Link to story Giants | Malik Nabers could play Week 1 Thu Jul 23, 03:22 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers has 'a realistic possibility' to play in Week 1, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
| Footballguys view: Nabers should be able to avoid the PUP list according to this report. That means he could participate in a limited fashion at the start of training camp. We're not sure how much (if at all) Nabers will play in the preseason, but this is a positive update as he continues to recover from the knee injury that cut his 2025 season short last September. |
Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan to get more work in the slot Thu Jul 23, 03:14 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan is expected to play 'a lot more big slot' in 2026, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe.
| Footballguys view: This report indicates we could see the team double the amount of snaps McMillan had at 'big slot' last year. That could put him in the nearly 30 percent range of routes run against safeties and linebackers. McMillan has a current ADP of WR17 (4.02) and getting more 'big slot' opportunities will help him perform up to expectations. |
Panthers | Jonathon Brooks will have 'no limitations' Thu Jul 23, 03:10 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will have 'no limitations' returning to practice.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Panthers here. Brooks is set to be in an RBBC with Chubba Hubbard, and reports from the spring indicate Brooks has looked incredible. He's going off the board near the turn at the end of the 8th round (RB39), and Brooks certainly provides upside to do more if he can stay healthy. |
Raiders | Fernando Mendoza signs rookie deal Thu Jul 23, 02:04 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza signed a four-year, $57.27 million deal that is fully guaranteed and includes a fifth-year option on Thursday, July 23.
| Footballguys view: The no.1 overall pick is signed, and now we wait to see how long it takes for him to get into the starting lineup. The Raiders have Kirk Cousins as the seasoned veteran to likely begin the regular season as the starter. We imagine it won't take long for Mendoza to get out there. Perhaps in the middle of the season we'll see the rookie take over. |
Eagles | Nick Sirianni 'excited' for DeVonta Smith to get extra targets Thu Jul 23, 01:29 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith should see extra targets coming his way in 2026 following the trade of WR AJ Brown. Head coach Nick Sirianni is 'excited' about the opportunities he will have.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs should be excited about what Smith could do this year. There has been plenty of buzz about Smith being the Eagles version of Jaxon Smith-Njigba - meaning he's going to be in line for a ton of targets. He is going off the board near the beginning of the third round in 12-team PPR leagues. There's no doubt Smith could post WR1 numbers in 2026. |

Jaguars | Liam Coen expecting 'a big year' from Bhayshul Tuten Thu Jul 23, 01:21 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is expected to have 'a big year' from his head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Tuten steps into the lead role for the Jaguars with Travis Etienne gone. He's got a ton of speed and can eat up yards in a hurry. Tuten should win the starting job, but Chris Rodriguez will split time with him. We like Tuten as an RB3 with upside for Fantasy GMs. He has a current ADP around the turn near the end of the sixth round of standard formats. |
NFL | Tyreek Hill still struggling Thu Jul 23, 10:03 AM
Free-agent WR Tyreek Hill (Dolphins) said he still has no power in his left leg after suffering a dislocated knee and multiple ligament tears in Week 4 last season. 'So it's about 10 months after doing two surgeries,' Hill said. 'My left leg is the one that I injured. I have no power in my left leg, so I'm trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it's one day at a time.'
| Footballguys view: Hill didn't add a timeline for his recovery, but he did say that his timeline is "looking real good right now." Well, it seems like Hill is not going to be ready to play until late in the regular season or perhaps into the postseason. We'll see how many teams show interest when Hill is closer to playing. |

NFL | Jimmy Garoppolo open to playing Thu Jul 23, 10:03 AM
Free-agent QB Jimmy Garoppolo (Rams) said he is open to playing in 2026 in the right situation.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo is not yet going to retire, although that's been a consideration for the veteran quarterback. Instead, he'll wait for the right situation (likely a Super Bowl contender) to open up. When injuries hit in camp and the regular season, there's likely a few teams that will have Garoppolo in mind in case of emergency. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett report for camp Thu Jul 23, 10:03 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett reported for the start of training camp Wednesday, July 22, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Brissett wants to be paid as a starter, and he's been in talks with the team about getting a new contract that pays him appropriately. While talks may be ongoing, there's a chance Brissett is going to 'hold in' as things shake out. They have Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck as starting options if things go astray with Brissett. |

