Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels is turning some heads during the offseason, mostly due to his skills in the passing game.

The Carolina Panthers signed first-round wide receiver D.J. Moore to his four-year rookie deal on Monday.

Moore set a Maryland single-season record with 80 catches last […]

Billy Price Cleared to Participate

According to his own Twitter account, Cincinnati Bengals rookie center Billy Price (pectoral) has been fully cleared to participate.

Eric Ebron Has Been "Impressive" in Offseason Program

According to Indy Star's Stephen Holder, Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron "has been among the more impressive Colts" during the team's offseason program. His athletic skill set has led to head coach Frank Reich using Ebron all over the formation. "He’s really smart," Reich said, "and that’s really good because you want to use […]

Green Bay to Have Running Back by Committee

As reported by ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said in an interview, “The fact of the matter is we’re going to go running back by committee.” Although it does seem odd to make such a pronouncement before training camp has even started, this should come as no surprise. Green Bay’s […]

Baker Mayfield Still Has A Long Way To Go

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has made progress since the team made him the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL draft. That being said, Mayfield still has a way to go before he is ready to unseat Tyrod Taylor as the team's starting quarterback. Mayfield has already earned second-team reps in practices, but […]

Doubts Remain About Corey Coleman's Work Ethic

According to a story by beat reporter Scott Petrak, the Cleveland Browns still have doubts about wide receiver Corey Coleman's work ethic and football intelligence. There continue to be rumors about the Browns wanting to trade Coleman, who was their first-round draft pick back in 2016. The Browns drafted wideout Antonio Callaway in the fourth […]

Austin Corbett Could Be Browns Starting Left Tackle

The Cleveland Browns have to worry about filling the left tackle position for the first time since they drafted Joe Thomas back in 2007. With Thomas now retired, the team has a position battle for who will emerge as the starter at the position. It is expected to come down to rookie Austin Corbett and […]

Deon Cain Expected to Compete in Three-Receiver Sets

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Deon Cain is expected to compete for a role in three-wide sets in 2018, according to Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star. Wide receivers Chester Rogers and Ryan Grant are the favorites to be on the field alongside T.Y. Hilton in those sets right now, but Cain drew rave reviews […]

Michael Gallup Showing a "Good Rapport" With Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup has reportedly shown a "good rapport" with quarterback Dak Prescott. It can be hard to analyze things at organized team activities, but Gallup was able to find "ways to generate space" and should have an opportunity to see plenty of targets with Dez Bryant no longer on the […]

Dallas Goedert Expected to Have a Week 1 Role

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert is expected to have an immediate role in Week 1. Zach Ertz remains atop the tight end depth chart of course, but with Trey Burton gone, Goedert will slide into the No. 2 tight end role. Goedert wasn't much of a blocking tight end in college, so he […]

Christian Kirk With Chance To Take WR2 Role

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk has been performing well in offseason activities and still has a very good chance to be the team's WR2 entering the season. Kirk is a dynamic playmaker who is considered the successor to fellow wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. However, because Fitzgerald has at least one more season in […]

Sam Bradford Is The Likely Starter in 2018

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford will likely enter the season as the starter, despite fierce competition from rookie Josh Rosen. This is good news for Bradford owners, as he should be a QB2 for the majority of the season and is not likely to lose his job soon unless he severely underperforms. This makes Rosen […]

David Irving Suspended for Four Games

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman David Irving was suspended by the NFL for four games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He won't be able to take the field until the Week 5 game against the Houston Texans. Irving failed a test and served a four-game suspension in 2017 as well. Entering a contract year, Irving […]

Rico Gathers Mostly Works as a Blocker in OTAs

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers reportedly "didn't get many chances" to catch passes during organized team activities. Gathers worked mostly as a blocking tight end, and it seemed like the team had him focusing on that aspect of tight end play instead of as a more fantasy-relevant pass-catching tight end. Gathers has been a […]

