NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Friday, July 31, 2026

Mentioned as comparison to McMillan. Commenter notes Wilson is going in same range despite QB concerns, suggesting market may be pricing in QB risk for both.

Mentioned in context of Bryce Young's poor QB play. Commenter notes Garrett Wilson is going in same range as McMillan despite having similar QB concerns (Aaron Rodgers), suggesting QB limitations are priced in for some players.

One commenter prefers McMillan over Collins: 'Im taking him over nico collins.' Suggests McMillan is better value at similar ADP range.

Mentioned in context of Bryce Young's poor QB play. Commenter notes Sam Darnold heavily targeted Jefferson in Minnesota, suggesting good QBs elevate WRs. Used as comparison point for why Young's limitations matter.

Mentioned as superior alternative to McMillan. Commenter notes Waddle is 'the main guy in Denver after Bo just led the league in pass attempts,' suggesting better QB situation and volume opportunity.

Mentioned as alternative to McMillan at similar ADP. Commenter prefers McConkey due to better offensive situation.

2024 Panthers WR2; mentioned as part of weak receiving corps. One commenter: 'No one respects Legette.' Appears to be depth chart fixture but not a major target threat to McMillan.

Season-ending injury removes potential target competitor. Post cites this as positive for McMillan (removes one target threat). However, one commenter notes Brazzell was drafted to play X receiver so McMillan could move into slot (more valuable for fantasy), so his loss is actually a negative: 'losing Brazzell is a negative for him. They drafted Brazzell to play X receiver so they could move Tmac more into the slot.'

Undrafted rookie from small school; emerged late 2024 after quad/hamstring injury cost him 6 games. Weeks 13–18 (including playoffs): 6.0 targets/game, 4.7 rec, 63.2 yards, 0.5 TDs vs. McMillan's 5.5 targets, 3.2 rec, 41.8 yards, 0.3 TDs. Community notes Coker's rise is 'meteoric' and suggests he could eat into McMillan's production with a full season. One commenter: 'You can get Coker for cheaper and save that pick.' Another: 'Coker was clearly the main guy' in final stretch against tough defenses (Bucs x2, Rams x2, Seahawks, Saints). Consensus: Coker's emergence is a legitimate concern for McMillan's target share in 2025.

2024: 3,000 passing yards, 23 TDs; 74% of 46 career starts under 200 yards; 6% of games over 300 yards; 188.2 yards per game in 2024 (career best). Young is the primary limiting factor on McMillan's ceiling. Multiple commenters cite his inconsistency (flashes followed by abysmal stretches), conservative offensive scheme designed to protect him, and loss of starting job to Andy Dalton mid-season (Dalton performed better). One commenter: 'I legitimately don't know if there's been a worse NFL starting QB.' Another: 'He can't get taller and he can't get faster.' Defenders note he showed improvement year-over-year and had clutch moments, but most view 2024 as his ceiling, not a springboard.

Rookie: 70 rec, 1,014 yards, 7 TDs despite weak passing offense. Post projects 85 rec, 1,250 yards, 9 TDs if targets rise 135–145 range; claims top-10 ceiling at WR17 ADP. Community agrees on talent and locked-in target share (Brazzell injury removes competition) but heavily skeptical of breakout: Bryce Young threw for only 3,000 yards and 23 TDs in 2024 (74% of games under 200 yards); McMillan had only 1 WR10+ finish and 5 WR40+ weeks in 2024; Coker outproduced him weeks 13–18 (6.0 vs. 5.5 targets/game); Panthers face 10 top-half passing defenses in 2025 vs. 5 in 2024. Consensus: WR17 is fair value for safe floor (1,000-yard floor likely), but top-10 upside requires Bryce Young improveme...

Third-year wideout Ricky Pearsall may require surgery that would sideline him for the entire 2026 season. This injury opens up additional target share for the 49ers' veteran receivers, particularly Deebo Samuel and Mike Evans.

