Brian Thomas Jr. News
Tuesday, August 25, 6:39 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) came down with a touchdown catch from Trevor Lawrence on the first play of competitive 11-on-11s during Tuesday's joint practice with the Buccaneers, but Juston W. Lewis of the Florida Times-Union notes that he has been grabbing at his shoulder since and is being looked at by trainers after initially attempting to return to action. Part of one of the deepest positional units in the league, the Jaguars receiver room has been among the most dissected throughout training camp, and none of the team's top three receivers have gotten through the summer without ailment. Parker Washington (undisclosed) only recently returned to practice after missing several sessions with an undisclosed injury, and Jakobi Meyers (hand) was held out of Sunday's practice with a hand injury. The status of Thomas, who is RotoBaller's WR33, will now need to be monitored as the busiest drafting weeks of the fantasy season approach.

Matthew Golden News
Sunday, August 23, 10:25 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden didn't have much to show for his rookie year until the very end. He caught 29 passes for 361 yards during the regular season, then went for 84 yards and his first NFL touchdown against Chicago in the playoffs. Green Bay has cleared out some of the traffic since then. Romeo Doubs left in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks was traded, leaving Golden in the top three with Christian Watson and Jayden Reed. The summer has helped his case, too. Golden caught a 57-yard touchdown from Jordan Love on Family Night, missed a couple of practices with a toe issue, then came right back without much trouble. On Friday against Denver, he was out there with the starters and caught a 19-yard pass from Love on fourth-and-inches during the opening touchdown drive. There are still plenty of mouths to feed once Tucker Kraft is included, so Golden isn't guaranteed a huge target jump. The opportunity is a lot cleaner than it was last year, though. RotoBaller has him 113th overall in PPR, and he's looking more interesting as a bench receiver with upside.
