Ihmir Smith-Marsette News
Saturday, August 24, 9:36 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette (ankle) left the team's preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills early on Saturday after landing awkwardly completing a catch in the second quarter. The 24-year-old hauled in 2-of-3 targets for 11 yards while contributing 27 yards on two punt returns and a field-flipping 46 yards on his lone kick return. Smith-Marsette was productive before he picked up the injury and is expected to be the team's returner this upcoming season. Barring the severity of his ankle issue, that could still be the case. It's a bit early to tell how impactful the NFL's new kickoff rules will be come the start of the regular season. However, fantasy managers may want to keep the Iowa product on their radar as a sneaky option, depending on how your league values return yards. His Yahoo! ADP is far down enough that he'd be best suited as a prospective waiver-wire add.

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. News
Saturday, April 25, 12:53 PM
The Seattle Seahawks have selected Kansas wide receiver prospect Emmanuel Henderson Jr. with the 199th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Henderson opened his collegiate career at Alabama, catching just five passes over three seasons. He transferred to the Jayhawks' program ahead of the 2025 season and immediately broke out for 45 catches, 766 yards, and five touchdowns. He's a quick player with the ability to stretch the field as a depth receiver. On the offensive side of the ball, he's more of a developmental piece on the depth chart behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, Jake Bobo, and Tory Horton. His quickest path to playing time is likely on special teams, where he could share return duties with Shaheed.
