Link to storyNew York Giants WR Darius Slayton is not guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Slayton has not looked the same coming back from his hernia surgery this offseason. He's competing with Odell Beckham for what could be the final spot on the 53-man roster at the wide receiver position. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR Samori Toure was waived Saturday, Aug. 29.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills WR Mecole Hardman was released Saturday, Aug. 29, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Hardman signed with the Bills last year in November, but he only caught one pass for four yards and a touchdown in the Divisional Round loss to the Broncos. Signed to a reserve/futures contact earlier this year, Hardman failed to impress in training camp and the preseason. He gets a bit of a head start as rosters are being trimmed across the league, so perhaps some team will want Hardman for veteran depth. A return to the Chiefs for a third stint would not be a surprise. |

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (foot) sustained a bruised foot during the first quarter of the preseason game versus the Minnesota Vikings Friday, Aug. 28, according to head coach Sean Payton. He was taken to the locker room for evaluation and did not return to action.
| Footballguys view: Mims is an explosive playmaker at the wide receiver position, and he's an All-Pro return man for the Broncos. He doesn't get much work on offense, even though Mims seems to make plays anytime the team relies on him. Mims is behind Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and Pat Bryant on the depth chart. He's competing with Troy Franklin to round out the position behind the top three. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette (ankle) will not return to the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers after exiting with an ankle injury Friday, Aug. 28.
| Footballguys view: Signed to a futures contract back in January, Smith-Marsette was always going to be hard-pressed to make this roster. He's buried on the depth chart at the wide receiver position, and the team may just cut ties with the veteran. Smith-Marsette was a fifth-round pick out of Iowa back in 2021, and he's bounced around to six different NFL teams since then. He's mostly been a special teams player in the NFL. |

New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. and WR Isaiah Williams are 'engaged in a battle' for the No. 3 receiver job, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Cooper, a 2026 first-round pick out of Indiana, is known as a slot bully because of his run-after-the-catch ability. He needs to learn how to run the full route tree, but the potential is there for Cooper to be a dangerous playmaker. Williams, undrafted out of Illinois in 2024, is a return man who can flip the field with quickness and speed. Cooper should win the job, but Williams is not letting it go without a fight. Dynasty GMs should be invested in Cooper for the long-term outlook. |
Miami Dolphins RB Coleman Bennett, TE Ethan Conner, RB Donovan Edwards and WR Theo Wease were waived Saturday, Aug. 29.

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. |
Baltimore Ravens WR Elijah Sarratt is expected to make the 53-man roster but may be inactive most weeks since he is not a big factor on special teams, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley.
Link to storyNew York Jets WR Caullin Lacy (undisclosed) was waived from the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Aug. 28, after the two sides reached an injury settlement.
Link to storyWashington Commanders WR Antonio Williams showed good work as a slot receiver during training camp and will likely have a role early in the season, in the opinion of ESPN.com's John Keim.
Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders WR Malik Benson has been a reliable option for both QB Kirk Cousins and QB Fernando Mendoza during training camp and appears to have a good chance to receive playing time during his rookie season, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden.
Link to storyCleveland Browns TE Drew Biber, WR Ben Patterson and TE Jermaine Terry were waived Friday, Aug. 28.
Link to storyJacksonville 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. |
Tennessee Titans WR Wan'Dale Robinson was cleared of a concussion on Friday, Aug. 28.
Link to storyNew 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. |
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.. |
