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.

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.'

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. Fowler writes that if Legette 'slips,' Moore could step in a larger role.

Giants | Four veteran wideouts battling for one spot? Tue Aug 4, 01:35 AM

New York Giants WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster, Braxton Berrios, Isaiah Hodgins, and Odell Beckham Jr. are likely competing for one spot, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, though he adds that a second spot could initially be available depending on the health of WR Malik Nabers (knee).

Footballguys view: Raanan added that the Giants have five locks at the position: Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney, Darius Slayton, Calvin Austin III, and rookie Malachi Fields. That leaves one or two open spots, depending on Nabers' health. New coach John Harbaugh made it clear to Beckham and the others that they would be competing for roster spots. Nothing was assured. So this will come down to the Giants' needs and who performs best at training camp this summer.

Raiders | Jack Bech scuffling in pursuit of No. 3 receiver role Tue Aug 4, 01:16 AM

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jack Bech is one of three receivers, along with WRs Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Malik Benson, to be rotated into the WR3 spot. According to ESPN's Ryan McFadden, however, 'no one has stood out.'

Footballguys view: With Jalen Nailor and Tre Tucker serving as the top two wideouts, McFadden believes that -- at least for the time being -- the receiver position "continues to be a weak spot on the roster." McFadden added that during team drills, the majority of quarterback Kirk Cousins' targets have gone to tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, and his checkdowns to running back Ashton Jeanty. It's still early, and someone could emerge at some point during camp, but for now, the wide receiver room continues to be a weak spot on the roster.

Bengals | Andrei Iosivas tightening his grip on No. 3 receiver spot Tue Aug 4, 12:58 AM

Cincinnati Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas has had a 'strong start to training camp,' per ESPN's Ben Baby, who adds that Iosivas should 'settle into the role' of WR3 whenever the Bengals utilize a three-receiver formation.

Footballguys view: While Iosivas is the projected No. 3, fourth-round pick Colbie Young is among the group trying to earn snaps with the first-team offense. Iosivas had a down 2025 season after a very productive flourish early in his career. Only two of his 12 total touchdowns came in 2025. Even assuming he earns that No. 3 role, opportunities behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will be minimal, and Iosivas should not be on your draft radar.

Patriots | Kayshon Boutte standing out in camp Tue Aug 4, 12:37 AM

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte has been the 'early star' of training camp, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss, who notes that the team could look to trade a receiver based on the team's depth at the position. For now, Boutte is behind WRs A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs on the depth chart, and likely WR Mack Hollins as well.

Footballguys view: Reports of Boutte's impressive training camp have become a persistent drumbeat. While there's been speculation about a possible trade (and the Commanders are just one of the teams with a need at wideout), it's not a stretch to believe Boutte will be a contributor if he remains in New England. We'll continue to monitor.

Titans | Elic Ayomanor making plays Mon Aug 3, 06:03 PM

Tennessee Titans WR Elic Ayomanor has caught 12 passes in the first four practices of training camp, which is more than any other receiver.

Jaguars | Parker Washington the go-to guy? Mon Aug 3, 05:55 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington has 'routinely been the top target' for QB Trevor Lawrence during training camp, according to John Shipley of SI.com.

Footballguys view: Another day, another item that indicates that Washington's hot finish to 2025 was more than new norm than a fluke. He's a great value in PPR leagues at his current ADP in the sixth round, and would probably be a value in the fifth round at this point too.

Jaguars | Travis Hunter refining skills Mon Aug 3, 05:55 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter has continued to develop as a receiver, according to offensive coordinator Grant Udinski.'He's continued to progress from a route technique fundamental standpoint, but also a knowledge of the offense and just the system in general,' Udinski said.

Footballguys view: There are no signs that Hunter will have a large offensive role, but there are no signs that the Jaguars are going to stop using him on offense either. As long as Hunter gets to plays a few snaps with the offense, the door will be open for him to gain fantasy value either due to injury or his play earning him more targets. He remains one of the highest upside picks on the board in the second half of drafts.

Patriots | Drake Maye to push the pace Mon Aug 3, 05:55 PM

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye and the offense are going to 'push the tempo' more this season, according to offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels

Footballguys view: This is never a bad thing for an offense's fantasy prospects. More plays means more opportunities to rack up yards and points, and all of that intersects at Maye. If you were thinking about taking Maye as the third quarterback off of the board in your draft, this backs up the case for doing that.

Vikings | Jordan Mason in great shape Mon Aug 3, 05:55 PM

Jordan Mason showed up to training camp lighter and in great shape, according to offensive coordinator Wesley Phillips and head coach Kevin O'Connell. 'You guys can probably even tell just the way he looks,' O'Connell said. 'He's in unbelievable shape right now.'

