Chargers | Tre Harris 'right there with top guys' Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris was mentioned as 'right there with Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston as our top guys', according to HC Jim Harbaugh on Saturday, Aug. 8.
| Footballguys view: It's clear who the top three wide receivers will be for the Chargers, but the proportion of their roles compared to one another in the new Mike McDaniel offense is uncertain, and subject to change based on how everyone performs once the regular season is underway. Harris is going in the late rounds of drafts, well after Johnston or McConkey even though Harbaugh is including him with them in his assessment. We should have Harris on our late round target list. |

Rams | Stetson Bennett's status for preseason opener uncertain Sun Aug 9, 10:05 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Stetson Bennett could see playing time in the team's preseason opener versus the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday, Aug. 15, although head coach QB Sean McVay hasn't made a final decision yet.
| Footballguys view: This is a sign that Bennett is ahead of first round pick Ty Simpson to back up Matthew Stafford. File this away in superflex leagues in case Stafford's back acts up during the season. Hopefully we won't see either quarterback play this season except in garbage time or in a meaningless Week 18 game. |

Bears | Leg injury for Luther Burden Sat Aug 8, 03:06 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (leg) left practice early Saturday, Aug. 8, after suffering an apparent leg injury.
| Footballguys view: Burden got tangled up with CB Tyrique Stevenson, who finished practice, but was reportedly fighting through some pain. Burden got to the weight room on his own power, but was reportedly walking "gingerly". We will hold our collective breath while we wait for an update. Kalif Raymond is experienced in Ben Johnson's offense from their time together in Detroit, and he would be the next man up while Burden is on the mend. |

Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman said he has been lining up at multiple positions during practices, and believes he can be more than a one-dimensional player in offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's system.
| Footballguys view: Bateman was a dud last year as the #2 receiver, but this sounds like a plan that could create conditions for a bounceback season. Bateman still isn't worth drafting in typical redraft leagues, but this should put him on our early season waiver wire watch list. |

Link to story Eagles | No practice for Makai Lemon Sat Aug 8, 02:01 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 8.
| Footballguys view: Lemon missed some time with a hamstring issue in OTAs but was reportedly 100% at the beginning of training camp. Since he's a rookie, missing this much time is a bad sign for his ability to be fantasy relevant, at least early in the season. Lemon's ADP should be dropping in redraft leagues, and Dontayvion Wicks should be on our early season waiver wire watch list as the likely #2 receiver to begin the season. |
Eagles | DeVonta Smith remains sidelined Sat Aug 8, 01:46 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not participate in practice Saturday, Aug. 8.
| Footballguys view: Another day passes with no change to Smith's status. Hopefully he will return to practice soon and get a few sessions in without incident so we can feel safe drafting him at an elevated ADP that assumes he will be a high volume #1 receiver with AJ Brown traded to New England. If Smith's hamstring issues persist into the season, it will be a problem for the whole offense, not just Smith's fantasy stock. |

Colts | Josh Downs sitting out Sat Aug 8, 01:27 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (groin) is not participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 8.
| Footballguys view: With Alec Pierce still lacking a timeline on when he can play again after having offseason ankle surgery, the Colts wide receiver group is in dire shape right now. The team has been linked to Keenan Allen multiple times. This could be the development that pushes them over the edge to sign the veteran, who has experience with head coach Shane Steichen when both were with the Chargers. |
