Browns | Jerry Jeudy to rebound? Mon May 4, 12:53 AM
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy is a player the team believes will 'flourish' this season and reclaim his role as the No. 1 receiver, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
| Footballguys view: Jeudy delivered 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns in 2024. In 2025, he finished with just 50 catches for 602 yards and two touchdowns. He also finished second in the league with 10 drops. Still, GM Andrew Berry told reporters this week that the draft will have "zero impact" on Jeudy, and he doubled down, saying that Jeudy is Cleveland's "bell cow." A WR room of Jeudy, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston holds a lot of potential. If the rookies hit the ground running and live up to their potential, they can unlock the best of Jeudy. |

Ravens | Elijah Sarratt pegged for the slot Mon May 4, 12:44 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Elijah Sarratt is expected to play in the slot.
| Footballguys view: According to Footballguy Sigmund Bloom, Sarratt is a classic possession receiver who finds a way to win despite less than stellar athleticism. He probably won't ever be fantasy relevant, but could be a spot starter due to injury as a stalwart backup receiver. |
Bengals | DeAndre Hopkins reiterates desire for Cincinnati Mon May 4, 12:43 AM
Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins (Ravens) said in an interview over the weekend that he remains interested in joining the Cincinnati Bengals in 2026. 'I think (Joe Burrow) is one of the best,' Hopkins said in a Saturday interview while attending the Kentucky Derby. 'I love his game, his toughness. He took his team to a Super Bowl early in his career and I feel like he can get back there with a little bit of help.'
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, Hopkins may not be the player he was earlier in his career. Still, he would be a solid third receiver to have behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and a more reliable option than Andrei Iosivas in the slot. That wouldn't make Hopkins fantasy relevant, but it would benefit Cincy's offense. Hopkins' versatility would allow the Bengals to continue moving Chase around on the field. |

Titans | Carnell Tate was clear-cut pick for Tennessee Sun May 3, 02:33 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and assistant general manager Dave Ziegler said the team was 'unequivocal in its belief' that Tate was the best fit for the team going forward. 'At the end of the day with Carnell, we just had a very good, consensus vision on what he is going to do, where he is going to play, how he is going to fit in and what he is going to bring to this team,' Ziegler said. 'We feel we are really getting a complete three-down player. ... He was a clear guy for us to take and we are really excited about it.'
| Footballguys view: Tate gives the Cam Ward and the Titans a boundary receiver who runs precise routes, with great size and contested-catch ability. Remember, the Titans were tied with the Raiders and Jets for last in the league with three completions of 40 yards or more. Tate caught five touchdown passes of at least 40 yards at Ohio State last season. Tate's initial post-draft Footballguys projection has him at WR33 with 73 catches, 976 yards, and six touchdowns. But Tate has the upside to outperform that projection if Ward takes a Year 2 leap. |
Ravens | Like size, length of Ja'Kobi Lane Sun May 3, 01:26 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane was a pick that differed from public opinion, but general manager Eric DeCosta likes what he saw in the evaluation process, and Lane had a connection to a former Baltimore great. 'Our board is our board. We do months of work, and sometimes our evaluations differ from public consensus. Lane is a big receiver -- 6'4', ran a 4.46, excellent at contested catches with great hands,' DeCosta said. 'He has a connection through Todd Heap. We think he can be a real weapon for Lamar, especially adding big-bodied jump-ball guys after losing some speed.'
| Footballguys view: The Ravens doubled down on adding a big body receiver, adding Lane at Pick 80 and Elijah Sarratt at pick 115. Zay Flowers is entrenched as Baltimore's top receiver, while Rashod Bateman is signed through 2029. Lane and Sarratt will compete with third-year Devontez Walker for the WR3 role. According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Guide, Lane holds more upside while Sarratt is further into his developmental curve and could contribute sooner. Lane shines as a red-zone threat, a need in the Ravens receiver room. |

Tennessee Titans WR Tyren Montgomery made a 'pretty good first impression' at rookie minicamp, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com.

