Jets | Geno Smith pushing ball downfield Wed Aug 5, 10:21 AM
New York Jets QB Geno Smith has been testing all three levels of the defense and really wants to push the ball downfield.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have skill position players who can attack all levels of the defense, so it makes sense Smith would be distributing the rock all over the field. With WR Garrett Wilson as the primary target, we should see Smith target him early and often. He's also got guys like WR Adonai Mitchell, rookie WR Omar Cooper, and rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq (plus RB Breece Hall out of the backfield). The Jets don't have their future franchise QB, and Smith is just a QB3 for Fantasy GMs in 2026. Let some of these young players develop and draft a franchise quarterback, and the Jets will be competitive in the future. |

NFL | Zach Ertz wants to play in 2026 Wed Aug 5, 10:21 AM
Free agent TE Zach Ertz officially has been cleared for all football activities and wants to play this season, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday, Aug. 4.
| Footballguys view: Ertz tore his ACL last year in Week 14 playing for the Commanders. The 35-year old tight end may not be the player he used to be, but he did post 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns last year. Now that he's been medically cleared, Ertz should have interest from a few teams in need of veteran depth at the position. |

Colts | Daniel Jones looking fully recovered Wed Aug 5, 01:48 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) hasn't missed any days of practice thus far and has taken every snap with the first-team offense, per ESPN's Stephen Holder, who adds that Jones has 'put to rest' any uncertainties that may have existed coming into camp regarding his availability after tearing his Achilles last December.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Colts here. If Jones can stay healthy, the Colts are contenders for the AFC South title and could make a deeper-than-some-think postseason run. He's trending to start in Week 1, and Jones is a QB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs. Jones currently is going off the board at QB19 (14.09) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane shining in camp Wed Aug 5, 01:24 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane has been the 'star' of training camp, in the opinion of ESPN's Jamison Hensley, who writes that Lane has become the team's No. 3 receiver behind WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
| Footballguys view: Lane, a third-round pick out of USC, has the ability to win above the rim. He's a big target who uses a basketball-like skill set to go get the ball. He's been a 'drumbeat' player this offseason with many news items highlighting how the rookie has been catching the eye of QB Lamar Jackson. Lane isn't getting drafted right now in 12-team PPR leagues, but you could take him as a late-round flier in deeper leagues (and we certainly appreciate his skill set in dynasty formats). |

49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling continuing to impress Wed Aug 5, 12:59 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling is having a 'strong start' to training camp, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner, who writes that the rookie 'offers a size and speed element the Niners have lacked.' Stribling is lining up in multiple spots, and Wagoner suggests that he could operate as a 'supercharged, oversize slot receiver.'
| Footballguys view: Stribling has a game that features speed, tenacious blocking, and run-after-the-catch ability. It's no surprise the rookie has been standing out with the 49ers, but he has had a hamstring injury that has kept him out of practice for a few days. He needs to get healthy (a recent problem for 49ers wideouts) and continue to impress in training camp and the preseason. Stribling has a current ADP of WR69 (15.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
49ers | Deebo Samuel to fill complementary role? Wed Aug 5, 12:41 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel is unlikely to be a 'focal point of the offensive unit like he once was,' in the opinion of ESPN's Nick Wagoner, who writes that the team is expected to 'lean on [Samuel's] versatility and hope that his threat can open things up for their other playmakers.'
| Footballguys view: He's not the player he used to be, and Fantasy GMs are not expecting him to be. However, there are some expectations for a veteran player on a team with questionable wide receivers. Samuel has a current ADP of WR55 (13.06) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

