Saints | Kendre Miller could have competition Fri May 22, 02:26 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller is not guaranteed to be the No. 2 back if RB Alvin Kamara does not return to the team, according to Mike Triplett of New Orleans Football, and Triplett believes the Saints would 'go shopping' for a reliable backup if Kamara is not with the team.
| Footballguys view: Miller has failed to endear himself to Kellen Moore and his coaching staff going into the last year of his rookie deal after the team drafted him in the third round back in 2023. Last year's sixth round pick Devin Neal and Broncos 2024 fourth round pick Audric Estime both looked competent after Kamara and Miller went down last year, and either of them could beat out Miller for a roster spot whether Kamara is with the team this year or not. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart working on sliding Fri May 22, 02:26 PM
New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart said he has been studying tape of his scrambles with quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan to work on knowing when sliding is the better option.
| Footballguys view: This indicates that the new Giants regime doesn't want Dart to lose his scrambling edge. His added value from running the ball last year isn't fully baked into his ADP, with Dart falling to around QB10 in early drafts. He could be a hit if Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo play like their pre-injury selves in 2026. |
Titans | Outstanding practice for Carnell Tate Fri May 22, 02:26 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate caught three touchdowns during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 21.
| Footballguys view: Calvin Ridley wasn't there, but after this show, maybe he will feel a sense of urgency to get there. The very early returns on the fourth overall pick's chemistry with Cam Ward are very good. |
Giants | Darius Slayton should be ready for camp Fri May 22, 02:26 PM
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (hernia) should be ready for the start of training camp after undergoing sports hernia surgery this offseason, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: With Malik Nabers unsure for Week 1, Slayton will have a chance to start and be a focal point of the downfield passing game. He'll compete with free agent signing Darnell Mooney, who had the best year of his career under new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy in Chicago, and third round pick Malachi Fields. This is a battle to watch in training camp along with Nabers progress in recovery from a second knee surgery. |

Dolphins | Miami adds Carlos Washington Fri May 22, 02:26 PM
Free-agent RB Carlos Washington Jr. (Falcons) signed with the Miami Dolphins Thursday, May 21. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived TE Jalin Conyers.
| Footballguys view: Washington spent the last three years on the Falcons practice squad. He's a versatile back who has a chance to make the Dolphins as their fourth running back behind De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Ollie Gordon II after priority UDFA signing Le'Veon Moss retired shortly following Miami signing him when he went undrafted this year. |
Bears | Salvon Ahmed and Anthony Johnson Jr. sign with Chicago Fri May 22, 02:19 PM
Free agent RB Salvon Ahmed (Colts) and DB Anthony Johnson Jr. (Giants) signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday, May 21. In a corresponding move, they waived RB Deion Hankins.
| Footballguys view: Ahmed suffered a serious ankle injury in camp last year, but was declared fully healthy and will vie for a roster spot behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai in Chicago. Ahmed's initial burst was NFL quality in his cup of coffee with the Dolphins earlier in his career, so we shouldn't completely write him off. |

Titans | Cam Ward down 10 pounds Fri May 22, 01:03 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward told the media he has lost 10 pounds this offseason ahead of the new season.
| Footballguys view: Many observers commented this week on Ward looking svelte upon his return to the practice field. This can only enhance his ability to add fantasy value as a scrambler. He's going outside of the top 20 at his position, but the Titans made some big additions on offense in the offseason and Ward improved as his rookie season went on with his team falling apart around him. If the ragtag offensive line can hold up, Ward could be one of the biggest breakout quarterbacks of 2026 fantasy drafts. |
NFL | Tyreek Hill could miss half the season Fri May 22, 10:01 AM
Free-agent WR Tyreek Hill (knee) could miss the first half of the season, ESPN insider Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show.
| Footballguys view: Generally, teams don't like to sign injured players and prefer wait until they are healthy. That means that Hill might not be signed before the season. There has been little buzz about interest around the league, so there's no signing on the horizon at this point. This news should also discourage you from taking Hill in best ball drafts before the very late rounds. |

Chargers | Keenan Allen could return Thu May 21, 04:28 PM
Free-agent WR Keenan Allen (Chargers) is a player the Los Angeles Chargers are open to re-signing this offseason, according to general manager Joe Hortiz. Hortiz said he has talked with Allen's agent this offseason.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers are watching to see what their young receivers look like this offseason. If they feel like some veteran depth is needed, adding Allen is an easy call. Last year, Allen snared 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns. |

Titans | No issues for Cam Ward Thu May 21, 04:15 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward is not having any issues with his right shoulder during offseason workouts despite injuring the shoulder in the last game of the 2025 season, according to head coach Robert Saleh.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Titans here. Ward showed as a rookie that the game is not too big for him, and that gives us confidence about him taking the next step as a passer in 2026. Titans OC Brian Daboll said the team is installing the new system and Ward "is able to pick things up very quickly." |
Giants | Malik Nabers has goal of being ready for start of the season Thu May 21, 02:26 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) has a goal to be ready for the start of the season, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Nabers tore his ACL in early October last year, and he's been on the road to recovery since then. The young receiver did undergo a cleanup procedure earlier this spring, but that's not supposed to interrupt his timeline. Expect to see him out there in training camp, but it might be closer to the end of camp before Nabers gets ramped up. |

