Ainias Smith Healthy and Fighting for Roster Spot

Tuesday, August 19, 9:35 AM

Second-year Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Ainias Smith has enjoyed a healthy training camp, and his coaches have taken notice. Last season, as a fifth-round rookie, he struggled through camp with a stress fracture in his shin that would eventually land him on Injured Reserve for two months. This year, he is healthy and competing for one of the Eagles' last receiver spots on the 53-man roster. He has played in each of the team's first two preseason games, catching a touchdown in both and returning punts and kicks, as his path to the roster may run through special teams. Smith has been competing with fellow second-year wideout Johnny Wilson and undrafted rookie Darius Cooper for one of the team's final roster spots, and on Sunday, the Eagles acquired former second-round pick John Metchie III from the Houston Texans. Whoever can win the camp battle will have little relevance in managed redraft leagues, but could be worth a stash in deep dynasty formats.

Ke'Shawn Williams Leads Pittsburgh In Receiving

Sunday, August 10, 1:40 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ke'Shawn Williams secured both of his targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in a 31-25 preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The undrafted rookie made a statement on Saturday night as a go-to downfield weapon for quarterback Skylar Thompson. He managed to come down with a heavily contested 26-yard deep ball in the endzone that gave the Steelers a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter. Williams is far from a guarantee to make the 53-man roster, but there aren't many proven options ahead of him in Pittsburgh's wide receiver corps. He'll look to further establish himself throughout the preseason, with his next opportunity coming against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
