Garrett Wilson News
Saturday, August 22, 7:26 AM
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson's connection with new Jets quarterback Geno Smith has been building, and the star wideout "looks like himself again," per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Wilson was limited by a knee injury to just seven games played in 2025. However, the 26-year-old played in 17 games in each of his first three seasons in the NFL, recording at least 83 catches and 1,042 receiving yards in each of those campaigns. Wilson has had the misfortune of working with some of the league's worst quarterback play throughout his Jets career to this point. While Smith is coming off a down year with the Las Vegas Raiders, the veteran signal-caller should at least bring a level of stability to New York's passing game. As long as Wilson stays healthy, he should dominate target share in the Jets' offense. Entering 2026, Wilson profiles as a steady fantasy WR2.

Puka Nacua News
Tuesday, August 25, 11:22 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (psoas) remained out of team practice Tuesday, according to Nate Atkins. Nacua was doing workouts off to the side, the same setup the Rams had for him Monday. He has now gone two weeks without participating in team drills since leaving the Aug. 11 joint practice with Dallas because of psoas soreness. Sean McVay initially expected Nacua back the following week, then shifted that expectation into this week as the Rams continued to take a cautious approach. Nacua is coming off a massive 2025 season, when he caught an NFL-leading 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games. Nothing from Tuesday's report points to a new setback, but the anticipated return to team work still hasn't happened. With Week 1 getting closer, his practice status remains worth watching.
