Commanders | Stefon Diggs open to signing Thu Jun 18, 04:40 PM
Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) said he is open to signing with the Washington Commanders this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Diggs is now free and clear to play. Earlier this month, the NFL concluded that there was "insufficient evidence to support a finding of a personal conduct policy violation" for Diggs. With no suspension looming, some team - perhaps the Commanders - should have interest in the veteran receiver. |

Link to story Cowboys | Denzel Mims signs with Dallas Thu Jun 18, 01:20 PM
Free agent WR Denzel Mims (Jets) signed with the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, June 18. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Mims played with the Dallas Renegades in the UFL this season, and he now gets another chance to play in the NFL. He's got a size/speed combination, but the former second-round pick (Jets, 2020) has never played up to his potential. |

Bengals | Colbie Young making a name for himself Thu Jun 18, 11:50 AM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Colbie Young is in the mix to be the team's No. 3 receiver, according to offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher. 'I think he's going to fight and battle,' Pitcher said. 'He's a young player, but there are things that I think he can do quickly and help us.'
| Footballguys view: Young, a fourth-round pick out of Georgia, has the upside to be a star "X" receiver when fully developed. Everyone compares him to Courtland Sutton, and like Sutton he is a big body that can play above the rim. Young will compete with Andrei Iosivas for the no.3 spot behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. |
Broncos | Jaylen Waddle showing versatility Thu Jun 18, 11:50 AM
Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle has been involved in the passing game at all levels of the field during minicamp, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Waddle has been dazzling at Broncos camp this offseason. He can be the centerpiece of a passing game that led the NFL in passing attempts last season. The team needed more playmakers, and Waddle gives them their most explosive option. For Fantasy GMs, Waddle is a mid-range WR2 with the upside to work his way towards WR1 numbers. Catching passes from Bo Nix in a Sean Payton offense is a huge upgrade for Waddle. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson looking sharp Thu Jun 18, 11:50 AM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson 'appears to be in mid-season form' based on his performance during minicamp, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is looking sharp while still dealing with "meh" quarterback play (at best). This year, the Jets are going with Geno Smith as their starter and Wilson should be his favorite target. That makes Wilson a mid-range WR2 with the upside to be a weekly WR1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Titans | Wan'Dale Robinson has big practice Thu Jun 18, 11:50 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Wan'Dale Robinson caught eight passes from QB Cam Ward during practice Wednesday, June 17.
| Footballguys view: The Titans signed Robinson in March, and he's a player that can make big plays for his quarterback. It sounds like Robinson is building quality chemistry with Ward at practice. We'll see if that continues into training camp and the preseason later this summer. With rookie WR Carnell Tate getting a lot of attention from opponents, Robinson should perform like a WR3 for Fantasy GMs. |

Link to story Cowboys | George Pickens will not hold out Wed Jun 17, 03:59 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens said he is ready to play on the franchise tag tender this upcoming season and plans to be a full participant during training camp.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, the expectation was always that Pickens wouldn't hold out after he signed his franchise tag, but knowing the mercurial wideout's history, assuming anything with him is a risky proposition. But Pickens alleviated any concerns on Wednesday. "Like I said, the group of guys that's with the Cowboys kind of prevents you [from holding out]," Pickens said. "I talk to Dak [Prescott] . . . He's definitely gonna make you not want to hold out." Pickens led the team in targets (137), catches (93), yards (1,429), and touchdowns (eight) in 2025, his first season in Dallas. |
Saints | Jordyn Tyson limited Wed Jun 17, 02:38 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) was limited during practice Tuesday, June 16.
| Footballguys view: Tyson has been sidelined or limited for the majority of OTAs due to a nagging hamstring injury. Tyson is expected to continue to be limited for their mandatory minicamp as well. As SI.com suggests, this is likely just the team being overly cautious, but because of his injury history, it's noteworthy. We'll be watching closely when training camp opens next month to see what Tyson's level of participation is before we start rethinking his value. |
Chargers | Brenen Thompson leaves early Wed Jun 17, 02:23 PM

