Fernando Mendoza, Tyler Shough top NFLPA's Rising Stars list
The NFL Players Association released its annual Rising Stars list on Tuesday and the first overall pick of this year’s draft is one of the players at the top. Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza is No. 1 on the list of the 10 rookies that the NFLPA projects to be future members of the Top 50 list of licensed player product sales. There is also a list of 10 players with NFL experience who have not been on the Top 50 and it is topped by Saints quarterback Tyler Shough. Mendoza is followed on the list by Cowboys safety Caleb Downs, Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love, Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate, Eagles wide receiver Makai Lemon, Commanders linebacker Sonny Styles, Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, Giants linebacker Arvell Reese, Ravens wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane, and Buccaneers edge rusher Rueben Bain. The list of veteran players also includes Bears tight end Colston Loveland, Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker, Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, Dolphins running back De’Von Achane, Bills running back James Cook, and Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez

Four NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year sleepers to consider, including 49ers' De'Zhaun Stribling
With training camps opening up around the NFL this week, one of the main storylines to watch is the rookies. Will quarterback Fernando Mendoza outperform Kirk Cousins on the practice field in Vegas? Could Carnell Tate skyrocket up fantasy big boards by showing he has an automatic connection with Cam Ward ? Since several rookies are about to make headlines, this is a good time to revisit the odds for Offensive Rookie of the Year. You could probably guess the favorites. Over at DraftKings Sportsbook, No. 3 overall pick running back Jeremiyah Love of the Arizona Cardinals has the shortest odds at +400, followed by Mendoza at +425, Tate at +550, New Orleans Saints wideout Jordyn Tyson at +600 and Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price rounding out the top five at +750. But what about some sleepers? Below, we will break down four Offensive Rookie of the Year sleepers to consider. These players will have odds listed outside of the top five with a minimum of +1000. The No. 20 overall pick of the Philadelphia Eagles is the reigning Biletnikoff Award winner, as he caught 79 passes for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns for USC last season. Makai Lemon had four games in which he recorded 150 yards receiving and a touchdown in 2025, which tied a Big Ten single-season record, and recorded the most yards after catch (502) in the conference. Lemon wasn't just a playmaker after the catch, but also a deep-ball weapon. His 16 receptions of 20+ air yards were tied for third-most in the FBS. Lemon isn't A.J. Brown . He's a slot weapon, not a big-bodied perimeter threat. New offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, who played and learned under Sean McVay, could use a reliable playmaker like Lemon as a pillar in his new offense. I think it could be easy to scheme up quick touches for him. As the Brandon Aiyuk saga continues to drag on, it seems very unlikely he will join his former college teammate Jayden Daniels in Washington. The Washington Commanders needed to add another wide receiver to help Terry McLaurin , who is coming off his worst season as a pro, and the most notable addition Adam Peters and Co. made this offseason was Antonio Williams in the third round. Williams leaves Clemson with the fourth-most career receptions (208) in program history, and is tied for the fourth-most receiving touchdowns (21). He caught 15 touchdowns over the last two seasons, which ranks most in the ACC. This is a solid slot weapon that doesn't drop the ball and can create after the catch. He also possesses the vision necessary to create those game-changing splash plays. The only question I have with Williams is his ability to stay healthy, as he missed 12 games due to injury during his collegiate career. But he's someone that could play a big role in Washington's offense if Daniels can also remain healthy. He has a clearer path to picking up touches than another talent like Germie Bernard in Pittsburgh. No one expected De'Zhaun Stribling to be the sixth wide receiver off the board, as he was CBS Sports' WR19 in this class. However, I trust John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, and they clearly wanted this prospect. Stribling is known for his blocking ability and physicality, but he also ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at the combine at 6-foot-2. He caught 55 passes for 811 yards last season for the Ole Miss Rebels and led the team with six receiving touchdowns. He also caught seven passes for 122 yards in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal upset against Georgia. Surely he can find a role in this efficient San Francisco 49ers offensive attack -- and should have the opportunity, too. The 49ers signed soon-to-be 33-year-old Mike Evans , who has missed 12 games over the last two seasons due to injury, and Christian Kirk while losing Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne in free agency. Jennings was the most reliable wide receiver Shanahan had over the past couple of seasons, and Stribling has the potential to wear the hat he did in this scheme. If the 49ers' weapons stru [... truncated ...]

