Tyquan Thornton News
Tuesday, March 10, 1:40 PM
The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed wide receiver Tyquan Thornton to a two-year, $11 million deal on Monday night, and ESPN's Nate Taylor thinks the Chiefs "should be able to offer him more snaps and more opportunities." The 25-year-old was one of KC's best receivers in 2025, especially early on when both Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) were out. Thornton had a career-high 438 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 19 catches in his first year working with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. "He's the GOAT in my eyes, man," Thornton said of Mahomes. "He's a competitor, and he makes me so much better. It was an honor to go out there and catch those passes from him." As things currently stand, Thornton looks like the WR3 behind Rice and Worthy. His big-play potential is intriguing, though, as a late-round flier in what should be an improved Chiefs offense.

Dontayvion Wicks News
Wednesday, June 17, 5:25 AM
The Philadelphia Eagles sent fifth and seventh-round picks to the Packers back in April to acquire fourth-year wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks. At the time, the deal to send two-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown to the Patriots, which has since become official, was viewed in some league circles as a foregone conclusion, and NFL reporter Albert Breer believes that Wicks will be a major piece of the puzzle in replacing Brown's productivity. In a revamped Eagles receiver room, Wicks stands out for the size he offers over DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, and Marquise Brown, and he has the most experience playing on the boundary, where Brown saw close to 90% of his snaps in 2025. With Lemon unable to take part in minicamp practices due to an injured hamstring, many reports had Wicks labeled as a standout and an early candidate to earn reps alongside Smith in two-receiver sets. Coming from a similarly crowded receiver room in Green Bay, Wicks has been unable to match the 581 yards of his 2023 rookie season, but with a clean slate in a new-look Philadelphia offense, Breer believes he has the ability to earn a major role, and he could become a late-round draft steal as RotoBaller's WR80.
