NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Friday, August 7, 2026

Says shoulder is fine; clears injury concern heading into season.

Taking more first-team snaps than McCarthy; indicates primary starter role and increased offensive opportunity.

Unlikely to play in preseason opener; typical rest management for established starting quarterback.

Rotates with Rodriguez in scrimmage; depth chart position remains competitive during training camp.

Harbaugh downplays exit from practice; role status remains unclear during training camp.

McNichols is positioned as a threat to Rachaad White's rushing work in Washington's backfield; the source notes even if Croskey-Merritt were to miss time, theoretically clearing White for a three-down role, White would still be vulnerable to losing rushing work to McNichols and Kaytron Allen.

Allen is positioned as a threat to Rachaad White's rushing work in Washington's backfield; the source notes even if Croskey-Merritt were to miss time, theoretically clearing White for a three-down role, White would still be vulnerable to losing rushing work to Allen and Jeremy McNichols.

Rodriguez (UD ADP 129.6) is mentioned as one of four Washington RBs who would need to bust for Rachaad White to justify even hedging exposure at his current ADP of 109.5.

Croskey-Merritt (UD ADP 114.8) is mentioned as one of four Washington RBs who would need to bust for Rachaad White to justify even hedging exposure at his current ADP of 109.5. The source notes White is probably a better pass blocker and has better hands than Croskey-Merritt, but as a runner White is below average even by backup standards.

Mason (UD ADP 110.2) is mentioned as one of four Washington RBs who would need to bust for Rachaad White to justify even hedging exposure at his current ADP of 109.5.

Arroyo, a 2025 second-round tight end, could significantly impact Seattle's offensive structure if he stays healthy. The source notes Arroyo would offer a blocking upgrade over Cooper Kupp (Kupp's one remaining utility), giving Seattle reason to make a two-TE loadout their base formation. If Arroyo plays 500+ snaps, it's unclear how Kupp would reach similar volume, suggesting Arroyo's health and role will be a key factor in Kupp's 2026 fantasy value.

Smith-Njigba is positioned as a primary receiver in Seattle's two-wide formations; Rashid Shaheed will take the boundary rep opposite him in 2026, indicating Smith-Njigba's continued role as a featured target.

Shaheed will be featured more in Seattle's 2026 offense than he was as an in-season trade pickup from New Orleans. He is likely to take the boundary rep opposite Jaxon Smith-Njigba in two-wide formations, positioning him as a primary receiver in the Seahawks' passing game and limiting Cooper Kupp's role.

Kupp's UD ADP of 209.3 is too high; at age 33, the source argues last year's 593 yards and two touchdowns is probably the best-case scenario for 2026, and it can get worse. After functioning as Seattle's primary WR2 last year, Kupp is on the verge of disappearing entirely. Rashid Shaheed will be featured more in 2026 than he was as an in-season trade pickup from New Orleans, likely taking the boundary rep opposite Jaxon Smith-Njigba in two-wide formations, leaving Kupp unlikely to see playing time outside three-wide sets and obvious running situations. If 2025 second-round tight end Elijah Arroyo stays healthy, there's a chance Kupp is removed from the base Seattle offense entirely; Arroyo would offer a blocking upgrade over Kupp (his one remaining utility), giving Seattle reason to make a two-TE loadout their base formation. Kupp is likely to settle in as the third receiver in an offense that doesn't throw much and might feature one of the lowest slot rep counts league-wide. If Arroyo plays 500+ snaps, it's unclear how Kupp would reach the same volume.

Coleman is positioned ahead of Malik Washington in Miami's receiver hierarchy; the source notes Washington is not guaranteed to hold off Coleman and other receivers for playing time.

Bell (knee) is positioned ahead of Malik Washington in Miami's receiver hierarchy; the source notes Washington is not guaranteed to hold off Bell and other receivers for playing time despite Bell's knee injury.

Douglas is positioned ahead of Malik Washington in Miami's receiver hierarchy; the source notes Washington is not guaranteed to hold off Douglas and other receivers for playing time.

Atwell is positioned ahead of Malik Washington in Miami's receiver hierarchy; the source notes Washington is not guaranteed to hold off Atwell and other receivers for playing time.

