Xavier Worthy News
Saturday, August 1, 3:18 PM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is believed to be "OK," according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The young wideout exited Saturday's practice early due to a shoulder injury. However, the former first-round selection appears to have avoided a serious injury and may not face many limitations during the remainder of training camp. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his stats as he works his way back to full strength. Last season, Worthy had a disappointing sophomore campaign as he dealt with a lingering shoulder injury (dislocated shoulder) he suffered back in Week 1. Over the course of the 2025 season (14 games), the wideout scored just one touchdown. However, as a rookie, he found the end zone nine times, with three of them coming on the ground. When healthy, Worthy possesses high-end WR3/FLEX upside operating as the primary deep-threat in the Kansas City passing attack.

Jalen McMillan News
Saturday, August 1, 6:48 AM
After missing most of the 2025 season with a significant neck injury sustained during preseason action, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan has been a full participant in the early days of training camp, regularly flashing the underrated abilities that allowed him to finish as the fantasy WR19 or better in six of his last 10 games played. With the Buccaneers working on two-minute drills during Friday's practice, team staff writer Brianna Dix highlighted a perfectly run dig route that resulted in a long touchdown, and pointed out the contagious energy he brought to the offense by skipping into the end zone. The play came with McMillan aligned on the outside of the formation, which could prove to be a spot he finds himself in more frequently following the departure of six-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans. McMillan is RotoBaller's WR56 and a candidate to greatly outperform ADP if he can stay healthy and earn a regular spot on the outside.