Mike Evans signed a three-year, $60.4 million deal with the 49ers in the offseason, ending his 12-year tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans expressed enthusiasm about the Samuel signing and the potential for both veteran wideouts to thrive in San Francisco's offense, stating 'Hell of a pickup for us.' The 49ers will rely on both Evans and Samuel as primary targets for Brock Purdy.

Deebo Samuel re-signed with the 49ers on a one-year, $7 million deal after spending the 2025 season with the Washington Commanders. Mike Evans, his new teammate, praised Samuel's versatility and energy, saying 'I think he's gonna bring what he brought before to the team: That energy, that versatility.' The 49ers' wide receiver room has been reshaped with Evans' arrival, and Samuel is expected to reclaim a prominent role in the offense.

Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is holding in at training camp seeking a new contract extension; he missed his third day of practice as negotiations continue. Coach Dan Campbell noted Gibbs was dealing with a minor back issue during conditioning tests but clarified it is not severe. Gibbs remains in the building, attending all meetings and communicating with teammates including wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who acknowledged the team is missing one of its best offensive players but understands the business context.

Rodriguez returned to the field on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a left foot injury on the first day of offseason conditioning. Though fully cleared medically, the Jaguars are being cautious with his workload, limiting him to individual drills rather than team drills. Rodriguez said there are no lingering issues or soreness and is on a schedule to be back for Week 1. Coach Liam Coen signed him as a free agent to toughen up the run game, which was ineffective in the latter part of last season, noting that his best will not be seen until pads come on.

Koziol made a leaping catch over linebacker Ventrell Miller on a throw from backup quarterback Nick Mullens in the final period of Wednesday's practice, showing athleticism and ability to win contested situations.

Meyers delivered the catch of the day on Friday with a diving grab in the back of the end zone against cornerback Jabbar Muhammad, bouncing back after drops in each of the first two practices and showing improved hands in red zone situations.

Boerkircher, the Jaguars' second-round pick (2026) and first draft pick after the Travis Hunter trade, made his first catch of camp in 11-on-11 drills on Friday, snagging a throw from Trevor Lawrence. He was also targeted in the end zone on a throw that safety Caleb Ransaw broke up, showing early involvement in the passing game.

Thomas Jr. had two touchdown catches from Trevor Lawrence in 11-on-11 work on Friday and got open deep for a third touchdown but Lawrence overthrew him, showing strong connection with the quarterback and consistent red zone involvement.

Hunter is locked in as a starting cornerback and is being tracked for dual-position usage in 2026 camp. Through Friday (Day 3), he logged 15 snaps in 11-on-11 work (8 defense, 7 offense) with one catch on two targets on offense, totaling 39 snaps across all periods (24 defense, 15 offense). The camp tracker shows he is actively being deployed on both sides of the ball.

Rodriguez, the Jaguars' free-agent signing in the spring, returned to the field for the first time since suffering a left foot injury on the first day of offseason conditioning. He is fully cleared medically but the team is being cautious with his workload, participating only in individual drills. Rodriguez said there are no lingering issues or soreness and he is on a schedule to be back for Week 1.

Boerkircher, the Jaguars' second-round pick (first of the draft due to the Hunter trade), made his first catch of camp in 11-on-11 drills on Friday, snagging a throw from Trevor Lawrence. He was also targeted in the end zone on a throw that safety Caleb Ransaw broke up, showing early involvement in the passing game.

Thomas Jr. had two touchdown catches from Trevor Lawrence in 11-on-11 work on Friday and got open deep for a third touchdown but Lawrence overthrew him, showing strong connection with the quarterback and red zone opportunity volume early in camp.

Hunter is being tracked across both sides of the ball in 11-on-11 drills; through Friday (Day 3), he has 39 total snaps (24 defense, 15 offense) with one catch on two targets on offense. Day 3 specifically: 15 snaps (8 defense, 7 offense). The Jaguars are monitoring his dual-role workload during camp.

