Packers | Christian Watson likely a PUP candidate Mon May 19, 12:38 AM
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) probably will start the 2025 regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, in the opinion of PackersWire's Mark Oldacres.
| Footballguys view: Watson suffered a season-ending ACL tear in the 2024 regular-season finale against the Chicago Bears. The timing of the injury means that Watson isn't a lock to play in 2025. The Packers added Matthew Golden in the first round of April's NFL Draft and Savion Williams in the third round, bolstering their depth at the position. Given the first-round capital invested in Golden, Watson's future in Green Bay beyond 2025 -- the final year of his rookie deal -- might also become uncertain. |
Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson missing workouts Mon May 19, 12:23 AM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (personal) has been absent from recent voluntary offseason workouts while he deals with personal matters.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson's father, Robert, passed away in March at age 54. Stevenson also lost his childhood friend, Brandan Harley, last season. Understanding that Stevenson has experienced sudden and heartbreaking losses in a short period of time, teammates privately say they hope to provide him with as much support as possible once he starts spending more time at the facility. Meanwhile, his recent absences during the voluntary offseason program might explain why the team signed veteran Trayveon Williams to a one-year deal on Wednesday, adding another layer of depth to better evenly distribute some of the work. |

Panthers | Coach happy with Tetairoa McMillan Sun May 18, 04:03 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan has been impressive during offseason workouts and has shown a very good work ethic, according to wide receivers coach Rob Moore. 'He works on his ability to finish, and try and be detailed. It's one of the hardest things for young players to really dial in on the details of every play. He was really dialed in,' Moore said.
| Footballguys view: McMillan was arguably the best wide receiver in this draft class, and there's shades of Mike Evans to his game. His size/speed combination is going to help move the chains, and McMillan's consistency should make him a favorite target for QB Bryce Young early and often in 2025. |
Saints | New Orleans not considering Aaron Rodgers Sun May 18, 04:02 PM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) has not been considered as a possible option for the New Orleans Saint after QB Derek Carr's retirement.
| Footballguys view: When Carr retired, the news machine quickly went to the unsigned Rodgers as an option. That always seemed like media hype more than reality. The Saints seem comfortable with a quarterback group including Spencer Rattler, rookie Tyler Shough, and Jake Haener as starting options. The starting job will be hammered out in training camp and the preseason. |

Rams | QB impressed with Davante Adams Sun May 18, 03:36 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford said he has been working out with WR Davante Adams this offseason and that Adams fits right in with the team.
| Footballguys view: Adams is a special player, and he can still be a big threat in his age-32 season. Stafford and Adams should be a fantasy force, so Adams still should post WR2 numbers for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Cowboys | DAL unlikely to make further moves at running back Sun May 18, 11:18 AM
The Dallas Cowboys are not expected to make any further moves at running back this offseason, after signing RBs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders in free agency and drafting RBs Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah.
| Footballguys view: Many thought the Cowboys would do more, but all offseason they've insisted they're happy with this group. Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer expressed support for Williams at the owner's meetings (and coaches breakfast) earlier this year. Williams is the season veteran who is sound as a runner, receiver, and in pass protection. However, he's not been the same since injuring his knee with the Broncos a few years ago. Let's see if Williams can win this job in camp, but expect the team to use multiple backs in an RBBC that Fantasy GMs may avoid. |

Bills | Elijah Moore excited about opportunity Sat May 17, 04:03 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Elijah Moore said he is excited to play with QB Josh Allen because he has not played with a stable quarterback for most of his career.
| Footballguys view: A second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft for the Jets, Moore was traded to the Browns in 2023. During his four pro seasons with those two teams, Moore has played with 10 different starting quarterbacks - so it's a huge chance for him to impress with one of the league's best now that he's with the Bills. Moore has stated he would be interested in returning kicks this year too as he tries to win a spot on the 53-man roster in Buffalo. He's competing for the no.3 spot on the depth chart behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir. |