NFL | Joe Mixon done? Thu Jul 23, 09:55 AM
Free-agent RB Joe Mixon (Texans) has told former teammates his career is likely over due to his foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Mixon missed all of 2025 with this foot injury. He had surgery last year, and reports indicate the injury required another surgery. Mixon is on the mend, but he might never be able to be cleared to play again. He might be cleared to play later this season, but it seems like a long shot to see him ever suit up in the NFL again. |

Seahawks | Harrison Bryant let go Wed Jul 22, 04:34 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Harrison Bryant was released Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: Bryant signed with the Seahawks in April after spending last season with the Texans. He has previously spent time with the Eagles, Raiders, and Browns. A.J. Barner and Elijah Arroyo are the tight ends of interest in this offense, although neither is being drafted as a front-line fantasy prospect. |

Link to story NFL | Deebo Samuel ready to play Wed Jul 22, 04:24 PM
Free-agent WR Deebo Samuel (Commanders) said he is looking to continue his playing career and will be ready to play once the right opportunity comes around.
| Footballguys view: Samuel became a free agent in March when his contract with the Commanders expired. In a YouTube video, Samuel told viewers he's ready to hit the ground running once a chance to play materializes. Samuel scored 42 touchdowns as a receiver and runner over six seasons with the 49ers. He caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns after being traded to the Commanders last year. That production was down from his best years with the Niners, and it remains to be seen where he might get a chance to show he still has a lot in the tank. |

Patriots | New England makes change to roster Wed Jul 22, 04:11 PM
Free-agent TE Mitch Van Vooren (Browns) signed with the New England Patriots Wednesday, July 22. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also released FB Brock Lampe.
Link to story Cardinals | Jacob Brissett expected to be at start of camp Wed Jul 22, 02:50 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett should be in attendance at the start of training camp for the team, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Brissett will presumably be in attendance, but CBSSports.com suggests the veteran quarterback could still stage a "hold-in" due to his ongoing contract dispute. Per Rapoport, the Cardinals agree that a raise would be warranted for Brissett, but the two sides have not yet been able to come to terms on an exact figure. |

Cardinals | Carson Beck signs rookie deal Wed Jul 22, 02:08 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck signed his rookie contract for four years and $7.4 million on Wednesday, July 22.
| Footballguys view: Beck was drafted in the third round (pick No. 65) in this year's draft. The 24-year-old rookie is expected to battle with Gardner Minshew for the backup job behind starter Jacoby Brissett -- assuming Brissett gets the contract he's after before the season starts. |
Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet placed on PUP list Wed Jul 22, 01:27 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was placed on the PUP list on Wednesday, July 22, ahead of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet can be activated from the list at any point in camp, but the timing of the injury means that it will likely be some time before the team will be moving him to the active roster. Charbonnet ran 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. First-round pick Jadarian Price, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones, and Jacardia Wright are the healthy options at running back in Seattle. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett in talks for pay raise Wed Jul 22, 12:16 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is in talks with the team on a pay raise, according to a report from NFL Network on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: "My understanding of the situation is the Arizona Cardinals are in agreement that Jacoby Brissett deserves more money," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said. "The two sides have been negotiating for several months. They have not yet agreed on a number, but they do believe he is due a new deal and deserves one." Even though talks have been at a standstill, teammates clearly view Brissett as the starting quarterback. Carson Beck and Gardner Minshew are standing by, but Brissett took this offense to new heights last year, and fantasy managers should hope he ends up as the Week 1 starter. |

Lions | Sam LaPorta fully cleared for training camp Wed Jul 22, 12:09 AM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (herniated disc) was reportedly cleared in full for training camp but is expected to be full go, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta has settled in as one of the league's top tight ends. His TE1 season as a rookie defied history when it came to first-year tight ends as fantasy producers. But he's slowed down since, pulling in a combined 100 passes for 1,215 yards and 10 touchdowns in 25 games over the past two seasons. Nonetheless, he was on track for a third straight top-10 finish at his position last year, and he finished seventh in points per game. LaPorta is being drafted as TE8. |

