KPRC 2 Sports' Aaron Wilson reports that Houston Texans running backs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (undisclosed) are both expected to be ready for the start of training camp in late July. Mixon missed voluntary organized team activities this spring and was seen wearing a walking boot, but he's now in a small brace. Both Mixon and Pierce should be ready to go for the start of the 2025 season this fall, but it makes sense why Houston is expected to sign Nick Chubb to bolster their RB room. The good news is that Mixon's ankle injury is unrelated to the two ankle injuries he suffered last year. In his first year with the Texans in 2024, the 28-year-old was a Pro Bowler for the second time in his career with 1,016 rushing yards and 11 TDs on 245 carries in 14 regular-season starts. Mixon added 36 catches for 309 yards and another TD. Volume shouldn't be an issue in 2025, but health could be.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis is scheduled to visit with the New Orleans Saints, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Davis also recently visited with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. He has plenty of money coming from the Jaguars and would likely command just a one-year deal from his new team. The 26-year-old suffered a meniscus tear in his knee in Week 11 last year against the Detroit Lions and missed the rest of the season, but he's expected to be fully ready for the start of the 2025 season. If the former fourth-rounder (128th overall) by the Buffalo Bills in 2020 out of Central Florida were to land in the Big Easy, he'd be battling for No. 3 duties with Rashid Shaheed behind Chris Olave and veteran Brandin Cooks. It wouldn't be the best landing spot from a fantasy perspective with either rookie QB Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler the two likeliest options to start under center.

Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp has been lining up 'pretty much everywhere' during OTAs, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, but Dugar believes Kupp will be used mainly on short-to-intermediate routes this season.

Fantasy Spin: With Jaxon Smith-Njigba locked in as the No. 1 option, Kupp should have the chance to take advantage of some favorable matchups. If he can stay healthy, Kupp could be a solid WR4.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, free agent running back Nick Chubb is anticipated to sign with the Houston Texans on Monday, assuming all goes well with his physical. The 2018 No. 35 overall pick was once one of the best running backs in the National Football League, amassing 1,210 carries for 6,341 yards while combining 52 trips to the end zone in his first five seasons. Unfortunately, Chubb suffered a serious knee injury in 2023 and hasn't been the same since. Joe Mixon currently sits atop the Texans' depth chart, with Dameon Pierce, Woody Marks, and Dare Ogunbowale occupying the other spots. As such, Chubb will have to battle for snaps in Houston, assuming he officially signs a deal. While that likely means Chubb's Pro Bowl days are over, especially since there are durability concerns, he could easily surpass everyone behind Mixon on the depth chart, giving him plenty of upside as an insurance policy.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson participated in only one of the voluntary workouts this offseason, but head coach John Harbaugh said Jackson looked good in that workout and is not bothered by the absences.

Fantasy Spin: Jackson likely will take part in the mandatory minicamp and should be on the field when training camp starts. He has been one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL over the last few seasons and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues in 2025.

Free-agent RB Nick Chubb (Browns) is expected to sign with the Houston Texans Monday, June 9, as long as he can pass a physical, according to sources.

Fantasy Spin: Chubb probably will take over as the No. 2 running back behind Joe Mixon and probably will see some touches each game. Fantasy players can consider Chubb as a handcuff to Mixon but probably will not be a starting option most weeks.

The Houston Texans are eyeing free-agent running back Nick Chubb to bolster their RB room behind Joe Mixon this year, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "I was told that he's hoping to sign here soon, and maybe he gets something done before a minicamp gets into a team. Four-time Pro Bowler," Fowler said. It's unlikely that Chubb re-signs with the Cleveland Browns after they drafted multiple running backs in April. Dameon Pierce, the backup to Mixon in Houston, had just 293 rushing yards and two touchdowns in 2024. A gruesome knee injury has kept Chubb to 10 games the last two years, but he did rush for 1,525 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2022. The 29-year-old averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per carry in eight games in 2024, though, and there are valid concerns about whether he can ever be explosive as he once was before his knee injury.

