Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley reports that Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten “certainly looked like he was picking up steam” at organized team activities.

08 June 2026

Fellow Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez (undisclosed) has not been present at any of the open OTA sessions thus far due to an apparent injury. We do not know if he will participate at mandatory minicamp this week. While Rodriguez rehabs whatever is ailing him, Tuten is earning praise. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said he likes the way Tuten is running, compared to this time a year ago, and added that Tuten “looks like he is more in tune with the scheme now than as a rookie.” Shipley believes that ...

The Charlotte Observer’s Mike Kaye believes the Panthers will “test” RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) “pretty regularly in training camp.”

07 June 2026

If things go well for Brooks this summer, Kaye believes Brooks “will probably be used similarly to Rico Dowdle in the first two weeks of last season.” Dowdle played on 29.9 percent of the backfield snaps, totaling nine carries and four targets during that span. If Brooks “proves that he can stay durable and handle a consistent workload during the first month of the season,” the team could adjust the rotation after the Week 5 bye. Kaye opines that Brooks should not just be limited to pass ...

The Charlotte Observer’s Mike Kaye thinks the Panthers believe RB Chuba Hubbard “can still be a workhorse,” but he could lose touches as the season progresses.

07 June 2026

Kaye thinks Hubbard “will probably take the lion’s share of the touches out of the backfield early on.” Where his workload goes from there is likely dependent upon RB Jonathon Brooks’ (knee) health. The Panthers spent a second-round pick on Brooks in 2024. They would undoubtedly like to begin getting meaningful contributions from him this season. That said, Hubbard led the backfield in touches in 2023 and 2024, and has been a steady contributor for them. Hubbard may be a smarter pick in ...

The Miami Herald’s Omar Kelly believes Dolphins rookie WR Kevin Coleman Jr. should be the team’s starting slot receiver this season.

07 June 2026

Responding to readers on social media this week, Kelly said he believes Coleman is the Dolphins’ best rookie wide receiver, and linked to an article of his from May 8th. In the piece, Kelly argues that Coleman should be the team’s front-runner for the starting slot role. If Coleman can pull it off, he may only get on the field when the Dolphins are in three-wide receiver sets, so he may only end up being a WR5/matchup-based FLEX. Still, Coleman is worth keeping an eye on in training camp nex ...

Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy “pointed to pass blocking and receiving” when asked if there is anything that RB Kenneth Walker could get better at.

07 June 2026

Speaking to reporters after practice last week, Bieniemy said that he wants Walker to understand “that we just have to become a better player when the ball is not in our hand.” That means Walker has to do “a great job protecting the quarterback” and be a “great” route runner on the perimeter. Bieniemy complimented Walker’s abilities as a rusher and said Walker is “doing a heck of a job” in practice, but Walker’s ticket to an elite season likely requires passing game participa ...

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said that WR Chris Godwin looks “sharp” and “smooth” running routes at organized team activities.

07 June 2026

With former Buccaneers WR Mike Evans now a 49er, Godwin is the veteran leader in Tampa Bay’s wide receiver corps. Godwin was leading the NFL with 50 receptions when he fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle in 2024. It was a significant, season-ending injury that required an intense offseason rehab program, and his lower leg remained an issue for much of 2025. This year, however, Godwin’s offseason has been spent training, not recovering. According to Godwin, this understandably makes ...

The Denver Post’s Luca Evans believes Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle slots in “next to” RB J.K. Dobbins, OC Davis Webb and QB Bo Nix.

07 June 2026

Astute readers might notice that Evans did not put the Broncos’ long-time WR1, Courtland Sutton, on that list. The cost to acquire Waddle from the Dolphins was not cheap, so anointing Waddle as the WR1 makes sense. The former Dolphin spent his career in Miami playing sidekick to WR Tyreek Hill, so it was fair to wonder if he might be slated for a WR2 role in Denver as well. If anything, this could be a 1A/1B situation, with Waddle operating as the 1A. Regardless, Sutton appears unbothered by W ...

NBC Sports Houston’s Aaron Wilson believes Texans WR Jayden Higgins “could be poised for a breakout” season in 2026.

07 June 2026

Wilson began today’s report by recounting a successful fade route Higgins ran from the slot at organized team activities. Per Higgins, the Texans view him as a versatile receiver and plan to deploy him at multiple spots this year. Per PFF, Higgins ran 79.2 percent of his routes from the perimeter and 20.4 percent from the slot. If Higgins can secure the WR2 role and gain frequent slot usage from 11 personnel, that would go a long way toward reliable fantasy productivity. In addition to improvi ...

Broncos TE Caleb Lohner is expected to be sidelined until training camp after undergoing a lower-body clean-up procedure.

07 June 2026

Lohner did not play at all in his 2025 rookie season. He began his football career in 2024 at Utah, after playing basketball at BYU (2020-21) and Baylor (2023-24). He is unlikely to be on the fantasy football radar for the 2026 season.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas said “it doesn’t hurt to run” anymore after having “a lot of little things” cleaned up this offseason.

