  Jets | NY Jets scoop two up off waivers    Tue May 14, 05:02 PM

Free-agent WR Xavier Ubosi (Patriots) and OT Calvin Anderson (Patriots) were claimed off waivers by the New York Jets on Tuesday, May 14. WR DeAngelo Yancey and OT Dieugot Joseph were waived to open up roster spots for the duo.

Footballguys view: If you play in crazy deep dynasty formats, Ubosi is an interesting player to monitor. Measuring in at 6'3" 215 pounds, Ubosi was a bit of a touchdown hog at UAB over the last two seasons. Playing in a run-first offense in college, Ubosi is a project and a long-shot to make the Jets practice squad.

  Packers | DeAngelo Yancey gets first-team reps    Wed Aug 8, 02:40 AM

Green Bay Packers WR DeAngelo Yancey operated out of the slot with the first-team offense in the absence of WR Randall Cobb (ankle) on Tuesday, Aug. 7. Yancey also earned praise during post-practice comments from QB Aaron Rodgers, who said that Yancey 'has really progressed' from last season.

Footballguys view: So far the receivers with more experience in the system - Geronimo Allison and Yancey - and former Cincinnati Bengal practice squad receiver Jake Kumerow have received the best reviews from Rodgers in the battle for the #3 wide receiver spot. The rookies were the subject of his ire after a meeting and probably aren't situated to make an early impact.

  Packers | Green Bay adds to practice squad    Sun Sep 3, 07:28 PM

The Green Bay Packers signed QB Joe Callahan, WR Michael Clark and WR DeAngelo Yancey to their practice squad Sunday, Sept. 3.

Footballguys view: Yancey is a rugged downfield threat who was drafted in the fifth round but couldn't beat out Trevor Davis or Jeff Janis for a roster spot.

  Packers | Jeff Janis could be on the bubble    Fri Jul 21, 02:10 AM

Green Bay Packers WR Jeff Janis could be in danger of not making the team, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky, after the Packers invested draft picks on WRs Malachi Dupre and DeAngelo Yancey as well as the emergence of WR Geronimo Allison. Janis did little as a receiver last season but has been one of their top performers on special teams.

Footballguys view: Every couple of years there emerges a Packers wide receiver fans and fantasy owners are drawn to like a moth to flame. And like that moth, inevitably it all ends in flame and tears. Janis is a guy who Packers fans raved about for several years but who never fulfilled that promise. We have no real expectation that changes this year IF he makes the team, and that won't happen if a hungrier special teams ace emerges. You can safely stop moving towards the flame now otherwise you will get burned.

  Packers | Young Green Bay WRs likely limited    Sun May 14, 09:45 PM

Green Bay Packers WR DeAngelo Yancey and WR Malachi Dupre will likely be limited to special teams duties as rookies because of how much is expected of receivers in Green Bay's offense, according to beat writer Aaron Nagler.

Footballguys view: We could easily see that happening for both Yancey and Dupre. They'll be battling for the fifth spot (at best) on the depth chart in 2017.

  Packers | Green Bay signs five draft choices    Fri May 5, 12:44 PM

Green Bay Packers fifth-round RB Aaron Jones, fifth-round WR DeAngelo Yancey, sixth-round C Kofi Amichia, seventh-round RB Devante Mays and seventh-round WR Malachi Dupre each signed their four-year rookie contracts Friday, May 5.

Footballguys view: Watch out for Jones (Texas-El Paso) from this group. The Packers backfield has undergone some changes this offseason. Eddie Lacy is now in Seattle, and Green Bay selected three RBs in the 2017 NFL draft to compete with Ty Montgomery for snaps at the position. Jamaal Williams (BYU) has power and instincts for running the ball, but Jones has burst and big play ability. The UTEP runner had eight games last year where he broke off a run of 40 or more yards. Williams vs Jones vs Montgomery is going to be interesting to watch unfold in camp.

  Texans | Houston meeting with three prospects    Wed Apr 12, 02:48 PM

Pittsburgh RB James Conner, Western Kentucky OG Forrest Lamp and Purdue WR DeAngelo Yancey are expected to meet with the Houston Texans Wednesday, April 12.

Footballguys view: The Texans have the 25th pick in the first round, and Lamp may be the most likely pick there of these three. Lamp was a starting left tackle for the Hilltoppers, but he'll be transitioned into guard at the pro level.

  Ravens | Baltimore to meet with DeAngelo Yancey    Sat Apr 1, 10:20 AM

Purdue WR DeAngelo Yancey is scheduled to meet with the Baltimore Ravens later this month, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Yancey is a deep threat who can track passes over his shoulder. He has build up speed and can make big plays, but he needs work on the nuances of the position. Yancey is likely to be a late-round pick or priority free agent.

  NFL | DeAngelo Yancey making the rounds    Sun Mar 26, 08:25 PM

Purdue WR DeAngelo Yancey has visits scheduled with the Cincinnati Bengals, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Footballguys view: Yancey is a player teams are likely considering as a late-round pick or priority free agent. He's got deep speed, but it takes him some time to hit that top gear. Yancey does not have the quickness or strength desired to beat press coverage at the line of scrimmage. He's also struggled with drops during his college career.
