Saints | NO, Chris Olave still talking deal Sat Jul 25, 03:17 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is still talking with the Saints about a possible contract extension, but his practice participation is not expected to affected by the contract talks, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Olave is set to play the 2026 season on his fifth-year option, but there could be a new extension done before the start of the regular season. He's gained some muscle this offseason, and reports indicate he's looked 'great' in limited work. Olave and the Saints have been talking for some time, and there was hope a deal could get done before the start of camp. They're still talking, but we have to see if any movement comes from these most recent conversations. |
49ers | Brandon Aiyuk still on left squad list Sat Jul 25, 02:42 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk will remain on the left squad list, and the team will focus on the players that reported for training camp, according to general manager John Lynch.
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk has proclaimed that he would sign with the Commanders this offseason if the 49ers released him. Lynch made it sound like that's not going to happen anytime in the near future, so the NFL world waits (some more) for this Aiyuk situation to work itself out. Aiyuk did not play at all last year, and the last time he caught a pass in an NFL game was Week 7 of the 2024 season. |

Rams | Puka Nacua will be at camp Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua will report to training camp on time and participate in practices even though he is entering the final year of his contract, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: There was some speculation that Nacua could hold out as he seeks a new contract. One of the league's best receivers, Nacua has had a tumultuous offseason to say the least. Nacua could have to play out the year without an extension, even though Rams HC Sean McVay says he wants Nacua to be a Ram for a "really long time." We'll see him out there in camp, and then we'll monitor any progress on a new contract. |

Bears | Zavion Thomas to be used multiple ways? Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM
Chicago Bears WR Zavion Thomas could be used on special teams, at wide receiver and in the backfield this season.
| Footballguys view: Another day, and another report about Thomas being used in a variety of ways. The rookie receiver from LSU has been impressing this offseason, and Dynasty GMs are loving the news. Veteran WR Kalif Raymond should be the Bears' no.3 receiver behind Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. However, Thomas and that world-class speed are going to be tempting to get on the field - both on offense and special teams. Expect Thomas to push Raymond for snaps as the season goes on. |
Dolphins | Caleb Douglas to start as a rookie? Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas has a chance to earn a starting role this season, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Texas Tech in the 2026 NFL Draft, Douglas has a great size-speed combination. With a large wingspan and the ability to take the top off the defense, Douglas could be a big-play weapon for QB Malik Willis. However, he needs to play with more physicality at the catch point and cut down on his concentration drops to truly play up to his potential. We'll see in training camp and the preseason how the Dolphins' WR depth chart shapes up with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Douglas competing for the top spots. |
Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan on the field Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot) has been able to practice at training camp after missing time during spring activities with a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: While limited in the spring, McMillan was planning on being ready for the start of training camp - which he is. He had a spectacular season as a rookie (70 catches, 1,014 yards, seven touchdowns), so Fantasy GMs are taking him at WR17 (4.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. With reports suggesting McMillan will play more 'big slot' this year, he could outperform his ADP. |
Chargers | Bolts counting on Tre Harris Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris is expected to be 'a legitimate part of the passing offense' in 2026, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: This has been a consistent drumbeat this offseason - everyone is expecting a breakout season from Harris. The second-year pro has incredible run-after-the-catch skill, something that should serve him well in a Mike McDaniel offense. We like Harris as a WR7 for your fantasy team, and this positive offseason buzz means Fantasy GMs should be considering him a late-round flier. |
Ravens | Baltimore adding Chris Moore Fri Jul 24, 06:03 PM

Giants | Projection of No PUP list for Malik Nabers Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) will not start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
| Footballguys view: This won't be confirmed until Nabers passes a physical, but it is a turn to a more optimistic view of Nabers recovery from knee surgery than we heard during the offseason. His ADP is likely to spike back into the second round, and Jaxson Dart's stock could also be lifted by this news. Still, it was reported elsewhere yesterday that Nabers has a "realistic chance" of playing Week 1, which indicates that this isn't exactly a routine return from a routine knee surgery. Nabers had a second surgery around late April/early May to "clean up" scar tissue that was causing stiffness. We will be monitoring this closely, stay tuned. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice cleared for practice Fri Jul 24, 04:09 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) has been cleared to practice during training camp, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: This is good news after Rice had a minor knee surgery and then immediately reported to jail for 30 days for a probation violation. He was allowed to leave jail for injury rehab, and the surgery was in May, so as long as Rice doesn't have a setback, we can consider him healthy. |

