49ers | Marquez Valdes-Scantling could play Week 1 Sun Aug 31, 06:42 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling explains why he chose the Niners and a practice squad spot over going to the Pittsburgh Steelers to reunite with QB Aaron Rodgers. 'I had to weigh my options and see which one I wanted to do, which was going to be better for my career at this point, and I was excited about it,' Valdes-Scantling said. He added that the playbook familiarity is similar with 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak and Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, his previous stop.

Giants | Beaux Collins could grow into role Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
New York Giants WR Beaux Collins had a 'spectacular' showing in offseason workouts and training camp, according to Bucky Brooks of NFL.com, and Brooks believes Collins could develop into a No. 3 receiver
| Footballguys view: 2023 third round pick Jalin Hyatt had a poor summer, so Collins could be active on game days and even get a few snaps against Washington in the season opener. He reeled in a deep ball from Russell Wilson for an 80-yard gain in one of the highlights of the preseason. |
Panthers | Jalen Coker injury update Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks because of his quadriceps injury, according to a source. He was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Aug. 30.
| Footballguys view: Coker will be on our waiver wire watch list when he returns, but this injury is concerning long term because it is the same injury that sidelined him for three games last year. Coker's conditioning was an issue with Dave Canales during the offseason, but the head coach praised him for his progress, which makes this injury even more disappointing. Coker was poised to start in the slot after Adam Thielen was dealt to Minnesota, but that spot will go to Hunter Renfrow now. |
Vikings | Feeling good about Jalen Nailor for opener Sun Aug 31, 02:52 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor (hand) is trending upward for the Week 1 game against the Chicago Bears, as the team is optimistic he'll be ready to play after missing time due to a hand injury. Per sources, barring any setbacks, Nailor should be ready to play.
| Footballguys view: Nailor's role won't be as large as it would have been before the team acquired Adam Thielen, but he'll still be the complementary receiver more likely to get deep targets that can turn into big plays. Nailor isn't on our redraft radar, but his presence could help JJ McCarthy. |
Chiefs | Hollywood Brown able to practice Sun Aug 31, 02:11 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown (ankle) was able to practice Sunday, Aug. 31, and head coach Andy Reid said the veteran receiver 'should be fine' for the regular-season opener. Brown missed time in training camp and the preseason due to an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Brown is worth drafting in typical leagues to see if he gets off to a hot start with Rashee Rice suspended and fourth round rookie Jalen Royals likely out for at least Week 1 with a knee issue. The Chiefs also have veterans JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton, so it's possible that he is eased back into the lineup in the season opener in Brazil vs. the Chargers. |

Lions | DET interested in extending Jameson Williams Sun Aug 31, 12:21 PM
The Detroit Lions have started discussions with WR Jameson Williams regarding a potential contract extension, according to general manager Brad Holmes.
| Footballguys view: This tends to corroborate reports that Williams role was being expanded in camp. It's possible that he and Amon-Ra St. Brown (who had a strong camp himself according to all reports) are more of a 1A/1B this year, which doesn't necessarily mean that St. Brown is overvalued. The Lions also have huge athletic third round pick Isaac TeSlaa, who dazzled in the preseason, as their newly minted #3 receiver. |
Browns | Isaiah Bond still subject to NFL discipline Sun Aug 31, 11:43 AM
The National Football League is still reviewing the sexual assault case of Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond, even though there are no longer pending charges, according to league spokesman Brian McCarthy. He remains subject to NFL discipline, although no decision appears imminent.

