Brandon Aiyuk News
Friday, August 14, 9:25 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's locker stall has been removed from the team's locker room, according to David Lombardi. His stall had remained there even after Aiyuk left the squad late last season, but it is no longer in place. Aiyuk remains under contract with San Francisco and is still on the Reserve/Left Squad list, so nothing has officially changed with his status. The disappearing locker is another sign of a relationship that has been headed toward a split for months. The 49ers voided Aiyuk's guaranteed money for 2026 last year, and general manager John Lynch said in January that it was safe to say the 28-year-old had played his final snap for the team. Aiyuk hasn't appeared in a game since suffering a serious right knee injury in October 2024 and missed all of last season. Until his status is resolved, there remains little reason to expect him back on the field for San Francisco.

Joshua Palmer News
Wednesday, August 12, 6:13 AM
The Buffalo Bills began training camp at St. John Fisher University, but since returning to Orchard Park, wide receiver Joshua Palmer has had some of his most productive practices of the summer, reeling in a pair of deep catches on Tuesday. Palmer's first season in Buffalo was marred by knee and ankle injuries, but after an offseason of rehab, team reporters Alec White and Mike Maynard credit the 26-year-old receiver with turning heads throughout training camp, featuring regularly with the first-team offense as part of a four-man rotation with DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman. While still not a part of the 2026 redraft discussion, Palmer is an intriguing best ball pick, having averaged nearly 645 receiving yards across his last three healthy seasons with the Chargers, and he could be a sneaky, low-cost depth add in dynasty leagues, currently priced as RotoBaller's WR129.
