[DEN - QB Deshaun Watson setting sights on Denver?](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson has been recruited by former teammates in countless players across the NFL this offseason, including former Texans teammate and current Denver Broncos DB Kareem Jackson. Appearing on Aqib Talib's podcast recently, Jackson repeatedly said Watson told him he 'wants to be in Denver.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Who knows what is going to happen with Watson, but he's likely done in Houston regardless of how his legal issues come to a conclusion. Expect Watson to be suspended by the league at some point, even if he's cleared of any wrongdoing by the legal system. Per the player conduct policy, Watson is subject to miss time by suspension per league mandate. Once he's out of hot water, Watson will be traded and Denver could be interested...unless they've acquired Aaron Rodgers by that time. Stay tune.

[NYG - Kadarius Toney back to work Wednesday]() Source: ESPN.com - Jordan Raanan New York Giants WR Kadarius Toney (undisclosed) had a 'nice practice' Wednesday, June 9, and continued to show the 'talent that made him a first-rounder,' according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Toney left practice early after slipping on the field multiple times Tuesday, June 8. The rookie is your classic ankle-breaker when it comes to running after the catch. Toney has the potential (and should have the role) to be a 'what the heck' flex option for your fantasy team this year as a rookie if you play in PPR formats. He's got the potential to be more as his pro career goes on, but right now it's best to look at him as a speed slot who can make big plays. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [DAL - WR Michael Gallup working all over offense]() Source: Blogging The Boys Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Gallup has 'taken a big leap forward in his play' and moving all over the formation - including the slot - according to head coach Mike McCarthy. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Gallup is the forgotten man in the Cowboys wide receiver room. He should not be overlooked as the Cowboys offense can support three wide receivers. Gallup can still get plenty of work even with Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb on the depth chart in front of him. He's got a current ADP of WR51 (11.01) in 12-team PPR leagues.

[ARI - Rondale Moore, Arizona finalize rookie pact]() Source: AZCardinals.com - Kyle Odegard Arizona Cardinals second-round pick WR Rondale Moore (Purdue) signed a four-year contract worth a reported $6.9 million - including a $2.9 million signing bonus - on Wednesday, June 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Moore is one of the most explosive players in this draft class. He struggled with injuries in college at Purdue, but when healthy Moore can score from anywhere on the field anytime he touches the ball. The Cardinals have a packed wide receiver room and Moore will try to carve out a role behind guys like DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green and Christian Kirk. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [ATL - WR Calvin Ridley recovering from foot surgery]( Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley (foot) underwent 'minor' foot surgery two weeks ago to address a lingering issue from last season. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reports indicate that Ridley should be fine for the start of training camp. With Julio Jones traded to the Titans, Ridley is the no.1 receiver on the depth chart and projecting him for around 100 catches in 2021 feels right. His ADP has risen because of the Jones trade, and Ridley is going off the board as one of the first five wide receivers selected in fantasy drafts - usually at the turn or somewhere early in the second round.
