Jaylen Waddle News
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.

Parker Washington News
Sunday, August 9, 8:44 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington, who had a breakout season with the Jags in 2025, has been by far the most hyped receiver in the NFL in training camp this summer. Sports Illustrated's John Shipley writes that Washington had the biggest play of the day yet again during practice on Sunday, which came on a frozen rope down the field from quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The 24-year-old ran by safety Rayuan Lane for the biggest gain of the day. Washington has been "the most consistent playmaker all camp, and yet he's ranked as only the No. 30 fantasy WR at RotoBaller going into the 2026 season. The former sixth-rounder in 2023 from Penn State has plenty of competition for targets with Brian Thomas Jr., who has also looked good in camp, and Jakobi Meyers, but Washington's chemistry with Lawrence has ratcheted up to a new level this summer. After catching 58 of his 95 targets for 847 yards and five touchdowns in 16 regular-season games in 2025, Washington looks primed to improve on those numbers and have the first 1,000-yard season of his career.
