The Athletic's Zac Jackson writes that Cleveland Browns rookie wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston are "going to play a lot as rookies." Boston has been "one of the standouts" of offseason practices, and both wideouts have "started taking full rotations" with the No. 1 and No. 2 offensive groups in the last two weeks. Second-year wideout Isaiah Bond has been impressive recently, too, and head coach Todd Monken singled him out as a player who has shown improvement this spring. Concepcion and Bond have the kind of speed that the Browns haven't had consistently in recent years at the position. Most fantasy managers in 12-team leagues aren't going to be looking to Cleveland for late-round dart throws at the position, given the uncertainty in the QB competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, but don't be surprised if one or both of Concepcion or Boston become intriguing early-season waiver-wire targets if Jerry Jeudy continues to be underwhelming as the WR1 for the team. The Browns have plenty of draft capital invested in the two rookies, as Concepcion was a first-rounder, and Boston was selected in the second round in April.

The Cincinnati Bengals restructured the contract of quarterback Joe Burrow on Tuesday, creating $10 million in salary cap space, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move was due in part to the cash needed for the trade that landed the Bengals defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence this offseason. The 29-year-old QB has four years left on his five-year, $275 million deal that he signed in September of 2023. Burrow, a three-time Pro Bowler, only played in eight games in 2025 in his sixth year in the NFL, a major disappointment after he led the NFL in attempts (652), completions (460), passing yards (4,918), touchdowns (43), and yards per game (289.3) in 2024. He doesn't have the dual-threat abilities of some of the other elite names at the position, but what Burrow lacks in rushing skills, he makes up for with his arm strength and precision as a passer, and he has one of the best WR corps in the league with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins as his top-two receivers. Burrow is a high-risk/high-reward midrange QB1 target in fantasy football drafts for the 2026 season, and he's currently ranked as RotoBaller's QB5.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) is taking live 11-on-11 reps at minicamp on Tuesday for the first time since suffering a gruesome dislocated ankle in Week 8 of his rookie season last year, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Barring a setback, the 24-year-old former fourth-round pick out of Arizona State should be fully healthy for the start of training camp next month and the Week 1 regular-season opener in 2026 in September. Tyrone Tracy Jr. remains in New York, but Skattebo should be the Giants' primary early-down back in new head coach John Harbaugh's offense, which is expected to feature a bigger emphasis on the ground game. In eight games (five starts) before suffering his season-ending ankle injury in 2025, Skattebo averaged 4.1 yards per carry, 410 rushing yards, and five touchdowns on 101 carries while also catching 24 passes for 207 yards and another two scores. His fantasy stock for 2026 and beyond is on the rise, and Skattebo is currently ranked as the No. 20 RB in fantasy for the upcoming season.

Cleveland Browns long-time offensive lineman Joel Bitonio announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The 34-year-old will hang up his cleats after 12 years in the NFL, all with the Browns. He was selected with the 35th overall pick in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft out of the University of Nevada, and he turned out to be a good one, earning seven Pro Bowl selections and being named to two first-team All-Pro units. Bitonio's seven Pro Bowl selections tied with former pass-rusher Myles Garrett for the fourth-most in Browns history. He was also named the Browns' Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2022. His 178 starts are the most by any Cleveland player since the franchise returned to Cleveland in 1999, and he was the longest-tenured player on the team until his contract voided in March. The Browns will have a much different-looking offensive line in 2026 under new head coach Todd Monken.