Jaguars | Travis Hunter on track for opener Sat Aug 30, 03:11 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter (undisclosed) will be available to play in the Week 1 game, according to general manager James Gladstone.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Jaguars here. Hunter is the Heisman Trophy winner who wants to play on both sides of the ball in the pros just like he did at Colorado. He's a wide receiver who may dabble at cornerback for the Jaguars in 2025. From a fantasy perspective, Hunter is a WR3/flex option with upside as the no.2 receiver for the Jaguars opposite Brian Thomas Jr. |
Panthers | Jalen Coker lands on injured reserve Sat Aug 30, 12:22 PM
The Carolina Panthers placed WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Aug. 30, due to a quadriceps injury.
| Footballguys view: This quad injury is going to keep Coker out of action for at least the first four weeks of the regular season. When Coker returns to the field, he could provide some big plays from the slot for the Panthers. While he's out, Hunter Renfrow was brought back to fill that role. |
Panthers | Carolina re-signing Hunter Renfrow Sat Aug 30, 12:09 PM
The Carolina Panthers will re-sign free-agent WR Hunter Renfrow to their active roster Saturday, Aug. 30, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: Jalen Coker has a quad injury that has put him on IR/Designated to Return. Renfrow was cut just a few days ago as he failed to make the 53-man roster at final cuts. He returns to fill the slot role while Coker is on the mend. In PPR formats, we'll be curious to see if Renfrow can provide some deep flex value. |

Cowboys | Ryan Flournoy joins practice squad Sat Aug 30, 11:50 AM
The Dallas Cowboys brought back free-agent WR Ryan Flournoy (Cowboys) for their practice squad Saturday, Aug. 30, after he had cleared waivers Friday, Aug. 29.
| Footballguys view: A sixth-round pick (Southeast Missouri State) of the Cowboys in 2024, Flournoy impressed on film and in the pre-draft process with an outstanding size/speed/athleticism combination. Flournoy played in 11 games last season as a rookie for the Cowboys, starting one game. His rookie season ended with 10 catches for 102 yards, but Flournoy has the upside to do much more. Now, back with the Cowboys on the practice squad, he can continue to develop his game. Fantasy GMs in deep dynasty formats should be alert to his status. |
Vikings | Adam Thielen restructures Sat Aug 30, 11:34 AM
Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen agreed to terms on a revised contract Saturday, Aug. 30, according to multiple sources. His salary has been reduced by $2 million and $4 million in incentives were also removed from the deal.
| Footballguys view: When acquired by the Vikings just a few days ago, the plan was to work on his contract to make it more team-friendly. He wanted to return to Minnesota, and that is going to cost him millions. Thielen is a fan favorite, and he brings his experience back to the field for the Vikings. Thielen will be the team's no.2 receiver while Jordan Addison is suspended (three games). |

Commanders | Deebo Samuel eyes return to form Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM
Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel dropped weight this offseason and looks 'leaner and faster,' according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Samuel got too big and out of shape with the 49ers, partly to have better protection from the beating he takes on the field. That added weight made the run-after-the-catch specialist look sluggish. Samuel gets a fresh start with the Commanders and has one of the best young quarterbacks throwing him the ball. He's a WR3 for Fantasy GMs with the upside to be more if he stays healthy. |

Patriots | Kayshon Boutte making a leap? Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte had a 'stunning' offseason turnaround, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Boutte seems to be locked in as the Patriots no.3 receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Demario Douglas. There's some 'what the heck' flex appeal in deeper leagues if he takes the work from the summer and translates that to regular season success. |

Titans | Calvin Ridley looking to help rookie QB Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley said he is looking to play well this season so he can help QB Cam Ward during his rookie season. 'It was like, this kid's good and I got to be good. I can't fall behind. I got to be a help. I got to be a big help cause it's time to dominate,' Ridley said.
| Footballguys view: Ward and Ridley have spent time away from the facility working on route concepts, and the rookie QB thinks the veteran receiver is one of the five best in the NFL. That's high praise, and Ridley does provide fantasy value as a low-end WR2 or WR3/flex with upside. |

