Keenan Allen News
Friday, August 21, 8:10 AM
Indianapolis Colts' newly acquired wide receiver Keenan Allen received praise from head coach Shane Steichen, who called him the "most cerebral receiver" he's been around. "He sees the game like a quarterback: how to run routes, how to attack leverage, how he sees coverage, especially inside in the slot, outside, how corners play, how linebackers play them in the slot. That's built-up reps over the years, and he's seen so many different looks, and it's like clockwork for him in his brain." Allen signed a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Colts on Wednesday. With wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) injured and a gaping hole left after the team traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Allen will have a significant role in this offense. Currently ranked WR60 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Allen offers starting upside if Pierce misses time this season.

KC Concepcion News
Friday, August 21, 6:02 AM
The Cleveland Browns spent a 2026 first-round pick on wide receiver KC Concepcion, and since Day 1, head coach Todd Monken and the offensive staff have not held back in loading up his plate. "He's handled us moving him around at an elite level," Monken told team reporter Kelsey Russo. "It's not easy to - all right, you're at Z, OK, you're at F, you're at X. We're going to ask you to do all of these things within our offense, and he's been impressive." Concepcion won the Paul Hornung Award in 2025 as the most versatile player in college football, and that versatility was on full display in his first preseason game, in which he caught three passes and scored on a 14-yard touchdown run while also returning punts. Concepcion projects to feature heavily in three-receiver sets along with veteran Jerry Jeudy and fellow rookie Denzel Boston, and the ability to play all three spots should help to keep him on the field regardless of alignment. At RotoBaller's WR46, the 21-year-old is a high-floor target in the middle rounds of drafts who could also offer week-winning spike performances.
