Treylon Burks News
Thursday, July 30, 12:47 PM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (foot) did not practice Thursday because of foot soreness, according to Ben Standig. There was no further update on the severity of the issue. Burks is trying to build on a productive offseason while competing for work behind Terry McLaurin in a receiver room without a settled No. 2. Washington re-signed the former first-round pick in March after he caught 10 passes for 130 yards and one touchdown in eight games last season. Health remains central to his case. Burks has played 35 games through four NFL seasons, with 11 being his career high in any one year. The missed practice is worth tracking, but there is not enough information yet to suggest a longer absence. For now, fantasy managers only need to monitor how quickly he returns and whether he can regain the momentum he built during offseason work.

Marvin Mims Jr. News
Saturday, August 1, 8:58 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has a tougher path to consistent playing time in 2026 in Denver after the team's offseason addition of Jaylen Waddle, but that hasn't stopped him from displaying his big-play ability in training camp, according to Susanna Weir of DenverBroncos.com. In what was the play of the day in practice on Friday, quarterback Bo Nix delivered a deep ball at least 50 yards down the field to Mims, who caught the pass for a would-be touchdown. "He's demonstrated it, time in and time out," head coach Sean Payton said of Mims' ability to make big plays. "There's a lot of confidence that he plays with. He's got that top-end speed, but his strength is locating the ball when it's down the field, 50 yards or 40 yards. He does that really well." The 24-year-old's big-play ability is definitely useful for a Broncos offense looking to become more explosive, but it was a bad sign in 2025 when he regressed to a 37-322-1 line in 15 regular-season games. The former second-rounder in 2023 from Oklahoma is now part of a crowded WR corps in Denver, and his fantasy football stock has fallen considerably. RotoBaller has Mims ranked as the No. 95 WR going into 2026.
