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.'
Link to storyCarolina 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.

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. |

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. |
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. |

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. |

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

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. |
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. |
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. |

Link to storyGreen 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. |

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 3.
Link to storyCleveland 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. |
Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos C Luke Wattenberg (undisclosed) is expected to be fine after suffering an undisclosed injury during practice Monday, Aug. 3, according to head coach Sean Payton.

Chicago Bears S Coby Bryant (knee) is expected to be sidelined for eight to 10 weeks because of a hyperextended knee, a bone bruise and a fracture in his knee that occurred during practice Monday, Aug. 3, according to sources. He is not expected to undergo surgery.
| Footballguys view: The Bears are already missing top nickel corner Kyler Gordon, who is out with a calf issue that seems to be frustrating the team. First round pick Dillon Thieneman will be starting with a backup next to him against the Panthers - who have had injury problems of their own this summer - in Week 1. |
Detroit Lions DE Derrick Moore (groin) will hopefully miss around seven to 10 days because of a groin injury, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
