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. |

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. |
49ers | Brandon Aiyuk remains in limbo Wed Aug 5, 12:05 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk has yet to apply to the NFL for reinstatement or inform the team that he plans to report for training camp. As such, Aiyuk remains on the reserve/left squad list, which means he does not count on the team's roster or salary cap.
| Footballguys view: What's there to say about a player in limbo? Aiyuk has suggested he would play for the Commanders if possible, but he's still under contract with the 49ers. Aiyuk hasn't played in some time (2024), and that year he posted a 25-374-0 line in seven games before suffering a torn ACL in Week 7. |

Link to story Eagles | Makai Lemon sitting Tuesday Tue Aug 4, 10:35 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) is out of practice Tuesday, Aug. 4.
| Footballguys view: Early reports suggest the injury isn't serious. NBCSports' Reuben Frank notes the Eagles are generally conservative with these sorts of soft-tissue injuries. For a rookie, missing training camp installation days can be a significant setback, and the sooner Lemon, who was watching Tuesday's session from the sideline, gets back, the easier it will be for him to acclimate to this offense. |
Eagles | DeVonta Smith idle Tuesday Tue Aug 4, 09:29 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out of practice Tuesday, Aug. 4.
| Footballguys view: According to local reports, the Eagles don't believe the injury is serious. There's no timetable for Smith's return, however. NBCSports' Reuben Frank notes the Eagles are generally conservative with these sorts of soft-tissue injuries. With Smith and rookie Makai Lemon (hamstring) both watching from the sidelines, the Eagles had offseason acquisitions Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore, and Dontayvion Wicks at WR at practice Tuesday, along with incumbents Darius Cooper, Johnny Wilson, Danny Gray, and Quez Watkins. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Panthers | Xavier Legette in camp battle with David Moore Tue Aug 4, 01:55 AM
Carolina 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.
| Footballguys view: Legette, a first-round pick in 2024, entered camp with heat on him after a subpar start to his pro career. The Panthers view Legette at his best when playing fast, and Fowler reports they don't want to overload his plate as a result. If Legette slips, Moore -- who should have a role regardless -- can step into a larger one. Neither Legette nor Moore is currently on redraft radars, but a solid No. 3 role for either would put them on the waiver-wire watchlist when the season opens. |

Giants | Four veteran wideouts battling for one spot? Tue Aug 4, 01:35 AM
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. |

Raiders | Jack Bech scuffling in pursuit of No. 3 receiver role Tue Aug 4, 01:16 AM
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. |
Bengals | Andrei Iosivas tightening his grip on No. 3 receiver spot Tue Aug 4, 12:58 AM
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. |

Patriots | Kayshon Boutte standing out in camp Tue Aug 4, 12:37 AM
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. |

Jaguars | Parker Washington the go-to guy? Mon Aug 3, 05:55 PM
Jacksonville 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. |

Jaguars | Travis Hunter refining skills Mon Aug 3, 05:55 PM
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. |

Packers | Jayden Reed the No. 2 receiver? Mon Aug 3, 04:42 PM
Green 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. |
