Bills | Skyler Bell active against Pittsburgh Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell caught seven of his 10 targets for 49 yards and added a 28-yard rushing touchdown during the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Bell was hurt for most of camp, but he showed out in this game to give the Bills an idea of what he could contribute. Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir are banged up right now, so Bell should be on our waiver wire watch list because he plays with Josh Allen. |

Jaguars | Travis Hunter getting exclusive work at cornerback recently Fri Aug 28, 03:12 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter, for the last two weeks, has taken snaps 'almost exclusively at cornerback' during practice, according to Sports Illustrated's John Shipley.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is a late round pick at best right now, but he has the talent to be a very good fantasy wide receiver if injuries or a change of plans gives him the opportunity on offense. If he is listed at corner, he is still a good IDP pick this season. |
Titans | Wan'Dale Robinson cleared of concussion Fri Aug 28, 02:08 PM

Giants | Malachi Fields like the WR2 Fri Aug 28, 11:28 AM
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields is likely to be the team's No. 2 receiver. The team traded up to get him in the third round because they were infatuated with his size, physicality and ability to make contested catches. He has shown all of that in camp.
| Footballguys view: Fields is at least on our waiver wire watch lists, if not a deep league late round pick. He wins when the ball is in the air and could be a top red zone target for Jaxson Dart. Fields is still going to be in the shadow of Malik Nabers and maybe Isaiah Likely, so he's not a priority late round target. |
Titans | Carnell Tate impresses Fri Aug 28, 11:25 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate has impressed with his large catch radius and consistent hands-catching ability. The Titans have started to move Tate across the formation rather than always having him on the ball.
| Footballguys view: Tate is probably going to have some highlight reel plays that make a splash in the box score, but the Titans offense is going to be inconsistent to open the season considering its offensive line woes and new system, along with Cam Ward's preseason struggles. Tate is going in the 6th/7th round close to similar weekly boom/bust propositions like Brian Thomas Jr. and Marvin Harrison Jr.. |

| Footballguys view: Bad news for the Giants here. Austin had been an impressive player this offseason, and many were speculating he would play a sizable role in the Giants' offense as the slot receiver. Now, the Giants could turn to Malachai Fields as an option behind Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Darnell Mooney. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf restructures Thu Aug 27, 10:35 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf restructured his contract Thursday, Aug. 27, converting base salary into a signing bonus and creating nearly $18 million in 2026 salary cap space.
| Footballguys view: Signed through the 2029 season, this moves frees up cap space and gives the Steelers more flexibility in the future. Metcalf has missed time in training camp dealing with an undisclosed injury, but the veteran receiver insists that he'll be ready for Week 1. He's got a current ADP of WR27 (8.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Giants | Bigger role for Darnell Mooney Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
New York Giants WR Darnell Mooney saw an 'increased workload' during practice Wednesday, Aug. 26, following the injury to WR Calvin Austin (knee), according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Mooney signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Giants this offseason ($3 million in dead money, $7 million in incentives). Drops, injuries, and inconsistent play plagued Mooney's game last year with the Falcons. He may never be the 1,000-yard receiver he used to be with the Bears (2021), but Mooney gives the Giants a veteran presence as their no.3 receiver behind Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton. |

Colts | Minor injury for Josh Downs Wed Aug 26, 04:54 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (calf) is dealing with a calf injury but expects to return to practice in the near future.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Downs had to miss some time in camp with a groin issue. Now, it's a minor calf injury that is keeping him out of action. When healthy, we could see Downs and Keenan Allen out there getting most of the work at the wide receiver position for the Colts. Alec Pierce (ankle) has missed this offseason recovering from surgery, but he should be eased into action now that the regular season is almost here. Stay tuned. |

That was a couple of weeks ago, so this undisclosed injury might be something new - or a re-aggravation. When more information is revealed, we'll be able to decipher Flowers' health status for Week 1. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase says 'he's good' following him leaving practice on Tuesday, Aug. 25, following a fall in practice.
| Footballguys view: Chase landed awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and limped off the field without assistance from the medical staff. Chase spoke to trainers, but never left the field. Chase said on 1530 ESPN that he felt he could have returned to practice, but the team "pulled me" out of caution. "A little hyperextension, but other than that I'm fine," Chase said. As ProFootballTalk.com suggested, the Bengals' caution could extend to limiting Chase's practice time in the coming days, but it does not sound like there's much reason to worry about his availability for the start of the regular season. |
