Brian Thomas Jr. News
Tuesday, August 18, 6:52 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has been sharing reps as the No. 3 receiver with Travis Hunter, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. For most of training camp, when Thomas has been on the field, Hunter has been on the sideline, and vice versa. Additionally, DiRocco reports that although Thomas has been impressive this summer, the Jaguars have given far more reps to Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, whom they are reluctant to take off the field. At this point, fantasy managers should be concerned that Thomas is going to open the season sharing reps as the Jags' No. 3 receiver. Additionally, although Hunter is expected to play more defense than offense, all signs point to Thomas coming off the field when the Jaguars choose to give Hunter reps at wide receiver. Thomas has fallen to WR33 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings, making him a fringe WR3/flex in most leagues.

Carnell Tate News
Monday, August 17, 10:24 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate will be evaluated after taking a hit during Monday's practice, according to Turron Davenport. Head coach Robert Saleh didn't sound concerned afterward, and Tate said he was good as he walked back into the building following practice. No specific injury or body part has been reported yet. Tate, the fourth overall pick in April's draft, has been one of the bigger stories of Titans camp after repeatedly flashing during offseason work and training camp. His preseason debut was quiet, as he went without a catch on three targets against the San Francisco 49ers, though Saleh said afterward that Tate played fast and was winning his one-on-one matchups. For now, there isn't much reason to read more into Monday's hit until Tennessee completes the evaluation. Saleh's immediate reaction is encouraging, but Tate's status will be clearer once the team provides another update.
