Tim Patrick News
Saturday, July 25, 1:29 PM
The New York Jets placed wide receiver Tim Patrick (undisclosed) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The good news for Patrick, who suffered a torn ACL and Achilles in back-to-back seasons in 2022 and 2023 while with the Denver Broncos, is that his injury isn't considered serious, and he could be ready to play in the Jets' preseason opener on Aug. 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 32-year-old veteran wideout will probably open the 2026 campaign as the Jets' WR4, at best, behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and rookie Omar Cooper Jr., leaving him little room for fantasy value in all leagues. Patrick had 15 receptions on just 24 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (three starts) in a crowded Jacksonville Jaguars' receiving room last year. He had back-to-back 700-yard seasons with a combined 11 touchdowns in Denver in 2020 and 2021 before injuries struck, and Patrick is now a veteran depth option for the Jets heading into his seventh NFL campaign.

Bryce Lance News
Wednesday, July 22, 9:39 AM
After recording 51 catches for 1,079 yards and eight touchdowns across 13 games at North Dakota State in 2025, wide receiver Bryce Lance was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints. The Saints enter 2026 with two high-end wide receiver options who are clearly ahead of Lance on the depth chart in Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed). However, New Orleans is still looking to replace the downfield ability of former wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, whom the team traded away at the 2025 trade deadline. Lance averaged over 21 yards per reception in his final collegiate season and tested out as an elite athlete at the 2026 Scouting Combine, so he could profile as the explosive big-play threat that the Saints are looking for. Lance may not provide fantasy-relevant production right away, but he's worth targeting in dynasty formats for his long-term upside.
