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
Los Angeles Chargers WR Brenen Thompson (undisclosed) left practice early with a trainer Tuesday, June 16, because of an undisclosed reasons, according to ESPN.com's Kris Rhim.

Link to story Falcons | Drake London sits out Tuesday Wed Jun 17, 01:05 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
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields could see a big role in the offense sooner rather than later. The receivers' room is a bit thin, and there is no certainty WR Malik Nabers (knee) will be able to return to start the regular season.

'My main thing is just to have a better year than my first two years,' Legette said. 'I can't -- I can't -- have another year like I did last year. I can't do that.'

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. |
Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan dealing with injury Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot) missed some time during the mandatory minicamp because of a foot injury but hopes to be ready for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: McMillan said his foot is a "little sore" and he has "no concern at all". As long as he is full go for camp next month, we agree. McMillan did injure his left foot and have a procedure on it in college, but it's not clear which foot McMillan was talking about. There's no need to move McMillan down in your rankings unless he isn't participating when camp opens. |
Vikings | Justin Jefferson to work with both QBs Fri Jun 12, 05:43 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson said he plans to work out with both QB Kyler Murray and QB J.J. McCarthy leading up to training camp.
| Footballguys view: We have a legitimate quarterback competition in Minnesota, which could be good or bad for Jefferson. If it spurs one of Murray or McCarthy to up their game and play at a high enough level to help Jefferson pay off at a still high ADP, then it is good. But if the split in first team snaps makes neither quarterback adequately prepared and the competition doesn't have a true winner - only a quarterback who wasn't as bad as his competitor - then Jefferson could be very disappointing once again this year. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs want Rice to be healthy and at his best when the start of the regular season gets here. He could be ready for the start of camp, but we expect the Chiefs to ease Rice into action over the summer. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Rice needs to get healthy, stay healthy, and stay out of trouble with the law if he wants to get a new deal from Kansas City. |

Link to story Browns | Jerry Jeudy sits out Thursday Thu Jun 11, 04:06 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, June 11, because of hamstring discomfort, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: It's June, so no big deal here. Jeudy is a speed receiver who can work defenders because of his route-running ability. With two high-profile rookie receivers added (KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston), it dings the fantasy value for Jeudy. We like him as a WR5/deep flex play in 2026. |

Link to story Browns | Denzel Boston making noise Thu Jun 11, 11:19 AM
Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston has been one of the 'standouts' during offseason activities, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: It's easy to see why when considering the physical talent that Boston brings to the field. He's a big-bodied target who can play 'above the rim.' Boston knows how to use his size and strength to box out smaller defenders. He's likely to be the team's no.3 receiver this year, but we love his upside in dynasty formats. With his size and ball skills, Boston produce as a red-zone threat. |
Seahawks | High expectations for Rashid Shaheed Thu Jun 11, 11:19 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed is expected to have bigger role in the offense, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. 'The timing of our plays looks like it should, given the amount of reps that are invested into it,' Macdonald said. 'I'm excited as heck to see where it goes.'
| Footballguys view: Shaheed is a weapon on special teams, and he brings that same danger to the offensive side of the ball. We could see him push Cooper Kupp down the depth chart, and Shaheed could easily be the team's no.2 receiver. From a fantasy perspective, Shaheed is a WR5/deep flex in standard-scoring leagues. However, the upside to move into weekly flex territory is there. |
Saints | Chris Olave taking it easy Thu Jun 11, 11:19 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (illness) has been held out of team drills while he continues to recover from the blood clot that sidelined him at the end of last season, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Olave's agent should be working on a new long-term deal with the Saints this offseason. Just over a week ago, Olave told reporters that he feels a contract extension is "going to get done soon." We'll see if something can get done before training camp. |
Seahawks | Tory Horton not on field this week Thu Jun 11, 11:19 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (shin) was on the field during the mandatory minicamp this week but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp or the early stages of camp.
| Footballguys view: A fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Horton has flashed briefly in the pros. Last year as a rookie, Horton played in eight games and started three games, finishing with 13 catches for 161 yards and five touchdowns. A shin injury cut his season short, and now he's working his way back this offseason. When healthy, Horton can operate as a special teams return man and no.3/no.4 receiver who can thrive near pay dirt. |
