NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Tuesday, August 4, 2026

"Jeremiah Trotter Jr. knocked down a pass intended for Tank Bigsby. Later, Bigsby shook Trot Jr. by stutter stepping left before cutting right for a wide open catch."

Patriots quarterback must build chemistry with center Jared Wilson quickly; Wilson emphasized that establishing the center-quarterback connection requires consistent reps and communication as Wilson transitions back to center in Year 2.

Cyrus Allen leads 2026 NFL rookies already generating fantasy football buzz in training camps, indicating early standout performance and potential fantasy relevance as a rookie.

Tucker Kraft is being monitored for early ADP movement going into the 2026 draft season by fantasy analysts tracking player valuation trends.

Malik Nabers is being monitored for early ADP movement going into the 2026 draft season by fantasy analysts tracking player valuation trends.

Jeanty's 2026 fantasy outlook is framed as the ultimate buy-low, sell-high argument of draft season; his rookie year did not match the hype, causing half the league to sour on him, while the other half sees a generational talent stuck behind the worst offense in football and about to explode.

Smith-Njigba was the face of the Seattle Seahawks last season and was a common name on fantasy football teams that succeeded at the highest levels; the industry is moving him into the top tier of assets this summer, though context exists worth considering regarding his elite classification.

.@​BleacherReport ranks Mike Evans as just the 33rd-best WR in the NFL... 😶 "When healthy, Evans wins one-on-one matches with veteran-level savvy and route-running. He lost a step athletically, but his football IQ and nuance at the position overcome those shortcomings."

me and my dynasty rookie $1 FAAB add Cyrus Allen

An audible murmur from the crowd here in Eagan after J.J. McCarthy overthrows three consecutive passes to the corner in a goal line drill with no defense. (He rebounded with more accurate throws in the next set of reps.)

Wide receiver Tre Harris is one of the primary beneficiaries of Mike McDaniel's offensive system with the Chargers. During training camp, Herbert was getting the ball to Harris quickly and accurately, with the offense focused on positioning receivers to turn plays upfield and create after the catch.

Wide receiver Ladd McConkey is one of the primary beneficiaries of Mike McDaniel's offensive system with the Chargers. During training camp, Herbert was getting the ball to McConkey quickly and accurately, with the offense focused on positioning receivers to turn plays upfield and create after the catch.

Herbert's postseason performance has been a significant crater compared to his regular-season brilliance. In the playoffs during his career, he has completed just 54.7 percent of his passes with four interceptions against two touchdowns, with a passer rating that drops from 96.3 in the regular season to 64.7 in the postseason. The Chargers are 0-3 in the playoffs during his career, and Herbert has been part of the reason for these failures.

Herbert displayed elite arm talent and command at Chargers training camp, throwing receivers open with quick, effortless, precise delivery and dictating terms against a secondary that allowed the fifth-fewest yards in the NFL last season. The source notes his rare combination of arm talent, intelligence, and ability to create plays with both legs and mind position him for potential breakthrough, especially with Mike McDaniel's offensive system designed to maximize his processing, anticipation, and precision delivery.

Alec Pierce had an 18.5% target share on a 20.0 aDOT in Weeks 1-13 last year (i.e. pre-Daniel Jones injury). His 47.6% share of team air yards (min. 50% games played) ranked third league-wide during that stretch behind JSN and Garrett Wilson. He got $114 million this offseason.

The source discusses James Conner in the context of the Arizona Cardinals' offensive outlook and team performance expectations.

The source highlights Ashton Jeanty as a fantasy star to watch, emphasizing the importance of betting on his team environment for potential breakout performance.

Isaiah Williams provides depth in the Jets' receiving corps alongside elite talent Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and rookie Omar Cooper Jr.

Tim Patrick provides depth in the Jets' receiving corps alongside elite talent Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and rookie Omar Cooper Jr.

Rookie Omar Cooper Jr., fresh off a national championship at Indiana, is part of the Jets' elite receiving talent alongside Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell in Frank Reich's offense.

Running back Breece Hall praised new offensive coordinator Frank Reich's coaching philosophy at the start of training camp, explaining that Reich "lets players play off reactions, make the plays their own, make the offense their own." This aligns with Mitchell's assessment of Reich's approach to offensive freedom.

Second-year tight end Mason Taylor spent about a week in Florida during the offseason training with Geno Smith alongside Adonai Mitchell, building chemistry with the veteran quarterback.

Three-time 1,000-yard receiver Garrett Wilson is back from a right knee injury that kept him out of the second half of last season, providing elite receiving talent alongside Adonai Mitchell in the Jets' offense.

Mitchell, a 2024 second-round pick (No. 52), is positioned to settle into the NFL after two years of instability. He had 24 catches for 301 yards and two touchdowns with the Jets after a midseason trade last year. The surrounding talent—including three-time 1,000-yard receiver Garrett Wilson returning from injury, rookie Omar Cooper Jr. fresh off a national championship at Indiana, and depth from Tim Patrick and Isaiah Williams—combined with a strong relationship with Geno Smith and Frank Reich's free-flowing offensive philosophy, could provide the stability Mitchell needs to finally establish himself.