Giants | Malik Nabers could play Week 1 Thu Jul 23, 03:22 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers has 'a realistic possibility' to play in Week 1, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
| Footballguys view: Nabers should be able to avoid the PUP list according to this report. That means he could participate in a limited fashion at the start of training camp. We're not sure how much (if at all) Nabers will play in the preseason, but this is a positive update as he continues to recover from the knee injury that cut his 2025 season short last September. |
Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan to get more work in the slot Thu Jul 23, 03:14 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan is expected to play 'a lot more big slot' in 2026, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe.
| Footballguys view: This report indicates we could see the team double the amount of snaps McMillan had at 'big slot' last year. That could put him in the nearly 30 percent range of routes run against safeties and linebackers. McMillan has a current ADP of WR17 (4.02) and getting more 'big slot' opportunities will help him perform up to expectations. |
Eagles | Nick Sirianni 'excited' for DeVonta Smith to get extra targets Thu Jul 23, 01:29 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith should see extra targets coming his way in 2026 following the trade of WR AJ Brown. Head coach Nick Sirianni is 'excited' about the opportunities he will have.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs should be excited about what Smith could do this year. There has been plenty of buzz about Smith being the Eagles version of Jaxon Smith-Njigba - meaning he's going to be in line for a ton of targets. He is going off the board near the beginning of the third round in 12-team PPR leagues. There's no doubt Smith could post WR1 numbers in 2026. |

NFL | Tyreek Hill still struggling Thu Jul 23, 10:03 AM
Free-agent WR Tyreek Hill (Dolphins) said he still has no power in his left leg after suffering a dislocated knee and multiple ligament tears in Week 4 last season. 'So it's about 10 months after doing two surgeries,' Hill said. 'My left leg is the one that I injured. I have no power in my left leg, so I'm trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it's one day at a time.'
| Footballguys view: Hill didn't add a timeline for his recovery, but he did say that his timeline is "looking real good right now." Well, it seems like Hill is not going to be ready to play until late in the regular season or perhaps into the postseason. We'll see how many teams show interest when Hill is closer to playing. |

NFL | Deebo Samuel ready to play Wed Jul 22, 04:24 PM
Free-agent WR Deebo Samuel (Commanders) said he is looking to continue his playing career and will be ready to play once the right opportunity comes around.
| Footballguys view: Samuel became a free agent in March when his contract with the Commanders expired. In a YouTube video, Samuel told viewers he's ready to hit the ground running once a chance to play materializes. Samuel scored 42 touchdowns as a receiver and runner over six seasons with the 49ers. He caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns after being traded to the Commanders last year. That production was down from his best years with the Niners, and it remains to be seen where he might get a chance to show he still has a lot in the tank. |

Commanders | Treylon Burks likely to make team Tue Jul 21, 02:39 PM
Washington Commanders WR Treylon Burks is not guaranteed a roster spot but is likely to make the 53-man roster, in the opinion of CommandersWire's Bryan Manning.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders have not added a veteran free-agent receiver this summer, despite the clear need for a No. 2 receiver opposite Terry McLaurin. That doesn't mean they won't sign someone like Stefon Diggs off the street, but unless and until they do, Burks should benefit from increased opportunities in camp. As SBNation noted, this is a prove-it year for a 26-year-old who has flashed but never established himself as a steady threat. Injuries have been the biggest roadblock for a player who hasn't exceeded 444 receiving yards in a season. We'll be watching for more over the next month. |
Panthers | Xavier Legette 'on the hot seat' this season Tue Jul 21, 12:58 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette is 'on the hot seat' this season, in the opinion of The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: Legette, John Metchie, and Chris Brazzell II will likely compete for the No. 3 receiver job during the offseason workouts and training camp. Legette has the size and speed to be a run-after-catch threat, but hasn't shown the ability to win downfield. Brazzell is a long, fast, flexible receiver in the mold of George Pickens, who could make a splash right away given the quality of Bryce Young's deep ball. That said, the Panthers' pass offense isn't at the level where it can support three fantasy-relevant wide receivers, so investors shouldn't dive too deep here. |
Texans | HOU worked out DJ Turner Mon Jul 20, 09:09 PM
Free-agent WR DJ Turner (Raiders) reportedly worked out with the Houston Texans, according to a source on Monday, July 20.
Link to story Seahawks | Two DBs not ready to practice Mon Jul 20, 04:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (undisclosed) and CB Tyrone Broden (undisclosed) were placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, it's currently unclear what landed Emmanwori on the PUP list, as he was a participant during the club's offseason program. But at this time of year, Emmanwori can come off the list to practice at any time. One of the league's best defensive rookies last year, Emmanwori tallied 81 total tackles with nine tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, 11 passes defensed, and an interception in 14 regular-season games in 2025. We'll monitor his status as camp gets underway. |
Commanders | Luke McCaffrey may join starting lineup Mon Jul 20, 01:30 PM
Washington Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey could earn the No. 2 receiver job if he performs well during training camp and the preseason, in the opinion of CommandersWire's Bryan Manning.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey was trending in the right direction before breaking his collarbone midway through last season. He quickly established himself as one of the NFL's top kickoff returners in the first half, averaging almost 30 yards per return. As a receiver, McCaffrey only had 15 targets in nine games, but caught 11 passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns. He also averaged 18.5 yards per reception. While the Commanders are reportedly in the market for a WR2 -- Stefon Diggs has been mentioned -- it'll be interesting to see which current receivers, including McCaffrey, make a case in camp. |
Eagles | Dontayvion Wicks wants to prove himself Mon Jul 20, 12:20 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks said he is ready to prove that the Eagles made the correct decision trading for him this offseason. 'It just showed me the value and love that Philly has for me, and I want to come out and show what I'm worth,' Wicks said.
| Footballguys view: After the trade, Wicks signed a one-year, $12.5 million extension that has him tied to the club through the 2027 season. Wicks is familiar with the system he's joining, as another Packers transplant, Sean Mannion, is the Eagles' new offensive coordinator. Still, where Wicks slots in remains to be seen. Joining him are first-round pick Makai Lemon, veteran Marquise Brown, another former Packer, Samori Toure, Elijah Moore, and holdover Johnny Wilson. The unquestioned leader of the group is Devonta Smith, who's coming off his third career 1,000-yard season and is quarterback Jalen Hurts' top target. It's a situation to watch. |

