Steelers | Jaylen Warren open to bigger role Wed Jun 4, 02:01 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren said he is ready to take on a large role in the offense but does not expected his role to significantly increase since RBs Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell are on the roster.
| Footballguys view: Warren still projects as the lead running back, but sharing with Johnson and Gainwell is baked into Warren's RB27 Footballguys Projection. But even at that, Johnson's RB33 spot and lower average draft position makes him appealing. Both are reasonably priced depth options at the position. |

Browns | Kenny Pickett first QB Wednesday Wed Jun 4, 01:32 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Kenny Pickett received the first snaps with the starting offense during team drills Wednesday, June 4.
| Footballguys view: The Browns brought back 2023 hero Joe Flacco and drafted two young quarterbacks, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. However, Pickett was the first man up as the team took the field. Still, as USA Today suggests, it's far too early to give any of this credence. Training camp does not even start for another month and a half. That said, the Athletic's Zac Jackson recently advised readers there's "almost no scenario" in which either rookie would win the starting job in the offseason. The early expectation is Joe Flacco will open the season as the starter. |

Packers | Romeo Doubs impressing coaches Wed Jun 4, 12:59 AM
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs looks like a 'specimen,' per head coach Matt LaFleur, who says there is 'a difference in his physique.' Doubs, who has been the subject of some trade speculation, 'remains an essential part of the Packers offense,' in the opinion of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Ryan Wood.
| Footballguys view: Doubs exited the team's Jan. 12 playoff loss to the Eagles with his second concussion in less than two months. According to Wood, Doubs declined to answer a question about what doctors have told him regarding the potential for more concussions in the future. He also declined to answer when doctors cleared him to begin working out again, though he has had seemingly no limitations during the offseason program. At this point, Doubs, at WR69, is third among the Green Bay wideouts on the Footbalguys Projections, behind Matthew Golden (WR43) and Jayden Reed (WR46). |
Packers | Jordan Love feeling healthy again Wed Jun 4, 12:18 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love rested for several weeks following the team's elimination from the playoffs to heal from knee, groin, and elbow injuries suffered during the 2024 season, pausing both working out and throwing the ball. He's feeling 'good' now and has been a full participant in the team's organized team activities.
| Footballguys view: For what it's worth, Love looked sharp in this week's OTA sessions. He completed six of seven pass attempts for 75 yards and a touchdown during Tuesday's two-minute drill. He threw a 30-yard touchdown to Jayden Reed before completing a two-point conversion to Romeo Doubs for the "win." Because defenses tend to dominate in early practices as the offense works on timing and execution, Tuesday's effort was viewed as a positive sign for the offense. Still, Green Bay is a run-heavy offense, and Love doesn't have much rushing equity. He opens up as QB18 on the Footballguys Projections. |

Cowboys | CeeDee Lamb sidelined Tuesday Wed Jun 4, 12:04 AM
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) did not participate in the team's OTA session Tuesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: This seems like a non-issue, and a source told Athlon, there were "no red flags." The consensus WR1 heading into 2024, Lamb's numbers dipped noticeably when Dak Prescott was lost to a hamstring injury. Add in a shoulder injury of his own, and it helps explain how Lamb went from averaging an NFL-best 23.8 fantasy points per game in 2023 to 17.6 points per game this past season. Still, Lamb is the fourth player off the board in early drafts going as the WR3. |

Bears | Luther Burden remains sidelined Wed Jun 4, 12:03 AM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (undisclosed) did not participate at the team's mandatory minicamp, according to sources Tuesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Burden, who suffered an injury to his midsection in a May 10 practice, is missing critical opportunities to build chemistry with quarterback Caleb Williams during OTAs. The hope is Burden can return during minicamp or the second phase of OTAs next week. If not, training camp in July will be the next time fans will look to see if these guys step on the practice field. |
Panthers | Tommy Tremble could return during preseason Wed Jun 4, 12:02 AM
Carolina Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (back) could return before the end of the preseason, head coach Dave Canales told reporters Tuesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Tremble had back surgery recently early last month. Tremble, who signed a new two-year deal with the Panthers ahead of free agency in March, joined the team as a 2021 third-round pick. He has 85 catches for 782 yards and nine touchdowns in 61 career games. Ja'Tavion Sanders, at TE32 on the Footballguys Projections, is the most fantasy-relevant Panthers tight end. |