49ers | Ricky Pearsall facing lengthy recovery Wed Aug 5, 12:25 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) will be out of action for around nine months after he undergoes surgery, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner.
| Footballguys view: That means he should be fully recovered well ahead of training camp in 2027. Pearsall was dealing with the same PCL that he worked through last year, and there was a thought he wouldn't need surgery. Instead, he does need surgery and now will be on the road to recovery (again) post-surgery. Dynasty GMs might want to throw out some low-ball offers just to see. Pearsall is a lottery-ticket type of player who could pay some dividends in 2027 and beyond...if he can stay healthy. |
49ers | Brandon Aiyuk remains in limbo Wed Aug 5, 12:05 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk has yet to apply to the NFL for reinstatement or inform the team that he plans to report for training camp. As such, Aiyuk remains on the reserve/left squad list, which means he does not count on the team's roster or salary cap.
| Footballguys view: What's there to say about a player in limbo? Aiyuk has suggested he would play for the Commanders if possible, but he's still under contract with the 49ers. Aiyuk hasn't played in some time (2024), and that year he posted a 25-374-0 line in seven games before suffering a torn ACL in Week 7. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield, TB 'on collision course for franchise tag' Tue Aug 4, 04:26 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers are on a 'collision course for franchise tag' which would pay him at least $47 million in 2027, in the opinion of ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday, Aug. 4.
| Footballguys view: The past three Bucs who received the tag -- Antoine Winfield Jr., Chris Godwin Jr., and Shaquil Barrett -- all got long-term deals eventually. Mayfield knows this is a possibility and isn't afraid of it. Fowler notes the tag could also be a way for the Bucs to facilitate a trade to a QB-needy team, acquiring draft capital to select the quarterback of the future. Until then, the Bucs know Mayfield has been at his best when slighted, highly motivated, and riled up. It's worked for them in the past, and Mayfield definitely has something to prove this year. |

Packers | Micah Parsons 'back to running' Tue Aug 4, 04:16 PM
Green Bay Packers DL Micah Parsons (knee) is reportedly back to running and is hoping to start making cuts on his knee in the next six weeks, according to Parsons on Tuesday, Aug. 4.
| Footballguys view: It remains unclear when Parsons will be back on the field. The Packers know his long-term value to the team is greater than what a few early-season games are worth, so everyone should be on board with Parsons getting as much time as needed to feel like he can be the defensive force that the Packers need him to be this season. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Bears | Darnell Wright, CHI agree to four-year extension Tue Aug 4, 04:08 PM
Chicago Bears OT Darnell Wright and the Bears reportedly agree to a four-year contract extension worth $116 million, with $93 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday, Aug. 4.
| Footballguys view: Wright, a first-round pick in 2023, was an AP second-team All-Pro in 2025. He's started 49 games over his first three seasons. As Profootballtalk.com noted, the Bears had exercised Wright's fifth-year option in the spring, which had put him under contract through 2027. Now the team has a key pillar locked in for several years to come. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks will not play in Hall of Fame game Tue Aug 4, 02:49 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will not play in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Thursday, Aug. 6. Brooks has not played for the Panthers since December of 2024.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers selected Brooks in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. But a pair of ACL tears, one while at the University of Texas and the other during his rookie season in Carolina, has limited him to just three games since. Brooks, however, has received rave reviews throughout what's been his first full NFL offseason -- and seems encouraged by his progress. Fantasy investors are encouraged, too. Brooks' ADP has risen to RB37, which is up considerably over the last month. |

Kedon Slovis is the fourth quarterback on the roster in Arizona and will likely see playing time after Beck's night in Canton comes to an end. |

Link to story Ravens | WR Zay Flowers gets four-year, $140 million extension Tue Aug 4, 01:29 PM
Two-time Pro Bowl receiver Zay Flowers has agreed with the Baltimore Ravens on a four-year, $140 million extension that includes $108 million guaranteed, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The $35 million average annual value ties him with Minnesota's Justin Jefferson as the fourth-highest-paid wide receiver.
| Footballguys view: Flowers, who will turn 26 in September, carried Baltimore's passing attack last season. His 1,211 yards receiving accounted for 36.9% of the Ravens' total receiving yards, which was the second-highest share by any player in 2025 behind Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba (44.1%), who is the NFL's highest-paid receiver at $42.15 million per year. Last season, he set career highs with 86 catches; no other Ravens wide receiver had more than 25 catches or 400 yards in 2025. Flowers, who finished 2025 as WR7, is currently being drafted as WR15. |