Mitchell said he "loves everything about" new offensive coordinator Frank Reich, especially that Reich lets him have freedom on routes. Michael Pittman Jr., a former Colts teammate who played under Reich from 2018-22, told Mitchell "You're gonna like him," praising Reich as "a great coach, knows what he's doing and has a great plan." Running back Breece Hall echoed similar sentiments, noting Reich "lets players play off reactions, make the plays their own, make the offense their own."

Mitchell is embracing his fourth starting quarterback in green and white with Geno Smith after playing just eight games with the Jets in 2025. He spent about a week in Florida offseason training with the 13-year veteran, and after a few days of playing together in grueling heat, started "understanding [Smith's] mind, understanding the way he thinks, understanding the way he sees the game." Mitchell said Smith also learned a lot about him, and both are now on the same page heading into the season.

Kenyon Sadiq suffered an injury setback but is expected to return by Week One.

Malik Nabers is currently on schedule to be ready for Week One.

Concerns regarding Rashee Rice's injury status continue to linger.

There is speculation that Stefon Diggs could emerge as a primary target for the Commanders offense.

Jaydon Blue is receiving rave reviews for his performance in Dallas training camp.

Chris Rodriguez has returned to practice with the Jaguars.

Parker Washington is currently leading the Jaguars' wide receiver group in training camp.

Tank Bigsby is reportedly making noise and gaining positive attention during Eagles training camp.

Daniel Jones is currently taking all of the first-team quarterback reps in Colts camp.

Jordan Love has confirmed that he will be playing in the 'Golden' role for the Green Bay offense.

The Cardinals' running back situation remains cloudy, with questions regarding whether Jeremiah Love will be restricted in his usage.

Following the season-ending injury to Ricky Pearsall, the 49ers have signed Deebo Samuel.

Ricky Pearsall is confirmed to be out for the entire 2026 season due to injury.

George Kittle is a concern for the 49ers as he works his way back from injury.

Mike Evans is currently hampered by injury, which is contributing to broader concerns regarding the 49ers' offensive outlook.

Kimani Vidal is gaining attention due to unprompted praise from the coaching staff regarding his pass protection skills. This development suggests he could complicate the Chargers' backfield usage alongside other options.

Rhamondre Stevenson is cited as a value success story from last year, finishing as the RB21 in points per game despite being drafted as the RB39. His performance benefited from the Patriots' offense exceeding low preseason expectations.

Travis Etienne provided significant fantasy value last season, finishing as the RB13 after being drafted as the RB33. His success was driven by the Jaguars' offense outperforming their preseason scoring projections.

The source is not personally high on Quentin Johnston as an individual talent, describing him as a 'gadget' player who requires designed touches; however, he acknowledges that the Chargers' offensive scheme can effectively utilize him on crossers and overs off play action to generate 20-yard chunk plays.

The source highlights David Njoku as an underrated blocker whose skill set helps set the edge for the outside run game.

The source cites Tyreek Hill's top-13 finish in yards per route run as evidence of the offensive system's effectiveness, even in a down year.

The source cites Jaylen Waddle's top-13 finish in yards per route run as evidence of the offensive system's effectiveness, even in a down year.

Ladd McConkey is viewed as a superior individual talent compared to other Chargers receivers, with the source highlighting his role in running crossing routes as a key component of the team's offensive design. Previously, his production suffered significantly following offensive line injuries, averaging only 2.7 catches for 38 yards per game.

The source references Mark Ingram as a historical example of the specific running back roles Sean Payton prefers to utilize in his offensive system.

The source references Alvin Kamara as a historical example of the specific running back roles Sean Payton prefers to utilize in his offensive system.

Kyler Murray is viewed as a wild card, but with better infrastructure, he has the potential to help his offense move from a top-20 unit to a top-10 unit by playing more in rhythm.

Despite concerns regarding his durability and ability to stay healthy for a full season, the source recommends drafting J.K. Dobbins highly because he is expected to receive the first crack at the lead role in a system designed to accentuate his strengths.

Jonah Coleman is highlighted as a top breakout candidate and a viable late-round dart throw or waiver wire add. The source emphasizes that his fantasy value is tied to the durability concerns surrounding J.K. Dobbins, noting that Coleman has a clear path to a significant role if Dobbins misses time.

Devon Achane is used as a benchmark for an undersized running back who is effective between the tackles, a trait the source suggests Jaleel McLaughlin lacks.

The source mentions Tyler Allgeier as a player they previously speculated the Broncos might sign to challenge the backfield depth.

The source expresses skepticism about Jaleel McLaughlin, noting he is undersized, inconsistent, struggles in pass protection, and has fumble issues, making him unlikely to threaten Javonte Williams' role.

Javonte Williams is considered underdrafted and a reliable RB8-10 candidate for the third or fourth round. Despite being a 'dead zone' back, he faces no clear competition for his job. Historically, he has provided value on 'prove-it' deals and finished as the RB12 in PPG last year despite being drafted as the RB38, proving that team infrastructure and coaching can elevate his fantasy output.

Brevyn Spann-Ford is valued for his blocking ability within the Cowboys' 12 personnel packages.

