Zay Flowers News
Saturday, August 8, 9:18 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (leg) left Saturday's practice after colliding with safety Jaylinn Hawkins during seven-on-seven work, according to Jamison Hensley. Flowers immediately went to the ground and had trouble getting back to his feet while trainers examined his left leg. He eventually walked back to the facility under his own power and did not need a cart. Hensley reported that the early hope is Flowers suffered a left quad contusion, though Baltimore has not confirmed a diagnosis. The two-time Pro Bowler is coming off a career year in which he caught 86 passes for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns. Flowers is the clear centerpiece of the Ravens' receiving corps, so Jesse Minter's next update should provide a better idea of whether this costs him any practice time.

Kayshon Boutte News
Tuesday, August 4, 8:44 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is already up to four catches in training camp practice on Tuesday, according to the Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan, and he continues to see his stock surge this summer as a potential trade candidate before the start of the 2026 regular season. Boutte has stated his desire to remain with the Patriots, but after the offseason additions of Pro Bowler A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, Boutte could be the odd-man out after catching 78 passes for 1,159 yards and nine touchdowns in 34 games (23 starts) in his first three years in the NFL. The 24-year-old former sixth-rounder from LSU did have a career-high six touchdowns in 14 regular-season games in 2025, but there is just a lot of competition for targets now in New England's WR room. Boutte is competing for a role in 2026 (if he stays in New England) with DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism. For fantasy purposes, Boutte's best path to fantasy relevance in 12-team formats would be a trade out of town.
