Hollywood Brown News
Sunday, August 23, 7:25 PM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown is not expected to have a major role in the 2026 season. Brown had 49 receptions for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The former first-round pick signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Eagles this season, with expectations that he could be the second-string receiver behind DeVonta Smith. However, the additions of Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon affect Brown's fantasy value, as both receivers are expected to play major roles this season. Second-year wideout Darius Cooper has been a standout at training camp and has garnered praise from quarterback Jalen Hurts. At best, Brown will be the WR4 in Philadelphia's run-heavy offense. While the name still carries some fantasy value, Brown is unlikely to produce this season.

Malachi Fields News
Saturday, August 22, 5:29 PM
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields went without a catch in the 26-3 preseason victory over the Miami Dolphins. Although Fields did not record a target in his time on the field, his role appears to be solidified entering the 2026 season. Fields played all eight snaps with the first-team offense and ran the most routes alongside Darius Slayton (5). More good news for the second-round pick: After the first drive, Fields did not play another snap for the rest of the game, while both Slayton, Calvin Austin III, and Odell Beckham Jr. played beyond the opening drive. While receivers Malik Nabers and Darnell Mooney were inactive against the Dolphins, Fields should continue to operate with the first-team offense. Currently ranked as the WR81 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Fields should be considered in the late rounds in drafts this year.
