The Athletic's Jourdan Rodriguez writes that the Los Angeles Rams have some concerns along their offensive line as the 2025 regular season approaches. Starting right tackle Rob Havenstein (shoulders) missed OTAs while recovering from clean-out procedures on both of his shoulders, while starting left tackle Alaric Jackson is dealing with blood-clot issues similar to what caused him to miss time in 2022. DJ Humphries and David Quessenberry were insurance additions on the offensive line, but they didn't draft any tackles this year, and swing tackle Warren McClendon needs more development. There is time for Havenstein and Jackson to get healthy, but if they aren't ready for Week 1 this fall, quarterback Matthew Stafford could face a lot of pressure in the backfield.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - Jourdan Rodrigue

The additions to the Los Angeles Chargers' offense this year should make second-year wide receiver Ladd McConkey even more dangerous, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. The different is that last year the offense was stunted because they lacked vertical threats. This year, the Chargers have options that can attack defenses vertically from various alignments, which will open up short and intermediate areas for McConkey. Rookie wideout Tre' Harris and rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden both have the ability to make plays down the field for the Bolts and take attention away from McConkey. McConkey was a fantasy stud in his first year in the NFL with 82 catches on 112 targets for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (14 starts). The Chargers will remain a run-first offense, but McConkey should still be in play as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 in fantasy.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - Daniel Popper

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made a point all offseason that he wants the offense to get back to pushing the ball deep down the field, according to The Athletic's Zak Keefer. The Chiefs finished 27th in the NFL last year in passing plays of 20-plus yards. However, with receivers Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster all healthy going into the 2025 season, they have a deeper wideout room than they've had in years. The Chiefs should place more emphasis on explosive downfield plays, which is good news for those that draft quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 29-year-old superstar finished as the QB12 in 2024 with KC's offense dinking and dunking underneath. If the Chiefs get back to being an explosive offense deep down the field, Mahomes has a shot at returning to top-five QB status.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - Zak Keefer

The Houston Texans' offensive line is still a big question mark, and The Athletic's Mike Jones writes that virtually every starting position on their O-line remains up for grabs heading into training camp this summer. Tytus Howard is the only returning starter, but he took snaps at right guard and right tackle during minicamp. Laken Tomlinson appears to be the starter at left guard, with Jarrett Patterson, Jake Andrews and Juice Scruggs competing at center. Cam Robinson and Aireontae Ersery split reps at left tackle during offseason workouts. The Texans gave up 90 sacks the last two years, so how their offensive-line setup shakes out this year will be worth closely monitoring for those considering taking C.J. Stroud as their starting quarterback in fantasy.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - Mike Jones

Cincinnati Bengals rookie second-round linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. slotted into a starting spot immediately alongside Logan Wilson during offseason workouts and has already brought stability to the defense, according to The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. The 24-year-old is old for a rookie, which has made his addition more like a free-agent signing than a draft pick. Knight has the makings of a future leader of the defense in Cincinnati. He lacks size at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds, but he has good speed and was productive as a starter at South Carolina and Charlotte in college. Knight's coverage skills should make him an immediate starter in 2025 for a Bengals defense that was their glaring weakness last year. His athleticism and role as an every-down linebacker should also make him relevant in IDP fantasy leagues sooner than later.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - Paul Dehner Jr.

The Athletic's Adam Jahns writes that Chicago Bears new head coach Ben Johnson is challenging second-year quarterback Caleb Williams every day about everything and is coaching him hard, which should be a good thing for his development going into his second NFL season. Johnson's fiery, demanding persona stood out on the practice field during the offseason program, and it's expected to continue into training camp this summer. The 23-year-old was sacked a league-high 68 times while throwing for 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions in 17 starts after being the first overall pick in last year's draft. He also rushed for 489 yards. Fantasy managers should give the USC product a pass after the Bears fired their head coach and offensive coordinator midway through Williams' rookie season. With Johnson now running the offense and plenty of weapons at his disposal, Williams should take a step forward in 2025.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - Adam Jahns

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia writes that the battle for the Buffalo Bills' second starting cornerback job is wide open entering training camp this summer. The Bills signed both veterans Tre'Davious White and Dane Jackson in the offseason and also took Maxwell Hairston in the first round and Dorian Strong in the sixth round of this year's NFL draft. Buscaglia thinks the competition will come down to White and Hairston. White struggled during offseason workouts but knows the offense well, while Hairston has the raw ability to play anywhere, although he still has a ways to go to learn the defensive scheme. The competition is expected to go right up until the start of the regular season. The 21-year-old Hairston tweaked his hamstring during minicamp, but he's expected to be ready for the start of camp in late July.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - Joe Buscaglia

The Baltimore Ravens used a sixth-round pick to take kicker Tyler Loop out of Arizona in this year's NFL draft to replace long-time standout Justin Tucker, who was released this offseason. Loop is the favorite to succeed Tucker, but The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec thinks the Ravens could be headed for their first training camp kicking competition since Tucker beat out Billy Cundiff in 2012. John Hoyland, an undrafted rookie out of Wyoming, has been good enough to suggest that he could push Loop for the starting gig in training camp and the preseason this fall. The 23-year-old Loop impressed the coaching staff during offseason workouts after making 83.6% of his field goals in his four seasons with the Wildcats in college. Loop could be a bit inconsistent in his rookie season if he wins the job, but given the offense he's in, he could be fantasy relevant immediately.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - Jeff Zrebiec

