Elic Ayomanor News
Saturday, August 1, 9:10 AM
Tennessee Titans second-year wide receiver Elic Ayomanor "continues to impress" in the early portion of training camp, making a nice catch from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky over Joshua Williams in practice on Saturday, according to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. Ayomanor showed some flashes with the Titans as a rookie in 2025, catching 41 of his 89 targets for 515 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games after the team selected him in the fourth round from Stanford. The 23-year-old wasn't consistent enough to be worth a roster spot in the majority of redraft fantasy leagues last year, though, and his path to a bigger role on offense in Year 2 is a difficult one after the Titans drafted Carnell Tate in the first round and signed Wan'Dale Robinson to a big free-agent deal. RotoBaller currently has Ayomanor ranked as the No. 108 fantasy WR for 2026, meaning he should go undrafted again in most fantasy leagues this fall. Ayomanor figures to be battling for the WR4 role with Chimere Dike behind Tate, Robinson, and veteran Calvin Ridley.

Zachariah Branch News
Friday, July 31, 9:17 AM
Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch received praise from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa during training camp on Friday, according to Tori McElhaney of the team's official website. "You see him, he's usually open," Tagovailoa said. The 22-year-old third-rounder out of the University of Georgia was also a standout during organized team activities in the spring, with Tagovailoa saying back then that the young pass-catcher reminded him of former Dolphins teammate Jaylen Waddle. That's pretty high praise. Branch could also have a path to immediate fantasy relevance in 2026 in his first year in the NFL, as none of Atlanta's WR spots are locked up besides Drake London as the unquestioned WR1. Branch will primarily be competing with former first-rounder Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus for the WR2 role this summer. The small slot receiver could face durability concerns in the NFL, but his speed could make up for it. Branch will most likely go undrafted in most single-year fantasy formats, but he has the skills and opportunity to quickly emerge as a waiver-wire priority in Atlanta. RotoBaller has Branch ranked as the WR80 going into 2026.