Steelers | Donald Parham suffers torn Achilles Wed Jun 4, 12:01 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Donald Parham Jr. (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles during practice, according to sources Tuesday, June 3. He is expected to miss the entire 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: After four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, Parham spent 2024 on the Broncos' practice squad and last played in 2023. With Parham set to miss the season, thhe Steelers have three other tight ends on the roster -- Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, and J.J. Galbreath. Parham's injury might explain the report that Pittsburgh and Miami have resumed discussing a possible trade that would send Jonnu Smith to the Steelers. |

Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) told reporters on Tuesday, June 3, that his knee feels great and he is not being limited during spring practices.
| Footballguys view: In case you missed it, Flowers posted a video on social media last month that showed him catching passes from QB Lamar Jackson. Adding to the positive vibes, head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the knee injury Flowers suffered last season did not require surgery. He will be the team's no.1 wide receiver again. Flowers is coming off back-to-back 100-target seasons (and his first 1,000-yard season in 2024). He's WR21 on the Footballguys 2025 Draft Projections. |

Falcons | Kyle Pitts injury update Tue Jun 3, 02:40 PM
Updating previous reports, Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (foot) is not practicing during organized team activities this spring due to a strained muscle in his foot, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Nothing new here. Instead, we get further confirmation of what's been widely reported for more than a week now. Ensuring Pitts is healthy heading into the season is important for the team for a player heading into a make-or-break season. Remember, Pitts finished the 2024 season as TE15, but he was TE23 on a points-per-game basis (with 7.7 points a week). He's being drafted in that same range in early best balls, so gambling on a rebound isn't cost-prohibitive. |

Texans | Houston being cautious with C.J. Stroud Tue Jun 3, 02:17 PM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (shoulder) has taken limited reps during the team's offseason practices, but head coach DeMeco Ryans noted on Tuesday, June 3, that Stroud is just experiencing 'general soreness' in his shoulder and the team is taking 'extra precaution' with him.
| Footballguys view: Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, a well-connected Houston beat writer, recently confirmed the issue was a tight pectoral muscle that is considered "relatively minor." Meanwhile, we'll remind you that few quarterbacks fell further from meeting expectations than Stroud, who was drafted as QB6 last summer before finishing the regular season as QB18. This year, Stroud is going as QB16 in Round 10 in early best ball drafts. That's a bit off his QB20 Footballguys Projection, but it's a reasonable price for bargain hunters willing to bet minimal draft capital on a QB2 who delivered QB1 numbers just two years ago. |

Titans | Cam Ward progressing Tue Jun 3, 11:51 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward has progressed already in camp, according to head coach Brian Callahan, who said he's pleased with Ward's progress. Ward has progressed in understanding throws he made in college won't necessarily be available to make in the NFL, and Callahan said he's picking up the mental part quickly.
| Footballguys view: This isn't a surprise after a report by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday indicated coaches have been impressed with Ward's work ethic. Fowler added that while Ward has been sharing snaps with QB Will Levis, the rookie will start receiving more work with the first-team offense in advance of training camp. While there's something to be said for players with locked-in roles, Ward, who opens as QB26 on the Footballguys redraft projections, has much to prove at a position with loads of quality depth. |
Steelers | PIT asked about Jonnu Smith Tue Jun 3, 10:28 AM
Miami Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith was the subject of conversations with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they're not expected to trade for him.
| Footballguys view: Smith, who was not present for Miami's voluntary OTA practices last week, expressed interest in the team reworking the two-year deal he signed last offseason. But Drew Rosenhaus, Smith's agent, said Sunday night that his client's "first choice" is to remain with the Dolphins after he set a franchise record for receptions (88) and receiving yards (884) by a tight end last season. Smith led all Dolphins players in receptions and finished behind only Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and George Kittle leaguewide in receiving yards by a tight end. Smith is going as TE7 in early best-ball drafts. |

Steelers | Gabe Davis to visit Steelers Tue Jun 3, 10:25 AM

He caught 20 passes for 239 yards with a pair of touchdowns before suffering a torn meniscus and missing the rest of the year. The Jags released Davis last month. This will be Davis' third reported visit with a team since he became a free agent earlier this offseason. Davis has also visited with San Francisco and the New York Giants. |

