ESPN’s Jordan Raanan said Darius Slayton has formed a “really quality connection” with Russell Wilson.

20 June 2025

Raanan notes that Malik Nabers has been sidelined, but Slayton’s “really solid” spring showing, coupled with Jalin Hyatt’s minor leg injury, bodes positively for Slayton’s grip on the No. 2 perimeter role. If Hyatt can get healthy and improve his play, he could challenge Slayton in-season, but for now, it appears as though the Giants’ steady 28-year-old field-stretcher will continue doing his thing. He can be treated as a volatile, likely matchup-based flex option.

Saints waived RB Xazavian Valladay.

20 June 2025

The Saints also waived S Tra Fluellen and correspondingly signed CB Jayden Price, TE Seth Green and OT Barry Wesley. Cam Akers’ recent signing made Valladay obsolete, while also putting Kendre Miller, Devin Neal and Clyde Edwards-Helaire on notice.

Giants WR Jalin Hyatt suffered a “minor” leg injury during Tuesday’s mandatory minicamp practice.

20 June 2025

It’s an unfortunate development for a player who Raanan described as having made “plays downfield early in camp” and looking like a better, “more confident player.” Raanan also downplayed Hyatt’s purported 15-20-pound weight gain, though he did say Hyatt “did put on weight.” Hopefully, Hyatt can get healthy in time for the start of training camp next month.

Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the Rams and Chargers are among Jalen Ramsey’s preferred landing spots.

20 June 2025

Schefter said Ramsey “would like to go to the West Coast,” and specifically named Los Angeles as the ideal city. Schefter also believes a deal should happen before training camps begin in mid-July. Both the Rams and Chargers have more than $20 million available in salary cap space this year, which should make a new deal doable if Ramsey requests one post-trade, though he is under contract through 2028 on his current deal.

Christian Watson (knee) posted a video of himself running a route during a private workout.

20 June 2025

Watson notably tagged a physical therapist in the post, ostensibly suggesting he is running and cutting under supervision by a medical professional. In the video, Watson can be seen running up and out, cutting left and right before striding downfield. It is difficult to measure Watson’s speed and exertion, but this video is, of course, positive. Watson suffered a torn ACL in Week 18 (January 5th, 2025). His surgery date and expected return date remain unknown, however, players typically return ...

Giants OG Jon Runyan Jr. (ankle) underwent two offseason ankle surgeries.

20 June 2025

Runyan suffered a season-ending high-ankle sprain in Week 14. He reportedly underwent a tightrope procedure to stabilize the syndesmotic joint, as well as a ligament repair operation to fix the torn deltoid ligament in his inner ankle. Runyan also revealed that he played shoulder a separated shoulder last season. The Giants have handled Runyan’s recovery cautiously, but he was able to participate in team drills last week. If healthy this season, it stands to reason that Runyan could improve hi ...

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan said, after “listening” to his sources, the “feeling” is that the Giants are “just playing it super cautious” with Malik Nabers (toe).

20 June 2025

We now have two reliable beat reporters who have recently reported positively on Nabers’ toe, with Raanan encouragingly citing multiple sources. Raanan also notes that the Giants played things safely with multiple starters, many working through rehab programs this spring, including Dexter Lawrence (elbow), OT Andrew Thomas (foot), LB Bobby Okereke (back), OG Jon Runyan Jr. (ankle) and OG Greg Van Roten (veteran rest). Fantasy managers should feel good about drafting Nabers as a WR1 at this tim ...

Giants HC Brian Daboll said he is not concerned about Malik Nabers’ (toe) availability for training camp.

20 June 2025

A toe injury dating back to his days at LSU has limited Nabers throughout offseason activities. Despite this, The Athletic’s Dan Duggan notes that Nabers “typically came onto the field an hour into offseason practices” and would take reps during the team’s walkthrough periods. Earlier in the offseason, Daboll said the team was being “smart” with Nabers’ injury, which explains his limited activity. Given how he has performed in recent years despite this injury, it’s safe to assume ...

The Athletic’s Sadd Yousuf believes KaVontae Turpin “will be used more as a playmaker than a receiver” next season.

20 June 2025

According to Yousuf, Turpin has handled rush attempts out of the backfield this offseason and more quick routes near the line of scrimmage that allow him to operate more in space. One of the league’s most explosive players, Turpin posted career highs in receptions (31) and receiving yards (420) last season while also seeing a career-high 52 targets. Whether or not this role leads to more fantasy production is unknown at this time, but the team’s underwhelming backfield makes any reports of a ...

The Athletic’s Tashan Reed believes Raiders RB Raheem Mostert “will be the primary third-down back.”

20 June 2025

This goes against everything we believe about No. 6 overall pick Ashton Jeanty and his impending usage. Billed as a legitimate third-down back who racked up 80 receptions and 862 yards in three seasons at Boise State, Jeanty’s profile coupled with his high draft capital have led many to believe he would be the unquestioned bell-cow in the Raiders’ backfield. While that may still be the case, Reed suggests Mostert, 33, could see a reasonable amount of work on third down. Jeanty is 12 years yo ...

