  • Joins forces with Bolts
    Chark and the Chargers agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Per Rapoport, the deal is worth up to $5 million. Chark visited with the Chargers exactly one week before the 2024 NFL Draft, and his signing with the team comes exactly one week after its first round. With L.A., he'll be providing a veteran presence to a receiving corps that parted with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams this offseason, meaning Chark will be vying with the likes of Joshua Palmer (knee), Quentin Johnston and second-round rookie Ladd McConkey for reps in the upcoming campaign. In 15 regular-season games with the Panthers in 2023, Chark hauled in 35 of 66 targets for 525 yards and five touchdowns. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:35 pm

  • Receiver-needy Bolts do one-year deal with Chark
    Chargers agreed to terms with WR DJ Chark on a one-year contract.

    Advice: NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports it’s worth “up to” $5 million. Although Chark is coming off a quiet campaign for the cellar-dwelling Panthers, it is a much-needed addition for the Chargers’ nonexistent receiver depth. Unless Quentin Johnston takes an unexpected step forward, Chark should immediately slot in as the Chargers’ No. 1 outside wideout. He could develop some WR4 appeal with Justin Herbert even if the Bolts go mega run heavy. Chark’s addition isn’t a huge concern for those steaming second-round rookie Ladd McConkey, as their skill sets do not overlap in the context of the Chargers’ needs. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:21 pm

  • Part of loaded offense in Chicago
    Allen, DJ Moore and Rome Odunze all worked out with new Bears QB Caleb Williams in April, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Williams and Odunze weren't on the team at the time, though in Williams' everyone knew he'd be going to Chicago with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 Draft. The Bears then took Odunze eight picks later, completing a fearsome WR trio with Allen and Moore. It's a situation that will make it nearly impossible for Allen to match his target volume from his years in San Diego and Los Angeles, even if Odunze needs some time to adjust to the pro game. Allen celebrated his 32nd birthday during the draft and is entering the final year of his contract, with GM Ryan Poles having said in March that he expected the veteran WR to sign an extension at some points. It's unclear if the Odunze selection changes the expectation for Alllen to sign a multi-year deal, as the Bears have enough cap flexibility to keep all three WRs for the next few seasons if that's what they choose to prioritize.

  • Locked in for key role
    The Falcons figure to be heavily reliant on Mooney and Drake London at wide receiver, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Falcons have sent multiple signals that they expect Mooney to bounce back from a quiet 2023 in Chicago, first giving him $26 million guaranteed on a three-year, $39 million contract and now waiting until the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft before taking a wide receiver (Casey Washington). There's no serious competition for the No. 2 WR job, though it is possible Mooney ends up a distant fourth behind London, RB Bijan Robinson and TE Kyle Pitts in terms of prioritization in Atlanta' offense. Still, it's not a bad spot to be in, especially for a thin, fast receiver who projects better as a deep threat than as a high-volume guy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:20 pm

  • 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 8:46 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 Wednesday, 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 Wednesday, 2:14 pm
