Chris Blair Catches Second Preseason Touchdown on Friday

Saturday, August 16, 11:42 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Chris Blair led the team in receiving yards, thanks mostly to a 52-yard catch-and-run down the sideline on an Easton Stick pass in the third quarter of Friday's 23-20 loss to the Titans. In all, the 27-year-old caught three of his five targets for a total of 78 yards. It's the second consecutive week with a touchdown catch after hauling in three passes for 54 yards in the team's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions last week. The wide receiver corps for the Falcons is pretty much set, with Drake London, Darnell Mooney, and Ray-Ray McCloud the top three, along with fourth wideout KhaDarel Hodge, who has been with the team since 2022. Blair is battling veteran DJ Chark and a host of others for what is probably just one spot available on the roster, although his performance the last two weeks should help give him a leg up on most of them.

LaJohntay Wester "May Be Called on to Step Up" in Baltimore

Friday, September 18, 5:25 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver LaJohntay Wester "may be called on to step up" in his team's Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, per Ryan Mink of BaltimoreRavens.com. A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Wester recorded the first two catches of his pro career for 15 yards in Baltimore's Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. However, Baltimore now has a major void in its wide receiver room with rookie Ja'Koi Lane (wrist) on Injured Reserve and lead wideout Zay Flowers (hamstring) doubtful to play against the Saints. Wester profiles as a shifty slot receiver, which could position him to step into Flowers' role in the Ravens' offense if Flowers is sidelined. In deeper fantasy leagues, Wester could be worth targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 2.