Giants | Malachi Fields praised by GM Sat May 2, 05:25 PM
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields can be a 'power forward' in the wide receiver room because of his size and blocking ability, according to general manager Joe Schoen.
| Footballguys view: Fields absolutely can dominate on contested catches. He might be the best in this rookie class when it comes to wrestling the ball away from smaller defenders. Fields has reliable hands and does a great job showing 'late hands' on deep throws, so the defender is not tipped off to an incoming ball. The third-round pick is a bit buried on the Giants' depth chart, but it may not take long for him to rise in the preseason. |
49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling the total package Sat May 2, 05:25 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling's run blocking ability stood out, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. 'He has an elite blocking skill,' Shanahan said.
| Footballguys view: Stribling's film was outstanding, and he cemented his draft stock with a blazing 4.36 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. His speed and strong hands make him a playmaker - and one who can do a lot of damage after the catch. Stribling is a great blocker entering the pros, and that can get him on the field faster than others from this rookie class. He's competing to establish a pecking order behind Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk. |
Seahawks | Emmanuel Henderson signs rookie deal Sat May 2, 05:25 PM
Seattle Seahawks sixth-round draft choice WR Emmanuel Henderson Jr. signed a four-year contract with the Seahawks Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Henderson steps into the pro game with the ability to immediately impact the game on special teams as a return man or a gunner. A converted running back, Henderson can make big plays as a receiving weapon. He needs to refine his route-running ability, but Henderson is a player who can rack up yards after the catch regularly. He's a depth receiver on offense, but Henderson gets the benefit of learning behind Rashid Shaheed (on both offense and special teams). |
Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane under contract Sat May 2, 05:25 PM
Baltimore Ravens third-round draft choice WR Ja'Kobi Lane signed a four-year contract with the Ravens Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Lane is a high-upside 'X' receiver with a nice size/speed combination. He's got strong hands to win at the catch point, and with more strength added in an NFL weight progam he could be even tougher to beat on 50/50 throws. Lane will compete for a spot on the Ravens depth chart behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Tez Walker. |

Commanders | Antonio Williams draws encouraging comp Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Washington Commanders WR Antonio Williams was compared to retired WR Randall Cobb by a national NFL scout.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders need Williams to come up big right away because after Terry McLaurin, they don't really have any other players to keep defensive coordinators up at night in the passing game or running game - unless they want to expose Jayden Daniels to injury as a runner by design. He's a solid 2nd/3rd round pick in PPR dynasty rookie drafts that start at least three wide receivers. |
Raiders | Malik Benson signed Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Las Vegas Raiders sixth-round draft choice WR Malik Benson signed a four-year contract with the Raiders Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Benson is one of the fastest receivers in this draft, and he can at least help as a go route specialist and as a punt and kick returner. With some improvement as a route runner, Benson could have a larger role in time, but he's not worth taking in the first 4-5 rounds of a dynasty rookie draft. Monitor Benson in return yardage leagues. |
Ravens | Elijah Sarratt signs rookie deal Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Baltimore Ravens fourth-round draft choice WR Elijah Sarratt signed a four-year contract with the Ravens Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Sarratt is an accomplished receiver who was a big part of the National Champion Indiana Hoosiers success last year. He's average at best in NFL athleticism terms, but has very reliable hands and game at the catch point, so he could be a trusted possession receiver for Lamar Jackson in time. Unfortunately, that role doesn't translate to fantasy value very often. |
Cowboys | Dallas signs six draft picks to rookie deals Fri May 1, 01:15 PM

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (abdomen) underwent surgery to repair a core muscle and will miss spring activities. He's expected to be ready for training camp.

Bills | Skyler Bell could contribute Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Buffalo Bills fourth-round draft pick WR Skyler Bell could contribute right away, according to multiple scouts.
| Footballguys view: In 2025, Bell set a UCONN record for receptions (101) and receiving touchdowns (13) in a single season. He's a big-play threat anytime he runs a route, and the Bills can find ways to get the rookie on the field. Bell enters a WR room in Buffalo featuring DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, and Keon Coleman. That's a group of guys he can compete with and move up the depth chart if he develops his skills to the pro game. |
Browns | KC Concepcion ready to work Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion said he believes QB Shadeur Sanders is a great leader and is looking forwarding to working with him. 'I just can't wait to build that relationship and build that connection with him,' Concepcion said.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion met with Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes after he transferred from NC State. Sanders is competing with Deshaun Watson for the starting job this season, and Concepcion can be a key cog to that offense - immediately - because of his speed and playmaking ability. Let's see how his connection with Sanders looks during the offseason and into training camp/preseason. |

