Jerry Jeudy News
Wednesday, August 5, 5:41 AM
The Cleveland Browns spent two top 40 picks on the wide receiver position in the 2026 NFL Draft, and with both rookies standing out in their first training camp, The Athletic's Zac Jackson believes veteran Jerry Jeudy's time as the de facto number one receiver could be drawing to a close. Jackson specifically points to the emergence of second-rounder Denzel Boston as an inciting factor in a potential depth chart shakeup. The Browns spent a first-round pick on KC Concepcion, who has worked primarily out of the slot through the early stages of training camp but has the versatility to share the field with Boston in two-receiver sets. Jeudy led the team with 105 targets in 2025, but connecting on fewer than half of those looks, he ended the year with only 602 yards and two scores on his way to a WR53 finish. With little change at the quarterback position but increased competition in his own room, Jeudy is not a player who needs to be targeted in 2026, falling to WR66 in RotoBaller's latest rankings.

Ja'Kobi Lane News
Sunday, August 9, 8:27 AM
The hype continues for Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane at training camp, with The Baltimore Sun's Josh Tolentino writing that Lane "just keeps stacking highlight receptions." The latest was a 20-yard completion from quarterback Lamar Jackson on Sunday in which Lane used his impressive frame to get in front of and box out cornerback Marlon Humphrey to haul in the pass. The 22-year-old third-rounder from USC appears to have locked himself in as the WR3 for Baltimore going into his first year in the NFL behind Zay Flowers (quadriceps) and Rashod Bateman, so far outperforming fellow rookie Elijah Sarratt as the Ravens look for another wideout to step up in their new offense. At the very least, the 6-foot-4, 200-pounder will be an interesting red-zone weapon for Jackson in his rookie campaign, and he should be rising up draft boards thanks to his impressive play so far this summer. Right now, Lane is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 107 fantasy WR for the 2026 season. He's shaping up as an intriguing late-round flier for WR depth in deeper fantasy leagues.