Vikings | Jordan Mason was in elite company in 2024 Tue Jun 3, 12:45 AM
Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason finished third in the NFL behind only Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry and Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley in a Next Gen Stats metric designed to 'assess the degree to which running backs generate more yards than expected,' per The Athletic's Alec Lewis.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings traded for Mason, who ran for 100 yards on 20 carries against them in Minnesota last season, in March. They made the deal a week after signing Aaron Jones to a lucrative, two-year $20 million extension with $13 million guaranteed. While it's safe to assume the Vikings still see Jones as their lead back after a strong 2024 season, fantasy drafters in early best balls don't see much of a gap between the two. Jones is being drafted as RB28 in Round 7; Mason is going as RB32 in Round 9. |
Ravens | Keaton Mitchell feeling good Mon Jun 2, 08:47 PM
Baltimore Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell said his knee is feeling as good as it did before he suffered his torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell, who averaged 8.4 yards per carry on 47 runs in his rookie year, has been impressive in early workouts. With Derrick Henry leading the way and Justice Hill coming off a career year, there aren't too many more offensive snaps for other running backs in Baltimore. But Mitchell has proven he doesn't need too many snaps to make a significant impact with his big-play ability. He could have an immediate impact in the return game, as he averaged 31.2 yards on his five returns last season. |

Titans | Cam Ward to see more work with starters Mon Jun 2, 07:41 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward has been sharing snaps with QB Will Levis but will start receiving more work with the first-team offense as the offseason practices go on, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: "The Titans coaches have been really impressed with his work ethic so far." Fowler said of Ward, "They knew he was a hard worker coming in, but I was told they had to kick him out of the offices at times." It makes sense. As USA Today suggested, "Ward didn't go from zero-star recruit to the first overall pick in the NFL draft by resting on his laurels." It's encouraging. But it doesn't change the fact that Ward's fantasy value is limited in redraft formats. |
Patriots | Stefon Diggs staying with team Mon Jun 2, 07:15 PM
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs is not in danger of being released this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Former Patriots quarterback Scott Zolak, now a member of the local media, said last week that Diggs' release was "on the table." NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting the Patriots have no plans to release the veteran wideout. Welcome to the NFL news cycle in June. The uncertainty began last week when a viral video showed Diggs providing a baggie of pink powder to women on a boat. On Monday, Diggs was present for the Patriots' organized team activities, working on a limited basis. Stay tuned. We're sure to hear more on Diggs before all is said and done. |

Jets | Mason Taylor in line to start? Mon Jun 2, 07:08 PM
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor seems to be the leading candidate for the tight end job entering training camp, in the opinion of JetsWire's Craig Moffett.
| Footballguys view: Taylor opening the season as the starter would not be a massive suprise. Veteran Jeremy Ruckert has been disappointing, although he hasn't gotten many opportunities to shine as a receiving threat. Stone Smartt is an interesting dart throw and could push Ruckert for the backup spot behind Taylor, who will be a capable security blanket for Justin Fields in the passing game. |

Dolphins | Jonnu Smith wants to stay with Miami Mon Jun 2, 06:15 PM
Miami Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith would prefer to remain with the Dolphins, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus. Smith is looking for a pay raise after a productive 2024 season.
| Footballguys view: Smith generated 88 catches for 884 yards with eight touchdowns in his first season in Mike McDaniel's system, finishing first on the team in catches and touchdown grabs and second in receiving yards. As NFL.com suggests, the Dolphins surely don't want to lose a key playmaker in the offense, particularly at a position with no proven backup on board. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Jets | Braelon Allen to be more involved in 2025? Mon Jun 2, 03:18 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen could have a 'pretty significant' role in the offense this season, according to SI.com's Albert Breer.
| Footballguys view: Breece Hall heads into training camp as the clear-cut RB1. But after a breakout 2023 season, Hall's numbers started to decline in 2024, and head coach Aaron Glenn made it clear that Allen and Isaiah Davis will be factors this year. Glenn and OC Tanner Engstrand come from a Detroit team that found plenty of opportunities for two running backs to succeed (Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery). The team is also transitioning to quarterback Justin Fields under center, which adds another threat to the running game that will take defensive attention away from Allen. |

