Green Bay Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden kicked off training camp as the two starters in two-WR sets, according to team reporter Weston Hodkiewicz. While Day 1 training-camp usage should be taken with a grain of salt, this could signal that Jayden Reed will continue to be primarily utilized in three-WR sets. Reed has provided boom weeks for fantasy managers through the first two seasons of his career despite ranking outside the top 70 wide receivers in snap share. It comes as no surprise that Golden, a rookie first-round pick out of Texas, is running with the first team offense, and the team could be hoping he develops into the clear No. 1 wide receiver for Jordan Love. Ultimately, Reed will remain on the fantasy football radar, but his ceiling is limited if Green Bay continues to be unwilling to play him as a full-time receiver.

The Athletic's Zac Jackson writes that the Cleveland Browns are banking on wide receiver Cedric Tillman building on his big stretch in the middle of last season since they didn't draft a receiver and only added Diontae Johnson in free agency. Jackson adds that Tillman should be in for a full-time role in 2025 and could complement WR1 Jerry Jeudy in an offense that could incorporate a lot of deep passes if veteran Joe Flacco wins the quarterback job. The advantage that Tillman has is his size (6-foot-3, 215 pounds), and he scored his first three NFL touchdowns in October and November of last year. Although he missed the last six games of 2024 with a concussion, he's still viewed as an ascending player and has two years left on his rookie deal. Even with more opportunity, Tillman will likely be viewed as a WR5/6 target in deeper fantasy formats for receiver depth.