07 June 2026

Thomas’ phrasing suggests he underwent multiple clean-up procedures over the past few months, in an effort to get “as close to 100 percent as possible.” It also sounds like he played through quite a lot of pain last year. He dealt with wrist, shoulder and ankle injuries while adjusting to head coach Liam Coen’s new offense in 2025. Thomas is already drawing positive reviews at organized team activities. If he can sustain good health throughout training camp, he has a chance to deliver a ...

Buccaneers G Cody Mauch (knee) is participating in OTAs.

07 June 2026

He suffered a torn meniscus in Week 2 against the Texans. “Right away I’m just trying to get used to playing with a knee brace again, but I was talking to Ben today and it’s like, it already feels…you’re not thinking about the knee brace. It feels back to normal. It was a great day. I wasn’t worried about the knee one bit, so that’s good,” Mauch told reporters. We’re expecting Mauch to be ready to go for training camp based on this update.

Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said Kolton Miller (ankle) is ahead of schedule in his recovery.

07 June 2026

The Raiders haven’t really put out a timetable for Miller to be fully healthy, but we’re assuming he’ll probably be ready for training camp based on this update that he’s “nearing full strength” at OTAs. Miller only played the first four games of last season after suffering a high-ankle sprain and hairline fracture against the Bears in September.

Cardinals wideout Marvin Harrison said he’s “still trying to get back to 100%" after last season.

07 June 2026

“But, obviously, it’s definitely nothing that prevents me from anything at the moment. I go 100%. I’m still out there doing everything I normally would do, but yeah, it’s just like an ongoing process for sure,” Harrison added. He had two heel injuries, appendicitis, and a concussion while missing five games last year. There doesn’t seem to be any specific reason for concern here, but this is not the type of thing you normally see an NFL player admit, so it’s eye-catching.

The Athletic’s Zach Berman believes “it’s not a stretch to speculate” that Saquon Barkley could have a greater role as a pass catcher.

07 June 2026

Berman notes that Barkley had 136 targets in his final two seasons with the Giants compared to just 93 with the Eagles over the past two years, and adds that new OC Sean Mannion was teammates with Todd Gurley when Gurley averaged 84 targets in 2017 and 2018 with “a similar offensive scheme.” A.J. Brown’s absence will absolutely leave a target vacuum that Barkley could step into. If so, that would be a major boon for his fantasy prospects in 2026.

The Athletic’s James Boyd believes the Colts “could consider” signing EDGE Joey Bosa.

07 June 2026

The need is clearly there with second-round pick Jaylahn Tuimoloau, Micheal Clemons and Arden Key competing for the role next to Laiatu Latu at the moment. Boyd also mentions Cameron Jordan, Jadeveon Clowney and Leonard Floyd among others as possibilities. The veteran edge rusher and wideout markets are still unfolding ahead of training camp.

The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo believes second-round WR Germie Bernard “has a good shot” to work his way into the rotation at receiver in 2026.

07 June 2026

DeFabo calls Roman Wilson the WR3 “at this exact moment,” which isn’t exactly a qualifier that lends to us believing that Wilson will be there at the end of training camp after his first few lost seasons. Bernard “has a really high floor” per DeFabo’s looks at OTAs and we wouldn’t be surprised if he had a role in his first season. It’s hard to see how it would be more than mildly fantasy interesting behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman, but perhaps Bernard can establish himself ...

Bengals TE Erick All (knee) is practicing, but said he isn’t “fully cleared yet.”

07 June 2026

All missed the end of the 2024 and the entire 2025 season with a pair of knee surgeries, one to clear out damage done from a surgery at Iowa, and another to repair a torn ACL. He enters the third year of his rookie contract as a deep, deep sleeper in fantasy leagues behind Mike Gesicki, but All did look pretty good in 2024 while healthy. He should at least give the Bengals some usable multi-TE set snaps if necessary.

Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte said he’ll report to mandatory minicamp this week.

07 June 2026

Boutte wouldn’t seem to have a real role with the Patriots after they acquired A.J. Brown on June 1 — one could argue the most surprising thing about that deal going down is the fact that Boutte wasn’t involved in it. Boutte is reportedly available in a trade, and ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported last week that the Patriots have received interest. It’s in Boutte’s financial best interests to show up.

Nathan Peterman has retired after six seasons in the NFL.

07 June 2026

Peterman only started five games, but managed an incredible 13 interceptions in 160 career attempts while becoming synonymous with horrific quarterback play. He appeared in games with the Bills, Raiders, and Bears from 2017-2023, and will reportedly become an agent for Range Sports.

Free agent CB L’Jarius Sneed visited with the Chiefs on Thursday.

07 June 2026

Clearly there was no rush to add him to the roster. It’s the first sniff of NFL interest we’ve seen for the former star cornerback since he was released by the Titans, and unsurprisingly it was with his former employers in Kansas City. We suspect this has a chance of happening at some point this offseason, but the 29-year-old Sneed is likely to sift through options ahead of training camp.
