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

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

23 June 2025

In a mailbag article where DeFabo was questioned about the current state of the Steelers’ receiver room, DeFabo didn’t shy away from suggesting there could be some validity to any “smoke” around a potential trade for a receiver. Behind DK Metcalf is a group of unproven playmakers in Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson, and Robert Woods will be 33 at the start of next season. DeFabo noted that Jets receiver Allen Lazard, a long-time teammate of Aaron Rodgers’ remains an “obvious target” ...

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

23 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 Sadd Yousuf believes KaVontae Turpin “will be used more as a playmaker than a receiver” next season.

23 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 ...

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

23 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 ...

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).

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

23 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 ...

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

23 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 ...

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

23 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.

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

23 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.

Saints waived RB Xazavian Valladay.

23 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.

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

23 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.

Raiders.com reporter Levi Edwards said WR Dont’e Thornton Jr. “has already become a top target” for Geno Smith.

23 June 2025

Edwards writes, Thornton is “using his speed to get vertical down the field,” towers “over smaller defenders in the middle of the field and [uses] his acceleration to create separation consistently.” Questioning Thornton’s 2025 fantasy impact is reasonable. In a best-case outcome, Thornton would likely be operating as the No. 4 receiving weapon behind Brock Bowers, Jakobi Meyers and Ashton Jeanty, leaving him with an unreliable target share. Still, this is the second positive report on ...

Jaguars signed No. 2 overall pick WR/CB Travis Hunter to a four-year contract.

22 June 2025

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Hunter’s $46.65 million contract is fully guaranteed and his "$30.57 million signing bonus is paid entirely upfront. The latter aspect makes him “the first non-quarterback not drafted first overall to receive his entire signing bonus upfront.” Securing such a deal makes sense for a player who could lead his team in overall snaps this season. Good on the Jaguars for giving it to him.

ESPN reports that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro reaffirmed that the state will not provide funding for new sports arenas.

22 June 2025

Per the report, Shapiro hopes to bring more sports, including NASCAR, to Pennsylvania, but is “very worried about the overall budget.” The state refrained from financially supporting the Sixers, who “decided to partner with Comcast Spectacor, their current landlord, to build a new arena in South Philadelphia.” Both the Eagles and Steelers could someday be impacted by Shapiro’s decision but the Eagles’ Lincoln Field lease runs through 2032. Per the report, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie i ...

Colts QB Anthony Richardson said “I’m all good” when asked about his shoulder injury and availability for training camp.

22 June 2025

Richardson said he expects to be ready for training camp, which aligns with a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport from a few weeks ago that said Richardson is “expected to be fine” by the start of camp. Richardson downplayed his most recent injury, saying it was “not really even a bump in the road” and that he has “hit the ground running again.” The former No. 4 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft is expected to battle Daniel Jones for the Colts’ starting job this summer, and i ...

Steelers released RB Jonathan Ward.

22 June 2025

Through five NFL seasons, Ward has rushed 22 times for 92 yards and caught 6-of-7 for 52 yards and one touchdown. He is a capable special teams contributor and may be able to find a spot on an NFL roster this season.

Treylon Burks (knee) may not be ready to participate when the Titans begin training camp on July 22nd.

22 June 2025

Burks is now able to run routes, roughly seven months removed from ACL reconstruction. While this is a positive step, the Titans currently have 13 wide receivers on the roster and the Titans declined to exercise Burks’s fifth-year option. Burks will have to earn a roster spot this summer. June best ball drafters should avoid him at this time.

Raiders.com reporter Levi Edwards said WR Dont’e Thornton Jr. “has already become a top target” for Geno Smith.

20 June 2025

Edwards writes, Thornton is “using his speed to get vertical down the field,” towers “over smaller defenders in the middle of the field and [uses] his acceleration to create separation consistently.” Questioning Thornton’s 2025 fantasy impact is reasonable. In a best-case outcome, Thornton would likely be operating as the No. 4 receiving weapon behind Brock Bowers, Jakobi Meyers and Ashton Jeanty, leaving him with an unreliable target share.