Footballguys view: If you're going to take a Vikings running back, Mason is probably the best pick, but the fact that all are going in the 10th round or later reflects the uncertainty of the split with veteran Aaron Jones, who was brought back on a reduced salary, and sixth round pick Demond Claiborne, who should figure in some as a change of pace to Mason and passing down option along with Jones. If the quarterback play is better than expected and the offensive line stays healthy (unlike last year), Mason could be a modest hit as a touchdown/game script driven RB2/Flex play.

Cardinals | Knee issue for Trey Benson Mon Aug 3, 05:53 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) is dealing with some discomfort in his knee but is not expected to be sidelined for long, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.

Packers | Jayden Reed the No. 2 receiver? Mon Aug 3, 04:42 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed worked alongside WR Christian Watson in two-receiver sets on Sunday, Aug. 2.

Footballguys view: We also had Jordan Love saying Matthew Golden will be the "X" receiver, which would imply that he could get in some two wide receiver sets with Watson, who will presumably work as the "Z" receiver. Reed should get more snaps and targets with Romeo Doubs gone to New England, but just how much more - and how much value Golden could have this year - will depend on who is on the field in two wide receiver sets.

Browns | KC Concepcion injured Monday, expected to be ok Mon Aug 3, 03:32 PM

Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion (shoulder) suffered an apparent shoulder injury during practice Monday, Aug. 3.

Footballguys view: The team is expecting him to be fine and he did not suffer a serious injury per NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Concepcion brings quickness and speed that the offense sorely needs in the passing game, so he could secure a big role quickly if he can stay healthy after the Browns took him in the first round of the draft in April.

49ers | No practice for Kaelon Black Mon Aug 3, 01:49 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 3, because of an adductor issue.

49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling day-to-day Mon Aug 3, 01:46 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) is considered day-to-day because of a hamstring injury.

Footballguys view: Let's hope that this is a short absence for Stribling, who the team is going to need to play right away with Ricky Pearsall on the shelf for the entire season. As long as he gets back to practice in a few days and doesn't have a recurrence of this issue, Stribling will have a place on our late round target list.

49ers | Mike Evans sitting out Monday Mon Aug 3, 01:38 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quadriceps) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 3, because of strained quadriceps.

Footballguys view: Evans already had some injury worries simply because of age and his track record lately. The 49ers injury curse isn't helping here, as he is now the fourth 49ers wide receiver to miss time with an injury this summer. The team signed Deebo Samuel to help, and second round pick De'Zhaun Stribling could play a large role, but he is dealing with hamstring tightness.

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy expected back this week Mon Aug 3, 01:20 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is dealing with a sprained shoulder but is expected to return to practice later this week, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Footballguys view: This checks out as a minor injury, but it won't help us believe that Worthy will be able to stay healthy and hit his ceiling this season. Tyquan Thornton would be the next man up in the deep passing game, and rookie fifth round pick Cyrus Allen was also earning time with the first team and Patrick Mahomes before he got banged up as a punt gunner in practice earlier this week.

Chiefs | Cyrus Allen should return soon Mon Aug 3, 01:13 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen (shin) is expected to return to practice at some point this week, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Free-agent DT Travis Bell (Vikings) signed with the Cleveland Browns Monday, Aug. 3, on an undisclosed deal. RB T.J. Harden was waived.

Giants | Isaiah Likely to be a featured option Mon Aug 3, 10:32 AM

New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely is expected to be a utility weapon rather than a traditional tight end, and the team seems intent on featuring him in all three levels. The Giants move him throughout the formation, and he has displayed clear early chemistry with QB Jaxson Dart.

Footballguys view: Consider Likely the replacement for Wan'Dale Robinson, who gave Jaxson Dart a high percentage target in the short range passing game last year. Robinson is with the Titans now, where he will play that same role for Cam Ward. Likely, like Robinson, followed his previous head coach to a new team, so we shouldn't worry about how he is viewed. Head coach John Harbaugh has already said that Likely's stats will go up in his new home.

Falcons | Tua Tagovailoa returns Mon Aug 3, 10:07 AM

Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) returned to practice Monday, Aug. 3.

Footballguys view: Tagovailoa should have ample opportunity to set the bar high for Michael Penix Jr. to reach to make this a competition when he returns from ACL surgery. Penix should be back by the end of the month if he doesn't have any setbacks, but Tagovailoa's quick trigger and experience should make him the favorite.

Bears | Kyle Monangai returns to practice, dealing with soft tissue injury Mon Aug 3, 09:12 AM

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (leg) is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, according to head coach Ben Johnson. 'We're taking it day-by-day,' Johnson said. 'It should be on the shorter side.'

Footballguys view: He returned to practice today, so Johnson's relative lack of concern appears to be appropriate. As long as Monangai doesn't have a recurrence of the injury, this shouldn't change his fantasy outlook. The lack of information did alarm the fantasy community, but now that the absence has been addressed, we can go back to DEFCON 5 on the Monangai injury alert.