The source compares the potential for 'cheap explosives' via check-down passes in the Commanders' offense to the usage seen by Cam Akers last year.

The source notes that Chris Rodriguez Jr. lacks burst and shares a similar running style to Rachaad White, which was an aesthetic concern during the draft process.

The source notes the Commanders signed Austin Ekeler, which complicates the backfield outlook alongside Rachaad White.

Terry McLaurin is mentioned as a player to target only at certain price points, reflecting the source's overall wait-and-see approach to the Commanders' offense.

Rachaad White is viewed as the safest bet in the Commanders backfield due to his pass protection reliability, which keeps him on the field for play-action, and his efficiency on screens. He is projected to handle both goal-line work and receiving duties, making him a higher-floor option than Brian Robinson Jr. He is currently being drafted around pick 119 overall.

The source highlights concerns regarding Jaylen Wright's limited college usage, specifically noting only 19 targets over three years and limited pass protection experience (39 charted pass pros last season), though he remains interested in watching him in the preseason.

Ben Sinnott is identified as a potential buy-low candidate at the tight end position, though the source remains generally cautious about the Commanders' offense as a whole.

Brian Robinson Jr. is a viable late-round target because he is being drafted later than last year and fits the Commanders' focus on outside zone schemes, having led the NFL in yards per carry on outside zone plays (7.6) last season; however, he lost reps last season due to a lack of reliability in pass protection and between-the-tackles work.

Ameer Abdullah is used as a historical comparison for a potential preseason breakout performance where a player might secure a starting role with a single explosive play.

Zach Charbonnet is currently dealing with an injury, which creates a frustrating, split-backfield situation in Seattle once he returns. Upon his return, likely around Halloween or Thanksgiving, he is expected to carve out a significant role due to his proficiency in pass protection and passing-down situations, likely resulting in a 60/40 or 60/30/10 committee rotation.

George Holani is viewed as a potential stop-gap option in the Seattle backfield while Zach Charbonnet is injured. He is expected to compete for snaps in a committee rotation, potentially filling a role in passing-down situations alongside Judeian Price and Zach Charbonnet. The source warns drafters to monitor him as a potential threat to the workload of a first-round rookie running back.

James Cook is a prime-time running back on a top-10 projected offense, currently drafted within the top 18 overall picks. He significantly outperformed his ADP last year, finishing as the RB6 after being drafted as the RB14 (33rd overall) due to market uncertainty surrounding his August holdout.

Jahmyr Gibbs is considered a prime-time running back on a top-10 projected offense, currently being drafted within the top 18 overall picks.

Derrick Henry is identified as a prime-time running back on a top-10 projected offense, currently being drafted within the top 18 overall picks.

Christian McCaffrey is identified as a prime-time running back on a top-10 projected offense, currently being drafted within the top 18 overall picks. He serves as the benchmark for elite, do-it-all running back talent.

Chase Brown is identified as a prime-time running back on a top-10 projected offense, currently being drafted within the top 18 overall picks.

Drew Anderson is moving into a starting role and has the perfect arsenal to succeed as a SP, with a shallow fastball that sets up his stellar changeup and solid breaking balls.

Geno Smith is the Jets' new veteran quarterback, expected to keep defenses honest and improve the overall offensive attack. His presence should complement the rushing game and help elevate the Jets' offensive production compared to the prior year.

Hall is positioned as the speedster in the Jets' 1-2 running back pairing with Braelon Allen, modeled after the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combination. Coach Aaron Glenn envisioned Hall and Allen as a dynamic duo that could wreak havoc on opposing defenses, with Hall handling the speed element of the attack.

Allen showed flashes as a rookie in 2024, running for 334 yards and scoring three touchdowns in only four games before his injury. A healthy Allen could improve the Jets' rushing attack, which was tied for 10th in the NFL at 123.3 yards per game in 2024, especially with an offensive line that returns four starters and features promising young tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou.

Allen is positioned as the physical downhill runner in a 1-2 punch with Breece Hall, modeled after the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery pairing. Coach Aaron Glenn envisioned Hall as the speedster and Allen as the bruising complement. Allen emphasized his goal to establish himself as a workhorse back and earn respect from teammates and around the league, with his physical, downhill running style expected to come to life when wearing pads.

Allen suffered a medial collateral ligament sprain in his left knee on Sept. 29, 2024, during a kickoff return against the Dolphins, sidelining him for the final 13 games of his rookie season. He began his rehab immediately after surgery in October 2024 and has now returned to full practice with pads for the first time since the injury, describing his recovery as a process that has been ongoing for 11 months.

.@​BleacherReport ranks Bucky Irving as just the 30th-best RB in the NFL... 😶 "He plays with surprising body control and contact balance. He has a high motor & Irving's vision and patience are keys to his success. Hopes are that Irving returns to his healthy 2024 form."