Raiders | LV will 'sprinkle' first-team reps for Fernando Mendoza in camp Wed Jul 22, 12:08 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza will reportedly receive some first-team reps at quarterback during training camp, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com's Albert Breer noted, Mendoza got about six weeks of work in the spring as a ramp-up to camp, and that time was spent largely on fundamentals. New head coach Klint Kubiak had Mendoza start a detailed progression in learning the scheme's footwork. The Raiders also drilled him on working from under center, something he didn't do much in college. Kirk Cousins handled most of the first-team reps. A report this week suggested the Raiders would prefer Cousins to start all year, although Mendoza could take over at some point if he picks things up quickly. |
Patriots | NE places two on PUP list to begin training camp Tue Jul 21, 05:29 PM
New England Patriots TE CJ Dippre and LB Harold Landry were placed on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21. This means they are not yet cleared for practice, but can be activated at any time.

Patriots | NFI list for Terrell Jennings to start camp Tue Jul 21, 05:26 PM
New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings will start training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21. This means a player is not cleared for practice but can be activated at any time.
Link to story Raiders | Mike Washington 'occasionally' received first-team reps at OTAs Tue Jul 21, 04:58 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. reportedly received occasional first-team reps at running back during the Raiders' offseason training program, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: According to McFadden, Washington has the potential to grow into a second option in the backfield, as he has a nice blend of size and speed. At Arkansas, he rushed for 1,070 yards, with 606 yards coming after first contact, and eight touchdowns. Washington also totaled 28 catches for 226 yards and a touchdown. HC Klint Kubiak expects Ashton Jeanty to have a heavy workload, but that shouldn't take away from Washington playing meaningful snaps. |
Broncos | 'A surprise' if Evan Engram earns more snaps than Adam Trautman in 2026 Tue Jul 21, 04:42 PM
Denver Broncos TE Evan Engram earned 40% of snaps last season, compared to 57% for fellow TE Adam Trautman, and it would be a surprise if Engram earned more time on the field than Trautman in 2026, in the opinion of Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Matt Waldman notes, Engram was third in targets last year, but he only scored once. And unless he generates 90-100 targets or 8-10 scores, don't expect a return to starting fantasy TE status in most formats. The timeshare with Trautman makes those numbers unlikely. |

Vikings | 'Right up to the start of the season' for starting QB competition? Tue Jul 21, 04:22 PM
Minnesota Vikings QBs Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy's competition to win the starting quarterback job this season could go right up to the start of the season, in the opinion of Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: When Murray signed with the Vikings, the thinking was that he had the inside track to be the starter. All signs had pointed in that direction, even as he spent the offseason splitting reps with incumbent starter J.J. McCarthy as part of an open competition. But public accounts of the team's final minicamp sessions created the impression that McCarthy was making strides and Murray was struggling. While that obviously creates intrigue as training camp opens, multiple observers have told us that if the season were starting today, Murray would likely be the starter. We'll see if McCarthy can change that. |