Dolphins | Ollie Gordon II headed for quiet rookie year? Sat May 17, 12:22 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II is 'probably still a long shot for real production' as a rookie, according to Mike Clay of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Gordon is a talented rookie the Dolphins were able to add out of Oklahoma State in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He's got power to his game, and he's an efficient runner who wastes little motion between the tackles. Gordon is competing for the no.3 spot on the depth chart (behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright) with Alexander Mattison. We like stashing Gordon in deep dynasty, but his path to redraft value in 2025 seems cluttered. |
Colts | Limited role for DJ Giddens? Sat May 17, 11:54 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens could 'max out' as an early-down backup to RB Jonathan Taylor, according to Mike Clay of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Giddens has talent, and the Kansas State rusher is a slashing back who can knife through lanes while eating up yards quickly. He was a productive player for the Wildcats, and his consistency was a hallmark to his game. Giddens looks like the no.3 back for the Colts this year behind Taylor and Khalil Herbert. There's a chance Giddens pushes Herbert for the primary backup job. |
Chiefs | Jalen Royals could fill Rashee Rice-type role Sat May 17, 11:09 AM
Kansas City Chiefs director of player personnel Ryne Nutt said that the organization views rookie WR Jalen Royals fulfilling a similar role in 2025 to the one filled by WR Rashee Rice (knee) last season. Nutt said that his run-after-catch ability is one of his strong suits but added that his route running is an area where he needs to continue developing.
| Footballguys view: Royals was a fourth-round pick of the Chiefs coming out of Utah State in this year's draft. He's capable of taking short passes and turning them into long gains. Royals should be able to help move the chains, especially with QB Patrick Mahomes finding him on time and on target. The rookie has talent, but he's buried on the depth chart and likely competing for the no.4 spot with JuJu Smith-Schuster. |
Rashee Rice player page
Dolphins | De'Von Achane hopes to be more productive Sat May 17, 12:26 AM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane said he believes he was not as productive as he could have been in 2024 and hopes to rush for at least 1,000 yards this upcoming season.
| Footballguys view: Achane rushed for 907 yards last year, averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Those totals were significantly boosted by a pair of monster runs at the end of the season when he gained 50 yards on a second-half run in a win over the San Francisco 49ers and 61 yards on one run in Miami's season-closing loss to the New York Jets. Before those big gains, Achane averaged less than 3.3 yards per carry in eight regular-season games. Miami's offensive line struggled so much in 2024 that the coaching staff equated short passes to Achane as substitutions for running plays, and that's why he caught a career-high 78 passes and turned them into 592 yards and six receiving touchdowns, which brought his 2024 total to 12. This year, Miami upgraded their guard spots by signing James Daniels as a free agent and drafting Jonah Savaiinaea in the second round. For fantasy investors, there will be no discounts. Achane, who finished as RB6 last year, is going as RB7 with the 18th pick overall in early best balls. |
49ers | Monster extension for Brock Purdy Sat May 17, 12:07 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy agreed to terms on a five-year contract extension with the 49ers Friday, May 16, worth $265 million. The deal includes $181 million in guaranteed money, and Purdy will receive $165.05 million in the first three years of the extension.
| Footballguys view: For Purdy, "Mr. Irrelevant" as the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the new contract will go down as one of the biggest raises in NFL history. Under the terms of his rookie deal, he was set to count just $5.365 million against the cap in 2025. The new deal should come as no surprise. Since he took over as the starter for an injured Garoppolo in Week 13 of 2022, including playoffs, the Niners are 27-15 in games Purday started. In that time, he ranks third in the NFL in passing yards (9,452), first in yards per attempt (8.9) and seventh in touchdown passes (64). In 2024, playing missing key members of his supporting cast, including Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, knee), Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Trent Williams (ankle), tight end George Kittle (hamstring), and receiver Deebo Samuel (calf, illness, ribs) for varying amounts of time, Purdy finished as fantasy's QB13. He sits at QB14 on the 2025 Footballguys Projections. Investors could do worse for their QB2 this year. |

Packers | Assistant praises Dontayvion Wicks' development Fri May 16, 02:46 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks has 'matured so much' over the last few months, according to passing game coordinator Jason Vrable.'I think early in (2024), he wanted the results so bad. He wanted to catch the ball and score. He was getting open, and then he would have a bad drop and everybody would be so upset over him and he'd be down on himself. I think he really learned to just handle one play at a time. It just happens to some guys. ... I think he's matured so much. And you saw at the end of the year when the ball was coming his way there was a real confidence toward the end to get open and make the play. And just do one play at a time. If you watched our practices, the speed that he's playing at, (offensive coordinator Luke) Getsy just came back here and was like, 'Man, this guy is so fast. And he's practicing so hard.' And you can see it. He's in Year 3, and he knows the system, he's playing with confidence and the energy's been awesome right now,' Vrable told the team's website earlier this week.
| Footballguys view: We'll see what Wicks can do this season. The physical talent is there, but the Packers added another receiver in first-round pick Matthew Golden. When Christian Watson is healthy, the targets for Wicks will be even more limited. If you believe in the 2023 fifth-round pick, Wicks is cheap to pick up in dynasty formats. |