Giants | Several WRs battling for key backup jobs Sun Jul 19, 05:30 PM
New York Giants WRs Calvin Austin III, Isaiah Hodgins and JuJu Smith-Schuster are battling to serve as backups to the top three starting WRs Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton and Darnell Mooney. Rookie draft pick WR Malachi Fields is also expected to be either third or fourth on the depth chart. WR Odell Beckham Jr. was brought in trying to rekindle his career, so he is also in the mix.

Giants | Odell Beckham Jr. will be role player Sun Jul 19, 05:17 PM

Seahawks | Number of candidates for reserve WR role Sun Jul 19, 03:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks WRs Irvin Charles, Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Cody White and Ricky White III are all candidates for the sixth receiver role, should the organization carry that many wideouts. WR Dareke Young (Raiders) filled that role as a gunner and special teams stalwart, but it's uncertain if the team will elect to go that route. Henderson might be the most proven special teams player for his good work at the University of Kansas in 2025.
Link to story Seahawks | Jake Bobo expected to make roster Sun Jul 19, 03:16 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Jake Bobo is projected to be the fifth receiver on the 53-man roster, especially since the organization matched a two-year, $5.5 million offer sheet from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Seahawks | Rasheed Shahid has developed rapport with QB Sun Jul 19, 03:08 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed could be poised for a big step forward as a receiver in 2026 after showing growing rapport with QB Sam Darnold during spring workouts.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed will be the #2 passing game option after Jaxon Smith-Njigba and should be a target in best ball leagues with his deep speed and big play ability. Shaheed would be the #1 beneficiary if defenses decide to make Darnold to throw to someone other than Smith-Njigba and devote double coverage to him more often this season. |
Ravens | Cortez Braham Jr. faces uphill climb Sun Jul 19, 01:15 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Cortez Braham Jr. faces an uphill climb for a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp and the preseason due to a crowded receivers' room. At 6-foot-2 and 203 pounds, he is a big target, but with WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman as starters, and WRs Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt drafted with expectations, Braham has tough odds to crack through. Holdover WRs Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester are also obstacles for the undrafted rookie.
Link to story Texans | Nico Collins explains limited workload Sun Jul 19, 01:07 PM
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins was limited in minicamp, working on the side, but he said Sunday, July 19, that it was not due to any kind of injury. The coaching staff and general manager were simply holding him back as a precaution, and trying to get him ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: We'll be watching to make sure Collins isn't limited to begin camp, but there's no reason that he would be assuming the Texans are being honest here. Tank Dell's comeback from a catastrophic 2024 leg injury will be the big camp story at wide receiver for Houston. |

