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.

Xavier Worthy News
Monday, August 17, 11:27 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) remained limited Monday as he works back from a shoulder sprain. Worthy took part in 7-on-7 drills but was held out of 11-on-11 work, according to Pete Sweeney. The injury dates back to August 1, and Worthy missed several practices before returning in a limited capacity on August 10. He has been getting more involved since then, including catching passes during offensive periods last Thursday, but Kansas City still isn't putting him through full-team work. Worthy appeared in 14 games last season while dealing with multiple injuries, finishing with 42 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown. Monday was another step forward, just not a full return. The next notable benchmark will be Worthy getting back into 11-on-11 drills as the Chiefs continue to manage the shoulder.