Free-agent RB Nick Chubb (Browns) is receiving interest from the Houston Texans, and Chubb is believed to be interested in joining the team, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.

Fantasy Spin: Chubb would be the backup to Joe Mixon if he signs with the Texans and likely would see a limited workload during games. Fantasy players can monitor the situation because Chubb may not have a lot of value if he joins the Texans.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix threw the second-most touchdown passes by a rookie QB in NFL history last year and could make even more progress in 2025, as he feels much more comfortable in his role going into his sophomore campaign. "I feel like I'm a lot further," Nix said. "Just spitting out play calls [is] a lot easier, and processing. It's a lot better. It's a lot more enjoyable not thinking right now as opposed to what I was doing last year. It's fun. It's fun to be in the know. It's fun to have a little bit more of an understanding of what's going on so I can be a little bit more beneficial to others and help them out along the way. I feel good. We're in a good spot." Nix is thinking less about footwork and mechanics and is able to react more quickly. In addition to being more comfortable in the same system, Nix has a new weapon in tight end Evan Engram, which should make him even more attractive as a midrange QB1 in fantasy.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan writes that New York Giants veteran quarterback Russell Wilson has been a natural mentor for all of the team's QBs this offseason, including rookie first-rounder Jaxson Dart. After signing in late March to a one-year deal in free agency, Wilson has quickly established himself as a leader and respected voice in the locker room. "I've always viewed it as you're always trying to be the best version of you, and then you're always giving back to everybody else," Wilson said. The 36-year-old organized a dinner this week with the QBs, O-linemen and running backs and also put together throwing sessions this offseason in various cities. While all of Wilson's reps this spring have come with the first-team offense and he will be the starter in Week 1, there will be plenty of pressure on him to perform well and to hold off Dart in 2025 after a disappointing 2024 campaign in Pittsburgh.

As the Miami Dolphins and star cornerback Jalen Ramsey continue to work on a trade, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Ramsey isn't planning on attending mandatory minicamp this week, according to sources. Nothing is imminent on a Ramsey trade, but the 30-year-old seven-time Pro Bowler appears likely to be playing for a different team come Week 1 this fall. It's not a money issue, but rather a relationship issue with the Dolphins. A return to the Los Angeles Rams is possible for the former fifth overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders could also be in play to land Ramsey. In his second year with the Dolphins last year, Ramsey had 60 tackles (39 solo), a sack, six tackles for loss, two interceptions and 11 pass breakups in 17 starts.

ESPN's Ben Solak writes that new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is an uncertain fit with wide receiver DK Metcalf. Metcalf isn't much of a precise route-runner and instead relies more on sheer strength and physicality deep down the field, and Rodgers tends to demand perfection from his wideouts. Will Rodgers and Metcalf mesh well in 2025? Solak thinks that at some point we'll see a sideline or postgame blowup between Rodgers and Metcalf. In the end, it will likely all come down to whether Rodgers buys into offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's system, which features a lot of play-action passing, something Rodgers doesn't exactly care for. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer lacks mobility at this stage of his career, too, making play-action passing more difficult. Outside of Metcalf, Rodgers doesn't have many weapons through the air, making him a midrange QB2 with not much upside.

