Stefon Diggs News
Saturday, August 22, 6:45 AM
The Washington Commanders have listed 15 players who will not participate in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Lions, but NFL Insider Adam Schefter notes that among the starters expected to see action are quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. After sitting out the preseason opener against the Dolphins, Saturday's tilt will provide the first look at Daniels and crew in first-year offensive coordinator David Blough's system, which should bear a resemblance to the one he ran in Detroit as a backup quarterback. While Diggs topped 1,000 receiving yards in his lone season with the Patriots in 2025, both Daniels and McLaurin struggled through injuries in their second season together. Still, big things are expected in a potential bounce-back year in 2026, and Daniels is RotoBaller's QB3 while McLaurin and Diggs are respectively the WR24 and WR44.

Matthew Golden News
Sunday, August 23, 10:25 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden didn't have much to show for his rookie year until the very end. He caught 29 passes for 361 yards during the regular season, then went for 84 yards and his first NFL touchdown against Chicago in the playoffs. Green Bay has cleared out some of the traffic since then. Romeo Doubs left in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks was traded, leaving Golden in the top three with Christian Watson and Jayden Reed. The summer has helped his case, too. Golden caught a 57-yard touchdown from Jordan Love on Family Night, missed a couple of practices with a toe issue, then came right back without much trouble. On Friday against Denver, he was out there with the starters and caught a 19-yard pass from Love on fourth-and-inches during the opening touchdown drive. There are still plenty of mouths to feed once Tucker Kraft is included, so Golden isn't guaranteed a huge target jump. The opportunity is a lot cleaner than it was last year, though. RotoBaller has him 113th overall in PPR, and he's looking more interesting as a bench receiver with upside.
