    Will Levis completed 19-of-32 passes for 127 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Titans’ 24-17, Week 1 loss to the Bears, adding four rushes for 36 yards.

    Levis also lost a fumble. Levis had a solid if unspectacular first half before coming completely unglued after the break as the Titans slowly blew a 17-0 lead. His first interception was a game-changing pick-six at the 7:35 mark of the fourth quarter. Going down for a clear third down sack, Levis essentially pitched the ball to Tyrique Stevenson. It was the kind of mistake you’re supposed to stop making after your first season in big-time college football. The second giveaway sealed the game. Levis floated the ball off his back foot to no one in particular. In between, Levis took a number of bone-crunching hits on fearless but foolhardy scrambles. He could have hit a deep touchdown to Calvin Ridley but badly under-threw the ball. It’s one start against a strong defense, but it was the kind of effort that made it look like we’ll see Mason Rudolph sooner rather than later. The Jets are a horrendous Week 2 matchup.

    FOX 59’s Mike Chappell reports that the Colts are asking for more from TE Tyler Warren this season.

    Warren led the team with 112 targets last season, joining former Colts WR Marvin Harrison (118) as the only rookies to lead the team in receiving in franchise history. Chappell notes that the Colts will need more from all of their pass catchers, with former No. 1 WR Michael Pittman Jr. now a Steeler, but he chose to build the article around Warren’s 2026 outlook, which says something. Warren has focused on exploding out of his breaks this offseason, in an effort to create more space from defenders as a route runner. If he can refine this aspect of his game, he should continue to generate explosive gains regularly this season. Warren is a TE1 in fantasy drafts, whose stock should increase as QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) continues making progress in his rehab.
    McConkey to miss minicamp, but not training camp
    Kyle Dvorchak explains why Ladd McConkey missing the rest of Chargers' minicamp is a non-issue so long as he return for training camp and explores his rebound potential in the Mike McDaniel offense.

    Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said he expects TE Tip Reiman (ankle) to be “ready to roll” when training camp starts.

    Reiman is expected to be an “important cog in the offense” this year, as a reliable blocker in the run game. Per Cardinals team reporter Darren Urban, LaFleur has, unprompted, mentioned Reiman multiple times this offseason. LaFleur told Urban that he had a lot of respect for Reiman as a prospect and was excited to inherit Reiman when he accepted the Cardinals’ head coaching vacancy this offseason. Reiman’s expected return is good news for both RB Jeremiyah Love and TE Trey McBride. He will provide extra help in the run game while fully freeing up McBride in play action. That said, it does not sound like Reiman will be fantasy-relevant at all this year.

    The Denver Post’s Luca Evans said he saw “a lot of passes being caught over the middle” at the Broncos’ mandatory minicamp this week.

    Broncos OC Davis Webb will add elements to Denver’s offense this season. Last year, the Broncos attempted the sixth-fewest (51) passes thrown 10-plus yards downfield and between the painted numbers. For reference, the league-leading Lions attempted 102 passes in this area of the field. Evans did not provide an average target depth in today’s report, but we are pleased to hear Webb is focusing on the middle of the field, regardless. Passes thrown in this area give the pass catcher more room to work, both before and after the catch, which helps them score fantasy points. Even a moderate increase in targets thrown to this area of the field would be great for QB Bo Nix and his pass catchers, like WR Jaylen Waddle and WR Courtland Sutton.

    Titans signed DT Jeffery Simmons to a three-year, $105.8 million extension through 2030.

    According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the contract makes Simmons, 28, the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history and includes $100 million guaranteed. Per PFF, Simmons led NFL defensive tackles with 12 sacks last season, while ranking in the top three in both quarterback pressures (64) and TFLs (12). His 43 solo tackles tied for sixth. Through seven NFL seasons, Simmons has appeared in four Pro Bowls, while earning two second-team All-Pro spots and one first-team All-Pro spot.

    New Orleans Football reporters unanimously listed Saints RB Alvin Kamara as the team’s RB2 in their first 53-player roster projection.