"The Pain is Gone" in Andrew Luck's Shoulder

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) told the media on Monday that the "pain" in his surgically-repaired shoulder is "gone". Now that Luck is feeling more confident in his recovery and has finally thrown a football, there is at least some light at the end of the tunnel. While the Colts will limit Luck in […]

Trent Brown Has First Crack At Left Tackle Job

New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown looks like he'll have the first crack at the left tackle job, with first-rounder Isaiah Wynn starting at left guard. David Andrews is locked in at center and Shaq Mason is one of the best right guards in the league, leaving Joe Thuney as potentially the odd man […]

Nathan Peterman A Serious Contender For Starting Job

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman should be considered a serious contender for the starting job to open the season. He has rotated first-team snaps with AJ McCarron, with rookie Josh Allen mostly working with the third-team offense. Peterman has looked sharp so far, including completing 10 of his 13 passes in 11-on-11 drills in minicamp […]

Ronald Jones Could See 15-20 Touches Per Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones, a second-round pick, could see 15 to 20 touches per game in his first season. It's a bit of speculation from the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud, but it's clear that Jones has the most upside out of the group between Peyton Barber, Charles Sims and Jacquizz […]

No Timetable For D'Onta Foreman

Although Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) is optimistic he'll be ready to go in training camp, he remains without a timetable to return and is unlikely to be full go for the start of training camp. Foreman showed flashes in his rookie season, rushing for 327 yards and two touchdowns before rupturing his […]

ArDarius Stewart's Roster Spot Could Be Safe

ESPN New York's Rich Cimini believes New York Jets wide receiver Ardarius Stewart is safe for a roster spot in training camp, as the team could keep up to six wide receivers. Stewart is currently buried on the depth chart behind Quincy Enunwa, Robby Anderson, Jermaine Kearse and Terrelle Pryor and has been outplayed in […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Says He Won't Hold Out

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has promised that he will be in attendance at training camp this summer and that he won't hold out while seeking a long-term contract extension. However, a source familiar with Beckham's plans cautioned that the plans could change if there is no movement in contract talks, and […]

Ian Thomas To Battle For Backup Duties

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ian Thomas, who saw some snaps with the first-team offense during minicamp, has shown his athleticism and will battle Chris Manhertz for the backup job to Greg Olsen. As long as Olsen can stay healthy, Thomas is unlikely to figure into the fantasy landscape, but he's one to keep an […]

Jordan Taylor Likely To Start Camp On PUP List

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hips) will "probably" start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Taylor was held out of organized team activities and minicamp. Taylor is a long shot to be a big contributor on offense this year after the team drafted rookies Courtland Sutton […]

Braedon Bowman Standing Out

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Braedon Bowman, who spent all of 2017 on the practice squad, has impressed with his playmaking in offseason workouts. He has soft hands as a receiver but also can succeed as a blocker, which makes him intriguing to watch with Hunter Henry (knee) out for the year and Virgil Green […]

Jaguars Sign DeAndre Smelter

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Smelter on Friday and waived/injured defensive tackle Michael Hughes in a corresponding move. Smelter was a fourth-round pick of the Niners in 2015 and has just one catch for 23 yards in two games in the NFL. He will be in a battle to make the Jags […]

Davis Webb Improving

New York Giants backup quarterback Davis Webb took some first-team repetitions at minicamp this week and impressed. The second-year QB has shown improvement from his first season. "I think he has improved every day. I think he's got an outstanding skill set," head coach Pat Shurmur said. "I mean, big, strong, can throw. Saw [Thursday], […]

Injuries Hobble Colts Safeties Ahead of Training Camp

Indianapolis Colts free safety Malik Hooker (knee) and strong safety Clayton Geathers are both coming off of injuries for the team's training camp. Hooker has a chance to be cleared for training camp, while Geathers is questionable to attend. Hooker is eight months removed from ACL surgery and did some off-field work at offseason team […]