Something that I’ve seen and heard a lot of lately - even though DJ Giddens got 1st team reps, Seth McGowan sounds like he’s been much more impressive and fits what they want in terms of physicality

Chiefs pass game coordinator Joe Bleymaier on Cyrus Allen: “He has a natural feel for kind of space out there after the snap... he's got great physical traits — they were showing up after the snap, his mental stuff was good pre-snap, so you can build on that, and that's exciting.” (@​chiefs_kcsn)

Sixth-round rookie WR out of Boston College is making noise in training camp despite the difficulty late-round selections face in earning roster spots. Bond has continued to turn heads in a talented wide receiver room. The Texans open the preseason on August 13, giving Bond another opportunity to prove he belongs on an NFL roster. If he continues this trajectory, it wouldn't be surprising to see him carve out a role during the regular season.

Higgins put together a solid rookie season and has clearly invested in offseason work to make a second-year leap, which is showing in training camp. Quarterback C.J. Stroud and Higgins weren't always on the same page last season, but that narrative is being put to rest with how locked in the two have looked throughout early training camp. The Texans need someone to emerge alongside Nico Collins, and Higgins is looking more and more like that player.

Moreau signed as free agent tight end to pair with Schultz; part of Texans' commitment to heavy formation trend with retooled offensive line and receivers Collins and Higgins that can win from slot or condensed formations; supports physical, tough offensive identity.

Hutchinson returns as one of Texans' top four pass catchers from 2025; retained as part of core receiving group to support C.J. Stroud alongside Schultz, Collins, Higgins, and Tank Dell.

Dell returns as part of Texans' receiving corps alongside Collins and Higgins; positioned in team's heavy formation scheme built to embrace condensed formations with tight ends Schultz and Moreau; part of offensive skill position group supporting C.J. Stroud.

Higgins returns as one of Texans' top four pass catchers from 2025; positioned to win out of slot or from condensed formations in team's heavy formation scheme; part of receiving corps supporting C.J. Stroud alongside Collins, Tank Dell, and tight ends Schultz and Moreau.

Collins returns as one of Texans' top four pass catchers from 2025; positioned to win out of slot or from condensed formations in team's heavy formation scheme built around Schultz and Moreau at tight end; part of offensive core supporting C.J. Stroud.

Marks paired with acquired David Montgomery in Texans backfield as part of offensive skill position group for 2026; part of team's commitment to heavy formation trend with tight ends Schultz and Moreau, and receivers Collins and Higgins.

Texans acquired Montgomery in trade from Lions to bolster offensive skill position group; paired with Woody Marks in backfield as part of offensive splash to complement returning top four pass catchers (Schultz, Collins, Higgins, Hutchinson) and support C.J. Stroud in sustainable offense.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys will face the Texans' elite defense in week four; this matchup frames the Cowboys game as one with heightened importance beyond state bragging rights, as it will test how Brian Schottenheimer's offense performs against a premier defensive mind in DeMeco Ryans.

Lewis Bond, a wide receiver, was selected by the Texans in the sixth round (pick 23 overall, 204 overall) as part of the team's smart drafting strategy.

Marlin Klein, a tight end, was selected by the Texans in the second round (pick 27 overall, 59 overall) as the team's second of two second-round picks; with established talent at tight end in Schultz and Moreau, Klein is expected to develop on the depth chart with tempered expectations.

Foster Moreau signed with the Texans in free agency and is paired with Dalton Schultz at tight end to anchor Houston's heavy formation offense; the Texans are built to embrace the heavy formation trend expected to sweep the NFL in 2026, with Schultz and Moreau providing dual tight end depth.

Xavier Hutchinson is one of the Texans' top four pass catchers returning from 2025, providing continuity in Houston's receiving corps.

Dalton Schultz is one of the Texans' top four pass catchers returning from 2025 and is a cornerstone of Houston's heavy formation offense; paired with free agent addition Foster Moreau at tight end, Schultz anchors the Texans' condensed formation identity built around C.J. Stroud.

Tank Dell is listed among the Texans' wide receiver group alongside Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins as part of Houston's 2026 offensive arsenal.

Jayden Higgins is one of the Texans' top four pass catchers returning from 2025 and fits the heavy formation trend Houston is embracing; he can win out of the slot or from condensed formations as part of the team's physical, trench-focused offensive identity.

Nico Collins is one of the Texans' top four pass catchers returning from 2025 and is positioned to thrive in Houston's heavy formation offense; he can win out of the slot or from condensed formations, fitting the physical, trench-focused identity the Texans are building around C.J. Stroud.

Woody Marks is paired with newly acquired David Montgomery in the Texans backfield as part of Houston's commitment to heavy formation trends expected to sweep the NFL in 2026; the Texans built their offense around tight ends Schultz and Foster Moreau, receivers like Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins, and a retooled offensive line to support this condensed formation identity.

Texans acquired Lions running back David Montgomery in a trade to bolster their offense; he will be paired with Woody Marks out of the backfield in Houston's 2026 backfield, signaling a commitment to heavy formation trends expected to dominate the NFL this season.

#Bucs OC Zac Robinson expresses how great of a camp QB Jalon Daniels has had, adding that his arm is “one of the better one’s he has been around.”

Bijan Robinson signed a record-setting contract extension with the Falcons, a significant roster and financial development that underscores the team's commitment to him as a core offensive piece.

