Bub Means News
Wednesday, August 13, 6:12 PM
The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Bub Means (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Means suffered a serious lower-leg injury in the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and will now miss the entire 2025 season. Before his injury on Sunday, he caught one pass for a gain of 12 yards. It's definitely a blow to the Saints receiving corps after the 24-year-old fifth-rounder last year caught nine of his 15 targets for 118 yards and one touchdown in seven games (one start) in his rookie season. Means also missed the final nine games of his first year in the league with an ankle injury, so he has quickly developed an injury-prone label. Means will now rehab his leg in hopes of being ready for the start of the 2026 season.

Malachi Fields News
Thursday, June 11, 8:21 AM
After recording 36 receptions for 630 yards and five touchdowns across 12 games in his final collegiate season at Notre Dame, wide receiver Malachi Fields was selected by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Entering his rookie year, Fields looks to be well-positioned to make an immediate impact in New York. Superstar Giants wideout Malik Nabers (knee) is still facing an uncertain return timeline from the knee injury that ended his 2025 season. New York still has veteran wideout Darius Slayton on its roster and has been very active in the wide receiver free agent market, bringing in Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Braxton Berrios, and Odell Beckham Jr. However, none of those veterans should hold Fields back from a significant role if he can put together a productive training camp. Dynasty managers may want to be aggressive in pursuing Fields ahead of what could be a breakout rookie season.
