[CAR - Bryce Young makes quick impression]( Source: Charlotte Observer - Mike Kaye Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young demonstrated 'complete control' of the offense during his first practice with the team, according to head coach Frank Reich. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Young is smart and accurate, plus he can keep plays alive with his feet while keeping his eyes downfield. It's no surprise that he can command the offense early in his pro career. As he gets exposed to more of the offense, Young should be able to pick that up quickly and translate it to on-field production. The Panthers and Reich are going to do everything they can to get the most out of Young as a rookie (and beyond). [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [JAX - Contract terms for Tank Bigsby]() Source: KPRC.com - Aaron Wilson Jacksonville Jaguars third-round draft choice RB Tank Bigsby's contract is worth $5.392 million over four years with a $922,120 signing bonus. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Bigsby is not a tank as a runner, but he's an efficient player who has ability in space. In addition to his crisp style as a runner, Bigsby can work well in space as a receiver out of the backfield. Even though he's not a pile-pusher, Bigsby can work on all three downs and has featured back ability. We'll see how the team works him into the offense behind starting RB Travis Etienne. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [DEN - Hopeful RB Williams Can Avoid PUP](=) Source: Cecil Lammey - DenverSports.com Cecil Lammey, from DenverSports.com, reports Denver Broncos HC Sean Payton is hopeful that RB Javonte Williams will not have to be placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp. Payton said that Williams' recovery from his 2022 knee injury is going well. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Great news if Williams can stay on track. There was some question about his availability coming off a more-than-just-an-ACL injury from last year. If Williams has to miss time, the Broncos have Samaje Perine to work as the starter. If Williams is ready for Week 1, expect Denver to employ a RBBC approach featuring both backs (and perhaps rookie RB Jaleel McLaughlin). STay tuned. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CIN - Malachi Carter signed]() Source: SI.com - Jackson Caudell The Cincinnati Bengals announced the signing of undrafted free-agent WR Malachi Carter (Georgia Tech) Friday, May 12. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Carter is an interesting player to monitor because of his skill set and because of the landing spot. He's a tall receiver with long arms who does a good job of tracking passes down the field. Carter needs to add more muscle to his frame, and he needs to be more physical at the catch point. We'll watch him in super crazy deep dynasty formats. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [DET - Keytaon Thompson signed]( Source: Detroit Lions PR The Detroit Lions announced the signing of undrafted free-agent WR Keytaon Thompson (Virginia) Friday, May 12. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thompson is a huge target who can be used on the outside to gather in downfield shots. He ran a limited route tree in college, and Thompson is not explosive off the line of scrimmage. Rather, he's got build-up speed to attack defenses. We'll monitor him in super crazy deep dynasty formats. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [BUF - Dalton Kincaid inks rookie deal](=) Source: Buffalo Bills PR Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid signed a four-year rookie contract Saturday, May 13. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed, and it includes a fifth-year team option. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Kincaid was a fantastic draft pick for the Bills. We think he might be the most talented receiver in this draft class - regardless of position. Kincaid is a weapon that can be a "seam ripper" in the pros. He should immediately become a favorite target of QB Josh Allen, and Fantasy GMs could expect Kincaid to post TE1 numbers as a rookie.

[CLE - Cleveland signs four draft choices](=) Source: ClevelandBrowns.com Cleveland Browns fourth-round draft choice DE Isaiah McGuire, fifth-round draft choice QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, fifth-round draft choice CB Cameron Mitchell and sixth-round draft choice C Luke Wypler signed four-year contracts with the Browns Friday, May 12. Financial terms were not disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thompson-Robinson is an intriguing developmental prospect. He's a scrambler with the arm to work all three levels of the field. His accuracy and mechanics need to be cleaned up, especially when throwing on the run. With proper development, Thompson-Robinson could be a starter in this league. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [DET - Financial details for Hendon Hooker]() Source: KPRC.com - Aaron Wilson Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions third-round draft choice QB Hendon Hooker's contract is worth $5.719 million over four years and includes a $1.159 million signing bonus. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hooker had first-round talent, but he fell to the third round because of a knee injury that cut his final season at Tennessee short. Now, he gets to develop behind QB Jared Goff. If he plays up to his potential, Hooker could be a perennial Pro Bowl quarterback. The natural talent is there, he just needs to stay healthy and get an opportunity. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [NO - New Orleans wraps up three rookie deals](=) Source: NewOrleansSaints.com New Orleans Saints fourth-round draft choice OT Nick Saldiveri (Old Dominion), fifth-round draft choice S Jordan Howden (Minnesota) and sixth-round draft choice WR A.T. Perry (Wake Forest) signed four-year contracts Friday, May 12. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Perry is one of our favorite sleepers in this wide receiver class. He reminds some in the scouting community of Tim Patrick (Broncos), and Perry was impressive during the week of practice for the East-West Shrine Bowl earlier this year. Perry has size, and he's got an incredible "my ball" mentality to rip passes away from smaller defenders. All Dynasty GMs should be monitoring his pro career. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [100% Deposit Match Up To $100 At Underdog Fantasy]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [DEN - RB McLaughlin Making Positive Impression](=) Source: Cecil Lammey - DenverSports.com Cecil Lammey, from DenverSports.com, reports Denver Broncos rookie RB Jaleel McLaughlin made a positive impression at Saturday's rookie minicamp. McLaughlin, undrafted out of Youngstown State, has instant speed to threaten the defense with just a small crease. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Broncos have plenty of power options in their backfield with Javonte Williams as the starter and Samaje Perine as a primary backup. If McLaughlin can make the team, which is a good bet, he can provide the "lightning" to go along with the "thunder" of the two veterans. McLaughlin is a name to remember for all Fantasy GMs in dynasty formats. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [CIN - Cincinnati complete rookie class signings]() Source: Bengals.com Cincinnati Bengals second-round draft choice CB D.J. Turner (Michigan), third-round draft choice S Jordan Battle (Alabama), fourth-round draft choice WR Charlie Jones (Purdue), fifth-round draft choice RB Chase Brown (Illinois), sixth-round draft choices WR Andrei Iosivas (Princeton) and P Brad Robbins (Michigan) and seventh-round draft choice CB D.J. Ivey (Miami, Fla.) signed four-year contracts Friday, May 12. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones is a fast, likely slot-only option with strong hands. We'll see how the Bengals use him in their offense because he can flat-out fly. Brown may be a starting running back in the future. This year, Brown is going to compete to be the primary backup behind starter Joe Mixon. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [DAL - Rookie contract info for Luke Schoonmaker]() Source: KPRC.com - Aaron Wilson Dallas Cowboys second-round draft choice TE Luke Schoonmaker's four-year deal is worth $6.266 million and includes a $1.557 million signing bonus. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Schoonmaker is a huge target, and he's a "Y" tight end that can be utilized as a blocker and as a receiver. He's reliable, and Schoonmaker knows how to use his frame to keep linebackers off his body when a pass is coming to him. We'll see how Schoonmaker does competing against guys like Peyton Hendershot and Jake Ferguson in training camp.
