Garrett Wilson News
Sunday, August 2, 7:00 AM
During the New York Jets' first public practice of training camp, the offense looked to be in mid-season form, with team contributors Amanda Vogt and Eric Allen noting that the ball didn't touch the ground once for the first-team offense, with fifth-year receiver Garrett Wilson standing out as an early target for quarterback Geno Smith. On a day in which he went 11/11 with four touchdowns in team drills, Smith's first two connections of competitive sessions went to Wilson, who was charted with five total catches and a touchdown. Wilson has long been capable of drawing one of the heaviest target shares in the league, and his early connection with Smith could lead to continued volume throughout the season. After pacing as the WR6 through the first five weeks of an injury-shortened 2025 campaign, Wilson is RotoBaller's WR19 and a smart pick as a player who could easily break back into the top 12 of the position.

Rome Odunze News
Thursday, July 30, 4:36 PM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) made comments back in June about his injured foot being the "new normal," which led many to believe he'd never be the WR the team envisioned he'd be when they took him ninth overall in 2024 from the University of Washington. The 24-year-old third-year wideout clarified his "new normal" comments from earlier in the offseason by saying on Thursday that "wasn't really what he meant." What he meant was that he was injured last year, suffering a stress fracture in his foot that limited him in the second half. Odunze had 20 catches for 296 yards and five touchdowns through the first four weeks before catching 24 passes for 365 yards and one TD in the final eight regular-season games. He said his "foot feels great" and "amazing" now and that his foot issue from a year ago isn't a "chronic" injury. Fantasy managers shouldn't be avoiding Odunze in upcoming drafts, especially with DJ Moore now in Buffalo. All the offseason hype has been on second-year wideout Luther Burden III, potentially making Odunze an excellent value pick with WR2 upside in 2026.