Tolbert is positioned ahead of Malik Washington in Miami's receiver hierarchy; the source notes Washington is not guaranteed to hold off Tolbert and other receivers (Tutu Atwell, Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, Kevin Coleman) for playing time.

Washington's UD ADP of 179.5 is too high; the source argues his sales pitch—"He Might Be Miami's WR1"—is speculative and he could easily end up the WR6 on a Miami team likely to feature the worst passing offense in the NFL. Washington is a slot specialist with unacceptably poor results through two seasons. The 2026 Miami offense will likely go extremely run-heavy in a two-TE base, which could send Washington to the bench. He is not guaranteed to hold off Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell (knee), or Kevin Coleman. Through 961 career snaps, Washington has drawn just 101 targets despite an aDOT of only 4.8 yards—he should have 30-40 more targets given his snap count and route depth. His per-target efficiency is even worse: 71.3% catch rate at 5.4 yards per target is unacceptable given his modest target volume. Washington doesn't get open often enough and doesn't do enough with his meager target total to warrant a pick in any round.

Harris (UD ADP 164.7) is positioned as a better best ball target than Tre Tucker (157.0), offering better value in the receiver range despite similar ADP.

Flournoy (UD ADP 163.0) is positioned as a better best ball target than Tre Tucker (157.0), offering better value in the receiver range despite similar ADP.

Nailor (UD ADP 148.4) is positioned as a better best ball target than Tre Tucker (157.0) at a similar or lower ADP, offering better value in the receiver range.

McMillan (UD ADP 148.3) is positioned as a better best ball target than Tre Tucker (157.0) at a similar or lower ADP, offering better value in the receiver range.

Tucker's UD ADP of 157.0 (approximately 13th round) is too high for best ball; the source notes Tucker was a useful pick in the 18th round each of the last two years but has risen significantly. Tucker has 173 targets on 1,871 snaps, requiring 900+ snaps for the third consecutive year to project for roughly 80 targets—acceptable only if he were still going in the 16th round or later. At current cost, Tucker is not a range of outcomes worth targeting over Jalen McMillan (148.3 UD), Jalen Nailor (148.4 UD), Ryan Flournoy (163.0 UD), or Tre' Harris (164.7 UD). Tucker is very fast and useful as decoy work, but doesn't draw targets at a high enough rate to justify his current cost.

Jeudy's UD ADP of 179.2 is undervalued relative to KC Concepcion (118.5), going five full rounds later despite superior credentials. Jeudy was the most productive player on an Alabama offense that featured three other first-round picks, and he is only two years removed from a 90-catch, 1,200-yard season at age 27. The source argues there is no serious argument that Concepcion is a better prospect than Jeudy, and Jeudy would be worth exposure if he and Concepcion switched prices.

Fannin is positioned as a clear target priority in Cleveland's passing game; the source notes he has already proven himself one of the best tight ends in the NFL even before turning 22, making him the clear receiving option ahead of KC Concepcion in the Browns offense.

Concepcion's UD ADP of 118.5 is too high; the source argues his current price assumes either the Browns offense will exceed projections or Concepcion will be Cleveland's WR1 in 2026, both of which are almost certainly not true. Concepcion is the likely third-leading receiver in what might be a bottom-three passing game. He cannot outproduce Harold Fannin (already one of the best tight ends in the NFL before turning 22) and is unlikely to outproduce Jerry Jeudy (179.2 UD), who goes five full rounds later. Concepcion was a fringe first-round pick in a weak draft class; Jeudy was the most productive player on an Alabama offense with three other first-round picks. There is no serious argument Concepcion is a better prospect than Jeudy, a 27-year-old only two years removed from a 90-catch, 1,200-yard season. Concepcion would only be worth exposure if he and Jeudy switched prices.

Gainwell (UD ADP 106.8) is positioned favorably relative to Rachaad White; the source notes Gainwell is a consistent pass-catching threat who draws targets at high frequency. Gainwell has 223 targets on 1,821 career snaps (0.122 per snap), a notably higher per-snap target rate than White's 0.096. This target consistency makes Gainwell a more reliable best ball option than White at a similar or lower ADP.

