We’re deep into the NFL offseason in June and the final round of minicamps got going this week. Among those teams are the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams, New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks. Last week, the majority of the NFL held their minicamps and we got a flurry of news bits that helped shed some light on potential fantasy football storylines going into 2025. Below, we’re going to go over news coming out of this week’s minicamps and how that information might impact fantasy football for the upcoming season.
Be sure to follow along here for live updates from minicamps this week.
Hollywood Healthy
The Kansas City Chiefs were able to make it all the way to the Super Bowl last season with a revolving door at wide receiver. That group included rookie Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Justin Watson and Hollywood Brown. The last name on that list, Brown only played in two regular-season games last season due to a shoulder injury. At the start of minicamp, Brown told reporters he’s “100% healthy” going into 2025.

Hollywood is an interesting sleeper going into 2025. Rice is coming off a major knee injury even if he starts the season healthy. Worthy showed big flashes of upside as a rookie, but can he be a true No. 1 option for QB Patrick Mahomes? Travis Kelce is still Travis Kelce but he’s seen a slow decline over the past two seasons and could be thinking retirement soon. So, there’s a path to Brown being the No. 1 WR option for Mahomes in an elite offense. Yahoo’s analysts have Hollywood ranked 59th among WRs going into 2025.
Nabers expected to be ready for training camp
Last week, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll told reporters he wasn’t concerned about WR Malik Nabers’ toe injury. Daboll echoed those statements during the Giants’ minicamp this week, stating the injury isn’t anything that should be “long-term” and Nabers is expected to be ready for training camp in July. It’s still a bit sketchy that Nabers isn’t on the field right now given how much time he’s had to nurse the injury. Plus, this could all be coachspeak from Daboll. But we’ll take his word for it right now.

We’re putting this at a medium because of what the other side of this news would have meant, if that makes sense. If Daboll had come out and said Nabers would miss parts of training camp, we’d be on red alert. Nabers appears fine but we also want to see him on the field come July. If that’s the case, we can put all of this injury-scare stuff to rest. But until then, we’re going to continue to keep our eye on the situation.
Giants QBs looking good so far
If Nabers is good to go to start the season, whoever is throwing him the ball will be a major upgrade, it seems. QBs Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston were brought in this offseason and the Giants also drafted QB Jaxson Dart in the first round in 2025. All three have looked good at practice so far.
Wilson will 100% begin the season as the starter. We could see a situation where Dart gets some playing time late in the season if New York isn’t in the playoff picture. Either way, the Giants truly haven’t had a real QB starting since Eli Manning in 2018.

Again, a lot of the news coming out is a bit knee-jerk-ish and it’s early in the summer. But if the Giants can get average QB play, it could be huge for fantasy purposes. We saw what Nabers did with a combination of Daniel Jones, Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito last season — 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. If the Giants can keep Wilson upright, Nabers’ ceiling could be the top wideout in fantasy football.

It also could thrust WR2 Wan’Dale Robinson into fantasy relevancy. Robinson was quietly WR42 last season with 93 catches on 140 targets for 699 yards and three TDs. With decent QB play, Robinson could spend most of the season as a viable FLEX option in most PPR formats. WR Jalin Hyatt, who was injured during practice this week, and TE Theo Johnson, also could become appealing sleeper picks in deeper leagues.
Kyren Williams, Rams progressing in contract talks
Williams is entering the final year of his rookie contract and can become a free agent after 2025. He was able to steal the backfield in 2023, finishing with 1,144 yards and 12 TDs while leading the NFL in rushing yards per game (95.3). He followed that campaign up with career highs across the board — 316 carries for 1,299 yards and 14 TDs in 2024. The two sides are working to get a deal done before the season but it’s unclear if that will come to fruition.

Fantasy impact: Low
This is low but one report could change things quickly. Williams isn’t going anywhere this season. If the Rams choose not to extend him, he could get a franchise tag next offseason. Either way, Williams could be playing for a contract, which may up his game for 2025. It also could mean the Rams want to see what they have in second-year back Blake Corum, who didn’t get much work as a rookie.
Los Angeles also added a RB via the 2025 draft in Jarquez Hunter. Not to say Corum and Hunter are a threat to Williams. Chances are Williams gets extended and continues to be a top-10 fantasy back. We also know how NFL franchises have treated top RBs recently when it comes to contracts. If this thing goes south, it could have a big impact. For now, it doesn’t.

