Kyle Williams News
Sunday, August 23, 6:07 AM
New England Patriots second-year wide receiver Kyle Williams got behind the Eagles defense for a 69-yard touchdown catch in the team's 24-21 preseason win on Saturday night, now giving him two impressive scores in as many games this summer. Williams had a slow start to training camp, with some around the Patriots even speculating that his roster spot could be in jeopardy after an offseason overhaul of the receiver room, but he has continued to stack days of late, showing up big whenever his number has been called. While his long touchdown on Saturday came from backup Tommy DeVito, Williams' game-breaking speed could show up regularly in a New England offense helmed by Drake Maye, who proved himself one of the league's best deep ball throwers in his 2025 breakout season. Williams could ultimately still struggle to find consistent production as part of a deep receiver room, but he has the potential to help win weeks as a late-round pick in 2026 best ball drafts.

Bryce Lance News
Wednesday, August 19, 4:59 PM
Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports that New Orleans Saints rookie fourth-round wide receiver Bryce Lance (undisclosed) operated as the team's WR2 in his return to training camp practice on Tuesday. The Saints will not have first-round rookie wideout Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) to begin the 2026 regular season, and Devaughn Vele was rested on Tuesday, so Lance worked opposite Chris Olave in the joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys. The 23-year-old Lance, the younger brother of QB Trey Lance, should have an opportunity to carve out a role in the Saints' offense early in the year with Tyson sidelined, although it probably won't be enough volume to make him interesting in most fantasy football leagues. The 6-foot-3, 204-pounder has good size and speed and scored 28 total touchdowns in 57 games at North Dakota State in his collegiate career. Lance is an interesting dynasty/keeper stash for his athleticism in an up-and-coming offense.