    The participants include Nick Underhill, Mike Triplett, John Hendrix and Adam Guttuso. Kamara’s status with the team is still up in the air, and Underhill notes that all four reporters “have Kamara on the roster for now, but none of us really understands the endgame there.” The Saints have reportedly been lining up RB Ty Chandler in the backfield, out wide and in the slot, theoretically foreshadowing Kamara’s role, if he indeed remains a Saint. If Kamara leaves, RB Travis Etienne can be expected to handle a high-end workload. If Kamara remains, his touch count could keep Etienne stuck in the fantasy RB2 tier.

    Cardinals team reporter Darren Urban writes that he does not know when or if the team will extend WR Michael Wilson.

    That is unfortunate. Wilson posted top-four NFL receiving marks in targets (87), receptions (56), receiving yards (775) and receiving touchdowns (six) from Weeks 11-18, powering fantasy managers to fantasy titles along the way. When asked whether he planned to offer Wilson an extension, GM Monti Ossenfort said Wilson “is about everything we want in our program to be about, and hopefully he is here for a long time.” It is tough to project Wilson’s 2026 outlook because, odds are, he will take a backseat to both TE Trey McBride and WR Marvin Harrison Jr. in the target pecking order.

    Cardinals team reporter Darren Urban believes QB Jacoby Brissett will start in Week 1 against the Chargers.

    Among the Cardinals’ currently rostered quarterbacks, Brissett is the clear-cut top starting option for fantasy purposes. While his play might not — okay, will not — lead to wins, he can support at least two skill position players in the passing game. Urban acknowledges that although Brissett and the front office have still not come to terms on a fix to get Brissett back on the practice field, he still thinks Brissett is “the guy.”

    The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt reports AD Mitchell has demonstrated “budding chemistry” with Geno Smith in offseason practices.

    Rosenblatt said in early June that Mitchell would have a shot to become a “crucial piece” of the team’s offense. Mitchel highlights have poured out of Jets OTAs over the past couple weeks as the third-year wideout looks to carve out a role in the New York passing offense. Mitchell over eight games with the Jets in 2025 had 301 yards and two touchdowns as the team’s WR2. He was an air yards dominator from Week 11-18 with the Jets; only Michael Wilson had more air yards than Mitchell over that span. “I just want to be in a room that he’s in because he’s going to light up the room,” Jets OC Frank Reich said, adding that Mitchell can “complement” Garrett Wilson. “First of all, just with his mentality, he’s got this winning mentality, this positive vibe about him, and I think we all feel that on the field.” With enough confidence from Geno, Mitchell could be an exciting if volatile fantasy option in 2026.

    ESPN’s T.J. Quinn and Juan Recio report that free agent DT Mike Pennel is a “person of interest” in a homicide investigation in the Dominican Republic.

    Carli Franchesca Guzmán Roche was reported missing on September 11, 2021. Her body was found in January 2026, on a property formerly owned by Pennel at the time she went missing, when the new owner was doing excavation work. In April, Pennel told ESPN, via a statement through his lawyer, “that he did not know, nor had any connection to, the person reported as having been found dead.” However, today’s ESPN report states that Pennel and Guzmán “had an ongoing relationship” and the two “frequently spent time together when Pennel was in the Dominican Republic.” Dominican officials have reopened the case and are “pursuing the case as a homicide, although no cause of death has been released.”

    ESPN’s Ben Baby reports that Bengals rookie WR Colbie Young is competing for OC Dan Pitcher’s “passing target No. 3" role.

    Baby’s practice notes indicate that incumbent No. 3 WR Andrei Iosivas and No. 1 TE Mike Gesicki are the other two competitors for the role, and both players “had productive springs.” Pitcher also said RB Chase Brown “can sometimes be viewed as a slot receiver,” but those types of comments are common in the summer and rarely pan out in the fall. Iosivas and Gesicki have been helpful contributors, but the fact that the team is searching for an answer at the No. 3 receiving role is indicative of their ceilings. Pitcher believes Young is “going to fight and battle” this summer, and thinks there are things Young “can do quickly and help us.” If he can actually become the team’s third-most voluminous target earner, he could pay off as a late-round best ball pick.