Seahawks | Two SEA rookies cleared for training camp Sun Jul 19, 11:07 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Emmanuel Henderson Jr. (undisclosed) and DB Andre Fuller (undisclosed) were both recently placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list to begin training camp but were immediately removed after passing physicals.
Link to story Ravens | GM optimistic about Rashod Bateman Sat Jul 18, 10:14 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman is coming off a disappointing 2025 season, but general manager Eric DeCosta said he expects Bateman to have a productive season in 2026 and is excited to see him in offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's system.
| Footballguys view: Last summer, the Ravens signed Bateman to a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension. They did not get their money's worth, as Bateman struggled through an ankle injury and finished with a career-low 224 receiving yards. If the Ravens can get Bateman back to producing as he did in 2024, when he had career-highs of 756 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, that would bring back an explosive element in Baltimore's new offense. Given Bateman's WR93 ADP, fantasy investors aren't expecting the rebound. |
Rashod Bateman player page
Eagles | Makai Lemon a full go Sat Jul 18, 12:24 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) said he is back at full strength ahead of training camp.
| Footballguys view: As SBNation noted, with A.J. Brown in New England, Lemon has a clear path to playing the No. 2 role behind DeVonta Smith in an Eagles offense that will have more timing throws (and under-center snaps) for quarterback Jalen Hurts under new coordinator Sean Mannion. The 2026 first-rounder dealt with the hamstring issue throughout the Eagles' offseason program, but he'll work without restrictions once training camp opens. With a WR40 ADP, Lemon is a solid speculative play based on anticipated workload. But he'll need to earn his spot ahead of Dontayvion Wicks, Hollywood Brown, and Elijah Moore. |
Giants | Darnell Mooney to man the slot? Sat Jul 18, 12:19 AM
New York Giants WR Darnell Mooney is expected to be the starting slot receiver after WR Wan'Dale Robinson signed with the Tennessee Titans in free agency.
| Footballguys view: Losing Wan'Dale Robinson, who emerged as one of the better slot receivers in the league, is tough, but New York replaced him with a very reliable slot option in Mooney. While he had a down year in Atlanta last season, Mooney has two seasons right around the 1,000-yard mark under his belt. With a WR82 ADP, Mooney is likely to be available on your waiver wire after the season opens. |
Darnell Mooney player page
Seahawks | Tory Horton expected at camp Sat Jul 18, 12:15 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (shin) is expected to be a participant once training camp starts. He missed offseason workouts because of his shin injury.
| Footballguys view: Horton burst onto the scene early in the 2025 season by catching a touchdown in three of his first five games. In the final game of his rookie season, Horton caught four passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns. But Rashid Shaheed had a strong offseason, and the Seahawks gave him a new contract with the expectation that he'll produce more than he did after his arrival last year. According to SI.com, Seattle needs somebody to complement Jaxon Smith-Njigba, whose target share of nearly 36% last season was the highest of any player since 2012. |
Patriots | Drake Maye already has chemistry with A.J. Brown Fri Jul 17, 03:17 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye is looking to build chemistry with WR A.J. Brown during training camp and hints 'there's already some there for me.'
| Footballguys view: Brown didn't join the Patriots until June, so he didn't get much time to work with Maye before the end of the offseason program. So it's nice to learn that there was still enough time for the star wideout to make a positive impression on his new teammate. As PFT's Josh Alper noted, the Patriots were willing to wait to make the trade for Brown because they think he and Maye will take the offense beyond where it was with Stefon Diggs as their top receiver in 2025. Fantasy investors also believe. Brown has risen to WR8 in current ADP. |
A.J. Brown player page
Steelers | Michael Pittman Jr. a steady option Fri Jul 17, 01:02 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Michael Pittman Jr. is one of ten receivers to record at least 60 receptions in each of the past five seasons, and his 357 receptions over the last four seasons rank sixth in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers' wideouts were among the league's least productive units in 2025, combining for 136 receptions (ranking 31st), 1,716 receiving yards (29th), and 76 first downs (30th). Some added firepower could help. A six-year veteran, Pittman, who has 357 receptions over the past four seasons, is a significant WR2 upgrade from a season ago. The Steelers' last wide receiver with 60 receptions in a season was George Pickens in 2023. Pittman, who has finished no worse than a fantasy WR3 in his five NFL seasons, is being drafted as WR41. |
Cowboys | George Pickens produced big plays Fri Jul 17, 01:01 AM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens tied the franchise's single season record with five games of 125-plus receiving yards in 2025, and his 10.4 yards per target ranked second in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: While CeeDee Lamb attracts a lot of attention from defenses, Pickens broke out in 2025 with 93 catches, 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. His 10.4 yards per target ranked second in the NFL, and his 2.27 yards after first contact per possession topped all receivers with 100 or more targets. For his career, Pickens averages 16.0 yards per catch. He's currently being drafted as WR10, four spots behind Lamb. |
