Bo Melton News
Wednesday, January 14, 12:15 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver/cornerback Bo Melton (ankle) said that he expects to need just one month to recover from the ankle injury that he suffered in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Barring a setback, Melton should be good to take part in the team's offseason workouts in the spring. The 26-year-old is unsure if he'll work more as a receiver or defensive back going into the 2026 season. Melton was mostly a backup wideout for the Packers this year, catching only four passes for 107 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets, transitioning more to a defensive role. He'll be a restricted free agent this offseason, which means he'll most likely return to Green Bay. We aren't expecting Melton to have any real fantasy football value in the fall.

Efton Chism III News
Sunday, August 23, 9:12 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III keeps making the most of a crowded situation. Chism caught all four of his targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 24-21 preseason win over Philadelphia, moving the chains on a 24-yard catch on third down and again after an eight-yard grab. This wasn't a one-night flash, either. Chism has been working as the backup slot receiver with Tommy DeVito and the second-team offense, and Mike Vrabel praised his blocking, competitiveness and ability to show up when needed earlier this month. He made the roster as an undrafted rookie last year, though the regular-season opportunities were scarce. Chism caught three passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in eight games. The path is still ugly for redraft purposes with A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams all in the room. Chism isn't suddenly a standard-league target because of four preseason catches. He is making it harder for New England to ignore him, though, and Saturday gave deeper-league managers another reason to keep his name tucked away.
