49ers | Four grabs for De'Zhaun Stribling Fri Aug 21, 04:45 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling caught four of his five targets for 46 yards during the preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Stribling is getting into some rare territory catching so many passes in such a short time on the field. Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas (RIP), and Jeremy Maclin are the other players to catch 10 or more passes in 20 minutes of game time in two preseason games to date. Stribling won't have this large of a role to begin the season, but he is showing the ability to change fantasy leagues this year if injuries put him in a central role. His ADP is going up into the single digit rounds, and it should be. |
Vikings | Justin Jefferson gaining comfort level Fri Aug 21, 04:45 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson said he is building better chemistry with QB Kyler Murray now that Murray has been named the starter and is no longer splitting reps. 'So now he has it and the connection is definitely growing,' Jefferson said. 'Work needs to be done, but it comes with time and comes with just coming out here and just working together.'
| Footballguys view: 'Work needs to be done' is balancing 'the connection is definitely growing' in this statement. Of course, if you have Jefferson, you're playing him Week 1 vs. Green Bay, but it sounds like we should temper expectations early on, if we hadn't already given Murray's history re: creating fantasy value for wide receivers. |

Giants | Malik Nabers sits out Thursday Thu Aug 20, 06:08 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Nabers avoided the PUP list to begin training camp, but he's not yet up to full speed according to HC John Harbaugh. So long as there are no setbacks, Nabers should be ready for Week 1. His current ADP is WR14 (3.09) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 20, because of an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: Bills HC Joe Brady did not elaborate on the injury. It could be something minor, but this is something to keep an eye on throughout the rest of the preseason. Shakir is going off the board around WR52 (13.07) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Link to story Eagles | Makai Lemon returns Thu Aug 20, 10:31 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: It's good to see the first-round pick out there for the Eagles. He's missed most of the offseason and training camp with this hamstring problem. Earlier reports suggested the team would be committed to getting Lemon the ball in a number of ways. Lemon has a current ADP of WR57 (10.08) in 12-team PPR leagues. We'll see if he can stay healthy and get ramped up before Week 1. |
Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan returns to practice Wed Aug 19, 06:33 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (leg) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 18, but HC Todd Bowles did say McMillan won't play in Saturday's preseason game with the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: McMillan has some extra injury upside now that Emeka Egbuka has been diagnosed with a toe sprain. Hopefully McMillan can stay on the field and Egbuka will be full go for Week 1. McMillan's ADP is down in the 150s, which seems cheap for a third year receiver who is in a productive offense and has already shown that he can hang on Sundays. |

49ers | Mike Evans comes out of practice on Tuesday Wed Aug 19, 06:33 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (left quad tightness) came out of practice on Tuesday. He was icing his quad and watched the remainder practice, according to HC Kyle Shanahan on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Shanahan called it tightness and didn't indicate concern or any worry of a serious injury. This could have been precautionary, but Evans hasn't been durable in recent seasons and it's already his second injury issue of the summer. You can get Evans in the mid-late fifth round, so the possible reward that comes with being the #1 target in San Francisco balanced out that known and apparent injury risk. |

Texans | Torn ACL for Jayden Higgins Wed Aug 19, 01:04 PM
Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during a joint practice Tuesday, Aug. 18, and will miss the 2026 season, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Higgins was poised to take a big step forward this year, so this is a bummer for the Texans offense and CJ Stroud. Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel - who just returned from a hamstring injury and also missed time with a finger injury this summer - will pick up some of the slack, but the team could also just lean into the multi-tight end set trend that will help David Montgomery and the running game. Tank Dell was in street clothes at practice recently and the team said he is on his own plan regarding a timetable to return. |
Giants | Malik Nabers on track for Week 1 Wed Aug 19, 12:34 AM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) took part in full-speed team drills on both Monday, Aug. 17, and Tuesday, Aug. 18, in a red, non-contact practice jersey. He could transition to full contact as early as next week, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, who writes that the 'expectation' is for Nabers to play in Week 1, barring a setback.
| Footballguys view: The important thing to note here is that despite the excitement about Nabers not starting camp on the PUP list, he still hasn't been cleared for contact. His demonstrated upside is still worth the third round pick it will cost to draft Nabers, but there are still a few more steps left in his recovery before we can say the offseason worry about his condition was unfounded. |

Jaguars | Parker Washington expected back next week Tue Aug 18, 03:04 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington (undisclosed injury) is expected to return to practice next week.
| Footballguys view: The issue will certainly keep Washington from playing in Friday's preseason contest against the Panthers. It remains to be seen if Washington will see any action in the Jaguars' Aug. 28 exhibition finale, but, as CBSSports.com suggests, it doesn't appear at this time that his Week 1 status is in question. Entering his fourth season, Washington appeared in 16 games with seven starts last year, catching 58 passes for 847 yards with five touchdowns. Washington is being drafted as WR31 in Round 6. He has upside at that price. |

Chiefs | Tyquan Thornton exits Tue Aug 18, 10:54 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton (undisclosed) left practice Tuesday, Aug. 18, on the front of the cart.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Thornton has been firmly in the mix for a top-three spot on the Chiefs' receiver depth chart throughout the offseason. If Thornton is to miss time, rookie Cyrus Allen would have an increased opportunity to make an impression on the coaching staff. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Bills | Keon Coleman in a boot Tue Aug 18, 10:44 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman (foot) is in a walking boot Tuesday, Aug. 18, after suffering a lower-body injury over the weekend.
| Footballguys view: Coleman played in the Bills' preseason opener, catching three passes on four targets for 17 yards. While he got banged up during the game, head coach Joe Brady said that he expected the receiver to be fine. Several receivers aren't practicing on Tuesday, with Khalil Shakir also sidelined. But DJ Moore is participating in the session. We'll monitor Coleman and Shakir and report back as needed. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson likely to miss extended time Tue Aug 18, 12:26 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for around two months because of a hamstring injury. He could be a candidate for the short-term Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: The Saints will be able to designate him as eligible to return if they wait to put him on the reserve list until the cut to 53 players later this month. If he does go on injured reserve, he will have to miss at least four games before returning to action. As Profootballtalk.com suggests, it's a big blow to a Saints offense that was hoping to pair Tyson with Chris Olave to give quarterback Tyler Shough a pair of dangerous receiving threats in his first full season as a starter. |

Rams | Puka Nacua expected back next week Tue Aug 18, 12:24 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is dealing with soreness but is expected to return to practice next week, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Nacua left Los Angeles' joint practice against the Cowboys last Tuesday after experiencing discomfort. Last Thursday, McVay described the issue as "a little soreness" in Nacua's psoas, a muscle connecting the lower spine to the thigh bone. At the time, McVay said he anticipated Nacua returning the following week. Considering what Nacua means to the Rams' offense, Los Angeles has little reason to push him during the preseason, but we'll see if he returns to work next week. |
