Tyquan Thornton News
Tuesday, March 10, 1:40 PM
The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed wide receiver Tyquan Thornton to a two-year, $11 million deal on Monday night, and ESPN's Nate Taylor thinks the Chiefs "should be able to offer him more snaps and more opportunities." The 25-year-old was one of KC's best receivers in 2025, especially early on when both Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) were out. Thornton had a career-high 438 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 19 catches in his first year working with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. "He's the GOAT in my eyes, man," Thornton said of Mahomes. "He's a competitor, and he makes me so much better. It was an honor to go out there and catch those passes from him." As things currently stand, Thornton looks like the WR3 behind Rice and Worthy. His big-play potential is intriguing, though, as a late-round flier in what should be an improved Chiefs offense.

Isaac TeSlaa News
Tuesday, June 16, 6:32 PM
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell was very complimentary of second-year wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa and where he's heading going into Year 2 in 2026, according to Tim Twentyman of the team's official website. The head coach said that TeSlaa has looked "like a consistent veteran this offseason" and is excited about where he's headed. The 24-year-old was selected with the 70th overall pick (third round) last year out of the University of Arkansas. In his first NFL season, TeSlaa had 16 catches for 239 yards and six touchdowns on 27 targets over 17 games played (three starts). Detroit added veteran wideouts Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Greg Dortch in free agency this offseason, but TeSlaa should have an elevated role for the Lions in Year 2 as the WR3 behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. The 6-foot-4, 214-pounder isn't an athletic freak by any means, but he proved to have a nose for the end zone in 2025. Volume could be an issue again, making TeSlaa a late-round target in fantasy football drafts this fall with upside if the Lions give him more responsibilities outside the red zone.
