Looking like he belonged nowhere close to an NFL football field, 38-year-old Hoyer lost his 13th straight start. That covers five separate teams. Hoyer’s second interception was a hilarious pick-six that went in the books as Chicago’s first since Week 2 of the 2021 season. Hoyer and his “offense” weren’t even competitive as they got annihilated by undrafted, Division II rookie “Tyson Bagent” in his first career start. Coach Josh McDaniels finally cried uncle when he benched Hoyer for the final 3:32. Aidan O’Connell immediately engineered Vegas’ only touchdown drive, making an already-terrible decision look that much worse. Jimmy Garoppolo (back) will supposedly be back for Week 8 against the Lions. Hoyer has potentially played his final NFL snap.

Berrios was one of four receivers to work out for the Giants on Monday, with the most notable being free agent Odell Beckham Jr. Whether or not Berrios’ signing will have an impact on OBJ joining the team remains to be seen, but unlike Beckham, Berrios was actually in the league last season. The 30-year-old receiver caught six passes for 37 yards for the Texans last season, and perhaps most importantly, has a lengthy resumé on special teams. After losing return man Gunner Olszewski to a torn Achilles last week, the Giants are in need of help in the return game. Berrios has a 191 combined kick and punt returns for his career and was a First-team All-Pro as a return man in 2021.

Toure is a former seventh-round draft pick who spent parts of last season with the Broncos and Saints. He appeared in just one game last season, catching 1-of-3 targets for nine yards, and has a career receiving line of 14-163-1. Toure will have to battle for a spot on the 53-man roster this season, and faces an uphill battle to make the team even if A.J. Brown is traded.

The drum beat continues to grow louder for an OBJ/Giants reunion. The star receiver was recently spotted at Brian Burns charity softball game over the weekend, and has remained in constant contact with the team this offseason. At 33 years old, it’s hard to imagine OBJ offering much upside in reality and in fantasy land. Beckham didn’t play in 2024 and had a forgettable 2023 season with the Dolphins, catching nine passes for 55 scoreless yards. In addition to Beckham, the Giants are also working out JuJu Smith-Schuster, Braxton Berrios, and Anthony Miller on Monday. Smith-Schuster caught 33 passes for 345 yards and one touchdown last season with the Chiefs.

Kelly’s assessment might just be an indictment of the Dolphins’ other wide receivers. To be fair, Kelly also notes that Washington “has been praised in the past for his ability to learn and execute the offense.” Regardless, Washington seems to be in the driver’s seat at the moment. If he is going to be anything more than a matchup-based WR5/FLEX slot receiver, though, Washington will need to earn a role in two-wide receiver sets. Keep an eye on him this summer.

Dulcich, 26, chipped in as a small-time contributor in the second half of the year in 2025. For those bold enough to stream him in Week 17 championships, he turned in 16.1 PPR points. Per Kelly, Dulcich is “seemingly developing chemistry” with QB Malik Willis, but Kelly still wonders whether Dulcich can become a reliable run blocker and pass protector after four NFL seasons. It’s a fair question. Still, if Dulcich can carve out a role as a featured pass catcher, he will be a worthwhile dart throw in best ball formats.

Fowler adds that “there is some interest in potentially coming back there,” and suggests the two sides might be able to agree to a revised deal. Fowler’s commentary is convoluted, and New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill points out that Fowler may have misinterpreted Kamara’s current contract numbers as well. Regardless, we believe Fowler is saying that Kamara would like to remain a Saint, but the team has not been interested in the suggested resolutions coming from Kamara’s camp. Per Over The Cap, the team would save only $376,000 by releasing him after June 1st. Beat reporters have recently opined that releasing Kamara would create the need for outside help at the RB2 spot. Retaining Kamara on a revised deal could benefit both sides.

The 49ers voided Aiyuk’s 2026 guarantees in November and will only be required to pay him if he remains on the roster on September 1. Fowler said a trade is still possible, but questions remain about Aiyuk’s surgically-repaired knee. He also has not spoken to the organization for some time. It’s an unfortunate situation that could drag on for a while.

The two sides are currently “working on” trade terms. The Patriots hope to get the deal done shortly after the league calendar rolls over at 4:01 pm Eastern tomorrow, at which time, the Eagles can spread out Brown’s salary cap over two seasons instead of one. Per Fowler, the Patriots “have not been overly crazy” about meeting the Eagles’ first-round-pick asking price. He wonders if the Eagles would be comfortable accepting a conditional pick for Brown, or if they might be willing to send a pick of their own to New England. Ending this saga as quickly as possible would likely be best for all involved, because it ends the storyline for the Eagles and allows Brown to begin studying his new playbook before training camp.

Moore sort of bumbled his way through a status check from Buffalo News’ Katherine Fitzgerald. Initially, the veteran wide receiver said things are “going good,” before talking his way into an up-and-down write-up. Growing pains are expected, especially in the spring, but we sure hope Moore tells us things really are “perfect” a few weeks from now. Moore, 29, has a chance to resume operating as a clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver with his new team. The Bills have lacked a difference-making perimeter threat for years. If he can master the playbook, a stable WR3 season could be in play for him.

Raanan’s assessment comes after Giants LB Brian Burns’ charity softball game. Beckham attended and signed autographs for fans. This doesn’t give us a ton to go on, but Beckham is at least spending time with the team off the field. If he were to sign in New York, it is unlikely that he would be able to return FLEX value on a weekly basis, but he would deepen the pass-catching corps for QB Jaxson Dart. Beckham and other free agent wide receivers will workout for the Giants on Monday.