.@​MatthewBerryTMR believes Rome Odunze has the toughest path to a breakout among the Bears' young pass catchers: "People are assuming all of Odunze, Burden and Loveland are going to break out this year. Maybe they do. History says probably not. His average target is farther downfield, and last season only 57% of his targets were even catchable. I think a little caution is warranted."

Now the George Pickens is the real Cowboys WR1 takes seem a little less fucked up [Quoted](

McDaniel goes out of his way to add Vidal into the mix of LAC RBs, refers to them as complementary. Vidal seems very live to have a pass-pro/passing downs role, with 1A upside (if Hampton injured) in an offense that has some very high expectations. Not a bad R18+ click at all

Juwan Johnson is the only meaningful fantasy football asset that’s stood out so far The offense has been so-so with a lot of new pieces getting integrated in

Nix is actively coaching and building rapport with his receivers during training camp, demonstrating leadership by encouraging Jaylen Waddle to trust the system and play instinctively rather than overthinking plays; Waddle expressed strong confidence in Nix's support, saying "I love Bo."

Waddle is competing daily against a top-tier Broncos defense at training camp, describing the defensive unit as "hard to get a yard on" and emphasizing the value of padded practice days for working his craft against elite competition; he's receiving direct quarterback support from Bo Nix, who encouraged him to trust the system rather than overthink plays.

Wide receiver faced cornerback Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss in 1-on-1 drills; Surtain had a pass breakup on Bryant, and Moss knocked away a deep ball intended for him.

Running back is being developed by Head Coach Sean Payton using film study of former players like Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles, and Alvin Kamara; Payton notes Harvey had bigger impact in passing game as a rookie with routes he was running than in run game due to rotation; has natural hands and made an instinctive broken-play catch in the end zone at Kansas City; Payton is encouraged by his development in footwork and instincts.

Tight end got into a scuffle with Ja'Quan McMillian and has not had much involvement recently in camp; source notes 'Not much Evan Engram involvement recently. Got into skirmish at end of day.'

Quarterback had the best offensive play of practice when he hit running back Jaleel McLaughlin for a TD; was sprinting to the left, stopped, turned his body to throw to the right side of the field where McLaughlin was wide open.

Quarterback had mixed performance: scrambled up the middle for a huge gain off play action on first play of team period, threw a strike to Jaylen Waddle for 15 yards in the middle of the field, but also missed a couple throws and had an incomplete dump-off after Jonah Elliss sack; first-team offense was off today.

Running back had a couple of nice runs during the 9-on-7 drill; source noted liking what they saw from him in the run game.

Wide receiver made big plays during 1-on-1 drills in camp.

Wide receiver had a great deep-ball-tracking rep over Jahdae Barron, routed Barron up on an out, and capped off the 1-on-1 drill with a 50-yard acrobatic TD catch from Bo Nix; made big plays during 1-on-1s.

Wide receiver put on a show during 1-on-1 drills, separated big time from Pat Surtain II on an out route, beat Surtain on a slant and spun away, caught a strike from Bo Nix for 15 yards in the middle of the field, and has serious slant YAC potential; multiple sources noted his strong performance against elite cornerback competition.

Running back had one good run in the 9-on-7 drill but also took a huge tackle for loss from Zach Allen in team period; mixed performance in run game during camp.

Wide receiver had a rough day and was shut down by UDFA cornerback Brent Austin; camp notes show him with downward trajectory.

Tight end continued to miss practice on Day 4 after undergoing offseason knee surgery, indicating he remains in recovery and unavailable for camp activities.

Explosive wide receiver has been making plays all camp, including against top cornerback Pat Surtain II, and is looking as advertised. Waddle is one of the more explosive playmakers in the NFL and is pairing his playmaking ability with Marvin Mims to give the Broncos potential for a productive big-play offense this upcoming season.

Wide receiver is receiving strong endorsement from teammate Jaylen Waddle, who called him a 'big fan' and praised his explosiveness and speed. Waddle noted Mims is 'a big play waiting to happen' and emphasized the need to respect his speed. Mims has had a strong start to camp and is pushing for more snaps and targets, competing with Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin for the WR3 job. He is an electric deep threat, dangerous in space, and an All-Pro return man in the final year of his contract, making his playmaking ability valuable to the Broncos' Super Bowl aspirations.

Waddle's direct commentary on working with QB Bo Nix reveals strong chemistry and confidence in the quarterback's decision-making and support. Nix demonstrated leadership and trust-building by approaching Waddle during practice and telling him, 'Hey brother, don't think, just play. I got you,' which Waddle credited as instrumental to his comfort level. Waddle stated, 'I love Bo,' indicating a positive working relationship that supports offensive execution and receiver confidence.

Waddle is integrating smoothly into the Broncos offense and culture; he praised the team's defense as top-tier and emphasized the value of competitive practice reps against a high-quality unit. The source notes that daily back-and-forth with the defense—from front to back end and linebackers—forces the offense to play true and compete hard, with the defense being difficult to gain yards on. Waddle also highlighted the energy from Broncos fans at training camp and the welcoming team culture, describing the locker room as a big family that makes it easy to come to work and compete.