Steelers | Pittsburgh checked on Chris Olave's availability Fri May 16, 02:12 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave appears unlikely to be traded this offseason, but the Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly have made their interest known to the Saints in recent days, according to a source. Per Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com, the Saints do not seem interested in trading Olave.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers are just checking in here. With their trade of George Pickens to the Cowboys earlier this month, they have DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson, and Calvin Austin as their top three wide receivers. The Saints have picked up the fifth-year option of Olave, and there might be a contract extension with him in the future. |

Saints | Two teams inquired about Derek Carr before retirement? Fri May 16, 01:21 PM
Retired New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr was reportedly receiving some interest from at least two teams around the start of free agency in March, more than a month before he announced his retirement due to a shoulder issue.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Carr didn't seem to be on good terms with new Saints HC Kellen Moore, and some out there are questioning if his retirement is all health related. Could he return in 2026? Some think that's unlikely, but things change quickly in this league. If Carr wants to play in the future after taking a break in 2025, a few teams would have interest again. |

Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. signs rookie deal Fri May 16, 09:50 AM
Cleveland Browns third-round pick TE Harold Fannin Jr. signed his four-year, $6.7 million deal Friday, May 16. Fannin set FBS single-season records for receptions (117) and receiving yards (1,555) by a TE at Bowling Green last season.
| Footballguys view: Fannin was a great player in college at Bowling Green, and he showed flashes against great college competition at the Senior Bowl. David Njoku is entrenched as the starter for the 2025 season, but Fannin could be an eventual starter - and star - for the Browns. We like the way he uses his body to box out smaller defenders, and he can turn to run quickly after the catch. |
Jets | Mason Taylor to play early? Fri May 16, 02:54 AM
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor is a 'pro-ready fix' for the Jets' needs at the tight end position, according to Field Yates of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Taylor was one of the most intriguing tight ends in this draft class. He's got an athletic profile that could make him a mismatch no matter if a linebacker or safety is tasked with covering him. Taylor sits atop the depth chart for the Jets with veteran Jeremy Ruckert as the no.2 for the Jets. It would be wise if QB Justin Fields got Taylor the ball early and often. |
Giants | Redshirt year for Jaxson Dart? Fri May 16, 02:00 AM
New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart will likely sit the entire 2025 season 'if all goes well,' according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Giants have an interesting quarterback situation, and they have a head coach (Brian Daboll) and general manager (Joe Schoen) who are likely on the hot seat. The team moved back into the first round to select Dart, and he's clearly seen as the quarterback of the future - we just don't know if the coach and the GM will be around for that future. The Giants could roll with Russell Wilson as the starter with Jameis Winston as the primary backup. |
Ravens | Derrick Henry the king of yards after contact in 2024 Fri May 16, 12:53 AM
Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry ran for a league-high 909 yards after contact during the 2024 regular season, according to Pro Football Reference.
| Footballguys view: Henry is pretty much a Mack truck between the tackles...or anywhere on the field. When he builds a head of steam, Henry is extremely difficult to bring down. With a new contract extension signed this week, Henry is set to lead the way on the ground for the Ravens again. We should see Henry get around 300 carries again this year after a monster 2024 with 325 carries, 1.921 yards, and 16 rushing touchdowns. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes took too much abuse in 2024 Fri May 16, 12:25 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes absorbed a league-high 70 hits during the 2024 regular season, according to Pro Football Reference.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs need to do a much better job of protecting the superstar quarterback. Mahomes said he wants to â€"try to get back to some of the explosive passing plays that we've done in years past.†In order to do that, Mahomes needs time to throw on those downfield plays. They did select Ohio State OT Josh Simmons at the end of the first round, and he could be part of the solution the Chiefs need up front. |

