Jaylen Waddle told reporters he is honing his hand-eye coordination this offseason while improving his chemistry with Tua Tagovailoa. (Source: Marcel Louis-Jacques)

Fantasy Impact: Waddle dropped just six passes which tied a career-low last season, which had been a bigger issue for him prior to last year. He has also been seeing more reps in practices as the top target for Tagovailoa with Tyreek Hill working his way back from surgeries on his wrist. Waddle has proven to be a capable WR2 for fantasy managers when healthy. His durability has been one of his bigger knocks.

Jaguars beat reporter Jacob Robinson said to “expect an offense-heavy start” for Travis Hunter.

Fantasy Impact: It remains unknown what the split will be for Hunter between the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. With this report of him expected to be focusing on the offensive side, his upside for fantasy managers remains high playing alongside Brian Thomas Jr.

49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk said Christian McCaffrey looks healthy and “so explosive” ahead of training camp. (Source: Vic Tafur)

Fantasy Impact: The reports remain positive on McCaffrey ahead of training camp. The veteran running back missed most of last season due to bilateral Achilles tendinitis and a PCL sprain. The upside remains high for McCaffrey when he is on the field as the No. 1 overall running back in fantasy football. The risk is his injury history.

49ers beat reporter Matt Maiocco said “it’s not out of the question” for Brandon Aiyuk to play in Week 1. (Source: Matt Maiocco)

Fantasy Impact: Maiocco added it is "more likely" that Aiyuk lands on the PUP list to open training camp. He is continuing to work his way back from ACL and MCL injuries suffered early last season. He will miss at least the first four weeks of the season if he remains on the PUP list.

Falcons reporter Tori McElhaney mentioned that UDFA WR Nick Nash could be competing for a spot on the team's practice squad. (Source: AtlantaFalcons.com)

Fantasy Impact: There had been some reports earlier in the offseason program that Nash could have an outside shot to compete for an immediate roster spot, but that sounds more unlikely now. After leading all of college football in receptions (104), yards (1,382) and receiving touchdowns (16), it appears he'll have to wait for his opportunity. He remains nothing more than a stash for now in dynasty leagues.

Giants beat reporter Dan Duggan believes there were “no indications of any changes to Wan’Dale Robinson’s usage in the spring.” (Source: Dan Duggan)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson hauled in 93 passes for just 699 yards with three scores last season. He now gets Russell Wilson to haul in passes from, but it appears he'll remain in his short-yardage role. His upside remains limited in the WR4/WR5 range for fantasy managers.

Rams RB coach Ron Gould told reporters that Kyren Williams has looked “more explosive” during the offseason. (Source: TheRams.com)

Fantasy Impact: Williams had a big season last year, but it was the long runs where he lacked. He should remain in his workhorse role in the Rams backfield with Blake Corum and rookie Jarquez Hunter competing for snaps behind him.

Bijan Robinson said the Falcons have “outlandish goals” for the team’s rushing production this season. (Source: The Athletic)

Fantasy Impact: Atlanta finished No. 10 in rushing yards and No. 9 in rushing touchdowns as a team last season. They now head into the first full season with Michael Penix behind center after he finished last year as the starter. Tyler Allgeier should continue to hold a role, but Robinson will remain the workhorse as he was during the second half of last year.

Texans beat reporter noted that Christian Kirk “looked like a potential safety blanket” for C.J. Stroud in OTAs and minicamp. (Source: DJ Bien-Aime)

Fantasy Impact: Kirk will be competing for the No. 2 wide receiver role with Jayden Higgins in training camp behind Nico Collins. Kirk, the likely slot receiver for Houston, could prove to be a nice PPR option for fantasy managers.

Jeremy Fowler reported that the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson have “resumed talks” in recent weeks. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hendrickson did not report to minicamp and has said he will hold out into the season if a new deal isn't agreed to. This will remain a situation to monitor heading into training camp in the coming weeks.

Steelers beat reporter Mike DeFabo believes Cordarrelle Patterson “could find himself on the outside looking in” for a roster spot in 2025. (Source: Mike DeFabo)

Fantasy Impact: Despite losing Najee Harris in free agency, Pittsburgh drafted Kaleb Johnson and signed Kenneth Gainwell to pair with Jaylen Warren in the backfield. Patterson will be competing for a roster spot in training camp.

Brown beat reporter Zac Jackson believes that Jerome Ford is “the starter for now” and will “still play and probably start early in the season.” (Source: Zac Jackson)

Fantasy Impact: This is potentially even more likely now with the report on Saturday of Quinshon Judkins getting arrested and held on domestic violence charges. Ford ran for 565 yards and three scores on 104 carries last season. The status of Judkins will be worth monitoring for the purpose of Ford's role.

Dak Prescott said he’s “fully healthy” going into Cowboys training camp. (Source: Todd Archer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Prescott's season ended early last year after undergoing season-ending surgery on his hamstring. He'll under year one under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Dallas acquired George Pickens in a trade this offseason to go along with CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson.

Adam Schefter reported that Nyheim Hines said he is hoping to sign with a team before training camp. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hines has not played in the NFL since tearing his ACL a couple of years ago in a jet-ski accident. He last played for the Colts and Bills. He could still hold a special teams role as well as a passing down role out of the backfield.

Giants TE Theo Johnson said he is healthy after undergoing foot surgery last season. (Source: Giants Huddle)

Fantasy Impact: The surgery placed Johnson on injured reserve in early December last season. He caught 29 passes for 331 yards and one touchdown prior to his injury last year. He is likely to remain off the fantasy radar.

Bears beat reporter Kevin Fishbain said coach Ben Johnson “seemed confident” that Luther Burden would be ready at the start of training camp. (Source: Kevin Fishbain)

Fantasy Impact: Burden has missed most of the offseason program for Chicago due to a soft tissue injury. He remains unsigned from his rookie contract. He figures to be competing for the Beard No. 3 wide receiver role in training camp.

Jeremy Fowler reported that Terry McLaurin was “not happy with where things are with an extension.” (Source: Jeremy Fowler)

Fantasy Impact: The two sides are hoping to get a deal done before the start of training camp on July 22. McLaurin has skipped all offseason workouts with the Commanders to this point. This remains a situation to monitor over the next week.

Browns rookie RB Quinshon Judkins was reportedly arrested for battery and domestic violence. (Source: Pro Football Talk on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Judkins was arrested Saturday morning in Florida. This will remain a situation to monitor to see what happens to the rookie running back as he remains in custody.

Chargers rookie WR Tre Harris is officially holding out from training camp. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The deadline for Chargers rookies to report is coming up. Harris is the first rookie to take a stand with 30 of the 32 second-round picks unsigned because of a disagreement over guaranteed money. It will be worth monitoring to see if this move leads to more second-round rookies holding out as well.