Slovenský reprezentant podepsal smlouvu se dvěma kluby, půl roku si nezahraje
Jako poškozený se na komisi na konci května obrátil Slovan Bratislava. Devítinásobný slovenský mistr totiž včas odhalil Pišojův talent a na začátku loňského prosince s ním podepsal smlouvu na dva roky, která měla nabýt platnosti od letošního května.Jenže mladý obránce o půl roku později prodloužil na stejné období kontrakt se Zvolenem, aniž by zrušil předchozí podepsanou smlouvu se Slovanem.„Milan Pišoja se uznává vinným ze spáchání disciplinárního provinění: Nezodpovědný přístup hokejisty při přestupu. Slovenský svaz ledního hokeje (SZLH) mu ukládá nepodmíněný trest zastavení výkonu sportovní činnosti na šest měsíců, a to s účinností od 17. června 2025,“ stojí v komuniké SZLH.Pišoja navíc musí zaplatit 100 eur za to, že se disciplinárka tímto případem musela zabývat. Komise také začala na žádost Slovanu řízení vůči Zvolenu.Rodák z Považské Bystrice si tak na půl roku sám přibrzdil kariéru. Tu má přitom slušně rozjetou.

Mathys Tel might just have the makings of an ideal Thomas Frank winger
Thomas Frank’s spell at Brentford will be remembered for many things.First and foremost, he took the west London club, who were in League One as recently as 2013-14, to the Premier League for the first time. Once they reached England’s top flight, he was the primary figure in ensuring they stayed there, reinforcing their reputation as one of the country’s best-run clubs. And, perhaps most importantly for Tottenham Hotspur, he developed a group of talented young players into Premier League stars.AdvertisementOllie Watkins, Said Benrahma, Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa are now all international regulars, having made their names at Brentford. Now, he is challenged with doing the same for the catalogue of young players at his disposal in north London.Mathys Tel is the most recent addition to a promising group of youngsters, including Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert and […]
Gattuso is loved in Italy as a World Cup winner and for being who he is. Will that be enough?
Claudio Ranieri stepped out for the press conference in Rome. As he pulled back a chair and the cameras flashed, a mischievous smile appeared on his face.For once, Ranieri was not being unveiled as a new coach. Instead, he was the one doing the unveiling.Beside him was Gian Piero Gasperini, his successor at Roma. Ranieri leaned into the microphone like a stand-up comedian. He had a joke to crack.Advertisement“Hello everyone,” he said. “I think this is the first time you get to see two coaches (at one press conference). But don’t be confused, eh. I still have a contract until June 30, so…”The gag went down well. Everybody laughed. But it fell flat elsewhere in the city — the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) was still getting over Ranieri’s decision to turn down their offer to take over the national team.Its […]
Arsenal transfer quiz: A January injury, Emery’s legacy and Arteta’s Brazilians
The transfer window is open and Arsenal are closing in on several targets, most notably midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad but also goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, while they still pursue a centre-forward as their priority.As reported in the Transfer DealSheet on Tuesday, little has changed on the forward front with Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko being tracked to fill that spot. They are also looking at bringing in a wide player, with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo of particular interest. Despite the lack of movement, it is only mid-June and the window remains open for several months yet. a.showcase-link-container { display: flex; gap: 20px; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; padding: 20px 0px; border-top: 1px solid rgba(150, 150, 147, 0.4); border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(150, 150, 147, 0.4); text-decoration: none; color: #121212; cursor: pointer; .showcase-link { font-family: nyt-franklin; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: […]
Češky čeká na ME klíčový souboj o čtvrtfinále
„Moc o Portugalkách nevím, půjde ale o jiný zápas než proti Černé Hoře,“ přemítala kapitánka českého výběru Tereza Vyoralová a s jejími slovy souhlasila i jedna z hvězd úvodního klání proti Černé Hoře Veronika Voráčková. „Určitě předvedou mnohem víc emocí a agresivity než Černohorky. Je to zápas všechno, nebo nic,“ shrnula rozehrávačka Voráčková po čtvrteční jasné výhře českého týmu proti nečekaně odevzdaným Černohorkám. To od Portugalek se očekává velký zápal, vždyť hrají svůj premiérový evropský šampionát. Do něj podle předpokladů vstoupily vysokou prohrou 52:81 s obhájkyněmi titulu Belgií, ale v přípravě před turnajem naznačily své možnosti, když potrápily Španělky i Slovinky a dvakrát porazily Švýcarky. I proto jim už těsně před turnajem sázkové kanceláře dávaly větší naděje na postup ze skupiny než Černohorkám.„Bude se hrát ve velké intenzitě, musíme po vysoké výhře nastavit hlavy tak, abychom byly připravené, může to být zrádné,“ varovala trenérka českého výběru Romana Ptáčková.Její svěřenkyně budou ale […]
