DeAndre Hopkins News
Thursday, June 25, 11:08 AM
Veteran free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins said on Sirius XM NFL Radio on Wednesday that "going into Year 14, I would love to play for a competitor." However, Hopkins also indicated that he's not in a rush to join a team this offseason, with about a month until training camps kick off around the league. The 34-year-old former 27th overall pick by the Houston Texans in the 1013 NFL draft out of the University of Clemson has been named to five Pro Bowls and three first-team All-Pro units in his 13 years in the league, but he acknowledged that he's merely a part-time player at this point of his career. In 17 games (three starts) with the Baltimore Ravens in 2025, Hopkins had only 22 receptions on 39 targets for 330 yards and two touchdowns. His last 1,000-yard campaign came in 2023 with the Tennessee Titans. Nuk might not latch on with a new team before the start of the 2026 regular season this fall, but if the right situation arises, he could become an interesting third-down/red-zone weapon for a contending team.

Ladd McConkey News
Tuesday, June 16, 3:16 PM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hamstring) said he strained his left hamstring during Phase 2 of the team's offseason program, but he doesn't view it as a significant concern and expects to be ready for the start of training camp in late July, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said that McConkey is "working through something," but that he will take part in individual drills during this week's mandatory minicamp. The 24-year-old burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2024 after the Bolts took him with the 34th overall pick in the second round in 2024 out of the University of Georgia, catching 82 of his 112 targets for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games. McConkey took a slight step back as a sophomore, though, finishing with a 66-789-6 line on 106 targets across 16 regular-season games. In his first year in new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme, McConkey could be headed for another big year, making him a strong WR2 target in fantasy drafts, especially in PPR formats.