Jaguars | Nate Boerkircher signs rookie deal Thu May 21, 11:30 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars second-round draft choice TE Nate Boerkircher signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Wednesday, May 20. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Boerkircher is a traditional "Y" tight end. He's mainly a blocker, and he can be a devastating blocker for the Jaguars. Fantasy GMs aren't getting points for blocks, so the rookie may not have much value in our game - even in dynasty formats. Brenton Strange is the team's move tight end and best receiving weapon at the position. |
Raiders | Kirk Cousins the frontrunner for QB1? Thu May 21, 11:25 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins took a majority of the reps with the first-team offense at practice Wednesday, May 20, and the 'expectation' is that Cousins will open the season as the starter, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Cousins is the seasoned veteran who knows the Kubiak (Shanahan) system like the back of his hand. Fernando Mendoza will take over as the starter at some point in the near future, but Cousins should be the starter for at least the first month of the season. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow eyeing TD record Thu May 21, 11:17 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow said he wants to break the franchise record for touchdowns this season. Burrow is 48 passing touchdowns away from the mark.
| Footballguys view: Burrow had a career-high 43 touchdowns in 2024, so he'd have to go over his personal best to pass the franchise record in 2026. If Burrow stays healthy, pushing for over 45 passing touchdowns is well within reason. However, we've currently got Burrow projected at 36 passing touchdowns in our consensus rankings. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin excited about new OC Thu May 21, 10:45 AM
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin said he is happy that offensive coordinator David Blough plans to make him a focal point in the offense. Blough has said he wants to target McLaurin 10 times per game.
| Footballguys view: Blough said that about McLaurin a few months ago, and the veteran receiver is fired up to make that happen. Ten targets per game is a healthy number, especially when you consider the career-high for McLaurin is 8.9 targets per game. Last year was an injury-riddled season for McLaurin where he only played in 10 games. This year if healthy, McLaurin is likely a WR2 for Fantasy GMs this season. |

Raiders | Fernando Mendoza impressing coach Thu May 21, 10:39 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza has been 'as advertised' during practices, according to head coach Klint Kubiak. 'He has not disappointed,' Kubiak said. 'He's working his tail off.'
| Footballguys view: Mendoza is known as a coachable and competitive player, so it's not a shock to hear how Kubiak appreciated the no.1 overall pick. With Kirk Cousins on the roster, Mendoza can take the time to develop his skill set for the pro game. We expect Cousins to begin the regular season as the starter with Mendoza taking over when they're out of contention (halfway through the year?). |

Free-agent WR Cedrick Wilson (Dolphins) signed with the Detroit Lions Wednesday, May 20. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: As the Detroit Free Press noted, Wilson caught five passes for 44 yards in 10 games for the Miami Dolphins last season. He also had stops with the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints in his seven-year career. The Lions return starting receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and expect Isaac TeSlaa to emerge as their No. 3 receiver this fall. They also signed Greg Dortch in free agency to fill Kalif Raymond's role as a backup receiver and return man, and drafted Kendrick Law in the fifth round. |

Browns | Harold Fannin sits out Wednesday Wed May 20, 03:18 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (undisclosed) did not participate in the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 20.
| Footballguys view: While Fannin missed time late in his 2025 rookie season with a groin injury, he had participated in the team's voluntary minicamp last month, suggesting this absence might be precautionary or unrelated to a long-term issue. Fannin became just the ninth tight end since the merger to log at least 700 receiving yards as a rookie. He was so good that the Browns opted to cut ties with longtime veteran David Njoku at the end of the season. But his role could change with Todd Monken taking over as head coach. We'll follow up as needed. |
Steelers | One more year for Aaron Rodgers Wed May 20, 02:44 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers said that 2026 will be his final season.
| Footballguys view: "Yes. This is it," Rodgers said on Wednesday when asked if this would be his final NFL season. He signed a one-year contract worth up to $25 million this week, reuniting with coach Mike McCarthy, his coach for 13 seasons with the Packers. By agreeing to his deal before OTAs, Rodgers was in the building for what McCarthy called the "most important part of the offseason program." Rodgers enters his 22nd NFL season ranked at least in the top seven in most major QB categories. Only Peyton Manning (5) has won more NFL MVP Awards than Rodgers (4). |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders showing improvement Wed May 20, 02:29 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders has made significant progress with his progressions and operating of the offense this offseason, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: Sanders and Deshaun Watson split first-team reps for most of Wednesday's practice, before Watson took all the reps at the end in a simulated hurry-up drill, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green didn't get much -- if any -- first-team work, but the rotation could change from practice to practice. Monken has talked about naming a starting QB before the start of training camp, though he eased off on prior statements Wednesday, telling reporters, "We'll have it set for [Week 1 at Jacksonville]." We expect Watson to be that starter, but nothing is chiseled in stone. |
Ravens | Rashod Bateman not at workout Wed May 20, 02:23 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman was not present for the voluntary workout Tuesday, May 19.
| Footballguys view: With a revamped and new coaching staff, schemes, and plays, the absence is noteworthy. Bateman is coming off the worst season of his career, and the team added two big-bodied receivers in April's NFL Draft. Ja'Kobi Lane was selected out of USC in the third round, and Indiana's Elijah Sarratt was added later in the fourth. Again, these are voluntary sessions. We'll monitor this and report back as needed. |