Wide receiver Pat Bryant was tested by cornerback Pat Surtain II during 1-on-1 drills on Day 4, with Surtain recording a pass breakup. Bryant was also tested deep by Bo Nix in coverage drills.

Tight end Evan Engram has not had much involvement recently in practice and got into a skirmish with linebacker Ja'Quan McMillian on Day 4, indicating reduced offensive role and potential tension.

Running back Jonah Coleman had a couple of good runs during Day 4 practice, showing promise in the running game despite the overall tough sledding for the offense's run game.

Wide receiver Marvin Mims made big plays during 1-on-1 drills on Day 4, contributing to a strong performance by the receiving corps alongside Troy Franklin and Jaylen Waddle.

Wide receiver Troy Franklin had a strong Day 4 with multiple big plays during 1-on-1 drills. He had great deep-ball-tracking rep over safety Jahdae Barron and routed Barron up on an out. Franklin capped off the 1-on-1 drill with a 50-yard acrobatic touchdown catch from Bo Nix, demonstrating strong receiving ability and ball-tracking skills.

Running back RJ Harvey had a run for nothing during the team period on Day 4 as the defensive line dominated. Head Coach Sean Payton discussed Harvey's development, noting that in his first year he had a bigger impact in the passing game with route-running than in the run game due to rotation. Payton highlighted Harvey's natural hands and instinctive play, citing a scramble play at Kansas City where Harvey made a broken-play catch in the end zone.

Running back JK Dobbins had limited success in the 9-on-7 run drill on Day 4, with the defense dominating the period. However, he did have one good run and was barking at Denver's defense on the sideline, getting into a verbal exchange with safety Talanoa Hufanga during what was described as the chippiest practice of camp.

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger had the best offensive play of Day 4 practice, sprinting to the left on a play-action, stopping, and throwing to the right side of the field where running back Jaleel McLaughlin was wide open for a touchdown. This performance highlights Ehlinger's mobility and decision-making.

Quarterback Bo Nix had a mixed Day 4 performance. He scrambled up the middle for a huge gain on a play-action play early in the team period and threw a 15-yard strike to Jaylen Waddle in the middle of the field. However, the source notes his first-team offense was off, with Nix missing a couple of throws and the offensive line allowing Alex Singleton to rush free through the A-gap.

Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle put on a strong performance during 1-on-1 drills, separating big time from cornerback Pat Surtain II on an out route and beating him on a slant while spinning away. He also caught a 15-yard strike from Bo Nix in the middle of the field. The source notes Waddle has "serious slant YAC potential," indicating strong receiving ability and yards-after-catch upside.

Wide receiver Hakeem Butler had a rough Day 4 and was shut down by UDFA cornerback Brent Austin, indicating a difficult practice performance against the secondary.

Running back Jaleel McLaughlin had a strong Day 4 performance, catching a touchdown pass from QB Sam Ehlinger on a deep play-action play where Ehlinger sprinted left, stopped, and threw to the right side of the field where McLaughlin was wide open. The source notes this as the best offensive play of the day and highlights McLaughlin's receiving ability.

Tight end Caleb Lohner continued to miss practice after undergoing offseason knee surgery, indicating an extended recovery timeline from his procedure.

Tight end was involved in a scuffle with Ja'Quan McMillian during Day 4's most physical and chippy practice of camp so far, with the two units jawing back and forth.

Tight end continued to miss practice after undergoing offseason knee surgery, indicating an extended recovery timeline from the procedure.

Running back was on the receiving end of probably the best offensive play of Day 4 practice, when QB Sam Ehlinger hit him for a touchdown during the physical practice session.

Explosive wide receiver has been making plays throughout camp, including against top cornerback Pat Surtain II, and is looking as advertised. Waddle is one of the more explosive playmakers in the NFL and is part of a potential productive big-play offense alongside Marvin Mims.

Wide receiver has had a strong start to camp and is pushing for more snaps and targets in the offense. Jaylen Waddle publicly praised Mims as a 'big fan,' highlighting his explosive playmaking ability, speed, and big-play potential. Mims is competing with Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin for the WR3 job and snaps, while also serving as an All-Pro return man. In the final year of his contract, his value to the team's Super Bowl hopes exceeds potential trade return value.

.@​MatthewBerryTMR on WR Malik Nabers: "When he's healthy, he has legitimate top-5 fantasy WR upside. Health is really the only thing keeping me from planting my flag even harder. But until we get closer to August, we really won't know if he's 100% back to being THAT DUDE."

The Bears are investing heavily in offensive line infrastructure to ensure quarterback Caleb Williams succeeds, signing Wright to a record-breaking contract and building a top-tier offense around him. The Bears came off an 11-6 season in 2025 where they won their first playoff game since 2011.

Jordan Love on TE Tucker Kraft: “Tuck is one of those guys that brings the energy, that dawg mindset. Everybody knows when he’s out there on the field what he is going to bring to the table. I’m expecting big things from him when he gets back.” (@​heykayadams/@​UpAndAdamsShow)

The receiver was denied a touchdown on a red zone fade when rookie cornerback Colton Hood ripped away a throw from Jameis Winston for an incompletion.