Titans training camp preview: Wide receivers
The Tennessee Titans are heading into training camp with a revamped wide receiver corps. Notable additions include first-round draft pick Carnell Tate and free agent signee Wan'Dale Robinson. Calvin Ridley returns on a new deal, aiming to bounce back from a disappointing season. Chimere Dike is looking to expand his role beyond special teams after a strong rookie showing, potentially challenging Ridley for snaps. Several other players, including Bryce Oliver, Tyren Montgomery, Hank Beatty, Xavier Restrepo, and Mason Kinsey, are competing for the final roster spots

Is Cam Ward already the 2nd-best quarterback in the AFC South?
The Tennessee Titans finished last place in the AFC South last season for the second consecutive campaign. It wasn’t particularly close. The 3-14 Titans trailed the third-place Indianapolis Colts (8-9) by five victories. One thing that could change the Titans’ fortunes in the AFC South is the ascension of quarterback Cam Ward . If Ward establishes himself as a franchise quarterback and legitimate difference-maker, then the Titans should be vastly improved within the division. The question goes begging, where does Ward already rank in the AFC South? Most Titans fans would agree the team’s QB situation is better than the Colts’, with Daniel Jones coming off an Achilles injury, and on a prove-it contract. C.J. Stroud is probably considered the best quarterback in the division, but he hasn’t met expectations after a perfect rookie season. Stroud’s 23 touchdown passes as a rookie in 2023 is still his career high. And then there’s Trevor Lawrence . The former No. 1 overall quarterback has endured a whirlwind of a career. Lawrence struggled under the combative Urban Meyer as a rookie, but appeared to find his stride under Doug Pederson. There were more struggles (and injuries) in 2023 and 2024. Now, he had another great season under Liam Coen in 2025. Most analysts would probably place both Stroud and Lawrence ahead of Ward in AFC South quarterback rankings. Neither the Texans or Jaguars quarterback have been perfect throughout their careers, however. There’s definitely wiggle room for Ward to surpass one (or both) of them in 2026. Hopefully Ward takes the desired step forward in 2026 under Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll. The Titans have invested in his supporting cast, adding weapons like Carnell Tate , Wan’Dale Robinson, and Daniel Bellinger this offseason. Ward possesses every trait needed to establish himself as a top-two quarterback in the AFC South during the 2026 season

Red, White, BOOM! Dynasty Breakout Fireworks in 2026?
It’s the Fourth of July, so what better time to talk about players who could light up fantasy football in 2026? Every year, we have young players who blow up and veterans in new situations with an opportunity to thrive. As managers, identifying these dynasty breakout candidates and buying in before their costs skyrocket is key . Go forth and celebrate this Independence Day with family and friends, and enjoy yourself. And if you want some actionable fantasy advice in between glizzies and adult beverages, check out these 12 dynasty breakout candidates set to explode this season. The drumbeat for last year’s No. 22-overall pick in the NFL Draft is louder than your neighbor’s holiday aerial display. Omarion Hampton played only nine games as a rookie, but we got a glimpse of how good he can be. In those contests, he averaged 15.1 fantasy points per game (FPPG), good for RB12. He rushed for 545 yards and added another 192 through the air on 32 receptions. Omarion Hampton ‘s Advanced Metrics In Year 2, Hampton will surely benefit from the arrival of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, a wizard at designing a run game. He’ll get the bruising back into space, where Hampton can employ that 4.46 speed to zoom past defenders. Everyone is expecting the Chargers to field one of the best offenses in football this season. If that turns out to be the case, Hampton is a major threat to rack up big-time yardage and find paydirt 10-plus times. He will be a top-10 pick in 2027 redrafts if he blows up this season. The setup is there for Carnell Tate to create fireworks right away in his rookie season. The Titans selected him at No. 4 overall in the draft, with visions of him catching deep bomb after deep bomb from quarterback Cam Ward . He may have been “out-alpha’d” by202 rookie Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State, but Tate has all the tools and traits to be an elite receiver in the pros. He’s a big-bodied target who can win downfield and make contested catches look easy. He should start on the outside from the get-go, and has a chance to make an immediate impact in fantasy if he and Ward click early on. Everyone’s favorite guy to take a second-year leap is Luther Burden . It’s not hard to see why — he was a metrics darling as a rookie, and closed the season on a high note. Burden lit up the 49ers in Week 17, racking up eight receptions for 138 yards and a touchdown. Those numbers made him the overall WR1 during fantasy championship week. Luther Burden’s Efficiency Metrics With D.J. Moore now in Buffalo, the table is set for Burden to take on a much larger role. If he builds on a rookie season in which he ranked third in yards per route run (2.79), Burden’s value will shoot up higher than a reloadable mortar. The video highlights from minicamp showed a spry, healthy-looking Quinshon Judkins . That was a little surprising, given the brutal leg injury he’s been rehabbing from. If he’s ahead of schedule and good to go for 2026, it’s wheels up for Cleveland’s 2025 second-round pick. Close look at Quinshon Judkins in RB drills pic.twitter.com/orBHv25xew — Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) May 20, 2026 One thing Judkins has going into Year 2 is the Browns’ soft schedule. They have one of the easiest slates in the league, and that should help keep Judkins on the field and give him plenty of opportunities to pound the rock. We’ll see if Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders can march the offense into scoring position enough for Judkins to pile up touchdowns. If not, achieving consistent RB1 output will be tough. However, if he shows the juice he had at Ole Miss and Ohio State, Judkins can post high-end RB2 numbers and cruise past his current value. Even though he was the third quarterback selected and received early second-round draft capital, the dynasty community did not have high expectations for quarterback Tyler Shough . You could routinely get him at the end of Round 2 or early in Round 3 of superflex rookie drafts last year. Once he finally go [... truncated ...]

