  Jets | Frankie Hammond may be top punt returner    Fri Jun 23, 06:28 PM

New York Jets WR Frankie Hammond Jr. appears to be the leading candidate for the punt returner job at this point, but RB Elijah McGuire could win the job if he performs well during training camp.

Footballguys view: We like the upside of McGuire in this situation. This is a battle that will play itself out in training camp.

New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire, WR Jalin Marshall and WR Frankie Hammond Jr. are expected to be kick and punt return options during training camp, but the team could also look to add a veteran returner at some point.

  Jets | Frankie Hammond heads to Jets    Mon Jan 23, 10:47 AM

Free-agent WR Frankie Hammond Jr. (Chiefs) signed a future contract with the New York Jets Monday, Jan. 23.

Footballguys view: Hammond was out of the league in 2016. He was mainly a special teams player during his time with the Chiefs, and that's how he'll have to win a spot with the Jets in 2017.

  Chiefs | Two players sign tenders    Mon Apr 20, 05:31 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WRs Frankie Hammond Jr. and Junior Hemingway signed their exclusive rights free-agent tenders Monday, April 20.

Footballguys view: Awesome, more pedestrian wide receivers for the Chiefs. They need to upgrade the position, and that's why they went out and got Jeremy Maclin in free agency this offseason. Even with the addition of Maclin, we think the Chiefs draft a wide receiver with a premium pick in this talent-rich WR class. Hammond and Hemingway will fight for reserve positions and have little fantasy value.

  Chiefs | Frankie Hammond to start    Fri Nov 14, 06:41 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Frankie Hammond Jr. will start at wide receiver in Week 11 because of the injuries to WRs Donnie Avery (groin) and A.J. Jenkins (shoulder).

Footballguys view: This shows how poor the Chiefs are at the wide receiver position. Hammond was an undrafted free agent coming out of the University of Florida in 2013. The former college track star has speed to get by defenders, but he's raw as a receiver. In a tough matchup against the Seahawks in Week 11, we're not expecting much from any asset in the Chiefs passing game.

  Chiefs | Frankie Hammond to start    Wed Aug 27, 08:25 AM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Frankie Hammond Jr. is likely to start in place of suspended WR Dwayne Bowe in Week 1.

Footballguys view: Hammond is a good pickup in deep dynasty to see if he hits in Week 1 to earn a larger role going forward in a very thin Chiefs wide receiver corps. The former Florida receiver has good straight line speed and quickness and could be an upgrade from Donnie Avery if Avery can't get over the dropsies that have plagued his career.

  Chiefs | Make roster moves to get to 53-man roster    Sat Aug 31, 07:51 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs have released OT Steven Baker, WR Josh Bellamy, S Malcolm Bronson, S Greg Castillo, CB Kennard Cox, DE Marcus Dixon, OL Tommie Draheim, LB Darin Drakeford, RB Shaun Draughn, WR Frankie Hammond Jr., TE Demetrius Harris, S Tysyn Hartman, DE Austen Lane, LB Orie Lemon, CB Semaj Moody, FB Toben Opurum, OT Matt Reynolds, WR Rico Richardson, OG Rokevious Watkins and LB Ridge Wilson. The team also waived injured TE Tony Moeaki (shoulder) and OG Ricky Henry (undisclosed).

Footballguys view: Getting rid of Moeaki isn't that big of a surprise. He can't stay healthy and the team is moving on with Anthony Fasano and rookie Travis Kelce at the position.