White's UD ADP of 109.5 is too high for best ball exposure; the source argues he would need four other Washington RBs (Gainwell, Mason, Croskey-Merritt, Rodriguez) to bust to justify even hedging at this price. White's career 2,405 snaps yielded 230 targets (0.096 per snap), well below Kenneth Gainwell's 223 targets on 1,821 snaps (0.122 per snap). As a runner, White is below-average by backup standards; as a receiver, he offers high catch rate but not noteworthy target volume. Washington's offense will struggle if White runs frequently, and he doesn't draw targets enough to impact passing-down work. Even if Croskey-Merritt misses time, White faces competition from Kaytron Allen and Jeremy McNichols for rushing work. At current cost he's all risk with minimal upside; would be more interesting 60+ spots later.

With Jalen Nailor missing practice today, Malik Benson got 1st team reps I believe he’s live for the WR3 role Via @​BySamGordon

Tight end J.J. Galbreath was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the team made roster moves including the waiver claims of Colton Dowell and Lance Mason.

Wide receiver A.T. Perry was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers in conjunction with the team's waiver claims of Colton Dowell and Lance Mason.

Lance Mason, a rookie tight end out of Wisconsin, was claimed by the Pittsburgh Steelers from the Seattle Seahawks. Mason caught 30 passes and four touchdowns in 2025.

Colton Dowell was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Steelers from the San Francisco 49ers. Dowell signed with the 49ers in January on a futures contract and has prior experience with the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans, appearing in 10 games with the Titans in 2023.

Released by the Pittsburgh Steelers in a corresponding move to make room for the waiver claim of Lance Mason at the tight end position.

Released by the Pittsburgh Steelers in a corresponding move to make room for the waiver claim of Colton Dowell at the wide receiver position.

Rookie tight end out of Wisconsin claimed by the Steelers from the Seattle Seahawks. Mason caught 30 passes and four touchdowns in 2025, demonstrating early production and pass-catching ability at the position.

Claimed by the Pittsburgh Steelers off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers. Dowell signed with the 49ers on a futures contract in January and has prior experience with the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans, appearing in 10 games with the Titans in 2023.

Josh Downs is a high-value breakout candidate in his fourth year, currently available in the 10th round. Despite playing exclusively in 11 personnel, he ranks top-10 in targets per route and first downs per route among high-volume receivers. With Alec Pierce potentially limited by an ankle injury and Daniel Jones expected to favor quick, underneath passes, Downs is a strong candidate to challenge for 100+ receptions and WR11-12 production.

Ron Stewart views Brian Thomas Jr. as an awesome talent with a massive ceiling this year. While he does not qualify as a traditional breakout candidate after finishing as a WR11 in points per game during his rookie season, Stewart remains highly bullish on his potential.

Ron Stewart identifies Ladd McConkey as a prime year-three breakout candidate with top-12 upside, ranking him at WR2 (4.02 ADP) despite a 4.09 consensus ADP. Stewart cites McConkey's elite per-route metrics, including 4.17 yards per route run on go routes in 2024, and the return of Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater as catalysts for an offensive rebound. Additionally, Mike McDaniel's scheme and increased heavy-set usage—modeled after Jaylen Waddle's usage—are expected to boost McConkey's efficiency by moving him outside of 11 personnel.

Ron Stewart acknowledges Mark Andrews as a teammate of Zay Flowers but argues that Andrews does not pose enough of a threat to Flowers' target share to prevent a breakout season.

Ron Stewart identifies Rashod Bateman as a teammate of Zay Flowers but explicitly states that Bateman does not represent meaningful target competition that would prevent Flowers from achieving a breakout season.

Ron Stewart notes that Isaiah Likely's departure from the team removes significant red-zone target competition, which creates a path for Zay Flowers to see increased opportunities in that area of the field.

Ron Stewart highlights Lamar Jackson's potential for a high-scoring season, noting his history of 36 and 41 passing touchdown campaigns. Stewart emphasizes that Jackson's fantasy production is tied to play-action frequency, noting that when Jackson is in a top-10 play-action rate offense, he consistently averages 20+ fantasy points per game.

Ron Stewart expects a bounce-back for Baker Mayfield, noting he was a shell of himself after week six last year due to injury. With a healthier offensive line and Zack Robinson's scheme—which utilizes motion to increase efficiency—Mayfield is expected to return to his early-season form. Mayfield was second in the NFL in increasing adjusted net yards per attempt with during-snap motion.