Commanders | Treylon Burks likely to make team Tue Jul 21, 02:39 PM
Washington Commanders WR Treylon Burks is not guaranteed a roster spot but is likely to make the 53-man roster, in the opinion of CommandersWire's Bryan Manning.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders have not added a veteran free-agent receiver this summer, despite the clear need for a No. 2 receiver opposite Terry McLaurin. That doesn't mean they won't sign someone like Stefon Diggs off the street, but unless and until they do, Burks should benefit from increased opportunities in camp. As SBNation noted, this is a prove-it year for a 26-year-old who has flashed but never established himself as a steady threat. Injuries have been the biggest roadblock for a player who hasn't exceeded 444 receiving yards in a season. We'll be watching for more over the next month. |
Broncos | Bo Nix to be cleared when training camp opens? Tue Jul 21, 01:02 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) could be 100% cleared when camp opens, which is consistent with Nix's messaging over the last month about his injury, in the opinion of The Denver Post's Troy Renck on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: Nix enters his third NFL season after finishing inside the top-10 at the position (with QB8 and QB9 outcomes) during each of his first two campaigns. He was a very limited participant during the Broncos' offseason program while recovering from the two procedures he had on his ankle. But Nix has shown consistent progress and even been deemed ahead of schedule. The Broncos have insisted the third-year man will be ready, and Nix continues to show signs they were right. |
Packers | Tucker Kraft contract extension next? Tue Jul 21, 01:01 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft is entering the final season of his contract and the Packers hope to get an extension done with him, in the opinion of Jordan Schultz on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: NFL insider Ian Rapoport also reported that Kraft is the Packers' top priority for an extension before the season begins. Kraft is currently slated to make $3.624 million in base salary with a $3.93 million cap hit after triggering the proven performance escalator. That's a bargain for a tight end of his caliber, and both sides know it. Kraft is recovering from a torn ACL, which could impact negotiations, but Green Bay already locked up Sean Rhyan, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Devonte Wyatt, and Isaiah McDuffie. Kraft is the obvious next domino to fall. |

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving 'good to go' for training camp Tue Jul 21, 12:59 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving said he is 'good to go' for training camp at his youth football camp, according to a source on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: Irving returned to the Bucs practice fields on the final day of OTAs, the first time he hit the field since shoulder surgery earlier this year. That's good news for Irving, who'll face competition for snaps from free-agent addition Kenny Gainwell. Irving is being drafted as RB21 in early Round 5. Gainwell is RB34 going in Round 8. Irving's ADP reflects last year's points-per-game finish and his 2026 Footballguys projection. Could Gainwell be a limiting factor? We'll be watching for more. |
Panthers | Xavier Legette 'on the hot seat' this season Tue Jul 21, 12:58 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette is 'on the hot seat' this season, in the opinion of The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: Legette, John Metchie, and Chris Brazzell II will likely compete for the No. 3 receiver job during the offseason workouts and training camp. Legette has the size and speed to be a run-after-catch threat, but hasn't shown the ability to win downfield. Brazzell is a long, fast, flexible receiver in the mold of George Pickens, who could make a splash right away given the quality of Bryce Young's deep ball. That said, the Panthers' pass offense isn't at the level where it can support three fantasy-relevant wide receivers, so investors shouldn't dive too deep here. |

Seahawks | Two DBs not ready to practice Mon Jul 20, 04:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (undisclosed) and CB Tyrone Broden (undisclosed) were placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, it's currently unclear what landed Emmanwori on the PUP list, as he was a participant during the club's offseason program. But at this time of year, Emmanwori can come off the list to practice at any time. One of the league's best defensive rookies last year, Emmanwori tallied 81 total tackles with nine tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, 11 passes defensed, and an interception in 14 regular-season games in 2025. We'll monitor his status as camp gets underway. |
Seahawks | Kenny McIntosh starting camp on PUP list Mon Jul 20, 04:17 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenny McIntosh (knee) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: McIntosh was joined by safety Nick Emmanwori and cornerback Tyrone Broden. McIntosh and Broden are both coming back from injuries that occurred last year, landing them on injured reserve, while Emmanwori was on the field for offseason workouts this spring and summer. Players on the physically unable to perform list are eligible to return at any time during training camp, then if they are on the PUP list when rosters are reduced to 53 players, they are required to miss a minimum of four games. The reporting on McIntosh has been vague, with an implied return but without a timetable given. |

Commanders | Luke McCaffrey may join starting lineup Mon Jul 20, 01:30 PM
Washington Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey could earn the No. 2 receiver job if he performs well during training camp and the preseason, in the opinion of CommandersWire's Bryan Manning.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey was trending in the right direction before breaking his collarbone midway through last season. He quickly established himself as one of the NFL's top kickoff returners in the first half, averaging almost 30 yards per return. As a receiver, McCaffrey only had 15 targets in nine games, but caught 11 passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns. He also averaged 18.5 yards per reception. While the Commanders are reportedly in the market for a WR2 -- Stefon Diggs has been mentioned -- it'll be interesting to see which current receivers, including McCaffrey, make a case in camp. |
