Commanders | Stefon Diggs joining WAS Wed Aug 5, 02:01 PM

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) agreed to terms with the Washington Commanders Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Diggs is worth a pick around the 10-12th round in PPR leagues, as he should be the #2 target for Jayden Daniels. This is a small blow to free agent signing TE Chig Okonkwo, but he should still get ample opportunity to make a fantasy impact this season.

Chiefs | Rashee Rice progressing Wed Aug 5, 11:52 AM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) participated in 11-on-11 drills for the first time in training camp Wednesday, Aug. 5.

Footballguys view: Rice is being eased back in after having minor knee surgery on the eve of a 30-day jail sentence for a probation violation. As long as he doesn't have any setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 1. Rice is a risk/reward pick at current ADP. He has typically produced like a first or second round pick in PPR leagues, but he hasn't played close to a full season in either of the last two years.

Texans | Tank Dell practicing Wed Aug 5, 10:24 AM

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Aug. 5.

Footballguys view: This was the next step in his recovery from a catastrophic leg injury back in 2024. It's not clear how effective Dell will be, or how big his role will be, but his quality of play in the past merits a late round pick in typical fantasy leagues, and his return should help CJ Stroud, and really the whole Texans offense.

Jets | Geno Smith pushing ball downfield Wed Aug 5, 10:21 AM

New York Jets QB Geno Smith has been testing all three levels of the defense and really wants to push the ball downfield.

Footballguys view: The Jets have skill position players who can attack all levels of the defense, so it makes sense Smith would be distributing the rock all over the field. With WR Garrett Wilson as the primary target, we should see Smith target him early and often. He's also got guys like WR Adonai Mitchell, rookie WR Omar Cooper, and rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq (plus RB Breece Hall out of the backfield). The Jets don't have their future franchise QB, and Smith is just a QB3 for Fantasy GMs in 2026. Let some of these young players develop and draft a franchise quarterback, and the Jets will be competitive in the future.

NFL | Zach Ertz wants to play in 2026 Wed Aug 5, 10:21 AM

Free agent TE Zach Ertz officially has been cleared for all football activities and wants to play this season, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

Footballguys view: Ertz tore his ACL last year in Week 14 playing for the Commanders. The 35-year old tight end may not be the player he used to be, but he did post 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns last year. Now that he's been medically cleared, Ertz should have interest from a few teams in need of veteran depth at the position.

Colts | Daniel Jones looking fully recovered Wed Aug 5, 01:48 AM

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) hasn't missed any days of practice thus far and has taken every snap with the first-team offense, per ESPN's Stephen Holder, who adds that Jones has 'put to rest' any uncertainties that may have existed coming into camp regarding his availability after tearing his Achilles last December.

Footballguys view: Great news for the Colts here. If Jones can stay healthy, the Colts are contenders for the AFC South title and could make a deeper-than-some-think postseason run. He's trending to start in Week 1, and Jones is a QB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs. Jones currently is going off the board at QB19 (14.09) in 12-team PPR leagues.

Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane shining in camp Wed Aug 5, 01:24 AM

Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane has been the 'star' of training camp, in the opinion of ESPN's Jamison Hensley, who writes that Lane has become the team's No. 3 receiver behind WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Footballguys view: Lane, a third-round pick out of USC, has the ability to win above the rim. He's a big target who uses a basketball-like skill set to go get the ball. He's been a 'drumbeat' player this offseason with many news items highlighting how the rookie has been catching the eye of QB Lamar Jackson. Lane isn't getting drafted right now in 12-team PPR leagues, but you could take him as a late-round flier in deeper leagues (and we certainly appreciate his skill set in dynasty formats).

49ers | De'Zhaun Stribling continuing to impress Wed Aug 5, 12:59 AM

San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling is having a 'strong start' to training camp, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner, who writes that the rookie 'offers a size and speed element the Niners have lacked.' Stribling is lining up in multiple spots, and Wagoner suggests that he could operate as a 'supercharged, oversize slot receiver.'

Footballguys view: Stribling has a game that features speed, tenacious blocking, and run-after-the-catch ability. It's no surprise the rookie has been standing out with the 49ers, but he has had a hamstring injury that has kept him out of practice for a few days. He needs to get healthy (a recent problem for 49ers wideouts) and continue to impress in training camp and the preseason. Stribling has a current ADP of WR69 (15.01) in 12-team PPR leagues.

49ers | Deebo Samuel to fill complementary role? Wed Aug 5, 12:41 AM

San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel is unlikely to be a 'focal point of the offensive unit like he once was,' in the opinion of ESPN's Nick Wagoner, who writes that the team is expected to 'lean on [Samuel's] versatility and hope that his threat can open things up for their other playmakers.'

Footballguys view: He's not the player he used to be, and Fantasy GMs are not expecting him to be. However, there are some expectations for a veteran player on a team with questionable wide receivers. Samuel has a current ADP of WR55 (13.06) in 12-team PPR leagues.

49ers | Ricky Pearsall facing lengthy recovery Wed Aug 5, 12:25 AM

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) will be out of action for around nine months after he undergoes surgery, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner.

Footballguys view: That means he should be fully recovered well ahead of training camp in 2027. Pearsall was dealing with the same PCL that he worked through last year, and there was a thought he wouldn't need surgery. Instead, he does need surgery and now will be on the road to recovery (again) post-surgery. Dynasty GMs might want to throw out some low-ball offers just to see. Pearsall is a lottery-ticket type of player who could pay some dividends in 2027 and beyond...if he can stay healthy.