New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy (elbow) has been taking part in voluntary organized team workouts this offseason after landing on Injured Reserve late last year following an elbow injury that he suffered in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers. The 27-year-old former second-round pick (48th overall) in 2019 out of Texas A&M appears to be healthy again this offseason and is expected to open the 2025 campaign as the starting center in what will be a completely new offense under new head coach Kellen Moore, especially with quarterback Derek Carr unexpectedly retiring in the offseason. Having McCoy healthy and available will be even more important this year if second-round rookie quarterback Tyler Shough wins the starting gig.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was at the Pittsburgh Steelers' training facility on Saturday to officially sign his one-year, $13.65 million deal that includes $10 million guaranteed with a maximum value of $19.5 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal also includes $5.85 million worth of playing and team-performance incentives. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer and fur-time MVP waited until just before mandatory minicamp next week to erase any doubts that he would play for Pittsburgh in 2025 in what will likely be his final year in the NFL. Rodgers tore his Achilles in Week 1 with the Jets in 2023 and then disappointed with 3,897 passing yards, 28 TDs and 11 picks in 17 starts last year. Injuries could continue to be an issue for Rodgers, who finished as the QB15 in fantasy. Rodgers will have DK Metcalf to work with, but not much else in what's expected to be a run-first offense.

Wide receiver Chris Conley announced his retirement on Saturday after 10 seasons in the National Football League. The 2015 No. 76 overall pick spent his first four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs before suiting up for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers. In 132 regular-season contests, he amassed 226 receptions (383 targets) for 2,998 yards and 15 touchdowns. Conley spent his final year with the 49ers, although he wasn't very productive, catching six passes for 76 yards in 15 contests.

According to former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan, wideout Stefon Diggs (knee) has looked good during OTAs, so much so that he didn't remember the infamous Memorial Day boating video. "I've already forgotten about the boat video. I thought [Diggs] looked great," said Hogan. "It's earlier, I think, than most people expected coming back from an ACL injury. I love the way he's looking running routes and cutting." The veteran will presumably miss time to begin the 2025-26 campaign after tearing his ACL in Week 8 while still a member of the Houston Texans. Although it's still early, it appears Diggs at least has a chance to exceed expectations on a timetable to return, which would undoubtedly be good news for quarterback Drake Maye, who is hoping to improve in his second season in the National Football League.

According to New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, defensive end Will McDonald IV put on some weight during the offseason. Even better, he hasn't lost any speed. "He's a dynamic athlete for a guy of his stature," Glenn said recently during OTAs. "I think he's like 6-foot-4, 240 [pounds]. He actually weighed in more than that because he's gained about 15 pounds." The 26-year-old had a relatively quiet rookie campaign, but it was a different story last season, with McDonald finishing the year with a team-high 10.5 sacks. New York has some work to do to turn things around on both sides of the ball. However, with the team adding former Chiefs defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, the Jets defensive line could give teams some trouble throughout the season.

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds appears to already be developing chemistry with quarterback Justin Fields. Reynolds, who inked a one-year deal with the Jets in March, was observed "connecting on some nice passes during OTAs." The franchise is heading in a new direction, with Fields taking over under center for Aaron Rodgers, who is now a Pittsburgh Steeler. Garrett Wilson is the top wideout on the depth chart. However, the No. 2 spot is seemingly up for grabs. Reynolds has been in the National Football League since 2017, suiting up through the years for the Rams, Titans, Lions, Broncos, and Jaguars. In 116 games, he's amassed 233 catches for 3,127 yards and 20 touchdowns. For now, he won't see much attention from fantasy managers heading into the 2025-26 campaign. Still, Reynolds has a chance to earn routine attention from Fields during the season, assuming the duo continue to build chemistry in camp. If that happens, it might not be good for the potential production of Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, and Arian Smith, among others.

The Tennessee Titans have signed fourth-round rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike to a four-year contract. Financial details have not yet been disclosed. Dike spent four seasons at Wisconsin, but culminated his collegiate career with the Florida Gators in 2024, recording 42 receptions for 783 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old is a burner, capable of separating early in the route with his speed, and offers Tennessee's offense a dimension they haven't displayed in some time. It's unlikely he plays a significant role in the early going, but the Titans' WR corps doesn't offer much competition for targets behind teammates Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett. Furthermore, Treylon Burks has yet to come on in his three seasons, and Dike provides more speed and explosiveness than Van Jefferson. He's a nice stash in dynasty formats for the time being.
