The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms on a deal with wide receiver Devin Thompkins. The 24-year-old spent the first two seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was waived by the team in late May after finishing with 22 receptions in 22 games with the team. Thompkins was often times used as the No. 4 or even 5th option on the depth chart. He didn't get a ton of chances, so maybe he'll see an increased workload in Carolina. He'll rejoin coach Dave Canales who was with the Bucs last season. Maybe Canales can unlock something we haven't seen from Thompkins.

Las Vegas wide receiver Tyreik McAllister is making a compelling case for a roster spot with the Raiders, showcasing his versatility and special teams prowess. He caught two passes for 56 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven yards on one attempt in Friday's preseason tie against the San Francisco 49ers. After a standout performance against the 49ers, where he dazzled with a 35-yard touchdown catch and an electrifying 81-yard punt return, McAllister is turning heads. Originally a running back, his transition to wide receiver adds depth to his utility on the field, making him an intriguing pick for fantasy football enthusiasts looking for a sleeper. His background in the CFL and time on the Broncos' practice squad have honed his special teams skills, which could be his ticket onto the final 53-man roster. For fantasy managers in deep leagues, McAllister represents a late-round flier, especially if he secures a role that includes return duties for leagues that reward return yards.
