New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been "remarkably fluid in his routes and a consistent target" for quarterback Drake Maye, according to Chad Graff of The Athletic. It's a great sign for the 31-year-old coming off an ACL tear he suffered in October 2024. Diggs played well for the Houston Texans before the injury, hauling in 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight games. The Patriots signed him to a three-year, $63.5 million contract this past offseason, and he'll be relied upon to be the number one receiver in an offense that is desperate for playmakers in the passing game. Diggs may no longer have the same downfield juice he did in his peak, but he could be a PPR monster if healthy. In Drake Maye's second season, New England's offense should be improved to at least some degree relative to 2024.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard said that rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has exceeded expectations in terms of communication, picking up the playbook and running crisp routes so far in training camp. A report surfaced on Monday from Bucs beat writer Brianna Dix that the 22-year-old has looked like a polished veteran so far this summer and impressed the coaching staff with his perfectionist mentality. This is all worth keeping an eye on as training camp progresses, especially with Chris Godwin (ankle) still on the Physically Unable to Perform list. When Tampa's receivers are all healthy and on the field, Egbuka could struggle for consistent targets behind Mike Evans and Godwin, but if Godwin's ankle injury has him at less than 100% early on, there could be a path to immediate fantasy relevance for the Ohio State product.