Who will lead the Titans in receiving yards in 2026?
The Tennessee Titans totally revamped their wide receiver corps for franchise quarterback Cam Ward this offseason. Mike Borgonzi signed Wan’Dale Robinson to a four-year contract worth $70 million in free agency. The Titans then doubled down at the position by selecting Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft . The Titans have more depth at the position than ever before. They decided to retain former 1,000 yard receiver Calvin Ridley as opposed to making him a salary cap casualty, which is the move everyone expected them to make. Sophomores Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike help round out a stellar room. Tate and Robinson are the overwhelming favorites to be the Titans’ top two receivers. Robinson has essentially spent his entire NFL career playing for new Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. That’s the biggest reason why Borgonzi signed him in free agency. Robinson registered 90+ receptions in consecutive seasons with the New York Giants in 2024 and 2025. Even though Daboll was fired midway through 2025, it was still his offense. Robinson also surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career this past season. Robinson projects as a high-volume weapon in Daboll’s offense. He’ll be a quarterback-friendly target for Ward. That makes Robinson a strong candidate to lead the Titans in receptions, but Tate’s big-play ability could make him the offense’s receiving yards leader. Robinson has a career average of just 9.2 yards per catch, highlighting his strengths underneath the coverage. College is different from the pros, but Tate averaged 15.5 yards per reception at Ohio State, including a career-high 17.2 this past season. Tate does damage in the intermediate and deep areas. The Titans are also highly invested in Tate as the fourth overall pick. Daboll has a history of acquiring premium receivers and making them the focal point of the offense . That’s precisely what he did with Stefon Diggs and Malik Nabers in previous stops

The NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year race beyond Fernando Mendoza
The 2026 NFL Draft offered a new crop of offensive talent and we should expect immediate impact from several skill-position players. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some top betting value options to win the 2026 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Using odds provided by our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, we are going to look at some players who provide strong value to win the award. Keep in mind, we’re looking for the best value and will stay away from favorites; running back Jeremiyah Love of the Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Fernando Mendoza of the Las Vegas Raiders . The wide receiver from Ohio State is tied for the third-best odds to win this award at +650. That’s a solid prize for Tate, who was the No. 4 overall draft pick. The polished Buckeye product was taken a little higher than expected, but it must shows how much the Tennessee Titans believe in him and how much they will be counting on him to help second-year quarterback Cam Ward . Tate will get an immediate chance to be a No. 1 wide receiver and will get the opportunity to put up monster numbers. Monster numbers, of course, win awards. It wouldn’t be a shock if he becomes the fourth wide receiver to win this award in the past six seasons. Price is my favorite bet on this list. He is priced at +850. That’s good value for a player who is in a perfect situation to become the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year. He is on a great team with an excellent coaching staff. The Seahawks drafted Price out of Notre Dame with the last pick in the first round to take the place of Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker, who signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. Price will get plenty of opportunities to compile big numbers. Productive players on winning teams win awards. The think the rest of the league is going to be very upset the Philadelphia Eagles landed Lemon with the No. 20 overall pick, famously trading up to steal him away from the Pittsburgh Steelers . Lemon is a dynamic playmaker who is capable of delivering highlight-reel plays on a weekly basis. The USC product is priced at 15-1. The only thing I’m worried about is whether he will get enough total touches because he likely won’t be a No.1 receiver right away. So, his numbers may not be as big as some of wide receivers. But expect instant excellence. We have to have a quarterback on this list and Beck is the guy. The former Georgia and Miami quarterback was a third-round choice by Arizona. The key for Beck to win this award is for him to win the starting job early and led the Cardinals to a winning record. It won’t be easy, but he’s priced at at a whopping 27-1. That’s worth backing on a quarterback. I think Cooper is going to be an excellent NFL player and he is going to make an early impact. He is worthy lottery ticket at 35-1. He will be challenged by having Geno Smith as his quarterback and playing with Garrett Wilson , who won this award four years ago. But Cooper, an Indiana product, is capable of doing big things as a rookie

