[PIT - WR Diontae Johnson spotted at OTAs on Tuesday](#11) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 1. [KC - QB Patrick Mahomes to spread it around](=) Source: NFL.com - Grant Gordon Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes plans on spreading the ball around more in 2022. 'That's what you're going to see in this offense this year, it's going to be everybody,' Mahomes said. 'It's not going to be one guy. Obviously Travis [Kelce] is still going to get a lot of completions, a lot of yards, but the whole receiving room is going to have big days and that can be something we use to our advantage.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We believe Mahomes. His game took a step forward in terms of patience and "taking what the defense gives him" last year. Kelce is still a handful and Mahomes forces defenses to play more passively, so there should be good outcomes there for Juju Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman, and rookie Skyy Moore. If they all stay healthy, it might be difficult to predict when each will go off, so they are better parts of best ball draft plans than they are in lineup setting leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [DEN - WR Jerry Jeudy's case closing?](=) Source: 9News.com - Mike Klis Denver Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy had a motion, filed by a district attorney, to dismiss the misdemeanor charge of second-degree criminal tampering against him. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jeudy is unlikely to face suspension time in light of this development, but it could cause the league to see him in a harsher light if he is involved in another domestic incident. Early indications are that Courtland Sutton is Russell Wilson's favorite target in his new offense, so Jeudy might be a bit overrated right now in fantasy circles. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [PIT - RB Najee Harris gains 15 pounds]( Source: The Athletic - Mark Kaboly Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris has added 15 pounds to 244 pounds this offseason. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Harris is going to run into more piles with a poor offensive line and an unproven quarterback, so the extra mass and strength may help him push them forward a yard at a time. He is likely to be among the league leaders in running back touches, but the offense will keep him from being an elite fantasy back. He'll still go in the first round of most every fantasy draft. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [TEN - TEN to carry three quarterbacks?]( Source: Music City Miracles - Justin Melo The Tennessee Titans will carry three quarterbacks into the 2022 season, including QBs Ryan Tannehill, Logan Woodside and Malik Willis, Justin Melo of Music City Miracles predicts. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The team might not be ready to trust Willis if Ryan Tannehill goes down, but it isn't like Woodside is proven or even that promising compared to other backups. He has been in the offense for over three years, so the team likely values his knowledge of the offensive scheme and continuity with his teammates. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [HOU - CB Fabian Moreau to Texans]() Source: NFL Network - Mike Garafolo Free-agent CB Fabian Moreau (Falcons) agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Houston Texans Tuesday, May 31. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Moreau started 16 games for the Falcons last year, but they didn't think enough of him to bring him back, choosing to sign Casey Hayward in free agency instead. The Texans are going with #3 overall pick Derek Stingley Jr. and free agent Steven Nelson starting outside and Desmond King and Tavierre Thomas vying for subpackage playing time, so Moreau will probably be injury depth if he makes the team. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [JAX - Jamal Agnew might not be ready]( Source: The Florida Times-Union - John Reid Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jamal Agnew (hip) might not be ready for the start of the season. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Agnew was a favorite of the Urban Meyer offense, with his role growing as the season unfolded, but he might not have as big a role under Doug Pederson, that is when he is healthy.

[TB - DE Akiem Hicks set to call Tampa home]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Free-agent DL Akiem Hicks (Bears) reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth up to $10 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday, May 31. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This means Ndamukong Suh is unlikely to be back with the team. The Bucs also lost Jason Pierre-Paul from their championship defense, but they used each of their last two first picks on defensive linemen, so along with Hicks acquisition, Tampa has made the moves to keep the defensive line a strength despite the losses. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [GB - David Bakhtiari could be ready for camp](=) Source: ESPN.com - Rob Demovsky Green Bay Packers OT David Bakhtiari (knee) will not participate in organized team activities this spring, but head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Tuesday, May 31, that 'our plan all along was to hold him from (OTAs) and get (him) strong and hopefully be ready to go for training camp.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Bakhtiari was only able to return for one game last year following a 2020 ACL tear. Hopefully the extra time off will get him back to 100% going into a Week 1 where the team may not have stud right tackle Elgton Jenkins, who replaced Bakhtiari last year before he also went down with an ACL tear. 2019 UDFA Yosh Nijman was excellent after Jenkins went down, so the team is in good hands depth-wise. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [MIN - WR Dede Westbrook working out for Vikes](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Free-agent WR Dede Westbrook (Vikings) is working out for the Minnesota Vikings Tuesday, May 31. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Westbrook was overshadowed by KJ Osborn last year, but there's still opportunity at the bottom of the Vikings depth chart with Bisi Johnson, 2021 fifth round pick Ihmir Smith-Marsette and this year's sixth rounder Jalen Nailor vying to make the team. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [TEN - Treylon Burks labored in pre-draft workouts]( Source: MMQB - Albert Breer Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks had a 'weight issue' before the 2022 NFL draft and 'labored to get through some' of his private workouts, which was a red flag for teams, according to Albert Breer of MMQB. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We don't want to overreact, but you would have hoped Burks would be in better shape for his first team activities. The Titans ignored question marks about Georgia tackle Isaiah Wilson in the 2020 draft and he didn't last a year with the team. It's reasonable for this to give you pause before taking Burks in a rookie draft and it's a potential problem for the Titans offense, which is counting on Burks to fill the huge shoes of A.J. Brown, who was traded to the Eagles for the pick used to take the rookie + the 101st pick. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [PIT - WR Diontae Johnson spotted at OTAs on Tuesday]() Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Josh Alper Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson was in uniform and participated in organized team activities Tuesday, May 31. Johnson did not take part in OTAs last week, feeling some speculation that he was skipping voluntary work because he was looking for a new contract. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Johnson is not going to get a new deal from the Steelers with the skyrocketing price of #1 wide receivers. The team has a tough choice next year whether to tag Johnson, sign him long term, or let him walk, and the performance of second round pick George Pickens and fourth round pick Calvin Austin III could be a key component in their decision-making process. Johnson will have to swim upstream against mediocre quarterback play to sustain his typical value this year.
