    Saints EDGE Payton Turner (ankle) will not play in Week 12’s game against the 49ers.
    He didn’t practice all week after leaving Week 11’s game via a cart, and while Dennis Allen called him “day-to-day, week-to-week” with a low ankle sprain, this sure looks to be trending more towards week-to-week. Thankfully the Saints won’t have to rely on him quite as much in Week 12 with potential returns for Cameron Jordan and Marcus Davenport.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Steelers and T.J. Watt have agreed to terms on a three-year, $123 million extension, making Watt “the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history for the second time in his illustrious career.”
    Per Schefter, “no player has recorded more sacks over the last five seasons than T.J. Watt, who has 73.5 during that span.” Watt receives $108 million fully guaranteed, and the deal averages $41 million per year. It is a fitting contract for the 30-year-old pass rusher. Steelers players report to training camp on July 23rd.
    Rams' Ferguson can make fantasy impact as rookie
    Denny Carter sifts through reports suggesting Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson could have a significant role in the team's 2025 offense, exploring what it means for Tyler Higbee and fantasy drafts.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #83
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Chargers second-round WR Tre Harris “has now agreed to terms and will sign his rookie contract.”
  • DET Defensive Lineman #54
    Lions placed DL Alim McNeill on the active/physically unable to perform list.
    McNeill’s Week 15, 2024 ACL tear made this transaction a formality, as it was always expected. Lions head coach Dan Campbell previously said McNeill was expected to miss both training camp and the “early part of the season.”
  • DET Tackle #68
    Lions place OT Taylor Decker on the active/physically unable to perform list.
    The reason for Decker’s PUP listing was not given. He dealt with a knee injury late in the 2025 season, though. Also listed in the active/PUP transaction are CB Khalil Dorsey, OG Miles Frazier, DL Alim McNeill, LB Malcolm Rodriguez, DL Mekhi Wingo. Players with this designation may be removed from it at any time this summer.
  • ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. and Kalyn Kahler report that there is a dispute among NFLPA player reps regarding the disclosure of Executive Lloyd Howell’s 2011 sexual discrimination and retaliation lawsuit.
    Sources tell ESPN that “the lawsuit was settled in July 2015 for an undisclosed sum,” and stems from Howell’s time at Booz Allen Hamilton. Per the report, two player reps “were surprised to learn of the lawsuit,” saying, “the subject never came up” when the group voted Howell into his current position in June 2023. “However, two other players, who sat on the union’s executive committee that vetted and chose Howell as a finalist in 2023, disputed those accounts,” saying, “they worked closely” with search firm Russell Reynolds Associates regarding this and other matters. The latter two executive committee members, “at times,” could not recall details and/or declined to divulge details of Howell’s interview process. Prior ESPN reporting on Howell’s 34 years at Booz Allen Hamilton noted that “the firm paid a $377 million fine to settle a long-standing whistleblower lawsuit from the federal government that alleged overcharging by the firm,” which was announced “a month after the NFLPA’s executive committee hired Howell to be its executive director.” Howell served as “the company’s chief financial officer from 2016 to 2022.”
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    The Washington Post’s Mark Maske reports, “Rashee Rice may receive a multiple-game suspension this season but it’s ‘premature’ to conclude that with certainty and that outcome is ‘not close to final.’”
    Earlier today, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that “the NFL can expedite its disciplinary process and Rice is likely to receive a multi-game suspension.” Maske’s source suggests otherwise. We have no way of knowing which source to rely upon but Schefter’s report could cause Rice’s ADP to dip in an advantageous manner. Regardless, were Rice to be suspended, it would likely only be an issue for fantasy managers early in the year. Should Rice be suspended and return in Weeks 4-6, he would arrive in time to boost lineups as the bye weeks begin.
  • CHI Tackle
    Bears signed second-round pick OT Ozzy Trapilo to a four-year contract.
    The Bears have now signed two of their three second-round picks, having kicked things off by signing DT Shemar Turner earlier today. Only WR Luther Burden remains as the Bears’ lone, unsigned second-round pick. Trapilo will compete with incumbent OT Braxton Jones for the starting left tackle job. Jones has been recovering from ankle surgery and is expected to participate in the Bears’ training camp.
  • DEN Running Back
    Broncos signed second-round pick RB RJ Harvey to a four-year contract.
    This is a welcome development for Harvey and fantasy managers alike. Broncos rookies reported to the team facility yesterday, as the team prepares to begin training camp next week. Head coach Sean Payton recently indicated that he “expects the depth chart to automatically reveal itself” during training camp, where Harvey will jockey for position against the recently signed J.K. Dobbins. While Dobbins’ pass-protection skills perhaps give him an advantage over Harvey in the competition for the third-down role, Harvey proved himself as a dual-threat playmaker at UCF. This is a training camp battle worth following closely.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #18
    Mike Williams retired after eight seasons in the NFL.
    The Chargers drafted Williams with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He spent his first seven seasons with the team before being released during the 2024 offseason. He had torn an ACL six months earlier, in September 2023. Williams spent the 2024 season playing for the Jets and later the Steelers, before ultimately finding his way back to the Chargers this offseason. He retires having caught 330-of-524 targets for 5,104 yards and 32 touchdowns. Williams was known as one of the NFL’s premier jump-ball wide receivers in his prime.
  • IND Quarterback #5
    Anthony Richardson (shoulder) has resumed throwing.
    The Colts’ first training camp practice takes place on July 23rd. Fox 59’s Mike Chappell reports it remains to be seen whether Richardson will be “ready for a normal workload” next Wednesday, noting that head coach Shane Steichen previously indicated that Richardson will be eased into throwing. ESPN’s Stephen Holder adds that Richardson “has been in Florida for weeks working with his personal coaches throwing the ball with velocity.” The Colts are hoping Richardson will be able to compete for the starting job sooner rather than later. As things currently stand, Daniel Jones appears to be the safer bet to start in Week 1, but this is an important first step for Richardson.
