Davante Adams News
Tuesday, August 25, 8:54 AM
The Athletic's Nate Atkins writes that there was some concern over whether Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams could still be a perimeter receiver at 33 years old, but he has looked "fresh and explosive" in training camp and was "virtually uncoverable" in joint practices against the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. Atkins also said Adams' connection with quarterback Matthew Stafford has been even more impressive, as the two are "slicing up zone coverages with route adjustments in the intermediate part of the field." Last year, Adams was new to the team, and Stafford missed most of training camp while rehabbing an injury. Adams caught 60 of 114 targets for 789 yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns in 2025 in his first year in L.A., but staying healthy for a full season will be a challenge for the veteran pass-catcher after he dealt with lower-body injuries last year. Atkins writes that the Rams might need to get creative with load management for Adams, but one thing is clear: his talent "has not seen a drop-off." Fantasy managers should be targeting Adams as more of a touchdown-dependent, low-end WR2 this fall.

Jakobi Meyers News
Sunday, August 23, 8:42 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hand) did not practice with the rest of the team in training camp on Sunday, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. Head coach Liam Coen said on Friday that Meyers jammed his right hand during a joint practice with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday, and he was seen wearing a brace while sitting on the sidelines on Friday. The 29-year-old's injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but he did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Panthers and could continue to miss practice in the coming week before the preseason finale on Friday, Aug. 28, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We would be surprised if Meyers' hand injury prevents him from being ready for Week 1 of the regular-season opener in early September. Both Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. have been in the headlines for standout training camps, which has pushed Meyers' fantasy stock down going into his first full year in Jacksonville. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 52 wideout after he caught 42 of 61 targets for 483 yards and three touchdowns in nine games last year with the Jags after he was acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders at midseason.