Ron Stewart projects a breakout for Emeka Egbuka, citing the arrival of Zack Robinson as play-caller and a potential shift to a Z-receiver role. Egbuka profiles as a target-hog similar to Amon-Ra St. Brown with verticality akin to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and he is expected to benefit from a healthier offensive line and Baker Mayfield's return to form.

Ron Stewart projects Zay Flowers for a major breakout with top-six overall upside under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Flowers demonstrated elite efficiency last year, ranking among the top 10 players with 200+ routes run, a 25% target-per-route-run rate, 10+ yards per target, and 10%+ first-downs-per-route-run. He leads all qualifying wide receivers in yards per route run on play-action passes over the last two seasons. The departure of Isaiah Likely removes significant red-zone target competition, further clearing a path for Flowers. Stewart ranks him as his WR7 (3.07 ADP), nine spots ahead of consensus.

Ron Stewart references Matt Harmon's reception perception data to explain how Zack Robinson's scheme transformed Drake London from a pure X receiver (82% of snaps on the line) into a Z receiver with heavy slot work. This shift serves as a blueprint for future receiver development in Robinson's offense.

Ron Stewart ranks Christian Watson as his WR27 (509 overall), 10 spots higher than consensus. Despite injury history, Watson's career efficiency (2+ YPRR) is elite. With Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks moving, Watson is projected for a full route share. In a 13-game sample with 75%+ route share, he averaged 17.5 PPG. He is expected to shift from a field-stretcher to a versatile flanker/Z role, with high efficiency on horizontally breaking routes (3.89 YPRR).

Ron Stewart identifies Colston Loveland as a target in his draft guide, projecting a potential breakout in his second season within a high-volume passing offense.

Ron Stewart respects Rome Odunze's upside as a year-three breakout candidate but is not actively targeting him, noting he is currently aligned with the market consensus as a 56th-turn wide receiver pick.

Ron Stewart ranks Luther Burden as his WR22 (404 overall), seven spots higher than consensus. Stewart views him as a high-upside breakout candidate transitioning to a full-time role following DJ Moore's departure. Burden's efficiency is supported by a 2.3+ yards per route run rate, comparable to Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase. Stewart is actively buying stock, citing praise from GM Ryan P and a Week 17 breakout performance (27.8 PPR points, 8 catches, 138 yards, 1 TD vs. 49ers).

Ron Stewart highlights George Pickens as a player who crushed his middle-round draft price, serving as a successful breakout archetype.

Ron Stewart highlights Chris Olave as a player who crushed his middle-round draft price, serving as a successful breakout archetype.

Ron Stewart cites Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a successful historical example of a breakout wide receiver who provided significant value after being drafted in the third round, ultimately scoring over 20 points per game.

Achane signed a contract extension this offseason as part of the running back market surge. The source mentions his deal alongside other elite backs to illustrate how the market for running backs inflated after the Cowboys had already locked in Javonte Williams at $24M in February.

Hall signed a contract extension this offseason as part of the running back market surge. The source mentions his deal alongside other elite backs to illustrate how the market for running backs inflated after the Cowboys had already locked in Javonte Williams at $24M in February.

Gibbs signed a three-year extension with the Detroit Lions worth up to $75.75M with $51.5M guaranteed, briefly becoming the highest-paid running back in NFL history. He finished last season ahead of Javonte Williams in rushing yards and is cited as part of the market context that validates the Cowboys' early signing of Williams at $24M.

Taylor signed a two-year, $44M extension with the Indianapolis Colts this offseason. He finished last season ahead of Javonte Williams in rushing yards and is cited as part of the running back market surge that makes Williams' earlier $24M deal look increasingly valuable by comparison.

Robinson signed a record-breaking three-year extension with the Atlanta Falcons worth up to $75M, making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history at the time. He finished last season ahead of Javonte Williams in rushing yards, but the source uses his deal as a market comparison point to illustrate how the Cowboys' earlier signing of Williams at $24M represents superior value.

