1. SF: Christian McCaffrey looking as good as ever?

Source: NFL.com - Nick Shook

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey 'looks incredible ... and so explosive,' according to FB Kyle Juszczyk.

Our view: It's a small quote, and these are the type of things often heard in the offseason. "Player A" in the best shape of his life! "Player B" going to be better than ever! That's all nice and well, but with McCaffrey everyone already knows how talented he is at full strength. Fantasy GMs who are taking McCaffrey near the end of the first round (current ADP of RB5) will have to have a plan in place if he misses more time. Isaac Guerendo is in line to be McCaffrey's primary backup in 2025.

2. LAC: Najee Harris likely to miss start of camp

Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

Updating previous reports, Los Angeles Chargers RB Najee Harris (eye) is likely to miss the start of training camp due to the eye injury suffered from a fireworks mishap.

Our view: Harris will be ready to go by the start of the regular season. If he misses time at the beginning of camp that gives rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton a larger chance to impress. The Chargers are going to have a full-fledged RBBC in a Jim Harbaugh run-heavy offense. That means Harris and Hampton will share the workload, frustrate Fantasy GMs, and likely each produce as flex options due to this split.

3. SF: Brandon Aiyuk ahead of schedule

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) could be ahead of schedule in his rehab, and there's a small chance he could be ready for Week 1, according to team insider Matt Maiocco on KNBR 680. 'I hear he's doing really well,'I hear that the knee is even ahead of schedule,' Maiocco said. 'Also, from what I understand, is it's not out of the question that he could be ready Week 1. I think the feeling inside the organization has always been don't take any chances, start him off on PUP when they report to training camp July 22, and then more than likely, just have that carry over into the regular season.'

Our view: We should see Aiyuk begin training camp on the PUP list, which gives the team the option to begin Aiyuk on the PUP list to begin the regular season. The veteran receiver is working his way back from the torn ACL and MCL he suffered in Week 7 last season. He's unlikely to look like himself until the midway point of the 2025 regular season - at the earliest. Aiyuk has a current ADP of WR47.

4. JAX: Odds stacked against Travis Hunter being full-time player?

Source: JaguarsWire - Paul Bretl

Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter 'may be that special guy that we have never seen before ... but there is so much detail in (the Jacksonville) offense that he has to learn,' according to long-time NFL analyst Greg Cosell.'Liam Coen's offense, assuming he's a wide receiver first, which apparently he is, there is a ton of motion, there's a ton of formations, he's got to learn all of that. So, again, he may be that special guy that we've never seen before. I'm not going to sit here and say he can't do it, but there is so much detail in that offense that he has to learn. He can't sit in two meetings at the same time,' Cosell said recently on The Ross Tucker Podcast.

Our view: Cosell is essentially saying what everyone else does; Hunter is a special player, but it's a lot to ask for anyone to play full time on both sides of the ball. He was able to do that at Colorado, but the NFL is a more intense game. We assume Hunter will be primarily used on offense as a rookie, and as the Jaguars no.2 receiver, he's got flex appeal for Fantasy GMs.

5. DET: Aidan Hutchinson pleased with recovery

Source: NFL.com - Nick Shook

Detroit Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson (leg) is 'exactly where I need to be (physically)' in regards to his recovery from the broken fibula and tibia he suffered in October of 2024.'I'm exactly where I need to be. Every year I've been able to improve on my own physical attributes along with the mental ones, so I feel like every year I take a step. Despite having that rehab this offseason, I feel like I'm in the perfect spot and exactly where I need to be going into Year 4,' Hutchinson told CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson recently.

Our view: Hutchinson went down with this serious leg injury in Week 6 and missed the remainder of the season. At the end of May 2025, Hutchinson was “fully cleared” to return from the fractured tibia and fibula he suffered in 2024. With two years left on his contract, the Lions may get in front of the situation with a potential extension. Now that he's healthy, Hutchinson should again be one of the best rushers in the NFL.

6. WAS: Terry McLaurin has been talking with coach

Source: Commanders Wire - Bryan Manning

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin has been talking with head coach Dan Quinn this offseason even though he skipped offseason workouts and the mandatory minicamp, according to Bleacher Report's James Palmer.

Our view: Palmer said McLaurin is not believed to be looking to reset the receiver market. This is a good sign, and deals tend to get done at deadlines. McLaurin is entering the final year of a three-year extension he signed in 2022, and he's on the books with a $25.5MM cap hit (and $14MM in dead money). Reports suggest McLaurin may be seeking a contract that pays him around $30MM annually. Training camp for the Commanders begins on July 22.

7. NYG: Little changes for WR Robinson's role?

Source: Dan Duggan - The Athletic

Dan Duggan, from The Athletic, reports there were no indications of any changes to New York Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson’s usage during offseason practices.

Our view: Robinson played almost 78 percent of his snaps last year from the slot, and that's where he seems to be again in offseason workouts. Fantasy GMs don't buy what Robinson suggested earlier this year when he said he expects to move around a lot more in 2025. He's currently going off the board at WR68 after finishing last year as WR44 in PPR leagues.

8. CHI: GM Poles Given 3-Year Extension

Source: Adam Schefter - ESPN

Adam Schefter, from ESPN, reports the Chicago Bears have reached a three-year contract extension with GM Ryan Poles.

Our view: Now both Poles and new HC Ben Johnson are under contract through the 2029 season. Ownership is giving these two time to put together a championship roster, and this offseason, there have been some impressive moves on paper. Poles has his fair share of misses as general manager, so tying him to Johnson and seeing what these two can do makes sense.