Biggest Concerns: After Jeremiah Smith, who’s consistently catching passes from Julian Sayin?
From now until preseason camp starts in August, Land-Grant Holy Land will be writing articles around a different theme every week. This week is all about our Biggest Concerns. You can catch up on all of the Theme Week content here and all of our Biggest Concerns here. Wide Receiver 2 is the most underrated position in football. If a team has a second wide receiver who is crazy talented and can produce at a high level, he can take that team’s offense to another level. We see it throughout the NFL and college football, and we’ve especially seen it at Ohio State. Unfortunately, this year is a little different. After Jeremiah Smith, there’s so much uncertainty at wide receiver on the Buckeyes’ roster and depth chart. That’s a big concern coming into this season. Jeremiah Smith has had a running mate at wide receiver in each of the last two seasons. This season, we don’t know who that’s going to be. Is it going to be Chris Henry Jr.? He’s really the only player Buckeyes fans probably know the most about since his recruitment was highly coveted. If Henry is that WR2, that could be a huge asset to the Buckeyes offense. But if it’s not Henry, who is that WR2 going to be? The names on the roster are ones fans may not know much about yet. It may take them time to develop connections with Julian Sayin. Then again, as we have seen over the year, plenty of wide receivers have emerged as that No. 2 behind the star. Think Carnell Tate, Emeka Egbuka , and even Marvin Harrison Jr. , just to name a few. Somebody will emerge because, well, they just will be the default? That might be a stretch. But the wide receiver pipeline at Ohio State is strong. The standard is the standard. Iron sharpens iron. These new receivers on the Buckeyes’ roster are learning from the best wide receiver in college football. That’s a huge built-in advantage. But there are still major concerns. Will one of these new wide receivers consistently be able to catch passes from Julian Sayin? Opposing defenses are going to, obviously, take Smith out of the game. Who steps up if that happens? That’s a big worry for me going into this season. Sayin has proven that he’s a really good quarterback. But he needs weapons to throw to. Smith is one, but only one. Henry could be that No. 2, and that’d be great. But there’s no guarantee he will be. Playing behind a shaky offensive line already complicates things. That means Sayin will be looking to get the ball out quickly often this season. Having one wide receiver to do that with is good. Two, now that’s a great thing to have to get the ball out quickly. It will keep defenses honest and on their toes, while also potentially neutralizing their pass rushes. Sayin isn’t going to carry the Buckeyes’ receiving corps. That’s why he needs two good receivers to throw to. The lack of a proven WR2 going into this season is a big concern for Ohio State. We have seen many emerge over the years, so that does offer hope. But there are only 12 games for one to emerge. It will be very interesting to see in Fall Camp who emerges as Jeremiah Smith’s running mate

What Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll said at Titans minicamp
The Tennessee Titans are holding their two-day mandatory minicamp this week. Head coach Robert Saleh and his three coordinators spoke at the podium prior to the first practice. We’ve compiled some thoughts and analysis on the most interesting things they said. The hot-topic button has been Ward’s accuracy and general performance throughout OTAs. Saleh called Ward “outstanding” at OTAs heading into minicamp, per Jim Wyatt . It sounds like the Titans’ coaching staff feels the offseason criticism of Ward has been overblown. Saleh doubled down on praising Ward’s performance throughout OTAs. He claimed every quarterback misses throws, and he saw Brock Purdy “ miss plenty of throws ” in San Francisco despite Purdy “being one of the most accurate quarterbacks in football.” Daboll called Carnell Tate “one of the best I’ve worked with as far as picking things up,” per Turron Davenport . Expectations are sky-high for Tate entering his rookie season. The Titans may have solved their WR1 problem. Daboll reiterated that he’s pleased with Ward’s offseason progress. He claimed Ward understands the offense well and has been more accurate at practice than maybe given credit for. Daboll didn’t sound concerned about Ward in this video captured by TD . Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley is very pleased with rookie linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. and the progess he’s made this offseason, per Buck Reising . It feels like Hill could be a major factor for the Titans defense this season. He’s the type of linebacker Saleh covets. Bradley also prasied sophomore safety Kevin Winston, captured by Jim Wyatt . The former Penn State standout will start opposite Amani Hooker this season. Saleh has praised Winston on multiple occasions this offseason. He looks ready to take a step. The Titans should have two competitive practices at mandatory minicamp. Outside of some minor injuries (Femi Oladejo, Calvin Ridley , Cor’Dale Flott among them?), the Titans should have really good attendance at practice
