plan for the quarterback position after Prescott, so that also seems incoherent. It's hard to know what the future holds for Prescott or the Cowboys right now. |

Commanders | Damiere Byrd works out for WAS Wed May 15, 02:13 PM
Free-agent WR Damiere Byrd (Falcons) is working out for the Washington Commanders on Wednesday, May 15, per sources.
| Footballguys view: Byrd was signed to the Texans' practice squad earlier this year, but he was not offered a futures contract. Undrafted out of South Carolina in 2015, Byrd is a seasoned veteran who can still fly down the field. The Commanders are likely to have an explosive offense with rookie QB Jayden Daniels leading the way. If added, Byrd would compete for a reserve role and special teams duty. |

Titans | TEN RBs interchangeable? Wed May 15, 11:41 AM
Tennessee Titans RBs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are viewed comparatively as the duo has been working together in the offseason program. 'Both guys, you don't have to worry about in terms of counting touches in terms of handoffs, running the ball. Because they can both catch the ball fairly well out of the backfield,' running backs coach Randy Jordan said. 'So, in that respect, I am not counting touches in terms of rushes. I'm counting, 'Hey, you got 10 rushes, but you also got six catches, and that's a total of 16.' And I think they're getting a really good feel for each other on and off the field.'
| Footballguys view: We love Spears, but it hurt his dynasty stock when the Titans picked up Pollard. They're both backs who can produce as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. We see Pollard as the lead back, but Spears could push for a 50-50 role. This could be a mystery for Fantasy GMs that could unfold differently on a weekly basis. Right now, Pollard is seen as a low-end RB2 with Spears checking in as a low-end RB3/flex option in fantasy drafts. |

The Commanders are looking at other veteran receivers (Damiere Byrd) who can stretch the field. We'll see if they make a move at the position before minicamp and OTAs or training camp. |

Lions | More work in 2024 for Jahmyr Gibbs? Tue May 14, 04:48 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs should expect to 'see more of a load' in 2024, according to general manager Brad Holmes on a recent appearance of The Rich Eisen Show.'I definitely would expect him to see more of a load, but David Montgomery will still be here too. Dan (Campbell) and I love that 1-2 punch of him and David. But just speaking on, specifically, him being a rookie last year, even when he had some pops in (last year's season opener), I was watching, I was like, 'He's still trying to get the feel of the game.' He was playing very fast, and he actually kind of needed to slow down a little bit . . . But once he got that sweet spot, you kind of saw it in the (Baltimore) Ravens game, which unfortunately we didn't show up very well for that game, but that's when you started seeing some glimpses of, 'I think it's coming, I think it's coming,' Then, obviously, that (Las Vegas) Raiders game where I believe everyone saw the breakout. . . . I think he has much more to offer in the passing game, so most likely you'll see an increase in that as well,' Holmes said.

Bengals | Cincinnati inks a pair of draft picks Tue May 14, 02:31 PM
Cincinnati Bengals third-round draft choice WR Jermaine Burton (Alabama) and fourth-round draft choice TE Erick All (Iowa) signed four-year contracts on Tuesday, May 14. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: After transferring from Georgia following the 2021 season, Burton was a high-production receiver at Alabama, leading the Crimson Tide in receiving yards and touchdowns last season. With Tyler Boyd no longer in the mix (he signed with Tennessee as a free agent), Cincinnati has an immediate need for a No. 3 receiver. In addition, Tee Higgins is heading into 2024 on the franchise tag, and his future in Cincinnati is uncertain. Given the circumstances, Burton has considerable long-term upside in this offense. Meanwhile, the big question for All is about the ACL injury he suffered in 2023 in his senior year at Iowa. The Bengals, however, feel good about his recovery as he enters a depth chart behind Mike Gesicki, Tanner Hudson, and Drew Sample. |
Commanders | Jake Fromm let go Tue May 14, 02:10 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jake Fromm was released on Tuesday, May 14.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com suggested, the move comes as no surprise. The Commanders already had veteran backup quarterbacks Marcus Mariota and Jeff Driskel on the roster. They also drafted Jayden Daniels with the second overall pick, then gave undrafted rookie quarterback Sam Hartman a $245,000 guarantee giving him a great shot at making the final roster. Fromm was fifth on the depth chart, and few teams carry five quarterbacks, even on a 90-player roster. |

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (ankle) is not participating in organized team activities this week due to an ankle injury, according to head coach Raheem Morris. Per Morris, Robinson is expected to be ready to take part in mandatory minicamp from June 10 to June 12.
| Footballguys view: Robinson, who ran 214 times for 976 yards and caught 58 passes for 487 yards during his rookie season, will be an integral part of new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's offense. We'll continue to watch for more, but Robinson comes in at RB3 on our Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings and RB1 on our Dynasty Rankings. Those expectations don't change based on a minor issue in May. |
Bills | Marquez Valdes-Scantling agrees with Buffalo Tue May 14, 09:19 AM
Free-agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Chiefs) agreed to a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Buffalo Bills Tuesday, May 14. The deal includes a $1.125 million signing bonus.
| Footballguys view: After recording 1,807 total receiving yards from 2020 through 2022, Valdes-Scantling failed to live up to expectations with Kansas City in 2023. Despite appearing in 16 games, he hauled in just 21 catches for 315 yards and a touchdown. Still, MVS can threaten opposing defenses with his speed, and there's something to be said for playing alongside Josh Allen in Buffalo's high-powered offense. While the Bills drafted Keon Coleman in the second round of last month's draft, adding depth was needed after the team parted ways with Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. |

Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Coming off a productive career at Michigan, Corum is expected to complement Kyren Williams in Los Angeles. The question is whether the newcomer will become a limiting factor for Williams, who is RB8 on the Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings. Williams finished last year as fantasy's RB7, but volume was the key to his success. At this point, Corum's possible impact is something to watch as the Rams enter training camp and the exhibition season. |
