Jaylen Waddle Still Absent on Tuesday

Tuesday, August 11, 8:37 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (leg) remains absent from training camp practice on Tuesday, although he is present, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Waddle remains day-to-day after dealing with muscle tightness in his leg since last week. His injury is not considered serious, and the Broncos are likely just taking extra precaution for their new addition that they spent first- and third-round picks on to acquire in the offseason. The Broncos have their preseason opener this Friday against the Atlanta Falcons, and Waddle almost certainly will not play in that contest as he continues to recover. The 27-year-old former sixth overall pick from the University of Alabama could be the Broncos' leading target and receiver in 2026 in his first year in the Mile High City, making him a popular WR2 target with upside, especially in leagues that reward points for each catch. Waddle had three 1,000-yard seasons in Miami to begin his career, and he came just short of a fourth with 910 yards and six touchdowns in 16 starts in 2025.

Jordyn Tyson Impressing Early in Camp

Saturday, August 1, 5:37 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson was the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and early returns suggest he's living up to the billing. In recapping the first three practices of training camp, Saints beat reporter Nick Underhill spoke of how impressive the young rookie has looked. "The way he moves and carries himself, I really like... He looks and moves like a high-level athlete... He's an incredibly gifted route-runner." Tyson stood out throughout his collegiate career by finding the soft spots in zone coverage, and with the newly extended Chris Olave consistently ranking among the league's most efficient receivers against man coverage, New Orleans has a tandem whose skill sets complement one another neatly, allowing the duo to quickly develop into one of the top pairings in the league. Tyson is RotoBaller's WR29 but could ultimately prove to be one of the best values in the middle rounds of 2026 drafts.