Dolphins | Malik Washington has earned QB's trust Fri Aug 29, 05:06 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington said he spent the offseason trying to earn the trust of QB Tua Tagovailoa. 'If he invites me somewhere, I'm going to show up because I know that he values that and I also value that as well, so trying to build that connection in the offseason,' Washington said.
| Footballguys view: Washington could soak up some of the Jonnu Smith short targets that set up run after catch opportunities and don't allow defenses to tee off on Tua Tagovailoa. He should be on your PPR waiver wire watch list and could end up being fantasy relevant this year if the Dolphins deal Tyreek Hill during the season. |
Patriots | Mack Hollins to start early on? Fri Aug 29, 05:06 PM
New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins is the 'best option' to start as the outside receiver across from WR Stefon Diggs in the season opener, according to Chad Graff of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Third round pick Kyle Williams is behind Hollins, Kayshon Boutte (who had a good summer in his first camp under Mike Vrabel) and Demario Douglas right now, but the team should mix him in to add his quickness and speed to an offense that sorely needs it. Hollins is the superior blocker and can hold his own against NFL starting outside corners while Williams watches and learns. Williams may end up dropped early on by disappointed fantasy players, but if the Patriots offense improves - especially Drake Maye - Williams could be an impact player in the second half of the season. |

NFL | Two meetings for Kendrick Bourne Fri Aug 29, 05:06 PM
Free-agent WR Kendrick Bourne (Patriots) is scheduled to meet with the San Francisco 49ers Monday, Sept. 1, and the Washington Commanders Tuesday, Sept. 2, according to a source. Bourne has a framework for a deal in place with both teams.
| Footballguys view: Bourne could actually have a fantasy relevant role in San Francisco because of the plethora of wide receiver injuries there, and he spent the first four years of his career with the 49ers, so the familiarity on both sides should make them the favorite to land him. Washington pursuing him is not a great sign for Noah Brown's health or Luke McCaffrey's development. |

Cowboys | Ryan Flournoy off roster Fri Aug 29, 05:06 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy was waived Thursday, Aug. 28.
| Footballguys view: The size/speed small school receiver was a sixth round pick last year, but the Cowboys preferred to use the roster spot on the Eagles 2024 fifth round pick, OL Trevor Keegan. The Cowboys only have four wide receivers on the roster after this move. |

Eagles | Javon Baker expected to join PS Fri Aug 29, 02:34 PM
Free-agent WR Javon Baker (Patriots) plans to join the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Baker has undeniable talent, but was inconsistent and fell out of favor with two different coaching staffs in two years. He was a fourth round pick last year and should still be on our watch list in deep dynasty leagues. The Eagles have one of the softest wide receiver depth charts in the league, so Baker could climb it quickly if he can redeem himself. |
Packers | Savion Williams unable to practice Fri Aug 29, 02:00 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Savion Williams (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 28.
| Footballguys view: Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Jayden Reed (foot) just returned to practice this week so the Packers will be a bit precarious with only Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, and Malik Heath fully healthy for the season opener against the Lions. Tucker Kraft could play a larger role and Luke Musgrave could be on the field a lot in two tight end sets after having a good summer. |

49ers | Jauan Jennings sits out Thursday Fri Aug 29, 01:20 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 28.
| Footballguys view: At this point, it would be a surprise if Jennings gets in a full practice next week, and if that's the case, it would be unwise for the 49ers play him in Week 1. He has been out for over a month since re-injuring the calf and needs some reconditioning before the team considers putting him in game action. Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and Ricky Pearsall should dominate targets in the tough matchup at Seattle in the season opener. |

Chiefs | Jalen Royals expected to miss Week 1 Fri Aug 29, 01:11 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Jalen Royals (knee) is expected to miss Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Andy Reid announced on Friday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Marquise Brown has had a quiet summer after missing most of camp with an ankle injury. but the team will rely on him to play a big role in Week 1. Tyquan Thornton made the final roster after generating some camp buzz and could get some snaps with Royals out and Rashee Rice suspended for the season opener in Brazil against the Chargers. |

Seahawks | Tory Horton on field Thursday Fri Aug 29, 01:10 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (ankle) participated in practice Thursday, Aug. 28. Head coach Mike Macdonald said the team hopes Horton will be a full participant at some point next week.
| Footballguys view: Horton is set to open the season as the #3 receiver if he is healthy enough to play. #4 receiver Jake Bobo is in concussion protocol. It's possible that Dareke Young or Cody White will see snaps at wide receiver in the season opener against the 49ers. |
