Dontayvion Wicks News
Thursday, August 13, 9:55 AM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks keeps making noise in training camp. John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia called Wicks the Eagles' WR2 on Thursday and said he was "outstanding again" before highlighting another connection with Jalen Hurts. Wicks beat cornerback Riq Woolen for a touchdown on the play, talked a little trash afterward and then celebrated with Hurts. This hasn't been a one-day flash, either. Wicks has been making plays throughout camp, including a one-handed grab earlier this month, and Philadelphia has him with the starting group on its first unofficial depth chart. The Eagles acquired him from Green Bay in April after he caught 30 passes for 332 yards and two touchdowns last season. He has 108 catches for 1,328 yards and 11 scores through three NFL seasons. With A.J. Brown now in New England, there was always going to be room for another receiver to step forward. So far, Wicks looks like he is doing exactly that.

Adonai Mitchell News
Wednesday, August 12, 11:08 AM
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that wide receiver Adonai Mitchell "should not be overlooked," and that the New York Jets are looking for him to make "a sizable jump" in 2026. Garrett Wilson is the clear-cut No. 1 receiver in New York, but Mitchell "seems to be moving past whatever was holding him back in 1 1/2 seasons" with the Indianapolis Colts to begin his NFL career. The 23-year-old former second-rounder in 2024 from the University of Texas is going to probably have to prove it to be taken more seriously in 12-team fantasy leagues during the regular season, but it's no secret that he's been gaining chemistry with veteran quarterback Geno Smith in training camp this summer, and he's also in a contract yet. In eight games with the Colts last year before he was traded to the Jets, Mitchell caught nine passes for 152 yards and zero touchdowns, before catching 24 of 58 targets for 301 yards and two touchdowns in eight contests with the Jets. He's viewed as New York's clear WR2 right now, which makes him a sleeper late in upcoming drafts.
