Cam Hart Recovering From Shoulder Surgery
Source: The Athletic - Daniel Popper
Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Cam Hart (shoulder) missed most of the spring program while he rehab from offseason shoulder surgery, which made it hard to get a read on where the team's rotations stood during OTAs and minicamp, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. Hart and Tarheeb Still both had solid rookie seasons in 2024, but Donte Jackson and Benjamin St-Juste enter the picture as free-agent additions in 2025, while Ja'Sir Taylor and Deane Leonard return as veterans. It's unclear exactly how the Chargers plan to attack their cornerback rotations. Popper explains that they have plenty of choices. They could have a package with bigger bodies outside, they could have a package with smaller ball-hawking types, or they could mix and match.Quentin Johnston Might Not Get Many Chances to Prove Himself
Quentin Johnston too many chances to prove himself as a starter during training camp this summer. The first-rounder in 2023 is going to have to earn his chances, especially after the team added Tre Harris in the second round in April and reunited with Mike Williams in free agency. L.A. also took wideout DeAndre Lambert-Smith in the fifth round, and Harris, Williams and Lambert-Smith all primarily play on the outside, which is also where Johnston plays. Johnston improved from Year 1 to Year 2, but he still had frustrating moments, and drops remain an issue. Receiver is going to be a highly competitive position in training camp, so Johnston is really going to have to perform in order to retain a starting position in three-wide sets for the Chargers in 2025.Source: The Athletic - Daniel Popper
The Athletic's Daniel Popper doesn't think the Los Angeles Chargers' coaching staff will give wide receiver Tre Harris Officially a Holdout
Tre Harris is officially a holdout after not reporting with the rest of the team's rookies for the start of training camp, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Harris and the Chargers continue to haggle over guaranteed money in his contract. It remains to be seen when something will get worked out for the 23-year-old, but for now, he's going to miss some developmental time in camp. Harris impressed the coaching staff during OTA and minicamp workouts, though, and he has the potential to make a fantasy impact in redraft leagues in his first year in the NFL with the Bolts in 2025, even in a run-first offense. Ladd McConkey is the unquestioned WR1 for the Chargers, but Harris could be quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to deep target if Mike Williams and Quentin Johnston continue to disappoint.Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

Quinshon Judkins Arrested on Saturday for Battery and Domestic Violence
Quinshon Judkins was arrested in Fort Lauderdale for battery and domestic violence on Saturday. According to the Broward County Sheriff's Office, the 21-year-old remains in custody while being charged with touching or striking, battery, and domestic violence. Judkins was selected in the second round with the 36th overall pick by the Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft. He also remains unsigned and now could face discipline under the NFL Personal Conduct Policy as more details come out about his arrest. If Judkins were to miss time this season, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson would see an increase in touches and snaps, bumping the draft stock a few spots for both Cleveland backs heading into upcoming fantasy drafts.Source: Zac Jackson
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Terry McLaurin Could be a Holdout at Training Camp
Terry McLaurin is entering the final year of his deal and is a candidate to be a holdout or hold-in at training camp this summer. McLaurin has five straight 1,000-yard seasons under his belt and has at least 900 receiving yards in each of his six years in the NFL, but The Athletic's Mike Jones writes that he's unlikely to land a deal that rivals that of Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase, who got four years and $161 million. However, it's possible that McLaurin tops the four-year, $115 million deal the Bengals gave receiver Tee Higgins. The 29-year-old had a strong 23.2% target share last year and excelled with impressive rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, also scoring a career-high 13 touchdowns. McLaurin will see regression in the TD department, but with Daniels looking like an elite QB, McLaurin is now in WR2 territory in fantasy.Source: The Athletic - Mike Jones
Washington Commanders wide receiver Roger McCreary a Candidate for a Contract Extension?
Source: The Athletic - Joe Rexrode
The Athletic's Joe Rexrode believes that giving Tennessee Titans cornerback Roger McCreary a contract extension this summer seems like a smart decision as the former second-rounder in 2022 enters his fourth NFL season. McCreary is by no means an elite defensive back, but he's been versatile and durable for the Titans, missing just four games in his first three years in the league. Tennessee also has plenty of question marks on defense and in their defensive backfield, so it would seem to be a wise move to get the 25-year-old locked in long term. The Auburn alum actually took a step back in 2024, posting a career-low 50 tackles (43 solo), one sack, 12 tackles for loss and only one pass breakup in 15 games (seven starts) in his third season. McCreary spent most of his time in the slot last year and struggled, so the Titans may want to move him back outside, especially if they sign him to an extension.Buccaneers Could Have Difficult Time Retaining Mike Evans
Mike Evans is entering the final year of his two-year, $41 million deal in 2025, and The Athletic's Dan Pompei writes that the team could have a difficult time retaining the future Hall of Famer beyond this season, especially at a similar price to what they just re-signed Chris Godwin at. Despite being close to turning 32 years old, Evans hasn't shown signs of slowing down, posting 1,000 yards receiving in 2024 for the 11th straight season while also scoring 11 touchdowns. Tampa certainly doesn't want to lose one of the greatest players in franchise history who is also highly respected in the locker room, but it remains to be seen how this will play out following the 2025 season after they took wideout Emeka Egbuka in the first round this year. For fantasy purposes, Evans is a high-end WR2.Source: The Athletic - Dan Pompei
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Charles Cross Could Sign Extension Before Training Camp
Kenneth Walker III, right tackle Abe Lucas, cornerback Riq Woolen and safety Coby Bryant. Shawn-Dugar adds that Cross should have a salary floor of at least $21 million per year on any new deal he gets. Seattle picked up the 24-year-old's fifth-year option back in April, but it doesn't mean it will prevent them from getting a long-term deal done before the start of the 2025 season. Cross is the unquestioned starting left tackle and will protect new quarterback Sam Darnold's blind side.Source: The Athletic - Michael-Shawn Dugar
Given Seattle Seahawks left tackle Charles Cross' age (24), position and status as the team's best offensive lineman, The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar thinks that signing him to a contract extension before training camp this summer seems like an obvious decision. Cross is one of six extension-eligible players from the team's 2022 draft class, joining outside linebacker Boye Mafe, running back Xavier Restrepo One to Watch Going into Training Camp
Xavier Restrepo as a player to watch heading into training camp this summer. Restrepo was added as an undrafted free agent after he was a teammate of quarterback Cam Ward at the University of Miami. The 23-year-old is a fierce competitor who looked comfortable in spring practices. Wyatt writes that Restrepo's 11 catches led all receivers during the five open practices to the media this offseason. If he continues to play that well during camp, the Titans may find it hard to cut him from the active roster going into the regular season. Restrepo had 1,000 yards receiving in his final two seasons with the Hurricanes. He's merely one to watch because of his chemistry with Ward, but he's not an exceptional athlete and is going to face an uphill battle for a roster spot.Source: TennesseeTitans.com - Jim Wyatt
TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt highlights rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley Appears Re-Energized
Calvin Ridley appears to be re-energized in his second season with the team with the addition of rookie first-round quarterback Cam Ward. Ridley has taken the first overall pick under his wing this offseason, and they have both formed a strong bond both on the field and off. For Tennessee's offense to take a step forward in 2025, the Titans will need the chemistry between Ward and Ridley to pay off after Ridley went for 64 catches, 1,017 yards and four touchdowns in his first year with the team in 2024. The 30-year-old is the clear WR1 and should continue to have a high target share, but his fantasy value will be directly impacted by how quickly Ward can adapt to the speed in the NFL. Ridley is ranked at RotoBaller a the No. 32 fantasy wideout.Source: TennesseeTitans.com - Jim Wyatt