Williams finished last season with 1,201 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, ranking as a top-10 back by rushing yards. The Cowboys signed him to a three-year, $24M deal in February, well before the running back market ballooned with Bijan Robinson ($75M extension), Jonathan Taylor ($44M extension), and Jahmyr Gibbs ($75.75M extension) all signing record deals this offseason. While Williams is not at the level of Robinson or Gibbs, he provides legitimate and capable talent at a significant discount relative to the market rate for comparable production; the source argues the Cowboys front office looks smart for locking him in early at pennies on the dollar compared to what elite backs are now commanding.

Taylor signed a 2-year, $44M extension with the Indianapolis Colts. The source includes Taylor's deal as part of the running back market context, noting he was one of three elite backs who finished ahead of Javonte Williams in rushing yards last season.

Gibbs signed a 3-year deal with the Detroit Lions worth up to $75.75M with $51.5M guaranteed, surpassing Bijan Robinson's record as the highest-paid running back in NFL history. The source uses Gibbs' deal as evidence of how quickly the running back market escalated this offseason.

Robinson signed a record-breaking 3-year, $75M extension with the Atlanta Falcons, making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history at the time. The source uses Robinson's deal as a market comparison point to illustrate how the running back salary landscape shifted dramatically this offseason.

Williams signed a 3-year, $24M deal with Dallas in February before the running back market exploded; he finished last season with 1,201 rushing yards and 11 TDs, ranking top-10 in rushing yards. The source argues the Cowboys got him for "pennies on the proverbial dollar" relative to subsequent market deals for Bijan Robinson ($75M), Jahmyr Gibbs ($75.75M), and Jonathan Taylor ($44M), making the early contract timing a significant financial advantage.

WR entering his second season in the offense; feels he understands things differently in Year 2; played just about every position last year which helped him going into this year; willing to take reps when guys are tired during camp; focused on attacking the ball when it's in the air to cut down flight time and generate yards after catch.

Veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton returned to full practice participation after sitting out two days and being limited yesterday. He participated fully in 7-on-7 drills and was ramping up significantly. Sutton had been held back due to load management but is now back in full pads and contributing to the offense.

Wide receiver/returner Marvin Mims pulled up on a route and was in obvious pain, walking off the field with a trainer.

Reich praised Woods as 'super talented,' highlighting his explosive blocking ability, speed with the ball in his hands, and intelligence in learning the offense; Woods has been helping teammates learn Reich's system while making an impression in practice himself.

Testing out Receiver Score 2.0, which brings more predictive elements to the model Stefon Diggs scores very well: His route diet likely translates to his new offense: quick passes, in breakers, and less vertical (better for fantasy) Below league average in routes off play action (so he didn’t get more help) Corners played tighter to him than league average (not press, but in position to jam more) Now there’s the caveat of course that he had worse target comp and better QB play, so modeling ro...

Ian Hartitz compares Bucky Irving's fantasy tier to Ke'Shawn Vaughn, suggesting Irving belongs in an ambiguous, muddled RB3 tier rather than his current early-round draft position.

Sean Tucker is projected to maintain the short-yardage role for the Buccaneers, as evidenced by his 9-0 advantage over Bucky Irving in carries inside the 5-yard line last season.

Ian Hartitz is fading Bucky Irving in 2026 drafts, noting his current ADP (RB17-RB21) is too high for a player lacking a guaranteed goal-line workload. While Irving is expected to lead the team in touches and pass-down work, Hartitz argues that betting on a player in the first five rounds who isn't a clear-cut workhorse is a steep risk. Hartitz specifically highlights that Sean Tucker maintains the short-yardage role, evidenced by a 9-0 advantage in carries inside the 5-yard line last season. Hartitz views Irving as an RB3 tier player, comparing his value to Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Rico Dowdle rather than his current early-round draft position.

Head coach John Harbaugh downplayed the concern, stating "It's natural. I think he's working through the football shape part of it" and noting that Skattebo is "coming off of rehab, so that's what that was. It won't be a serious injury at all." The issue is not related to the right ankle dislocation that ended his rookie season.

Running back Cam Skattebo had a limited workload as he returns from a dislocated ankle.

Wide receiver Malik Nabers is progressing well in his recovery from a torn ACL, showing the best movement and fluidity of the summer at Giants training camp. He moved fluidly, planted and cut hard off his surgically repaired leg during individual drills and routes on air. Head coach John Harbaugh noted that rehabilitation coordinator Allison Boudreau has been working with Nabers on off-balance and unpredictable landing situations to prepare him for the awkwardness of live football, rather than just standard rehab.

