Eagles | Dontayvion Wicks making plays Sun Aug 2, 04:17 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks had 'another quality practice' on Saturday, Aug. 1, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Wicks should get first shot to replace AJ Brown at X receiver. He flashed earlier in his career with the Packers, but inconsistent hands and injuries slowed his development before the Eagles traded for him earlier in the offseason. He should be on our waiver wire watch list, although first round pick Makai Lemon should also have a sizeable role in the passing game and could steal Wicks opportunity if he shows he can hang with NFL corners outside of the slot. |

San Francisco 49ers BR Kaelon Black (undisclosed) did not finish practice Saturday, Aug. 1.
| Footballguys view: Jordan James is out for a few weeks with a broken rib and Isaac Guerendo is on the PUP while he recovers from a torn pec he suffered lifting weights about three months ago. The return of Deebo Samuel helps the backfield depth to an extent, but we could see the 49ers sign a running back if this is an issue that will cause Black to miss practice time. They hosted Khalil Herbert, Raheem Blackshear, and Owen Wright for a workout earlier this week. We will be monitoring this situation closely given the importance of Christian McCaffrey's backup in fantasy leagues. |
Chicago Bears WR Zavion Thomas said he has been leaning on QB Tyson Bagent for advice. 'Every time I have a question before practice or after practice, I go to him,' Thomas said.
| Footballguys view: Thomas was also seen getting chewed out by head coach Ben Johnson during a practice. Johnson is strict, which is part of the reason Luther Burden and Colston Loveland had to work up to their roles at the end of the season. We shouldn't expect a big impact from Thomas early on. In fact, if he does pop before Halloween, that's a great sign for his future and how much he can help add a dimension to this ascendant offense. |
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte would be open to a trade if the right situation presented itself, according to sources.

Link to storyAtlanta Falcons OT Jawaan Taylor (arm, elbow) may be cleared to practice in the next several days or weeks, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Taylor is currently on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier is listed as the starting running back on the team's first unofficial depth chart.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here as the Cardinals signed Allgeier to a two year, $12.25 million deal this offseason. Allgeier was a thorn in the side of Bijan Robinson fantasy teams during Robinson's rookie year after the Falcons took him in the top ten, and he is set to do that again to Jeremiyah Love, although Love is going a full round or more after Robinson - who had a late first round ADP - did in fantasy drafts when he was a rookie. If Love is going to hit this year, it's going to have to be with his passing game and big play contributions, because Allgeier isn't going away, and short yardage running is one of his strengths. |
Minnesota Vikings RB Demond Claiborne (undisclosed) did not participate in team drills during practice Saturday, Aug. 1.

Buffalo Bills RBs James Cook, Ty Johnson and Ray Davis have been noticeably more involved in the passing game during the early part of training camp, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Alaina Getzenberg.
| Footballguys view: We have heard a steady drumbeat about James Cook being more involved as a receiver this year after the team hired Pete Carmichael as offensive coordinator. Carmichael was one of the architects of Alvin Kamara's big seasons as a receiving running back in New Orleans. Cook has proven that he can put up RB1 numbers on the strength of his touchdown upside in 2024, and his rushing title winning productivity as a runner last year. We still haven't seen what he can with more work in the passing game, and Cook was drafted by the Bills in the 2022 second round in part because of his receiving skills. It's reasonable to take him in the second half of the first round, and maybe even ahead of Jonathan Taylor. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) received a few snaps during team drills Sunday, Aug. 2, for the first time since the start of training camp. He is being eased back into practice since he had offseason foot surgery.
| Footballguys view: Bhayshul Tuten has done everything he can to show the Jaguars that he can be a true lead back while Rodriguez has been on the mend from offseason foot surgery. Tuten's ADP should be going up and Rodriguez's down knowing that Rodriguez won't have much of a chance to answer Tuten's performance this summer. The good news for Rodriguez is that head coach Liam Coen has basically said that he knows what Rodriguez can do from their time together at the University of Kentucky. There's room for both backs to be hits at ADP if the Jaguars running game gets on track this year. |
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) has a chance to participate in the joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals later this month if he does not suffer any setbacks, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: In other words, don't expect to see Kraft do a lot this summer even though he should be ready for the season opener at Minnesota. It will take a bit of a leap of faith to start him in his first game coming off of ACL surgery, so if you're not comfortable with that, pay close attention to your other tight end's Week 1 matchup to manage the early season risk in Kraft's fantasy profile. |

Link to storyNew Orleans Saints DT Bryan Bresee (knee) is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: The Saints have enough depth on the defensive line to absorb this blow, but the 2023 first round pick was expected to play his best football yet going into his fourth season. With a trip to Detroit on tap to open the season, the Saints defense will see just how much they will miss Bresee right away. |

Green Bay Packers CB Kamal Hadden (ankle) has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list and will participate in his first practice session Sunday, Aug. 2.

Link to storyNew England Patriots WR Kyle Williams worked as the top kickoff returner Friday, July 31.
| Footballguys view: There were high hopes for Williams after the Patriots took him in the third round last year. He did make a few big plays with his speed, but the team traded for AJ Brown and signed Romeo Doubs this offseason. Williams could be battling 2025 UDFA Efton Chism III for a roster spot and needs to show growth on offense and value on special teams. |
Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas has been stringing together solid practices during training camp and had his 'best day' thus far on Friday, July 31, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com
| Footballguys view: Douglas was taken in the third round by the Dolphins even though many had him rated as a late third day pick. He is a speedy, long-framed receiver and the team believes he can do more than he was asked to do at Texas Tech. With fellow third round receiver Chris Bell still recovering ACL surgery, Douglas has a chance to seize a starting role in this almost completely unsettled WR depth chart. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel is expected to be a kick returner for the team this season but said he does not expect to have a definite role right away in the offense.
