Jauan Jennings Losing Snaps to Tai Felton?

Wednesday, August 19, 6:31 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings could see less volume and fewer snaps than expected in 2026. Jennings is coming off back-to-back strong seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, totaling 1,618 yards and 15 touchdowns over 30 games. He was traded to Minnesota, where he was expected to be the team's WR3 behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. However, in the preseason win over the New York Giants, Jennings played just two of nine first-team snaps, while Addison and second-year receiver Tai Felton played all nine. Felton has made a lot of noise during training camp and could push Jennings for snaps in 2026. Despite solid production in 2024 and 2025, Jennings, as the WR3 or possibly the WR4, is not worth the value this season in fantasy drafts.

Denzel Boston News

Denzel Boston a Stand-Out Performer in Joint Practice on Thursday

Thursday, August 20, 6:12 PM

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston was his team's most impressive player during a joint practice session with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. The 39th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Boston recorded 62 catches for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns across 12 games at the University of Washington in 2025. Along with fellow Cleveland rookie wideout KC Concepcion, Boston is expected to play a significant role in the Browns' offense right away. While Cleveland's uncertain quarterback situation is a potential limiting factor for Boston's production, the 22-year-old carries significant upside due to his combination of talent and immediate opportunity. He could be a sleeper to target in redraft leagues ahead of 2026.
