Already on the hot seat, Getsy was fired after a fiasco of a loss to the Bengals on Sunday, Getsy’s Bears track record suggested he was a poor hire all along in Vegas, though the team’s severe talent deficiencies make it unclear what he could have really done differently. He was still stuffing the stat sheet for Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. Coach Antonio Pierce undoubtedly wants a greater run-game commitment, but that is easier said than done with Alexander Mattison and Zamir White. Perhaps 40-year-old Getsy will reunite with Matt LaFleur in Green Bay. As for the Raiders, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports passing-game coordinator Scott Turner could be the next man up as play-caller.

According to the California Post, a spokesperson for the Davie, Florida, police department said officers arrived at Smith’s residence at 4:40 PM ET on Sunday. They also noted that no one was taken into custody at the time, and there are conflicting reports on whether the situation remains under review or has been closed. The incident involves a woman named “Kristen” who claimed in a video she posted to Instagram that Geno “beat my a—" while also claiming he broke her computer. Smith can be seen in the video and is also seen speaking to police officers, but we don’t know much about the situation beyond that. The Jets have declined to comment on these reports at this time, but we’ll likely get more information on the matter in the near future. Smith joined the Jets on a one-year, $3.3 million contract this offseason and is expected to serve as the team’s QB1 in the second season under Aaron Glenn. ESPN’s Rich Cimini later reported that a police spokesperson said of the situation, “It is not an active case, but is still being reviewed before (a report) can be released.”

Walker has just seven career receptions and converted four of those into touchdowns. The third-year receiver is going to be pushed for the third WR spot on the depth chart by rookies Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt this offseason, but Hensley praised Walker for his ability to stretch the field so far this offseason. We’ll see what happens when pads come on and defenses can actually play coverage against receivers, but it sounds like Walker has gotten off on the right foot with a month to go before training camp.

Bond was also singled out by head coach Todd Monken earlier this spring as one of the team’s most improved players, but fantasy managers should temper expectations here. Jerry Jeudy remains on the roster, and the Browns just used the 24th and 39th overall picks in this year’s draft on receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. Bond played on the third-most snaps (467) of any Browns receiver last season and ran the second-most routes (343). The result over a 16-game span was 44 targets which he converted into 18 catches for 338 scoreless yards. Bond’s 17.1 air yards per target led all Browns receivers, but speaks to the role he played as the team’s primary field stretcher. The spring news on Bond has been encouraging, but will likely settle somewhere as the Browns’ WR4 or WR5 if the team breaks camp with all of its top receivers healthy.

Archer mentioned Flournoy as the biggest surprise for the Cowboys so far this offseason. The third-year receiver totaled 40 catches for 475 yards and four touchdowns last season, and played 34.4 percent of his snaps in the slot. The Cowboys ran the fourth-most plays from 11 personnel last season, per TruMedia. While it’s possible that Flournoy’s increased slot role leads to more production, fantasy managers should take this with a grain of salt. As long as CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson are healthy, Flournoy will face an uphill climb to improve on the 3.8 targets per game he averaged last season. That said, if either Lamb or Pickens were to miss time, Flournoy could have some streaming upside in deeper leagues after he posted a few 100-plus yard games last season in games where either Pickens or Lamb were sidelined.

Dulcich turned into a nice contributor for the Dolphins during the second half of last season. He didn’t play his first snaps until Week 8 due to an injury that landed him on injured reserve, but in 10 games, Dulcich caught 26 passes for 335 yards and one touchdown on 33 targets, earning four or more targets in five of those games. This isn’t the first time we have heard Dulcich has flashed in practice, and given the thin receiver room in Miami, it’s easy to envision a meaningful role for him in 2026. Dulcich is a former third-round pick who posted a 33-411-2 line as a rookie back in 2022 in 10 games with the Broncos, but injuries have slowed him in recent years. Now that he’s healthy and making a strong early showing this offseason, Dulcich could make for an intriguing late-round draft pick in fantasy leagues.

This comes via an article published by John Oehser of Jaguars.com. In the article, Lawrence acknowledged there were times last season when he and Thomas “weren’t on the same page,” but that’s something they’re hoping to change in 2026. Lawrence said he’s considered ways he can improve on his timing and accuracy with Thomas next season as Thomas hopes to bounce back from a down season after he broke out for 87-1,282-10 as a rookie in 2024. Thomas caught 48 passes in 14 games last season, totaling 707 yards and just two touchdowns. The fact he’ll also be fighting for targets with last year’s breakout receiver, Parker Washington, and veteran Jakobi Meyers, could limit Thomas’ ceiling next season, but any improved chemistry with Lawrence could result in a solid fantasy floor after he managed only three top-24 PPR finishes last season.

This is a tall task for the shortest wide receiver to ever reach 1,000 yards in a single season. That said, Robinson and new Titans OC Brian Daboll spent the last four seasons together with the Giants, so Robinson is intimately familiar with the offensive scheme, and he added a vertical element to his route tree last year. Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate is his primary target competition and as Arvin notes, “Robinson should find favorable matchups working from the slot.” Robinson finished as the PPR WR14 last season, yet he is being drafted as a borderline WR4/5 in best ball. Even if Robinson ends up being Tate’s sidekick, this looks like a dip worth buying right now.

Arvin writes that Tony Pollard is expected to remain the lead back, but he thinks a committee approach could be in order, with the additions of fifth-round pick Nicholas Singleton and the continued presence of Tyjae Spears. On June 11, Titans coach Robert Saleh referred to Pollard and Spears as “the bellcows of this football team,” and said Singleton will have to “compete his way” into the rotation. The Titans have had just three practices since Saleh’s remarks. Pollard remains the top back in Tennessee. Spears is penciled in on passing downs and might get the chance to play a small role on early downs as well. Singleton’s role is murky. It would be reasonable for the Titans to limit a fifth-round rookie to special teams only.

Before digging into the numbers, keep in mind that Pierce is currently recovering from offseason ankle surgery and could return “late” in training camp. In the 2025 regular season, just six players earned 150-plus targets. Pierce earned targets at a 17.4 percent rate last year, trailing both WR Josh Downs (22.2 percent) and TE Tyler Warren (21.1 percent) in that area. Pierce is stuck working with the training staff, while Downs trains for the Z-receiver/slot receiver role, and Warren refines his route running after leading the team in targets as a rookie. Simply put, we strongly doubt Pierce’s odds of becoming a top-six NFL target earner. This vote of confidence is a positive for Pierce, and he figures to be Indianapolis’ No. 1 option if healthy, but there are real questions about if he can sustain a major target pace.

According to PFF, Downs has logged 1,561 slot snaps and 448 perimeter snaps over the course of his career. Per Colts coach Shane Steichen, the plan this offseason was to get Downs some reps on the outside in spring practices “and see where that goes.” Downs clearly profiles as the second-best Colts receiver behind Alec Pierce, so it makes plenty of sense to see if he can stick on the field in 12-personnel sets. With Pierce (ankle) still sidelined and on a murky timetable for the beginning of the season, there is also a path for Downs to see a heavy target share if Pierce is sidelined early. Downs has a chance to beat his current WR4 ADP.