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Tuesday, June 16, because of a minor injury. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said London could have practiced if needed but was held out as a precaution.
| Footballguys view: Via Will McFadden of the team's website, Stefanski said on Wednesday that London is dealing with a "little thing" and the club is being "ultra cautious" with the wideout. Stefanski added that London could have practiced, but the head coach decided to hold him out of the session. We'll continue to watch this. But for now, there's no reason to view London as anything but the fantasy WR1 candidate he is. |
Saints | Chris Olave off blood thinners at end of June Wed Jun 17, 12:35 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave, who has not fully practiced since Week 17 of last season, will reportedly get off of blood thinners on June 29 to potentially be fully cleared for all football activities, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16. Olave has only done individual work during the Saints' offseason training program after missing Week 18 with a blood clot in his lung.
| Footballguys view: The Saints' offense was effective with Tyler Shough under center in 2025, which opened the door for Olave to emerge as the fantasy player we've all been waiting for. In fact, he finished the season as WR6 after closing out the year with 20 or more fantasy points in his final three games. He hit career highs in targets (156), receptions (100), yardage (1,163), and touchdowns (nine). But this issue is one of the reasons he's being drafted as WR11 with the 27th pick overall. Drafting him as your second receiver could be a winning move. |
Chargers | Ladd McConkey strains hamstring, expected to be ready for training camp Wed Jun 17, 12:31 AM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey reportedly strained his left hamstring during the Chargers' offseason program, but doesn't view it as a significant concern and expects to be ready for training camp, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.
| Footballguys view: "There's no reason to rush it and really push it and then have another setback, and then you bleed into training camp," McConkey told reporters. After what was perhaps the best rookie wide receiving season in team history, where he finished with 82 receptions, 1,149 yards, and seven touchdowns, McConkey took a step back in year two with lesser totals in almost every major category. He ended the 2025 season with 66 catches, 789 yards, and six touchdowns. Going into year three, he's planning for a bounce-back season. McConkey is being drafted as WR19 this year. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey 'working through something' Tue Jun 16, 02:42 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is 'working through something,' according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. No further details were provided.
| Footballguys view: There's no indications that this is anything to be worried about, but McConkey isn't known for his durability, so we'll be tracking this when training camp opens next month. He did reveal that it was a hamstring injury suffered during Phase 2 of the offseason program, so a recurrence in camp would be a red flag. Harbaugh also said that he and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel think McConkey could have a career year, so if you are in on McConkey, stay in on him. |
Chiefs | Rashee Rice released from jail Tue Jun 16, 10:59 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice was released from jail Tuesday, June 16, after a 30-day sentence for a probation violation.
| Footballguys view: If Rice is full go at the beginning of camp, we can probably restore him to his pre-incarceration ADP. He did have a cleanup knee surgery right before going in, so that's not a sure thing. 2025 fourth round pick Jalen Royals has flashed, but has also been inconsistent at times in place of Rice. It doesn't sound like the league is going to give Rice a suspension for his probation violation. |

Buccaneers | Ted Hurst showing versatility Mon Jun 15, 04:12 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Ted Hurst has impressed with his ability to make plays 'at all three levels,' according to Scott Reynolds of PewterReport.com.
| Footballguys view: Hurst is similar to George Pickens in terms of body type and physical gifts, and it sounds like the Georgia State product is translating against NFL players - at least in practice. If Hurst is ready for significant work as a rookie, it will likely come at the "X" position vacated by Mike Evans when he signed with San Francisco in free agency. That would put Hurst on our fantasy radar, but his snaps would come at the expense of one of the three established receivers - Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, and Jalen McMillan. It's a good problem to have if you're Baker Mayfield, who is undervalued coming off of a season when he and a lot of his offense suffered injuries. |
Patriots | Kayshon Boutte looking sharp Mon Jun 15, 04:12 PM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte 'looked like one of the best receivers on the field' during minicamp, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots have a glut of receivers since they signed Romeo Doubs and traded for AJ Brown during the offseason. Boutte was used mostly as an "X" receiver last year, which is where Brown will get the majority of his snaps, but both players have the versatility to line up at all three wide receiver spots. Boutte is headed to free agency next year, and presumably the Patriots won't sign him after adding Doubs and Brown. If a team comes with an offer of a third or fourth round pick for Boutte, they could bite. Either way, the 24-year-old's dynasty stock is on the rise. |

Link to story Cowboys | George Pickens reports for minicamp Mon Jun 15, 01:04 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens reported for the start of mandatory minicamp Monday, June 15.
| Footballguys view: The most likely outcome continues to be Pickens playing this year on the franchise tag and then heading to free agency. Dallas might be open to trading him, but not many teams would want to take on a $27.3 million cap hit for a player with Pickens reputation. Ryan Flournoy continues to impress and riff with Dak Prescott while Pickens was away during voluntary minicamp, so the Cowboys have little incentive to sign Pickens to a long term deal unless it was very team-friendly. |
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. |

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. |

Giants | Big role for Malachi Fields could come sooner Sun Jun 14, 05:21 PM

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. |

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. |
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. |

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. |