Tracy Jr. was last year's leading rusher for the Giants and is splitting first-team reps with Cam Skattebo at training camp, indicating a potential backfield committee or competition for carries as the workload split has not yet been determined.

Skattebo is returning from an open fracture of his right ankle suffered in October and spent the majority of the offseason rehabbing; he reported feeling 99.9% healthy at training camp, with the remaining 1% coming when he puts on shoulder pads and makes contact, indicating strong recovery trajectory from a serious injury.

Skattebo has been first up during live drills at training camp the first three days despite splitting first-team reps with last year's leading rusher Tyrone Tracy Jr., signaling the Giants have big plans for him; the team favors his aggressive, physical style that fits Harbaugh's smashmouth football approach.

Tucker Kraft on what his doctor told him about his ACL: "He told me my knee looks spectacular, almost like he had never seen a rehabilitation like mine."

Horton's health warrants closer monitoring moving forward given his collegiate career ended with a knee injury and subsequent surgery, adding context to the durability concerns despite his strong recovery from the tibia fracture.

Horton's rookie season production—six touchdowns in eight games including a 95-yard punt return for a touchdown and two-touchdown performance against the Commanders—demonstrated the upside that made him a fifth-round steal, and he has been eager and quick to showcase that same talent during second-year training camp.

Horton revealed his season-ending shin injury from his rookie year was a tibia crack that began in Week 3 but wasn't diagnosed until Week 9; he had surgery to place a rod in it after the Super Bowl. Despite the fracture, he scored two touchdowns against the Commanders in Week 9 and recovered well enough to avoid PUP at the start of his second training camp, positioning him to be ready for Week 1.

Second-year Seahawks receiver Tory Horton revealed his season-ending shin injury from last year was a cracked tibia that began in Week 3 but went undiagnosed until Week 9; he played through it for six weeks, including a two-touchdown performance against the Commanders on the fractured bone, before undergoing surgery to place a rod in the tibia after the Super Bowl. He avoided PUP at the start of training camp and is on track for Week 1 of his second season, though his injury history (collegiate knee injury and surgery) warrants continued health monitoring.

Nicholas Moreano noted it was "the Caleb Williams, Colston Loveland show on Friday at Halas Hall," with Williams connecting with Loveland on three of his last four passes, including a 14-yard seam route touchdown. The connection demonstrated chemistry and Loveland's ability to be in the right spot when Williams expected him there.

Deebo Samuel had other options to sign with (Colts were one), but ultimately decided to sign with the 49ers because of how productive he was with them, the 1-year up to $7M in salary, and because Ricky Pearsall has a status “in doubt” now, per @​RapSheet

The Broncos re-signed Dobbins in the offseason despite his injury history. Head coach Sean Payton stated: 'There's a lot to him, and when you're evaluating the type of injury he had, how it happened, and what he brings to the team, we had strong opinions (General Manager) George (Paton) and I, and the rest of the group about re-signing him.' This indicates Dobbins remains the team's lead back going into 2026.

Head coach Sean Payton emphasized Dobbins' importance to the Broncos offense, stating that 'He was a big part of why we won 14 games last year' and that 'what we were able to do when he was healthy had a lot to do with where we ended up.' Payton also noted that the running back room 'has gotten markedly better from what I remember in 2023,' indicating Dobbins remains a key piece of the offense.

Dobbins made a pinky promise that he will play all 17 games in 2026 without injuries, stating: 'This year, there won't be any (injuries). There won't be anything for anyone to say about my injuries because I'm going to play all 17 games, and I'm going to give my team everything I've got for all 17 games.' He attributed his previous injury issues to lost flexibility and being off his college weight, which he has now corrected through training and conditioning work.

Dobbins made a bold claim at Broncos training camp that he will be the number one rushing RB in the NFL in 2026 and maintain that ranking for all 17 games. He stated: 'I'm going to be No. 1. And I'm going to keep it there for the whole year. Seventeen games.' This represents a significant projection statement from the player himself about his 2026 performance.