Bears | Caleb Williams initially unenthused about Chicago Thu May 15, 01:44 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams - and specifically his father, Carl - went to 'great lengths' to circumvent the 2024 NFL Draft for several reasons, including their initial impression of the team and its history with quarterbacks, according to details in a forthcoming book from ESPN's Seth Wickersham. The father and son even considered attacking the organization and the city of Chicago in hopes they could make the situation untenable for the franchise, much like Jack and John Elway did with the Baltimore Colts in 1983. Ultimately, Caleb Williams' decision to potentially 'nuke the city' fell by the wayside following a predraft visit, after which he believed he could be part of a process to turn the franchise around.
| Footballguys view: The Bears let Williams down last year, and that's why the coaching staff was changed. Coming over from the high-powered Lions, new head coach Ben Johnson should be able to craft a dynamic scheme around Williams and what he does best. Chicago had a Pope named before they had a 4,000 yard passer. Perhaps this year, Williams can be the first to surpass that mark. |
Chargers | Ladd McConkey explosive from the slot Thu May 15, 01:56 AM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey's 15 receptions of 20-plus yards ranked third among rookies and 18th in the NFL while having the third-lowest rate of vertical routes run last season.
| Footballguys view: McConkey can take short passes and turn them into long gains. He changes direction quickly, and quickly became a favorite target of QB Justin Herbert. In the Wild Card loss to the Texans, McConkey set an NFL record with 197 yards (the most by a rookie in league history). In PPR formats, McConkey is a set-it-and-forget-it starter as a WR2. |
Broncos | Devaughn Vele efficient as a rookie Thu May 15, 01:35 AM
Denver Broncos WR Devaughn Vele had 52% of his targets go for first downs or touchdowns as a rookie last season, which was fourth in the NFL, per ESPN's Ben Solak. Following the selection of WR Pat Bryant in the third round, however, Solak believes that Vele will be competing with the rookie for the slot role in 2025.
| Footballguys view: Vele reminded many in Broncos Country of a young Tim Patrick, and he played well as a rookie in 2024. He was a key cog for the passing game as Bo Nix went through his rookie season. This year in training camp, Vele is going to have to compete with Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin to establish a pecking order behind Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims. |
Colts | Adonai Mitchell stuck in tertiary role? Thu May 15, 01:03 AM
Indianapolis Colts WR Adonai Mitchell was primarily targeted on deep balls, finishing second in the NFL to New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed in average air yards per route run, and 40% of his targets came against man coverage. That's unlikely to change, in the opinion of ESPN's Ben Solak, who notes that Mitchell will 'probably' remain 'stuck' behind WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs, as well as rookie TE Tyler Warren in terms of targets.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was a second-round pick for the Colts coming out of Texas in 2024. He's got a great size/speed combination, but the team doesn't have a refined passing attack and he's further down the pecking order - and primarily used as a deep target. Mitchell started six games as a rookie, catching 20 passes for 254 yards and zero touchdowns. Fantasy GMs will see him as only a 'what the heck' flex in deeper leagues unless injuries strike ahead of him on the depth chart. |
Bears | Chemistry concerns for Rome Odunze? Thu May 15, 12:34 AM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze ranked sixth in the NFL in unrealized yards -- defined as air yards the player got via target but failed to convert into receiving yards -- in 2024, and ESPN's Ben Solak opines that he's 'more than a little worried about the severe lack of chemistry between [QB Caleb] Williams and Odunze.' Solak also adds that if Odunze isn't sharp running new head Ben Johnson's offense there are 'plenty' of options that could 'jump him on the depth chart.'
| Footballguys view: Earlier this year, Bears assistant head coach Antwaan Randle El said the Bears can â€"get [Odunze] the ball in a lot of different ways.†New head coach Ben Johnson should be creative in the design of his offense when it comes to getting Odunze opportunities to make plays. |

Eagles | Philly to go with two TEs on roster? Wed May 14, 05:31 PM
Philadelphia Eagles TEs Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra are locks to make the 53-man roster, but the team may decide to only keep two on the roster and elevate a tight end from the practice squad when needed, in the opinion of NBC Philadelphia's Reuben Frank.
| Footballguys view: It would be an interesting move, considering Goedert's injury history. But as Frank notes, Goedert has never missed a playoff game. He's gotten banged up, but he always comes back. He's never suffered a season-ending injury, and he's always been just as productive when he's come back as before he got hurt. In addition, Goedert has played the 24th-most games by a tight end since 2019, but he's got the fifth-most games with 50 or more yards. He's had 50 or more yards in 44 percent of his games during those six years, and only Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Mark Andrews, T.J. Hockenson, and Darren Waller have reached 50 yards more frequently among tight ends who've played at least 50 games since 2019. That shows how dangerous Goedert is when he can make it onto the field. Goedert is being drafted as TE17 in early best balls. |