Dolphins | Chris Bell could start on reserve list Wed Apr 29, 04:44 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) is a candidate to start the 2026 season on either the Reserve/Injured list or the Physically Unable to Perform list, in the opinion of DolphinsWire's Jason Sarney.
| Footballguys view: Bell tore his ACL in late November last year. Before the injury, he was projected by some to be a first-round pick. Because of his injury, 17 receivers were taken ahead of him. As SBNation reported, Bell plans to use that as motivation. "[The injury] had me frustrated [during the draft], just knowing that I was better than some of the guys that went off the board [ahead of me]," he said. Bell is just four and a half months out of surgery right now. It might not be this year, but he could have a high ceiling once healthy. |
Lions | James Proche worked out Wed Apr 29, 03:19 PM
Free-agent WR James Proche (Titans) worked out for the Detroit Lions Tuesday, April 28, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Now that the NFL Draft has concluded, the Lions' personnel department is continuing their search for talent. On Tuesday, it was veteran receiver Scotty Miller. Today, Proche, 29, a sixth-round draft pick back in 2020, gets a look. After spending three seasons in Baltimore, he was cut following the 2023 preseason. He had a stint with the Cleveland Browns (2023-2024) prior to spending the 2025 season with the Tennessee Titans. |

Bears | Scotty Miller to work out Wed Apr 29, 02:14 PM
Free-agent WR Scotty Miller (Steelers) is scheduled to work out for the Chicago Bears next week.
| Footballguys view: Miller is known for good speed but has had more than 11 receptions in a season only once since his lone big year, a 33-catch second season with Tom Brady at quarterback for the Super Bowl champion Buccaneers in 2020. Miller, who visited Detroit on Tuesday, has been at the bottom of three teams' rosters or on the practice squad, and there are several backup receivers already on the Bears' 90-man roster who have the advantage of system knowledge. |

Link to story Eagles | A.J. Brown to net first-round pick from Pats Wed Apr 29, 12:24 AM
Philadelphia Eagles A.J. Brown will likely be traded to the New England Patriots for a first-round draft pick when the trade 'comes together' on June 1, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: The two sides have discussed a deal, according to Schefter, but neither has been willing to commit to it before June 1 -- when the Eagles could split Brown's $43 million dead salary cap charge between this year and next. But everything is lining up for a move to happen. The Eagles drafted rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and they also signed three veterans in Elijah Moore, Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, and Dontayvion Wicks. Meanwhile, the Patriots passed completely on drafting a wide receiver. Stay tuned. |

Lions | Scotty Miller meets with Detroit Wed Apr 29, 12:17 AM
Free agent (Steelers) WR Scotty Miller met with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, April 29. He will also try out for the Chicago Bears next week.
| Footballguys view: Miller originally signed with the Steelers back in May, 2024. He spent the season with Pittsburgh but was released in January of 2025. The Steelers then brought Miller back later that month. Miller appeared in 11 games last season and even got one start. Miller finished with nine receptions for 62 receiving yards. The Lions don't have a pressing need at receiver right now. Their three starters are Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Isaac TeSlaa. In total, Detroit has nine receivers on its roster, so the team may be updating its scouting reports on future additions. |

Chargers | Quentin Johnston gets option exercised by LAC Tue Apr 28, 04:54 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston had his fifth-year option exercised by the Chargers on Tuesday, April 28.
| Footballguys view: The move fully guarantees Johnston's $18 million salary for 2027. The Chargers made Johnston a first-round pick in 2023. He led the team in touchdowns the past two seasons and posted a career-high 735 receiving yards in 14 games last season. Johnston has 144 catches for 1,877 yards and 18 touchdowns since entering the league. The Chargers have a deep wide receivers room with Ladd McConkey, Johnston, Tre' Harris, and KeAndre Lambert-Smith. |

Free-agent WR Jauan Jennings (49ers) has been receiving interest from the Miami Dolphins this offseason, but the Dolphins to not have the salary cap space to sign him at this point, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins, who traded Jaylen Waddle and released Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, have been adding wideouts on the cheap since. They signed Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell in the first wave of free agency, then selected three -- Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman Jr. -- in last week's NFL Draft. While it's a reach financially, if he lands in Miami, Jennings, who caught a career-high nine touchdowns with the Niners last season, would likely be the team's top wideout. |

Bills | Buffalo not moving Keon Coleman Tue Apr 28, 12:44 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman has received trade interest this offseason, but general manager Brandon Beane said the team is not interested in trading Coleman.
| Footballguys view: Coleman has had two inconsistent seasons with the Bills. He was disciplined last November for being late to a meeting and was a healthy scratch for four games. By the end of 2025, Coleman was Buffalo's sixth wide receiver. He had 38 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games this past season. Even if he's sticking around, the team used a fourth-round pick this year on UConn wide receiver Skyler Bell to add to a receiver room that also includes DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Joshua Palmer. |