The running back was stopped for what appeared to be a short loss by rookie cornerback Colton Hood in run support during practice.

The wide receiver missed practice with what head coach John Harbaugh called 'a little knee swelling.'

The wide receiver continued his routine of working briefly at the start of practice, participating in position drills and catching some passes before ending his session early.

Winston had a poor two-day stretch during camp. On Monday he had 'a terrible day,' and on Tuesday he was 'largely off-target.' His worst throw was a ball picked off in the end zone by Jason Pinnock, where Winston threw the ball directly to the defender.

In a game-winning red zone situation (third-and-goal from the 3-yard line), Dart scrambled in for a touchdown but then threw the ball at cornerback Greg Newsome after the play, drawing a 15-yard taunting penalty that forced the team to kick a 48-yard extra point instead of a shorter attempt. Head coach John Harbaugh was clearly displeased, saying 'for the game-winning extra point, we don't want it to be a 50-yard extra point,' signaling Dart needs to control his emotions in critical moments.

Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster missed practice due to what head coach John Harbaugh described as "a little knee swelling." This represents a minor but notable injury concern during the early stages of training camp.

Malik Nabers continued his established routine of limited practice participation during camp. He worked briefly at the start of practice, participated in position drills, caught some passes, then called it a day. This pattern suggests ongoing injury management or recovery protocol.

Winston had a terrible day on Monday and followed it with another largely off-target performance on Tuesday. His worst throw was an interception in the end zone, picked off by Jason Pinnock, where Winston threw the ball directly to the defender. The source notes this pattern of inaccuracy across multiple days of camp.

In a game-winning red zone drill situation (third-and-goal from the 3-yard line, :42 left, trailing by 6), Dart scrambled in for a touchdown but drew a 15-yard taunting penalty after jawing with cornerback Greg Newsome and throwing the ball at him. The penalty forced the team to back up the extra point attempt to 48 yards. Head coach John Harbaugh was clearly displeased, noting that for a game-winning extra point, the team does not want a 50-yard attempt.

Ian Hartitz highlights the Bengals' high offensive potential, noting that the team struggled last season primarily due to Joe Burrow's health; when Burrow was healthy in 2024, the Bengals functioned as the sixth-best scoring offense in the NFL.

Bryce Young will not play in the Hall of Fame Game preseason opener as the Panthers rest their established offensive starters. Head coach Dave Canales confirmed he won't rely on any starters for Thursday's exhibition opener, though that could change against the Buffalo Bills on Aug. 15.

Chuba Hubbard is the current starter in the Panthers backfield, positioned ahead of Jonathon Brooks on the depth chart. Hubbard had a strong 2024 campaign followed by a modest but workable 2025 effort, making him the obvious choice to lead the backfield.

If the season started today, Chuba Hubbard would start over Jonathon Brooks after the veteran back split carries with breakout star Rico Dowdle last season. Dowdle turned that electric season into a two-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency, opening the door for Brooks or another back to work their way into a prominent workload. Even if Brooks gets off to a sizzling start, his injury history would suggest a split workload no matter what.

Brooks' average draft position (ADP) is roughly the 100th player off the board in PPR and half-PPR leagues and a top-125 draft pick in standard leagues. He's being drafted as the RB35 to RB40 on average, making him a top-five pick among non-starters. The source recommends drafting Brooks anywhere between the 90th and 110th picks (Round 8 to Round 10 in a 12-team league) as your third or fourth running back, not ahead of key starters.

Brooks should play a key role in Carolina's backfield this year assuming he stays healthy, with an even bigger impact potential for fantasy football teams. The third-year back is a popular pick in redraft leagues and a compelling asset in keeper and dynasty leagues, as the former Texas star teased immense upside coming out of college but has yet to truly show that on an NFL field given his season-ending injuries. This makes Brooks an intriguing but ultimately high-risk pick with a higher ceiling than many of the RB35-40 running backs taken ahead of him; he's the type of pick that could legitimately help win your fantasy league if he comes back healthy and catches fire late in the year.

Brooks suffered his second torn ACL on Dec. 8, 2024, and will not play in the Hall of Fame Game preseason opener Thursday. However, he was cleared by his surgeon in April, worked through OTAs and minicamp without issue, and handled full-speed contact during training camp. Head coach Dave Canales stated Brooks 'looks like the guy that I remember' amid the first healthy training camp of his NFL career. Brooks has said he feels close to 100 percent, and barring a setback, it would be surprising if he doesn't see the field for Carolina in Week 1.

DeVonta Smith 2025 #ReceptionPerception Profile 🔥 Some highlights: - 76.1% success rate vs man coverage - 84.6% success rate vs zone coverage - 77.6% success rate vs press (84th percentile) Throughout the course of his career in RP, Smith has offered up plenty of evidence that he’s not only ready to take on WR1 duties, but capable of playing a high-volume role on the boundary.

Undisputed TE1 for the Patriots, a position he has held since arriving in 2021. After nine training camp practices, a clear pecking order has emerged at tight end with Henry at the top.