Trevor Lawrence is viewed as having overall QB1 upside at a very cheap price, making him a strong target for auction strategies.

Josh Jacobs is recommended as a backup auction target because his price may be suppressed by legal concerns, despite the likelihood that he will play a full season.

Kenneth Walker III is gaining hype due to positive training camp news regarding his involvement in the passing game, suggesting he may be used as a three-down back.

Jahan Dotson is receiving positive training camp reports, and the source hopes he can finally break out as a consistent wide receiver two in the offense.

Colston Loveland is mentioned as a second-round pick in a draft, highlighting his potential as a fantasy asset.

The source is optimistic about Trey McBride, having drafted him in the first round, and notes that getting him in the second round represents significant value.

Dallas Goedert is viewed as a more consistent and higher-upside option than Hunter Henry, particularly regarding touchdown potential, after stepping up with 11 touchdowns last season.

The source has pushed Hunter Henry down their rankings due to concerns about his job security with the emergence of rookie tight ends and a shift in the Patriots' target distribution toward receivers like AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs.

The source suggests there could be a teeter-totter situation between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. due to the new coaching staff's desire to evaluate Penix, though Tua remains the likely week one starter.

Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with a back injury, but it is not considered a major issue and he is expected to be the starter for week one.

The source acknowledges the bold take of drafting Drake London as a top-five overall wide receiver, noting he has the upside to reach that tier, though he is also considered injury-prone.

CeeDee Lamb had a subpar season last year while playing through injury, but the source expects his volume to remain strong despite the presence of George Pickens.

The source expresses low-key concern regarding Travis Kelce's fantasy value, noting he appeared to enjoy the off-season perhaps too much, and is considering finding other options.

The source is a fan of Demarcus Robinson and suggests taking shots on him in deep leagues as a potential early-season play, despite previous disappointment.

Derrick Henry is considered a high-round three or borderline round two pick, representing the depth of RB1-caliber players available this year.

Chase Brown is noted as a running back whose ADP has been pushed up, making him a relevant target in the second round of drafts.

Saquon Barkley is identified as a high-value running back target available in the second round for those employing a hero RB strategy.

De'Von Achane is highlighted as a strong running back option available in the second round, contributing to the source's recommendation of a hero RB strategy.

The source prefers the side of the trade involving Rashee Rice and Lemon over Flowers and Stours, citing concerns that Stours may not pan out as expected.

The source recommends targeting Tank Dell in late rounds. Because he did not start training camp on the PUP list, the source expects him to be ready for Week 1, though he may have a slower start to the season. The discount on his ADP makes him a worthwhile gamble despite injury concerns.

The source is very high on Trey McBride, noting that he consistently receives high volume (10+ targets per week) regardless of the team's overall performance. The source views him as a steady producer and is comfortable drafting him despite the risk associated with the Cardinals' offense.

Drake London is acknowledged as having a very high ceiling, but the source expresses concern regarding the Falcons' quarterback situation (Tua Tagovailoa vs. Michael Penix). While the source would feel comfortable with London if Penix were the guaranteed starter, the uncertainty makes London a risky top-10 pick, leading the source to prefer safer options like CeeDee Lamb.

CeeDee Lamb is ranked as the WR5 and is considered a very safe, high-volume option. The source notes that even with George Pickens' presence, Lamb was pacing for over 150 targets in healthy games last season. While he may lack the extreme ceiling of some other top receivers, his volume with Dak Prescott makes him a reliable anchor for fantasy teams.

The source recommends keeping George Pickens, noting that he is a valuable asset who could potentially be paid as a WR1 elsewhere if he does not remain with the Steelers. The source expresses confidence in his long-term outlook.

The source remains high on Justin Jefferson, preferring him in keeper formats and viewing him as a high-ceiling asset. Despite concerns about the Vikings' quarterback situation, the source believes Kevin O'Connell can maximize Jefferson's production, noting that Jefferson has historically paced for 1400+ yards in every season except last year.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is established as the clear WR1 for the Cardinals, but the source notes that because the current coaching regime lacks inherent loyalty to him, his role could be challenged if he underperforms early in the season.

