Garrett Wilson Displaying Clear Chemistry With Newest QB

Saturday, August 8, 5:49 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has never struggled to earn targets, though the quality of those looks has often left something to be desired from a fantasy perspective. A first-round pick in 2022, the start of his career did not align with quarterback Geno Smith's first stint with the Jets, but with the 35-year-old veteran now back with the team that drafted him, the two are making the most of their first training camp together and developing an obvious chemistry. While working on third-and-long situations on Friday, Smith was a perfect five of five when targeting Wilson in team sessions, and the ball has rarely touched the ground when he's gone that way throughout camp. With Justin Fields under center to begin 2025, Wilson started the year as the WR6 before a knee injury derailed his season after only five healthy games. Now, with the injury behind him and the potential beneficiary of improved quarterback play, he's being drafted as the WR19, making him one of the best potential values at the position in 2026 drafts.

Optimism That Malik Nabers Will Play in Week 1

Sunday, August 9, 5:14 AM

Following an offseason of uncertainty after a season-ending knee injury in 2025, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) avoided the PUP list to begin training camp and has participated in nine of the team's ten practices to date, with ESPN's Jordan Raanan reporting that he has looked better as the summer progressed. Head coach John Harbaugh told Raanan that Nabers would continue to see more work in team drills, and the expectation is that he could be ready to play in Week 1 when the Giants face the Dallas Cowboys. Nabers is RotoBaller's WR12 and a player who could work his way into the overall WR1 conversation on a week-to-week basis by season's end.
