Joshua Palmer News
Wednesday, August 12, 6:13 AM
The Buffalo Bills began training camp at St. John Fisher University, but since returning to Orchard Park, wide receiver Joshua Palmer has had some of his most productive practices of the summer, reeling in a pair of deep catches on Tuesday. Palmer's first season in Buffalo was marred by knee and ankle injuries, but after an offseason of rehab, team reporters Alec White and Mike Maynard credit the 26-year-old receiver with turning heads throughout training camp, featuring regularly with the first-team offense as part of a four-man rotation with DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman. While still not a part of the 2026 redraft discussion, Palmer is an intriguing best ball pick, having averaged nearly 645 receiving yards across his last three healthy seasons with the Chargers, and he could be a sneaky, low-cost depth add in dynasty leagues, currently priced as RotoBaller's WR129.

Omar Cooper Jr. News
Saturday, August 22, 5:37 AM
New York Jets rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. got some run with the team's first-team offense during Friday's preseason win over the Steelers, but he stayed in the game well beyond most of the starters, who were pulled after a 10-play, 69-yard touchdown drive to open the night, and he didn't crack the stat sheet until the final series of the second quarter. Cooper ended his night with a single catch for nine yards, with the game serving as a continuation of what has been a quiet training camp. A first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the rookie has yet to secure anything close to a locked-in starting role, still competing with Isaiah Williams, who led the team with five targets on Friday, for the primary slot role in three-receiver sets. One of the least hyped first-rounders in recent memory, Cooper is being drafted as the WR65 in 2026 lineup leagues.