Michael Wilson is highlighted as a great target in the mid-rounds. While he is currently behind Marvin Harrison Jr. on the depth chart, the source suggests that a new coaching regime in Arizona could lead to a shift in focus if Harrison underperforms early in the season.

The source notes that while Quentin Johnston is a preferred target, drafting Ladd McConkey is a reasonable alternative if one is not buying into the Johnston breakout. The source clarifies that Johnston outperforming McConkey in fantasy points per game last season is not an insult to McConkey, but rather a reflection of the Chargers' overall offensive struggles due to poor offensive line play.

The source identifies Quentin Johnston as a high-upside target in the mid-to-late rounds (ADP around pick 90-100). Despite a disappointing rookie season, he is expected to benefit from a more creative Chargers offense, a healthier offensive line, and increased passing volume under the new scheme. The source notes he actually outperformed Ladd McConkey in fantasy points per game last season and showed WR1 upside when the offensive line was healthy.

If a drafter does not believe in Quentin Johnston, they should be aggressively targeting McConkey, as the Chargers' pass volume is expected to increase under the new scheme.

The source expects a big improvement from the Chargers' offense and remains high on Johnston as a breakout candidate.

If Kyle Manungay's injury is serious, Swift's value in the Bears' run-heavy offense would be massive.

Holani is expected to play a role in the Seahawks' backfield, specifically handling passing downs, check-downs, and receiving work.

Charbonnet's availability is in question for Week 1, and the source hopes the team is simply being conservative with his injury recovery.

While talented, Strange is capped by Jacksonville's low target share to tight ends (19.2% last year). He is a stable option for DFS matchups but not a reliable double-digit weekly scorer.

Samuel's presence in the 49ers offense creates a hurdle for other receivers like Stripling, though the team plans to use him in his traditional gadget-heavy role.

Pearsall is dealing with an injury that has ended his season, which opens up opportunities for other receivers like Stripling.

Corum is preferred over Kenneth Gainwell as a high-upside handcuff. If Kyron Williams were to miss time, Corum has league-winning potential in the Rams' offense.

The source loves Gainwell but notes his ADP has risen too high, making him less of a value target compared to other options like Blake Corum.

While Evans remains a high-end producer when on the field, the source is avoiding him due to recurring hamstring injuries and the elevated risk that he will not stay healthy throughout the season.

The source agrees with the sentiment that McLaurin is poised to have a strong season within the new Washington wide receiver core.

Goedert is looking strong in training camp and is positioned for high red-zone usage following the departure of AJ Brown. He represents a high-end TE2 value at a low ADP.

Stowers missed significant off-season time due to injury and there are no encouraging reports suggesting he will be a usable fantasy asset in the near future.

Henry's production last year was inconsistent and underwhelming, and the source is skeptical about his outlook in a crowded New England offense with a new wide receiver one.

Likely remains a player the source may have to rely on at tight end, though the source expressed a desire to avoid that reliance by drafting other options.

Despite positive reports regarding his versatility and alignment usage, Sadiq is dealing with a recurring hernia issue that raises concerns about a lingering injury or the potential need for additional surgery.

Emeka Egbuka is a primary target in drafts and is more attainable than A.J. Brown. He is ranked as the WR17 and is a player the host frequently drafts.

A.J. Brown is ranked as the WR8 and remains a high-end target. Despite a minor injury, he is the clear WR1 for the Eagles and is expected to see increased volume in the upcoming season.

Xavier Worthy is dealing with a shoulder injury; while reports suggest it is not serious, it remains a point of concern for his availability.

Brandon Aiyuk remains a subject of trade speculation, with the Chiefs mentioned as a logical landing spot given their history of taking chances on receivers, though the 49ers hold leverage in the situation.

Zay Flowers is poised for a potential top-five season. With a target share consistently over 25-28% and a healthy Lamar Jackson, he is expected to see increased production in a more efficient offense.

The addition of Stefon Diggs may cause a slight dip in Terry McLaurin's ADP, which makes him an even better buy. He remains the clear WR1 in Washington and offers high-end WR3 value at his current draft price.

