  • Role with team TBD
    Smith-Schuster's role with Patriots is unclear after the team selected a pair of wideouts in the 2024 NFL Draft, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Over the course of 11 regular-season games in his first year with the Patriots, Smith-Schuster recorded a 29-260-1 line on 47 targets in 2023. The veteran wideout is under contract with the team through 2025, and he's presumably past the ankle issue that landed him on IR in December. Even so, New England's additions of free agent K.J. Osborn and a pair of 2024 draftees (second-rounder Ja'Lynn Polk and fourth-rounder Javon Baker) to a wide receiver mix that also includes returnees Kendrick Bourne (knee) and Demario Douglas clouds Smith-Schuster's depth chart standing ahead of training camp. With that in mind, both Callahan and Chad Graff of The Athletic suggest that the 27-year-old pass catcher could end up moving on as the offseason progresses. Rotowire.com Today, 10:11 am

  • Caserio: Tank Dell ‘doing great’ with recovery
    Texans GM Nick Caserio said Tank Dell is “doing great” after suffering a “minor” gunshot wound.

    Advice: Dell was shot during an altercation in Sanford, Florida, last week and suffered a “minor wound.” He was treated and released from the hospital shortly after, and Caserio said he has “been in and out of the building” since then. With that seeming to be behind him, Dell is also working his way back from a fractured fibula suffered in Week 13 but is expected to be ready in time for the start of the season. Dell posted a 47-709-7 line in 11 games but will face more target competition in 2024 with Stefon Diggs now in town. He should have fringe WR2/WR3 upside in a loaded receiver room, but is capable of turning in a top-12 week at a moment’s notice. Rotoworld Today, 8:46 am

  • Could be moved
    With D'Andre Swift signed this offseason and Roschon Johnson entering his second season, Herbert is viewed as potential trade bait, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Herbert is entering the final year of his rookie deal that is set to pay him a non-guaranteed $1.055 million salary, and the coaching staff is high on Johnson headed into his second season after he was taken in the fourth round of the NFL Draft last year. Swift inked a three-year, $24 million deal in March. After leading the NFL averaging 5.7 yards per carry in 2022, Herbert battled ankle and back issues last year, missing five games on injured reserve in the middle of the season. Travis Homer is also on the roster as a special teams ace. Herbert doesn't play special teams. Rotowire.com Today, 8:30 am

  • Ahead of schedule in rehab
    Hockenson (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn right ACL and MCL, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Hockenson suffered his knee injury the day after Christmas. According to Lewis, even though Hockenson is making quick progress, the Vikings don't plan to rush him back, and the tight end's status for Week 1 remains in question. There's chance he opens the season on reserve/PUP. If so, veterans Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt are next up on the depth chart. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am

  • No competition arrives via draft
    Walker is expected to remain the No. 1 running back for the 2024 season after the Seahawks didn't select a running back in the NFL Draft.

    Advice: The Seahawks did sign George Holani and TaMerik Williams as undrafted free agents, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, but neither player presents a real threat to Walker's job. While Walker and 2023 second-round pick Zach Charbonnet split snaps last season, Walker was still the clear No. 1 back with 219 carries for 905 yards (4.1 YPC) and eight touchdowns. He added 29 receptions for 259 yards and a score. The Seahawks added three linemen in the draft, including third-round pick Christian Haynes, so they're hoping their offensive line will show more consistency this year. Rotowire.com Today, 7:06 am

  • Likely to remain starter
    Slayton (thumb) is expected to open the season as a starting wideout opposite rookie first-round pick Malik Nabers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Slayton refused to report to voluntary offseason workouts, as he's entering the final season of a two-year contract and is seeking an extension. The Giants, however, haven't budged, and the team used the sixth overall pick in last week's draft to take Nabers after using a third-round pick on Jalin Hyatt in 2023. While Slayton is the favorite to open the summer as a starter on the outside, the team likely hopes Hyatt can push the veteran for snaps and targets in his second season. Nabers is the most talented receiver of the lot and could quickly prove to be the No. 1 option in the passing game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:39 pm

  • Bumps down depth chart
    Hyatt is expected to be the Giants' top backup wide receiver in 2024 following the team's selection of Malik Nabers with the No. 6 overall pick in last week's draft, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Hyatt injured his hamstring in the season finale against the Eagles, but he's presumably made a full recovery by now. He's coming off a rookie season in which he secured 23 of 40 targets for 373 scoreless yards over 17 games. He averaged a strong 16.2 yards per catch, but the number of catchable passes thrown his way were few and far between as a downfield threat. Darius Slayton is expected to open the season as a starter opposite Nabers, with Wan'Dale Robinson in the slot. The Giants would likely prefer to see Hyatt push Slayton for snaps.

  • Fowler: Tyler Boyd visiting Chargers and Titans
    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Tyler Boyd has meetings with the Chargers and Titans this week.

    Advice: Boyd spent the first eight years of his career in Cincinnati. The Bengals showed no interest in re-signing him after a quiet 2023 season with 667 yards and two scores. The Chargers, on the other hand, could use a veteran slot receiver to round out their young receiver room. Quentin Johnston did next to nothing as a rookie and can’t be counted on to produce in 2024. That leaves first-year receiver Ladd McConkey and veteran wideout Joshua Palmer as Justin Herbert’s top pass-catchers. The Titans have a better receiving duo up top with Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins but may be looking for an upgrade over Treylon Burks in the slot. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:14 pm

  • Progressing, but without timeline
    Dulin, who tore his ACL during training camp last season, said Wednesday that he still doesn't have a timetable for his return to full football activities, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Dulin is feeling good and doing work on the field, which at least notes that he's making progress on some level in his recovery from knee surgery. The 26-year-old probably would have operated as the team's No. 4 wideout had he been healthy in 2023, and he'll likely be competing for the same role in 2024 once he's back to 100 percent.
