Atlanta Falcons rookie sixth-round wide receiver Casey Washington is already looking like a real value pick for the Falcons, as he's made some of the team's best catches in training camp and is in contention for Atlanta's fourth wide receiver role after the loss of Rondale Moore to a season-ending injury. Washington is competing with the likes of Chris Blair and KhaDarel Hodge for the No. 4 role behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III. The Falcons' offense is much more attractive to fantasy managers now that head coach Arthur Smith is gone and quarterback Kirk Cousins is leading the show. The 23-year-old had 49 catches for 670 yards and four touchdowns in his final season at Illinois last year. For now with just a depth role in Atlanta, Washington is one to watch in dynasty/keeper leagues.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jermaine Jackson (undisclosed) was waived and reverted to the IR on Sunday. The rookie receiver and return specialist suffered an undisclosed injury and will spend some time on the IR while the team tries out some more receivers in the meantime. They've been thin at the position through the early stages of training camp which prompted them to bring in Samson Nacua and Marquez Callaway. Jackson has a chance to come back and make the team, but it seems to be an uphill battle unless the injury issues continue with the receiving corps.