Rashee Rice is considered a highly volatile asset due to off-field legal risks, despite his high ceiling as the Chiefs' WR1. Trading him is difficult, and it is recommended to target other positions or lower-upside assets if looking to move him.

Bucky Irving has shown improvement in pass blocking and receiving, which could allow the Buccaneers to move away from a predictable run/pass split when he is on the field.

The Buccaneers backfield is expected to operate as a committee. While Rachaad White is excellent in the passing game, the team is looking to improve their predictability by developing other options to diversify their offensive usage.

The addition of Stefon Diggs is a positive for Jayden Daniels, as it provides a much-needed reliable pass-catcher. Despite the upgrade, Daniels remains solidified as QB5 in rankings and is unlikely to see a significant ADP bump.

While the addition of Stefon Diggs limits his potential upside, Chigoziem Okonkwo remains a viable late-round value option in tight end premium and deep leagues.

Stefon Diggs' move to the Commanders is a positive development for Jayden Daniels, providing a reliable veteran complement to Terry McLaurin. In best ball drafts, Diggs is currently settling into a round 8-9 ADP range, likely going ahead of players like Quentin Johnston and Wan'Dale Robinson.

With Cam Skattebo potentially receiving rest days as the Giants monitor his recovery from a significant leg injury, backups Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary are expected to receive extra work at the running back position during training camp and potentially into the preseason.

With Cam Skattebo potentially receiving rest days as the Giants monitor his recovery from a significant leg injury, backups Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary are expected to receive extra work at the running back position during training camp and potentially into the preseason.

Skattebo exited Giants practice early on Aug. 7 after a collision with rookie linebacker Arvell Reese. Coach John Harbaugh downplayed the incident, stating "It won't be a serious injury at all" and attributed the early exit to conditioning work as Skattebo returns from rehab following a significant right-leg injury (open ankle dislocation, fibula fracture, deltoid ligament rupture) suffered in Week 8 of his rookie season. Skattebo had surgery and was given a 4-6 month recovery timeline, expected to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season. All indications suggest he has progressed well in recovery, though the source notes it was actually his left leg that appeared to be bothering him at Friday's practice. The Giants will likely monitor him closely and may give him rest days while increasing work for backups Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary.

Raheim Sanders had his end-of-game drive end negatively on Browns training camp Day 9 when he was stripped of the ball by linebacker Winston Reid, resulting in a turnover.

Jamari Thrash was waived/injured earlier on Browns training camp Day 9, removing him from the receiver competition and roster consideration.

Cedric Tillman has not been mentioned during Browns training camp Day 9 or earlier in the camp, suggesting limited visibility or involvement in practice activities. This lack of mention contrasts with the attention given to other receivers like Luke Floriea and Gage Larvadain.

Luke Floriea, an undrafted rookie receiver from last year, has been making a strong case for a back-end roster spot or practice squad role during Browns training camp. The source notes he and fellow undrafted receiver Gage Larvadain have had a nice string of days, positioning themselves for potential roster inclusion.

Isaiah Bond had a strong day during Browns training camp Day 9, catching a deep ball from Deshaun Watson down the left sideline and later scoring a touchdown in an end-of-game situation. Bond appears to be making a case for offensive snaps and target opportunities in the Browns' receiving corps.

Dillon Gabriel threw an interception during Browns training camp Day 9 when he attempted to throw downfield on the right sideline with two defenders present, resulting in CB Donovan McMillon's interception. This continues the Browns defense's strong camp performance with 16 total interceptions.

Shedeur Sanders continues to struggle with pre-snap execution and decision-making during Browns training camp Day 9. The source notes both quarterbacks have had pre-snap penalty issues, with plays not being called fully and alignment problems persisting. Sanders also threw an interception on a downfield pass to safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, and his end-of-game drive ended with running back Raheim Sanders being stripped of the ball.

Running back Raheim Sanders was stripped of the ball by linebacker Winston Reid during an end-of-game drive with quarterback Shedeur Sanders, resulting in a turnover.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson had a mixed Day 9: he connected with Isaiah Bond on a deep ball down the left sideline and later found Bond for a touchdown in an end-of-game situation, but he also sailed a pass over Bond's head that was intercepted by cornerback Denzel Ward. He continues to compete in the quarterback battle with mixed results.
