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.

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.

Cardinals | Carson Beck named starter for Hall of Fame game Tue Aug 4, 02:04 PM

Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck will start for the team in the Hall of Fame game on Thursday, Aug. 6.

Footballguys view: In announcing that Beck will get the start against the Panthers, head coach Mike LaFleur did not lay out the plan for the rest of the game for the quarterback spot, but it seems unlikely that Jacoby Brissett or Gardner Minshew would get tabbed for any work with the third-round pick starting the game. 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.

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.

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq suffered setback Tue Aug 4, 11:40 AM

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) suffered a setback in his recovery from hernia surgery and will miss time. Head coach Aaron Glenn is confident Sadiq will be ready for the regular season.

Footballguys view: Sadiq, who was the 16th overall pick in April, had the procedure in May. 2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert, Jelani Woods, and Chase Curtis remain available at tight end for the Jets. While Sadiq has considerable value in dynasty leagues, his redraft ADP -- TE21 -- reflects skepticism about the short-term outlook.

Eagles | Makai Lemon sitting Tuesday Tue Aug 4, 10:35 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) is out of practice Tuesday, Aug. 4.

Footballguys view: Early reports suggest the injury isn't serious. NBCSports' Reuben Frank notes the Eagles are generally conservative with these sorts of soft-tissue injuries. For a rookie, missing training camp installation days can be a significant setback, and the sooner Lemon, who was watching Tuesday's session from the sideline, gets back, the easier it will be for him to acclimate to this offense.

Eagles | DeVonta Smith idle Tuesday Tue Aug 4, 09:29 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out of practice Tuesday, Aug. 4.

Footballguys view: According to local reports, the Eagles don't believe the injury is serious. There's no timetable for Smith's return, however. NBCSports' Reuben Frank notes the Eagles are generally conservative with these sorts of soft-tissue injuries. With Smith and rookie Makai Lemon (hamstring) both watching from the sidelines, the Eagles had offseason acquisitions Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore, and Dontayvion Wicks at WR at practice Tuesday, along with incumbents Darius Cooper, Johnny Wilson, Danny Gray, and Quez Watkins. We'll continue to watch for more.

Falcons | Bijan Robinson extended Tue Aug 4, 09:25 AM

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson received a three-year extension Tuesday, Aug. 4, worth up to $75 million that will make him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $51 million guaranteed.

Footballguys view: Robinson had been holding in since the first day of training camp last Wednesday. Now under contract with the Falcons through 2030, Robinson should return Tuesday afternoon. He led the NFL in scrimmage yards last season (2,298) and was fourth in rushing yards (1,478). His 93-yard rushing touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams was the longest in the NFL last season. Robinson is currently being drafted as RB2. But with the current RB1, Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs, still holding in, it'll be interesting to see if investors gain a bit more confidence in Robinson in the short term.

Seahawks | George Holani working ahead of Emanuel Wilson Tue Aug 4, 02:23 AM

Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani is currently looking like one of the top two options at running back alongside rookie RB Jadarian Price, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson, who writes that RB Emanuel Wilson would be mixed in as a 'powerful complement.'

Footballguys view: It's not known when Zach Charbonnet will be ready to play or how the work will be split up once last year's co-starter returns after having ACL surgery in February. In the meantime, Holani, Price, and Wilson are all competing for their share of what's likely to be a three-player backfield committee. We'll be watching this backfield closely all month as we try to gain insight into their anticipated roles. Price is currently being drafted as RB26 while Holani is an afterthought at RB66. If Holani's current role persists, that price is a discount.

Panthers | Xavier Legette in camp battle with David Moore Tue Aug 4, 01:55 AM

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette is 'well-positioned' to win the No. 3 receiver job, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, though Fowler adds that WR David Moore is 'trusted and reliable' after working with head coach Dave Canales and offensive coordinator Brad Idzik with the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before arriving in Carolina.

Footballguys view: Legette, a first-round pick in 2024, entered camp with heat on him after a subpar start to his pro career. The Panthers view Legette at his best when playing fast, and Fowler reports they don't want to overload his plate as a result. If Legette slips, Moore -- who should have a role regardless -- can step into a larger one. Neither Legette nor Moore is currently on redraft radars, but a solid No. 3 role for either would put them on the waiver-wire watchlist when the season opens.