Browns | Dillon Gabriel failing to impress? Mon Jun 2, 02:22 PM
Cleveland Browns third-round draft choice QB Dillon Gabriel 'does not look like an NFL quarterback,' according to The Athletic's Zac Jackson.'Dillon Gabriel does not look like an NFL quarterback to me. Like zero percent. ... I just don't think any other team was taking him in the top-100 or even the top-150. If I am wrong and the Cleveland Browns have their quarterback, that would be great. One of these years, I would love to cover a normal franchise and a rookie quarterback that sticks around for more than 6-to-18 months. But if it's Dillon Gabriel, I will be beyond shocked,' Jackson told Zach Gelb of the Infinity Sports Network.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Alfredo Brown wrote in the Footballguys Rookie Draft Guide 3.0, "Gabriel landing at the tail end of Day 2 was one of the biggest surprises of the draft." Brown added it's even more shocking considering the selection of Shedeur Sanders less than 50 picks later. At this point, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett are the early favorites to win the Week 1 starting job. |
Jaguars | Jacksonville not looking to move on from Travis Etienne Mon Jun 2, 01:40 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne 'has done everything we have asked him to do and more,' according to head coach Liam Coen on Monday, June 2.

The Jaguars also have Tank Bigsby back along with fourth-rounder Bhayshul Tuten and seventh-rounder LeQuint Allen. Etienne, projected to finish as RB35, is our top fantasy prospect in this backfield. |

Falcons | Kyle Pitts sitting out with a minor injury Mon Jun 2, 01:22 PM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (foot) has been at every offseason meeting but has not participated during organized team activities due to a foot injury, according to head coach Raheem Morris.'Extremely cautious with Kyle right now and what he's got going on. Obviously, don't talk about injuries this time of year, but (we are) definitely being cautious with him, so you won't see him. He's been here, he's done such a great job. ... He's been in every single thing that we've done other than the field, and he's been absolutely outstanding to be around,' Morris said.
| Footballguys view: Pitts, who had 47 receptions for 602 yards with four touchdown catches last season, has been unable to come close to his rookie numbers in 2021 when he had 68 catches for 1,026 yards and a touchdown grab. Since then, though, he has struggled with leg injuries and inconsistency. The Falcons picked up Pitts' fifth-year rookie contract option last offseason, so 2025 will be pivotal in determining what he's able to garner in free agency, either in Atlanta or elsewhere. |

Patriots | Stefon Diggs in the building Mon Jun 2, 11:04 AM
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) reported to organized team activities Monday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: Diggs' off-field drama has drawn headlines in recent days. Most recently, local observer Scott Zolak suggested Diggs is in danger of being released. So, with all the noise, it's great that Diggs reported for voluntary sessions. It's also great that Diggs, who has finished as a WR2 or better (including five WR1 finishes) every season from 2017 through 2023, is currently being drafted as WR45 in Round 7. Even if he opens the season at less-than-full speed, coming off a torn ACL suffered last October, he could be very productive in this offense once he hits stride. |

Titans | Tyrion Davis-Price signs with Titans Mon Jun 2, 11:01 AM
Free-agent RB Tyrion Davis-Price (Eagles) signed a two-year deal with the Tennessee Titans Monday, June 2. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: While this signing seems inconsequential on the surface, it comes shortly after head coach Brian Callahan talked about using more of an "even split" with Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, and a third back in 2025. Veteran Julius Chestnut and rookie Kalel Mullings, a sixth-round pick in last month's NFL Draft, are also on the roster. Davis-Price, a 2022 third-round pick by the 49ers, will join the competition to be that third back. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers hasn't committed to PIT Mon Jun 2, 10:37 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) hasn't committed to the Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero said on The Rich Eisen Show. 'I have been told that he has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he's coming. Certainly, all indications -- if you just look at it logically -- are that he's coming, based on his comments about, 'Hey, there's a team that plays in Chicago I might play for; I'm not playing in New Orleans,'' Pelissero remarked. 'He took one visit [with the Steelers]. He's been throwing with DK Metcalf. He talks all the time with Mike Tomlin. I know he's talked with Arthur Smith. So, there are all these signs that he's coming, but he has not affirmatively said, 'Hey, June 9 -- book me a ticket, I'm coming in and I'm going to join this team.''
| Footballguys view: Late last month, Steelers owner Art Rooney II said the team would wait "a little while longer." Pittsburgh's OTAs run through June 5. A three-day mandatory minicamp on June 10 follows that and ends the team's offseason sessions. So, Rooney and the Steelers can't wait much longer if they want to see Rodgers work with the team ahead of training camp. Rodgers being the team's quarterback this fall is still the most likely outcome. But the window for resolution is closing. Without Rodgers, the quarterbacks will be Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and rookie Will Howard. |