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson said that he signed with the team this offseason because of second-year wide receiver Malik Nabers. "I came here because of him. I really wanted to play with someone who is special like him," Wilson said. Nabers led the Giants in receiving in 2024 in his first year in the league with 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns on 109 catches (170 targets) despite subpar quarterback play and two missed games due to a concussion. While the aging Wilson might not be much of an upgrade from what the Giants trotted out there last year after Daniel Jones was cut, he does excel on the deep ball and should target Nabers heavily through the air. Nabers proved last year he is a clear WR1 in fantasy, regardless of who is throwing him passes. The LSU product and former first-rounder has the ability to take over any game.--Keith HernandezSource: Empire Sports Media - Anthony Rivardo

The Athletic's James Boyd writes that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is the QB1 for now heading into training camp after Anthony Richardson (shoulder) aggravated his surgically-repaired right shoulder in OTAs and then missed minicamp. Jones has already taken a significant lead in what was supposed to be a wide-open QB competition. There is no timetable for Richardson's return to on-field activities, but he says that he'll be ready for the start of training camp at the end of July. Not only is Richardson going to need to stay healthy all summer, but he's probably going to need to outplay Jones in order to win the starting gig going into Week 1 in September. Nothing is finalized yet, but Jones' fantasy stock as a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues is rising with Richardson continuing to be set back by injuries.--Keith HernandezSource: the athletic -

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (shoulder) said that he will be ready for training camp in late July after missing mandatory minicamp with a right-shoulder injury. "I'm all good ... not really even a bump in the road. I feel like I tripped, I fell. Just got back up and hit the ground running again," Richardson said. The former first-rounder aggravated his AC joint, which he injured as a rookie in 2023 and needed surgery on, during OTAs this spring. Head coach Shane Steichen said he didn't put a timeline on Richardson's recovery earlier this month, but all signs are pointing to him being ready for the start of training camp. It's good news for Richardson, but the lost time this offseason has put Daniel Jones in the lead in the QB competition going into the 2025 season. Richardson has a lot of ground to make up and continues to lose fantasy value after being hyped as a QB1 last fall.--Keith HernandezSource: 247 Sports - Zach Goodall

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way star Travis Hunter signed his four-year, $46.65 million contract on Sunday. The deal also includes a hefty $30.57 million signing bonus. The 2025 No. 2 overall pick had plenty of hype entering the NFL Draft after a successful tenure at the collegiate level. However, despite high expectations, it may take Hunter some time to get acclimated to how things operate under new head coach Liam Coen. As a result, he may spend more time on the defensive side of the ball throughout his rookie year. While that doesn't necessarily mean Hunter won't get work on the offensive end, it could take him longer than anticipated before he becomes a trustworthy fantasy performer. That should lower his redraft value heading into the 2025-26 campaign. On the other hand, Hunter is worth drafting early in rookie drafts, at least by the fantasy managers willing to be patient.--Dennis ClausenSource: Ian Rapoport

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray noted in an interview with ESPN that he wants the team to improve this season in situations when the original play call breaks down. "It's just we have to be better on off-scheduled plays because, obviously, I have that ability to make extend plays, and we have the guys to go do it off schedule," said the former Oklahoma Sooner. "So, I believe that's an area we got to be better at." Arizona is looking for Murray to make a jump this season, and they're hoping he can get back to some of the improvisational tendencies he displayed when he bolstered WR DeAndre Hopkins as one of his weapons. The 27-year-old has been put in a situation to succeed, though it hinges on his own development. He's one of the more intriguing mid-round QBs due to his rushing upside.--Alex CiullaSource: Kevin Patra

Per the team, the New Orleans Saints have signed free agent offensive lineman Barry Wesley and defensive back Jayden Price to one-year contracts. The Saints waived cornerback Travion Fluellen and running back Xazavian Valladay in corresponding moves. Price was a first-year player out of North Dakota State in 2024 and signed with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent. He also spent time with the Arlington Renegades of the United Football League this past spring. Wesley joined Atlanta last season, too, but by way of the Seattle Sea Dragons of the XFL following the 2023 season. He recently started nine of 11 games with the UFL's Birmingham Stallions. Both athletes will vie for roster spots come the regular season.--Alex CiullaSource: New Orleans Saints

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reports that former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has fled the United States while evading a warrant for an attempted murder charge. The incident stems from a shooting outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami on May 16, in which he claimed he was the victim of an assault. However, it's alleged that Brown "punched a man during a brawl, then grabbed a firearm from a security officer and fired two shots as he chased the same individual." Anything the former wideout says at this point must be taken with a grain of salt. However, if he's being truthful, the warrant for his arrest won't be resolved anytime soon. --Alex CiullaSource: Pro Football Talk