Among the non-roster candidate wide receivers on the Patriots' roster, Dorner had arguably been the best so far this summer as a potential practice squad candidate. He was absent from Tuesday's practice, which may have prompted New England to claim Tejhaun Palmer. Both Dorner and Palmer are similar players in terms of positional usage—both are outside receivers first—and size.

Claimed off waivers by the Patriots from Arizona; a high-end athlete with size/speed combination who is a 2024 sixth-round draft pick entering his third NFL season. Has played just six non-preseason snaps in his lone in-game appearance over the last two years with no statistics to his name. As an outside receiver, Palmer will compete for a limited number of practice squad opportunities alongside other depth wide receivers on the roster.

Third-round rookie tight end positioned as the second option and potential heir apparent to Hunter Henry on the Patriots depth chart after nine training camp practices establish a clear pecking order at the position.

Undisputed TE1 on the Patriots roster since arriving in 2021; remains the clear starter with Eli Raridon positioned as the second option and potential heir apparent.

Claimed off waivers by the Patriots following his release from Arizona; a high-end athlete with elite speed who fits the Vrabel regime's type for athleticism-focused acquisitions. Palmer is a 2024 sixth-round draft pick competing for a limited number of practice squad opportunities on a deep wide receiver depth chart; he has played just six non-preseason snaps in his lone in-game appearance over two years with no statistics to his name, but his size/speed combination and athleticism suggest untapped skill potential.

.@​BleacherReport ranks Harold Fannin Jr. as just the 33rd-best TE in the NFL... 😶 "A bit of a tweener when it comes to body type, he was impactful after the catch, creating something out of nothing numerous times. He's in line for even more work in his sophomore campaign."

TE Kenyon Sadiq suffered a setback and will miss time as he works his way back from a May hernia operation. Coach Aaron Glenn is optimistic he will return in time for the start of the regular season, but the setback creates uncertainty around his availability for early-season fantasy purposes.

Return specialist Isaiah Williams had an active day at receiver during Jets training camp. His highlight was a diving grab of a deep Smith pass, with Smith showing enthusiasm by sprinting down the field and pumping his fist after the play, suggesting confidence in Williams' receiving ability.

TE Mason Taylor was targeted by Geno Smith on a forced pass through traffic during Jets training camp that resulted in an interception, indicating Smith is looking to involve Taylor in the passing game despite the negative outcome on this particular play.

Geno Smith threw an interception for a second straight day at Jets training camp, attempting to force a pass to TE Mason Taylor through traffic that was deflected and picked off by CB Brandon Stephens. Though he finished practice well after a slow start, the consecutive interceptions suggest early camp struggles.

2023 No. 1 overall selection entering a critical season for his career; Panthers QB1 ahead of Kenny Pickett and Haynes King; has shown flashes under Dave Canales' guidance but has yet to find the consistency needed to be considered a bona fide franchise passer; Panthers picked up his fifth-year option this offseason; will get at least one more season to prove he's the long-term answer for the Panthers in 2027.

2022 first-round pick by Pittsburgh Steelers now on his fifth team in four seasons after failing to latch on with Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, and Las Vegas Raiders; starting for the Panthers in the Hall of Fame game; looking to stick to an NFL roster.

Third-round pick (67th overall) by the Cardinals in the 2026 NFL Draft from University of Miami and University of Georgia; starting in the Hall of Fame game on Thursday despite being fourth on the depth chart behind Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, and Kedon Slovis; Beck said the start was a surprise and he had no expectations of starting going into the game.

Wilson engaged in similar competitive red zone behavior during last year's training camp, establishing a precedent for the type of quarterback intensity the Giants organization tolerates and encourages.

Tight end Likely stepped between Dart and Newsome during the red zone competition, characterizing the interaction as normal training camp intensity; Likely praised Dart's competitive 'dog' mentality as the type desired in a quarterback, noting the red zone context where points are at stake.

Dart is the Giants' starting quarterback in training camp, executing red zone touchdown runs and demonstrating the competitive, feisty demeanor the team encourages; head coach John Harbaugh emphasized Dart's understanding of boundaries after a taunting penalty on a simulated game-tying TD run, signaling confidence in Dart's role and mindset while reinforcing discipline.

In his second practice back from the non-football injury list, Jennings was part of the top punt team and the first running back up with the second-stringers, taking the spot in the rotation previously held by Lan Larison. The source notes Larison himself remains ahead of Jam Miller, establishing the current pecking order in the team's eyes.

Hauled in four receptions on Tuesday with his most notable play being a deep sideline shot from Tommy DeVito for what would have been a 40-plus-yard touchdown in a true game setting. The source notes the veteran has been productive the last two days and continues to be a key target in select situations.

Showed no signs of limitation from his dislocated thumb suffered on Monday. The offseason trade pickup looked no less impressive than he had after suffering the injury, catching all four of his targets including three on slants from Drake Maye.

Caught a team-leading five passes in team drills on Tuesday, doing most of his damage against the second-string defense. Despite remaining the factual WR4 behind A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, and DeMario Douglas, the source notes both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito have shown significant trust in him, rewarding that trust with multiple downfield receptions including in both QBs' two-minute drill situations.