Patriots | Kyle Williams expects big improvement Wed May 20, 02:07 PM
New England Patriots WR Kyle Williams said he is more familiar with the offensive scheme and expects a big leap in his production as compared to his rookie season. He said he has also added some weight this offseason to help his strength.
| Footballguys view: "I would say that me from now from my rookie year is going to be night and day," Williams said. Drafted with the 69th pick in the third round, Williams finished with 10 receptions, 209 yards, and three touchdowns last season. Although he showed potential, Williams wasn't always on the same page with quarterback Drake Maye. The then-rookie caught 42.9 percent (10 of 21) of his targets. Williams did showcase some intriguing abilities as a rookie. Most notably, the 5-11 receiver had three highlight-reel touchdowns where he showed an elite burst of speed. His progress this summer is worth watching. |
Bills | Important season for Keon Coleman Wed May 20, 01:50 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman said he considers the 2026 season to be a make-or-break season for him and will have to perform in order to remain with the team.
| Footballguys view: The 33rd pick in the 2024 NFL draft is coming off a tough 2025 season. Coleman, 23, was disciplined by former coach Sean McDermott in November for being late to a meeting. He was then inactive for three more games during the season. Coleman was also benched for a quarter of a game during his rookie season because of off-field issues. He finished the 2025 season with only one game over 100 receiving yards (Week 1) and four regular-season touchdowns. Coleman's realistic view of where he stands is a great starting point. Hopefully, he builds on it. |

Link to story Browns | Quinshon Judkins taking part in drills Wed May 20, 01:09 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) is participating in individual drills during the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 20.
| Footballguys view: Judkins dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula against the Bills in Week 16 and missed the final two games of the season. According to multiple reports, Wednesday was a light practice, but Judkins was out there moving around well, and there was no noticeable sign of a brace or other support on the leg. Judkins had 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games last season. An upgraded offensive line and a new, offensive-minded head coach in Todd Monken could benefit Judkins this season. He's currently being drafted as RB22. |
Broncos | Jonah Coleman signs rookie deal Wed May 20, 10:50 AM
Denver Broncos fourth-round pick RB Jonah Coleman signed his rookie four-year deal Wednesday, May 20. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: While he starts his career in Denver behind veteran J.K. Dobbins and second-year man RJ Harvey, Coleman is a tough, physical runner with three-down capabilities due to his ability to catch passes and pass protect. He's an interesting prospect with an RB48 ADP that puts him in the same tier with Jacksonville's Chris Rodriguez Jr., the Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr., Tennessee's Tyjae Spears, and Detroit's Isiah Pacheco. |
Bills | Dalton Kincaid adding muscle; knee feeling better Wed May 20, 12:24 AM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid underwent a proper offseason regimen, has added 10-to-12 pounds of muscle and his knee feels better after a torn PCL and hamstring issues, according to Nick Sabato of the Niagara Gazette on Tuesday, May 19.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid has dealt with a nagging knee injury dating back to the 2024 season, which has led to nine games missed over the past two years, but he still decided to forego surgery. On Tuesday, he explained the expert advice he received that led him to continue to strengthen and rehab the injury instead of going under the knife. With Kincaid on point and new faces such as free-agent addition DJ Moore and fourth-round pick Skyler Bell in tow, the Bills' passing game appears much improved in the early going of the offseason. |

Falcons | Zachariah Branch stood out at OTAs Wed May 20, 12:16 AM
Atlanta Falcons WR Zachariah Branch reportedly stood out at Falcons OTAs, with an explosive catch-and-run during offense vs. defense, and overall, standing out amongst the offensive players, in the opinion of Daniel Flick of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday, May 19.
| Footballguys view: Flick wasn't alone in that assessment. According to FanSided's Garrett Klaus, "In his first days on an NFL practice field, he made A.J. Woods look helpless with a juke on an out-route, then followed it up with a catch and spin that drew immediate Bijan Robinson comparisons." For a receiver who was drafted 79th overall, the early buzz has been anything but quiet. Footballguy Sigmund Bloom believes Branch's quickness, 4.35 speed, and competitiveness could make him Tyreek Hill lite in a best-case scenario. It's enough to keep an eye on his progress this summer. |