The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo says “it’s clear (Steelers) GM Omar Khan is doing his due diligence to explore all options” at upgrading WR.

20 June 2025


Andy Reid said he expects Travis Kelce’s snap counts will be “similar” to what they were in 2024, but he will “monitor Kelce’s playing time as training camp and the season progress and change the plan if necessary.”

20 June 2025

In the 2024 regular season, Kelce was on the field for the third-highest snap count (939) and ran the fourth-most routes (575) of his career, so this is good news for fantasy purposes. Reid acknowledged Kelce is “getting older” and that he is willing to “be the bad guy in some cases” by pulling Kelce off the field when he needs to. While Kelce is a long shot to finish as the overall TE1, he seemingly remains a safe bet to produce a top-12 positional finish.

Browns signed TE Sal Cannella.

20 June 2025

In each of the last two UFL seasons, Cannella has finished top six across all positions in targets, receptions and yards, most recently catching 44-of-57 targets for 470 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 1.61 yards per route run. The 28-year-old Cannella should not be expected to regularly score fantasy points this season. He was likely signed to provide reliable receiving depth behind David Njoku. Should Njoku miss time, Cannella could make for a viable streamer should he secure the No. 2 ti ...

Chiefs OT Josh Simmons (knee) is expected to be a full participant when training camp begins on July 21.

20 June 2025

The Chiefs’ 2025 first-round pick participated in offseason practices and minicamp, which are noncontact events. The offensive line is currently three-deep at offensive tackle, with free agent-signee OT Jaylon Moore penciled in at left tackle and incumbent OT Jawaan Taylor in place at right tackle. Simmons has a chance to supplant Taylor at some point this season and will hopefully become a fixture in front of Patrick Mahomes at some point. Simmons suffered a torn patellar tendon in the middle ...

Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Alex Darus reports that Shedeur Sanders’ Tuesday citation for 101 MPH occurred hours after Sanders failed to appear in court for another speeding ticket issued less than 2 weeks prior.

20 June 2025

This is not the type of update we were hoping for, and it will not help Sanders overcome the labels that got attached to him in the draft process. We don’t think getting two speeding tickets or not showing up in court disqualifies him from having an NFL career or becoming a starter at some point. (We’d say the same thing for being drafted in the fifth round.) But it certainly has not been an auspicious start.

C.J. Mosley retired from the NFL after 10 seasons.

20 June 2025

Originally drafted by the Ravens in 2014, Mosley made five career Pro Bowls and had 1,083 career combined tackles, 10 forced fumbles, 12 interceptions and 12 sacks over his 10-season career. Mosley joined the Jets in 2019 and was a team captain on defense. Mosley’s 2024 season was limited to just four games due to a neck injury, and he managed just 17 total tackles in the games he appeared in.

NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk reports that the Broncos are in talks with Colorado Governor Jared Polis about potentially purchasing the 58-acre Burnham Yard property.

20 June 2025

The state reportedly purchased Burnham Yard, a former rail yard, four years ago for $50 million. The Broncos are also “exploring other areas, including a 36-acre Denver Water campus located close to Burnham Yard.” Properties in Lone Tree and Aurora are also reportedly up for consideration.

The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo thinks the Steelers could call “lots of quick slants to DK Metcalf” to keep Aaron Rodgers “upright more often and take advantage of his quick release.”

20 June 2025

Both Rodgers and OC Arthur Smith are students of “Matt LaFleur’s Shanahan-style offense,” so the two should theoretically gel well, conceptually. Rodgers is well past his prime, however, and DeFabo believes Metcalf’s speed could help alleviate age-related concerns. Though Metcalf performed poorly on slant routes last year, he has generally performed very well on them throughout his career. On qualifying routes, he’s caught 75-of-109 targets for 844 yards and six touchdowns while averag ...

NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports Joe Mixon (ankle and foot) will be ready “at some point during training camp,” though participating on the first day remains possible.

20 June 2025

This is slightly new wording on Mixon’s injury. It was previously said that he should be “ready for training camp.” Wilson also adds that Mixon “aggravated” the “foot and ankle” injuries he dealt with last year. Only an ankle-related issue had been mentioned earlier this month and it was initially thought to be an isolated event, unrelated to past issues. As long as Mixon does indeed return during training camp, he should have ample time to ramp up for light work in preseason play ...

Andy Reid said he expects Travis Kelce’s snap counts will be “similar” to what it was last year, but he will “monitor Kelce’s playing time as training camp and the season progress and change the plan if necessary.”

19 June 2025

In the 2024 regular season, Kelce was on the field for the third-highest snap count (939) and ran the fourth-most routes (575) of his career, so this is good news for fantasy purposes. Reid acknowledged Kelce is “getting older” and that he is willing to “be the bad guy in some cases” by pulling Kelce off the field when he needs to. While Kelce is a longshot to finish as the overall TE1, he seemingly remains a safe bet to produce a top-12 positional finish. Monitoring his participation in ...
