Dave Kluge makes the case for elevating Amon-Ra St. Brown into the fantasy elite and targeting him aggressively in drafts. [] INSIDE THIS ISSUE 1. [NE - Mike Gesicki works with WRs](#1) 2.

[] 1. [NE - Mike Gesicki works with WRs]( Source: ESPN.com - Mike Reiss New England Patriots TE Mike Gesicki worked out with the receivers at one point during practice Wednesday, May 31. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] If Gesicki is going to make an impact, it will be as a receiver. Hunter Henry is still going to lead Patriots tight ends in snaps and Juju Smith-Schuster should get a healthy amount of snaps in the slot, but Gesicki can function as a big target in the middle of the field. He's not worth taking in typical redraft leagues, but should be monitored in case a change of scenery unlocks his considerable athletic potential. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [WAS - Chris Rodriguez Jr. turning heads]( Source: Commanders.com - Zach Selby Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. has 'impressed his coaches with his skills as a pass-catcher' during OTAs, according to Zach Selby of Commanders.com. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rodriguez's was known more as a power finisher in the mold of Brian Robinson, who is presumably going to back up in the Washington backfield, but if he can add some value in the passing game, his potential value gets a boost. Antonio Gibson has also generated some positive buzz in new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy's scheme, so we need to be watching to how the Commanders game plan in the backfield changes in 2023. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [WAS - Cole Turner stepping up]() Source: Richmond Times-Dispatch - Michael Phillips Washington Commanders TE Cole Turner has 'wowed' during OTAs, according to Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Turner was a fifth round pick last year and got on the field before a concussion slowed his momentum. He's more of an oversized receiver than a true two-way tight end, so we should be monitoring his development as a possible bench stash in tight end premium dynasty leagues. He's unlikely to break out this year because the team has three talented wideouts and Logan Thomas is still the starting tight end, not to mention one of the worst quarterback situations in the league. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [BUF - Ed Oliver inks extension]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Buffalo Bills DT Ed Oliver agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $68 million, according to a source Saturday, June 3. The deal includes $45 million guaranteed and will tie Oliver to Buffalo for the next five seasons. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Oliver hasn't hit his ceiling yet as a former Top 10 pick, but the Bills believe his best football is ahead of him. His contract will be a bargain if that's true. He could make them look smart if he flourishes in an adjusted role in the defense now that head coach Sean McDermott has also taken over as defensive coordinator. Oliver is only 25, so it's not outlandish to think that he'll continue to grow as a player. Gabe Davis is the next player that could get an extension, and this move could also free up cap room to make a run at DeAndre Hopkins.

[] 5. [NYJ - Carter Warren not on field]() Source: ESPN.com - Rich Cimini New York Jets OT Carter Warren (knee) has not been participating in offseason workouts because he is recovering from a knee injury he suffered during college. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Warren is going to be backing up Mekhi Becton and Duane Brown at tackle, two players who are more likely to miss time than they are to play 17 games. Warren protected Kenny Pickett's blindside at Pitt and he might be more pro-ready than a typical fourth-round tackle, but if he's not healthy to begin camp, he might end up starting out as a healthy scratch at swing tackle behind 2022 fourth round pick Max Mitchell. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [NYG - NYG not expected to seriously pursue DeAndre Hopkins](=) Source: FOX Sports - Ralph Vacchiano The New York Giants' interest in free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins (Cardinals) is not expected to go beyond the exploratory stage, according to one team source. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Giants are one of the few teams where Hopkins would be the instant #1 receiver, but he's not a fit for every team culture. The Giants also don't have the urgency to win now like the Bills and Chiefs, or the existing relationship that the Browns have between their quarterback and Hopkins. Cleveland is probably the favorite to get Hopkins followed by the Chiefs, but the lack of a signing at this point means that there is a lack of interest in Hopkins at his asking price, so both sides will play the waiting game until one moves. --------------------------------------------------------------- [100% Deposit Match Up To $100 At Underdog Fantasy]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [NE - Marte Mapu limited]( Source: ESPN.com - Mike Reiss New England Patriots LB Marte Mapu (pectoral) was wearing a no-contact jersey during practice Wednesday, May 31, because he is recovering from pectoral surgery. He may see more playing time this upcoming season because of the injury to LB Raekwon McMillan (Achilles). [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mapu is a safety/linebacker tweener, the kind of player that can stay on the field for all three downs and occupy multiple roles in the defense. He is worth selecting later in dynasty IDP rookie drafts and is flying a little under the radar in fantasy circles. That should continue as long as he's on the mend. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [DET - Levi Onwuzurike may be on field at camp]() Source: Detroit Free Press - Dave Birkett Detroit Lions DT Levi Onwuzurike (back) recently received clearance to start running as part of his rehab, and head coach Dan Campbell said Onwuzurike may be cleared for football activities at some point during training camp. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Onwuzurike was a second round pick in 2021, but he hasn't paid off on the pick yet. He aggravated a back injury in camp last year and ended up having back surgery in October, costing him the entire season. Campbell wasn't able to put a timeline on his return, but said the team is hoping he'll back during camp. The Lions head coach was more pessimistic about Onwuzurike in April, casting doubt on his future in the NFL, so this is good news for the team, who spent another second round pick on a defensive tackle (Brodric Martin) this year.