Dobbins has made specific changes to address his injury history, including regaining flexibility he lost when younger and returning to his college weight. He explained: "When I was younger, I could do the splits. I think I lost a little bit of that flexibility; I just wasn't paying attention to it as much. Now I'm back to that. And back to my college weight. And I'm doing all the little things." He also referenced a superstition about his three major injuries (knee, Achilles, foot) all occurring on his left leg, suggesting that injury cycle is complete: "All on my left leg, I've had the knee, the Achilles, and the foot. It's over."

The source notes that Dobbins will play a crucial role in the success of the Broncos offense this season, specifically regarding his health and staying on the field. Prior to his Lisfranc injury against Las Vegas, Dobbins was one of the best running backs in the NFL. Head coach Sean Payton emphasized his value: "He was a big part of why we won 14 games last year, and sometimes that can get lost in the narrative. Certainly, he's been injured, and yet what we were able to do when he was healthy had a lot to do with where we ended up." Payton also stated: "I believe in the player a lot."

Dobbins made a bold claim during Broncos training camp that he will be the number one rushing RB in the NFL in 2026, committing to play all 17 games and end his injury curse. He stated: "I'm gonna be number one, and I'm gonna keep it there for the whole year. 17 games." and "This year, there won't be any (injuries)." Dobbins acknowledged skepticism from people who say he's good for the first 10 weeks, but promised to finish the season as the top rushing back.

Deebo Samuel had options in Free Agency, per @​RapSheet One of the teams? The Colts.

Two HUGE things: 1) Deebo had an option with the Colts 2) Ricky Pearsall’s status is in doubt now (probably not playing) Take: Think it’s very likely Colts sign a WR given this - probably Keenan Allen. Not drafting Pearsall.

After posting career highs of 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025, Pickens is set to play 2026 on a $27.3 million franchise tag; coach Brian Schottenheimer noted Pickens was 'as dialed in in meetings as I've seen him since he's been here' and predicted 'you're going to see a very motivated George Pickens going into the season,' suggesting improved focus and engagement that could translate to continued or elevated production.

Minutes later, he was late turning his head to locate Mahomes' pass on an intermediate route, leading to an incompletion. Coach Andy Reid acknowledged Royals has "a good feel for the game" but needs to continue building reps and developing chemistry with Mahomes. Royals is competing for the No. 4 receiver role against Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio.

Receiver was part of a disappointing performance by the Chiefs' receiver group during Wednesday's first full-team practice. Thornton dropped a pass from Patrick Mahomes early in the 11-on-11 period when he was open in the middle of the field. He also made a nifty interception against Mahomes in the 7-on-7 red zone period when cornerback Nohl Williams jumped in front of him inside the end zone.

Running back is being featured in the Chiefs' offensive scheme with increased opportunities to carry the ball between the tackles, his preferred running style. The offense is experimenting with more under-center looks to showcase Walker's between-the-tackles ability. Center Creed Humphrey praised Walker as "a dynamic player, a freak athlete and great with his reads." Mahomes was also pleased with a screen pass to Walker from shotgun that resulted in the running back having plenty of open field to gain additional yards. The Chiefs are getting reps with Walker and other new backs to build cohesion in the screen game.

Quarterback is fully cleared for camp and feeling "amazing" after recovering from his left knee injury. During early camp practices, Mahomes demonstrated improved mobility, rolling to his left and right before throwing downfield at a faster pace than displayed during the offseason program. He is expected to be in the huddle with projected offensive starters (Travis Kelce, Kenneth Walker III, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton) when the Chiefs open Wednesday's full-team work. Mahomes also showed comfort executing play-action passes and screen passes, with the offense experimenting with increased under-center looks (11-on-11 reps showed him under center more than half the time Thursday, compared to 80.6% shotgun usage last season).

Undrafted rookie tight end John Michael Gyllenborg has been placed on the injured reserve list with a knee injury, ending his season before camp fully commenced. The injury eliminates Gyllenborg from competing for a roster spot.

