  • FA Wide Receiver #16

    Chargers placed WR Seyi Ajirotutu (hand) and C David Molk (thumb) on season-ending injured reserve.
    Ajirotutu had his hand in a cast after last week’s game. He had three catches for 45 yards in three games with the Chargers. Michael Spurlock will likely see increased snaps, though he’s far from a fantasy option. A special teamer and extra blocker in jumbo packages, Molk suffered a thumb injury in Week 13.
  • TB Wide Receiver #14

    ESPN’s Jenna Laine reports Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin underwent a second ankle procedure in the spring.
    Godwin dislocated his ankle in Week 7 last season and has not been participating in team activities this offseason, starting camp on the PUP list. Now, we have a potential reason as to why his journey back has been slow. Laine reports Godwin had a minor procedure to clean up the injury, but it “wasn’t a surprise.” If he is still on the PUP list by cutdown day, Godwin will have to miss the first four weeks of the season. Fantasy managers can exercise caution as the 29-year-old has yet to return to practice as training camp begins.
    Bengals' Brown will be 'focal point' in offense
    Patrick Daugherty and Denny Carter discuss Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher's comments about Chase Brown's expected role in Cincinnati's 2025 offense and what they could mean for fantasy leagues.
  • FA Wide Receiver
    The United States District Court in Northern Texas dismissed former Texas WR Isaiah Bond’s defamation lawsuit against his accuser in a sexual assault case.
    Bond filed the defamation lawsuit against a woman who he and is lawyers claimed was making false statements in a sexual assault case against the 21-year-old NFL prospect. The case popped up in April, prior to the NFL Draft, and Bond turned himself in on a sexual assault warrant. He claimed innocence to the NFL and filed this defamation lawsuit. With it now dismissed with prejudice, Bond can’t refile the claim and he will continue to be under investigation. He went undrafted in April’s draft and remains unsigned by any NFL teams.
  • FA Tight End #85
    Dallin Holker retired after 1 season in the NFL.
    Holker was signed by the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Colorado State last season. He caught three passes for 21 yards as a rookie and dealt with an ankle injury earlier this offseason. Holker was slated to be a depth piece in the Saints’ tight end room but now steps away from football at 25 years old.
  • CAR Nose Tackle #95
    Panthers placed DT Bobby Brown III on the active/non-football injury list.
    Brown is dealing with a hamstring injury and is eligible to come off the NFI list at any point this offseason. The 24-year-old tallied four tackles for loss as the Rams’ starting nose tackle last season and signed a three-year deal with the Panthers in March. Brown will be a key defensive lineman for Carolina when he gets on the field.
  • TB Tackle #78
    Buccaneers placed OT Tristan Wirfs (knee) on the physically unable to perform list.
    Wirfs underwent knee surgery earlier this month and could be out into the early season. Head coach Todd Bowles was uncertain about his availability and sure enough, Wirfs was officially placed on the PUP list Tuesday. He is the team’s franchise left tackle and will be a big missing piece if he is not ready for the start of the season. The Bucs worked out George Fant as a potential replacement.
  • ATL Running Back #7
    Falcons QB Michael Penix said “as many times as we can get the ball in [Bijan Robinson’s] hands, we’re going to do it.”
    Now there’s an operating philosophy fantasy managers can enthusiastically co-sign. Falcons beat Josh Kendall uses that quote as evidence that Robinson being a major part of the offense is a trend that “will continue.” We’d be surprised to see much growth in Robinson’s carry and usage numbers in 2025 just because they’re already stupendously high, but it’s always good to see affirmation about that as we head into training camp.
  • BUF Tight End #88
    Bills placed TE Dawson Knox on the active/NFI list.
    No word on what Knox’s injury is or if he stands to miss any real time. It would certainly be a boon to Dalton Kincaid’s fantasy prospects if Knox were sidelined with something serious. Buffalo also placed Spencer Brown and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger on the active/PUP list.
  • NYG Tackle #78
    Giants placed LT Andrew Thomas (foot) on the active/PUP list.
    Thomas underwent season-ending Lisfranc surgery in October and the Giants are likely just playing it cautious with him in the opening stages of camp. As with any active/PUP listing, players can come off this list at any point. Thomas, one of the more talented tackles in the NFL, has played just 16 games in the past two NFL seasons.
  • LV Wide Receiver #16
    Raiders signed WR Phillip Dorsett.
    It’s not over yet. The 32-year-old speedster will try to compete for a spot at the end of the roster after being let go by the Falcons earlier this offseason. Dorsett has been targeted three times in actual NFL games since the start of the 2023 season.
  • CIN Defensive End #91
    Bengals EDGE Trey Hendrickson said the team didn’t offer him a contract with guaranteed money beyond the 2025 season.
    It’s the crux of the whole issue here — the Bengals seem willing to pay Hendrickson handsomely for the 2025 season, but without any guarantee on the 2026 season, Hendrickson would be right back in the same position at the end of 2025. He would arguably be in a worse bargaining position even if he doesn’t decline on the field in 2025, as he’d be another year older in an age-obsessed NFL. It sure doesn’t seem like there’s much of a chance of Hendrickson getting on a plane back to Cincinnati without guaranteed money in 2026 in an offer.
