Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) is not taking part in Monday's training camp practice due to back tightness, according to the team. It doesn't sound like Smith's back injury is particularly serious, so hopefully he'll be back on the field in a matter of days. If his back injury were to linger, though, it would give more opportunities to Jahan Dotson, Terrace Marshall, Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson behind WR1 A.J. Brown. Smith has only missed five of 77 games since he entered the league in 2021 despite his slim build. What he lacks in pure volume, the 26-year-old makes up for in efficiency deep down the field as one of the better No. 2 wideouts in the league behind Brown in an offense with plenty of mouths to feed. As long as Smith's back injury doesn't linger, he'll be a fine low-end WR2/high-end WR3 target in fantasy drafts.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was once again the focal point of the team's offense during Sunday's training camp practice. Dan Duggan of The Athletic charted Nabers with five receptions on 10 completed passes by Russell Wilson. Nabers finished his rookie season with 165 targets, finishing behind only Ja'Marr Chase in that category despite missing two games. It's worth noting that Nabers has been managing a toe issue, but had dealt with it since college and wasn't slowed down by it during his rookie campaign. While the quarterback under center has changed, the game plan remains the same, and the 2025 Giants offense will once again run through Nabers. Ordinarily, there might be trepidation in taking pieces from a subpar offense, which the Giants project to be once more. Still, Nabers' unreal target numbers should have drafters feeling great about him as their first-round pick, and he could realistically challenge to be the overall WR1 this season.