Packers | No limitations for Josh Jacobs Wed May 14, 03:00 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs is looking better than he did at this time last year and will not have any limitations during offseason workouts, according to running backs coach Ben Sirmans.
| Footballguys view: As CheeseheadTV.com suggested, Packers GM Brian Gutekunst took a gamble replacing longtime locker room leader and fan favorite Aaron Jones with Jacobs, but it paid off. In his first season with Green Bay, Jacobs finished sixth in the league with 1,329 YDs rushing on 301 attempts. He averaged 4.4 YDs per carry and totaled 15 rushing TDs, third among running backs. He was reliable, playing in all 17 games and caught 43 passes for 342 yards, scoring his first career receiving touchdown in week 7. His average of 9.5 yards per catch was second among the top 25 running backs in catches. But make no mistake, handing the ball to Jacobs is a winning formula, and we'll see it again this season. Jacobs is RB10 on the initial Footballguys 2025 Projections. That aligns directly with his current RB10 Average Draft Position in early Underdog best-ball drafts. Fantasy managers who invest in anticipated workload will find this price appealing. |

| Footballguys view: Hill had surgery in February to repair an injury he played through during the 2024 season. He had a second procedure earlier this month to remove screws from the wrist, a procedure that was part of his initial treatment plan. Word at the time of the initial surgery was that Hill would be ready to go for training camp, and there's no sign that anything has changed on that front.

Ravens | Derrick Henry agrees to extension Wed May 14, 01:46 PM
Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension with the Ravens Wednesday, May 14, worth $30 million. Henry is guaranteed to receive $25 million over the next two seasons.
| Footballguys view: It is the largest deal in NFL history for a running back over 30 years old. Henry is 31 years old and coming off a phenomenal first season in Baltimore, having compiled 1,921 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on a career-high 5.9 yards per carry across 17 regular-season games. He added 193 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 19 catches. He became the first player in NFL history with multiple seasons of 1,900-plus rush yards. Henry, who signed a two-year contract with the Ravens last year, had been set to become a free agent after this season before agreeing to this new extension. Fantasy investors were already all in on Henry, who is going as RB6 in early best-ball drafts. He's RB7 on the initial Footballguys 2025 Draft Projections. |

Sam Darnold's deal is basically year-to-year after 2025, and if you think Darnold bombs outside of Minnesota, then Milroe's immense fantasy upside could be unlocked.

NFL | Could Derek Carr unretire in 2026? Wed May 14, 09:00 AM
Retired QB Derek Carr (Saints) is 'extremely unlikely' to unretire in 2026, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, who cited 'sources with knowledge of the situation.' Carr is already making other professional plans, though it's entirely possible he could change his mind once fully healthy.
| Footballguys view: While Carr eventually will land on the Saints' reserve/retired list, an unretirement in 2026 would likely trigger an immediate release of his rights, given that his 2025 salary of $30 million would immediately hit the cap. At most, the Saints would finagle a late-round pick from a team interested in signing him. And if he eventually has a change of heart, Given that the shelf life for quarterbacks has extended deep into the 30s and, for some, beyond their 40th birthdays, the 34-year-old Carr could still play if/when his shoulder is healed. So, even if it's unlikely for now, we may revisit this story down the road. |

Can play a little bit of slot. Move him into the backfield. Obviously, he had 1,000 yards over the last two years, and then he can catch the ball out of the back field. Good in the screen game. Competitor, man,' Coen told SI.com.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars made two additions to their running back room in the 2025 NFL Draft, taking Bhayshul Tuten at the top of the fourth round and doubling up with Allen. While it is clear what Tuten offers in terms of game-breaking speed with his 4.32 40-yard dash, Allen brings something entirely his own to the table: his impact in the passing game. He was not just productive on screens and check-downs, either. He frequently lined up at wide receiver for Syracuse, proving his versatility as a weapon. Allen is one of only two players nationally with 1,000-plus rushing yards (1,021) and 500 receiving yards (521) in the 2024 season. Still, as a seventh-round pick, Allen has much to prove in a backfield with Tuten and veteran holdovers Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby. |
Broncos | Caleb Lohner a possible red-zone factor in 2025 Wed May 14, 01:38 AM
Denver Broncos TE Caleb Lohner, the team's seventh-round draft choice, might 'provide early value' in the red zone, in the opinion of ESPN's Jeff Legwold, who notes the former college basketball player that played just 57 snaps of collegiate football has drawn comparisons internally to retired tight end Jimmy Graham, who rose to prominence under current Broncos head coach Sean Payton. All four of Lohner's receptions at Utah went for touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: Lohner was the final pick of the Broncos' seven-player NFL draft class last month, a seventh-round selection (No. 241 overall). Lohner played only one season of college football. He had not played the sport since middle school before his 57 total snaps for Utah last season. He had four catches for Utah on nine targets in 2024, albeit with all four receptions resulting in touchdowns. While a red-zone role in a Payton offense is appealing, Lohner has a long way to go before he rises to fantasy relevance. |
