Cardinals | Michael Wilson has two catches Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught both of his targets for 23 yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: The glass half empty take here is that Wilson gave way to Jalen Brooks for four snaps with the ones. The glass half full take is that Wilson still led the offense in catches and yards in that very small sample. With the Cardinals offense looking more game under Mike LaFleur, Wilson is becoming a more attractive pick around his 8th round ADP, especially in PPR leagues. |

Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr. snags TD Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught a seven-yard touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Harrison led the wide receiver group in snaps, but ran the same number of routes as Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne. He was able to separate on a crossing route in the red zone and Jacoby Brissett stood in to deliver a laser into a crowd for the score. That should build Harrison's confidence. It will be difficult for Harrison to have a true breakout season in this crowded offense, but as long as Brissett starts, it could be productive enough for Harrison to deliver his ADP value - which is in the sixth round of most drafts. |
Packers | One grab for Jayden Reed Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed caught one of his two targets for 19 yards in the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Reed's role did not grow to include two wide receiver sets in the offense's first action since Romeo Doubs left to sign in New England. That was Matthew Golden's spot. But Reed still ran as many routes as Golden and Christian Watson and got the most targets and catches. |

Dolphins | Caleb Douglas listed as starter Thu Aug 13, 07:04 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas is listed as one of the starting wide receivers on the team's first unofficial depth chart because he has been consistent during training camp, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: Late in July, Cameron Wolfe from NFL Network suggested that Douglas might be a starter this year. It's a great sign that he's listed as one of the starters on the initial depth chart. We'll likely see the Dolphins go run-heavy on offense with Malik Willis at quarterback. However, if Douglas can be a favorite target - and maybe even a security blanket for Willis - there could be more fantasy value there than some think. |
Giants | Jalin Hyatt to miss preseason game Thu Aug 13, 06:58 PM

Panthers | Jalen Coker standing out Thu Aug 13, 06:21 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker has been open regularly during training camp and has been catching passes consistently during practices, according to ESPN.com's Mike Kaye.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs know that Coker can ball. His current ADP (WR55, 14.02) seems low for what his potential and upside could be in the Panthers offense. We love taking him late in drafts and stashing for at least some flex-worthy matchups. |
Raiders | Malik Benson may have offensive role Thu Aug 13, 05:56 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Malik Benson has been a standout performer during training camp and may be earning a meaningful role in the passing game, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden.
| Footballguys view: Benson has been getting first-team reps in camp, and he's impressed. We'll see how things shake out on the Raiders' depth chart at the wide receiver position. At this time, Tre Tucker (WR58) and Jalen Nailor (WR59) are the highest-drafted Raiders receivers in recent mock drafts. A big preseason for Benson could change that. |

Rams | Puka Nacua expected back soon Thu Aug 13, 04:04 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) will likely return to practice next week, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Rams and Fantasy GMs here. Nacua will have plenty of time to ramp up before the start of the regular season (barring any setbacks). He's a top-5 pick for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson leaves practice Thu Aug 13, 01:27 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson left practice with an apparent leg injury and did not return on Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Reports are indicating this is a hamstring injury, but it's said to be not serious. That sounds great, but we're also dealing with a rookie receiver that has been limited by a hamstring injury since the NFL Scouting Combine. Tyson has incredible upside in the pros, but his rookie season may not get off to a hot start if he can't shake this hamstring issue. |
Chiefs | Rashee Rice not expected to be suspended for violating probation Thu Aug 13, 10:39 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is not expected to be suspended for violating his probation, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: This gives Chiefs fans and Fantasy GMs some clarity. Rice violated his probation and spent 30 days in jail because of it. He's not getting suspended, but he is coming back from offseason knee surgery. Camp reports about Rice have been "meh" (at best), and he's been somewhat limited on certain days. Rice has a current ADP of WR13 (3.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) could start participating in team drills as soon as next week, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Nabers is making his way back from the knee injury that shortened his 2025 season after just four games. Barring any sort of setback, Nabers should be able to start against the Cowboys in Week 1 of the regular season. His injury status is baked into his ADP, and currently Nabers is going off the board at WR15 (3.10) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Jets | Omar Cooper having some missteps Wed Aug 12, 03:25 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has shown some inconsistencies during training camp, but wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said that is normal for a rookie.
| Footballguys view: The team moved up in the 2026 NFL Draft to select Cooper at no.30 overall. He's an outside or slot target who can win with run-after-the-catch ability (think young Deebo Samuel here). The Indiana wideout should be the team's no.3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. |
Jets | Isaiah Williams pushing for bigger role Wed Aug 12, 03:24 PM
New York Jets WR Isaiah Williams has been one of the standout performers during training camp and is pushing for the No. 3 receiver job, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.

Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka injury update Wed Aug 12, 03:04 PM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (toe) suffered a toe injury during practice Wednesday, Aug. 12, but the injury is not believed to be serious, according to source.
| Footballguys view: We're not going to be alarmists here, but toe injuries can be turf toe injuries...and those can linger. If sources say the injury is not considered serious, then all we can do is monitor Egbuka for the rest of training camp and the preseason. If healthy and ready for Week 1 (and this report makes it sound like he should be), Egbuka is a WR2/flex with upside for Fantasy GMs on a weekly basis. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (undisclosed) limped off the field to be examined by trainers Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on this situation. Egbuka limped off with the help of trainers, and then watched from the sidelines. The Bucs are going to be wisely cautious with Egbuka. When we know more about the injury, we'll have more of an idea as to what kind of timeline could be needed in recovery. |
49ers | Demarcus Robinson pushing for roster spot Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Demarcus Robinson enjoyed 'another big day' at camp on Tuesday, Aug. 11, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner, who writes that the veteran continues to show he could function as a 'valuable backup at multiple spots' for the team in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Robinson can come through for his team, just like he did in the Wild Card win over the Eagles where he snared six passes for 111 yards and one touchdown. With the addition of Deebo Samuel, Robinson has moved down the depth chart and is competing for around the no.5 spot. |

Eagles | Elijah Moore continues strong camp Wed Aug 12, 01:12 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Elijah Moore has been one of the 'primary players' to take advantage of the continued absence of WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Makai Lemon (hamstring), according to ESPN's Tim McManus.
| Footballguys view: Let's keep an eye on Moore in the preseason. He's a veteran player who can make plays in practice, but he's essentially the no.5 receiver for the Eagles on their depth chart. It's good he's making plays, and with Smith/Lemon banged up guys like Moore will get more looks in the preseason. |

Link to story Rams | Puka Nacua leaves practice early Tue Aug 11, 04:16 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (undisclosed) left practice early with the trainer, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 11. HC Sean McVay said he 'isn't sure what the deal is just yet.'
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, the injury issue comes amid a rough day for Nacua investors. Not only might he be injured, but Adam Schefter also floated the possibility that the NFL could suspend Nacua for his offseason actions. There have been claims that Nacua was allegedly involved in a "biting" incident at a bar on New Year's Eve. The case is still open. Schefter states that a suspension is "within the range of outcomes." Schefter's tidbit and a lack of information on the injury are both concerns. We'll watch for more. |

49ers | Mike Evans back at practice Tue Aug 11, 03:37 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quad) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Evans is the 49ers' prized free-agent acquisition. The longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver is entering his 13th NFL season but continues to perform at a high level. He is expected to provide quarterback Brock Purdy with the best boundary target and red-zone weapon of his career -- as long as he's on the field. We'll be monitoring Evans' health all month. Remember, his WR27 ADP and fifth-round price don't reflect Evans' historic production. |

Colts | Josh Downs returns to practice Tue Aug 11, 01:26 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, Indianapolis isn't entering this season with enough proven depth to comfortably absorb long-term injuries at wide receiver, where Alec Pierce has yet to return to full practice. That makes Downs' return from a groin injury even more significant. He missed practices over the weekend, but head coach Shane Steichen previously indicated the injury was not serious, and getting him back on the field Tuesday is an encouraging development. Downs is being drafted as WR43, a price that doesn't fully take his WR2 role into account. |
Josh Downs player page
Packers | Matthew Golden back at practice Tue Aug 11, 01:21 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (toe) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: While there were big expectations for Golden in his rookie year, he didn't get as many targets as expected. In 2025, Golden had 29 receptions for 361 yards. As Packers Talk suggested, this year there is more hope for Golden. The former first-round pick has already entrenched himself as one of the three starting WRs. He worked with the first team upon return Tuesday. Most likely, Golden will start as one of the Packers' outside receivers. He's being drafted as WR48. There's room for upside there. |
Ravens | Zay Flowers back at practice Tue Aug 11, 11:31 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (quadriceps) returned to practice Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Jesse Minter did not sound too concerned about Flowers after Monday's practice, so it is not too surprising to hear that he's back in the mix. Flowers, who finished as WR7 last year, is being drafted as WR15. |

Eagles | Hamstring continues to sideline DeVonta Smith Tue Aug 11, 01:34 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missed practice on Monday, Aug. 10. It was the fifth practice in a row that Smith has missed due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Fellow wideouts Makai Lemon and Britain Covey have also been absent due to hamstring injuries, leaving Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown as the team's top healthy wideouts. Elijah Moore and Darius Cooper should also see more first-team snaps as a result. We'll continue monitoring, but as CBSSports.com notes, Smith's hamstring injury is seemingly minor, and the lengthy absence is a precaution. |
DeVonta Smith player page
Eagles | Makai Lemon misses fifth straight Tue Aug 11, 01:28 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) did not practice on Monday, Aug. 10, marking the fifth consecutive practice he's missed due a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: The team is not expressing any long-term concern, but these are meaningful reps -- especially for a rookie. Lemon missed minicamp as well with a hamstring injury. He has served primarily as the starting slot receiver when healthy, but hasn't produced many splash moments to date. It's important that Jalen Hurts gets as many snaps as possible with his skill players as the offense breaks in a new system in the post A.J. Brown era. We'll continue to monitor. |