Receiver Rashee Rice left Wednesday's practice after his individual period to have a rehab day with the training staff inside the indoor facility. Coach Andy Reid characterized the decision as "all positive and it was planned," indicating a cautious approach to ramping up Rice's workload during camp. Rice is expected to be among the projected starting receivers for the 2026 season.

Receiver Xavier Worthy was featured in one of Patrick Mahomes' best plays during Thursday's practice, when he completed a deep pass against a Cover 0 blitz. Worthy sprinted away from cornerback Kader Kohou and into the end zone for a 50-yard touchdown, demonstrating his ability to create separation and execute on explosive plays. Worthy is among the projected starting receivers for the 2026 season.

Rookie receiver Cyrus Allen, the Chiefs' fifth-round pick, was the standout performer during Wednesday's first full-team practice. Allen got open quickly against zone coverage on two reps, including one inside the red zone during the 7-on-7 period. Coach Andy Reid praised Allen, saying "Cyrus had a good day. I think Pat's got some trust there. We've got a long way to go, but he's just got to keep going, keep growing. He's got talent and he's been able to retain [information]." Allen made a leaping catch in the back of the end zone between two defenders during Sunday's 7-on-7 red zone period. He is competing for the No. 4 receiver role against second-year player Jalen Royals and Nikko Remigio, leveraging his route-running ability as a key strength.

Second-year receiver Jalen Royals was the most disappointing performer during Wednesday's first full-team practice. He fumbled a few steps after catching a perimeter pass when safety Chamarri Conner punched the ball out, resulting in a turnover. Minutes later, Royals was late turning his head to locate Mahomes' pass on an intermediate route, leading to an incompletion. Coach Andy Reid acknowledged Royals has "a good feel for the game" but emphasized he "just got to keep on with the reps and make sure he's got a good relationship there with Pat and keeps developing that." Royals is competing for the No. 4 receiver role against rookies Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio.

Receiver Tyquan Thornton had a disappointing first full-team practice Wednesday, dropping a pass from Patrick Mahomes on the opening play of the 11-on-11 period when he was open in the middle of the field. Despite being listed among the projected starting receivers alongside Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Kenneth Walker III, Thornton's early camp performance has been inconsistent.

Running back is benefiting from the Chiefs' increased under-center formations, which allow coach Andy Reid to evaluate his preferred running style—carrying the ball between the tackles. Mahomes and center Creed Humphrey both praised Walker's athleticism and playmaking; Humphrey called him "a dynamic player, a freak athlete and great with his reads." Walker also impressed on a screen pass from shotgun during second-team reps, gaining significant open-field yardage. The Chiefs are getting reps with Walker and other new backs to build cohesion in the screen game.

The Chiefs are experimenting with increased under-center formations with Mahomes, a notable shift from last season when he operated from shotgun in 80.6% of snaps (third-most in NFL). During Thursday's practice, Mahomes was under center more than half the time during first-team 11-on-11 reps, allowing coach Andy Reid to evaluate his play-action execution and running back Kenneth Walker III's between-the-tackles running. Mahomes demonstrated improved mobility during individual periods, rolling left and right before throwing downfield while continuing to rehab from his left knee injury. He is expected to be fully operational with the projected starting offense beginning Wednesday's full-team session.

Quarterback praised third-year wide receiver Roman Wilson, stating he has shown "a lot of great tape" to the new staff and had "a really nice spring."

This suggests Pittman is engaged in the new coaching philosophy and expects the team to benefit from the situational focus.

Mason Rudolph participated in two-minute drill work at camp, throwing to receivers including Pat Freiermuth and others. Rudolph emphasized the importance of practicing situational football, noting that "more than half of their games would come down to those crucial situations" and that daily two-minute reps build confidence in concepts.

Coach Mike McCarthy indicated plans to expand his usage to the outside as well, citing Wilson's vertical speed and ability on the numbers route (called "the Autobahn"), describing him as having "an excellent skill set for that." This suggests increased versatility and potential role expansion for the third-year wide receiver.
