    Free agent WR Chase Claypool worked out for the Saints on Tuesday.

    He was joined by Josh Reynolds. The Saints are apparently looking to add to the depth of the room with the news that Jordyn Tyson will miss time early in the season with a hamstring injury. Claypool worked out for the Colts in late July and with the Packers in rookie minicamp. He’s trying to find another shot in the league.
Cowboys' defense does not look improved

    Reynolds, 31, was joined by WR Sterling Shepard, 33, today. Reynolds caught 11 passes for 101 yards with the Jets last year. Shepard caught 39 passes for 371 yards and one touchdown with the Buccaneers last year. Neither player would be on the fantasy radar if they were signed.

    Claypool has not played since the 2023 season. Were he to sign with the Colts, he would not meaningfully impact the incumbent players’ target shares.

    The last time we saw Claypool, he was trying out for the Bills. The former second-rounder did not make the team and was later revealed to have suffered a torn ligament in his toe. Claypool did not resurface with a team in 2025, but now has a chance to impress in the Packers minicamp in hopes of earning a training camp invite. At the peak of his powers, Claypool looked like a DK Metcalf clone. He totaled over 1600 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns in his first two seasons with the Steelers, and was traded to the Bears during the 2022 season after falling out of favor in Pittsburgh. He will turn 28 this summer and could serve as decent depth for the Packers if he makes the team, especially as a replacement option for the oft-injured Christian Watson.

    The Jets will now be without their top two receivers, in addition to quarterback Tyrod Taylor, for their game against the Bengals. Rookie tight end Mason Taylor is also listd as questionable but is expected to play, potentially serving as the top pass-catcher for Justin Fields in a plus matchup for tight ends.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #83
    He did not practice on Friday with the hip injury, which is a concerningly quick downgrade. We’re not entirely sure who else to recommend in New York’s pass-catcher room if Reynolds is down — Arian Smith played 91.8 percent of the snaps last week but turned them into just a three-target sacrificial X showing. Tyler Johnson led the team in receiving yardage and might be the play, but only played 25 percent of the snaps in Week 7.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #5
    Wilson was held out of Wednesday’s practice and looks like a DNP again today. He is a long-shot to suit up on Sunday. With a Week 9 bye up next, Wilson should be back on the field in Week 10 versus the Browns. Until then, Tyler Johnson and Josh Reynolds will operate as the team’s top wideouts. Neither player is awfully appealing for fantasy purposes.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #5
    Wilson could return for a limited session later today, but all signs point to a DNP for the young wideout. With a Week 9 bye on the horizon, the winless Jets shouldn’t be in a hurry to rush Wilson back to the lineup. Fantasy managers should move forward under the assumption Wilson is out for Week 8. Josh Reynolds, Tyler Johnson, and Mason Taylor each caught three passes last week. Reynolds gets a slight edge over Johnson in the fantasy ranks with Wilson out, but Taylor’s tight end eligibility makes him the best start of the trio.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #83
    With Garrett Wilson (knee) sidelined, Reynolds functioned as the team’s WR1. No other Jets pass catcher saw more than five targets on the day. Reynolds appeared to be a favorite of Tyrod Taylor, who came in for Justin Fields after Fields was benched in the second half. Reynolds would be an interesting deep league option next week against a miserable Bengals defense if Taylor is under center for the Jets.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #83
    With Garrett Wilson officially doubtful, Reynolds has a chance to step in as the Jets No. 1 receiver. We’re sure there’s a league deep enough for that to matter, but we can’t endorse Reynolds as a what-the-heck FLEX in most standard-sized leagues.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #83
    It’s an upgrade from a DNP on Wednesday. Reynolds is looking like the Jets No. 1 receiver by default against the Panthers. Were it for not for the overall instability of the Jets passing attack, Reynolds would look like a lot more interesting of a play. Carolina has been something of a pass funnel of late. Still, it’s possible that there’s desperation FLEX value to be mined here.

    Saints LS Zach Wood suffered a calf strain and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks.

    Wood felt calf tightness on Wednesday and was diagnosed with a Grade II calf strain after undergoing tests. The 33-year-old has not missed a game since signing with the Saints in 2017 but is now expected to be out for at least four weeks.

    Cardinals TE Trey McBride (rest/back) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    No need to panic after McBride was seen working off to the side Wednesday; the Cardinals listed him as DNP with a rest/back designation. Despite the back being added to the designation, it does not seem like a serious injury worry with the Cardinals also giving him the “resting player” tag. This reads as a rest day for McBride, he is still good to go for Week 2 against the Seahawks.

    Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle/hip) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Emmanwori is still unable to get in a full practice as he nurses a pesky ankle injury, also adding a hip issue to his practice designation. He will likely need a full practice before he is set to return for the Seahawks. Fellow safety Ty Okada (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday; both players missed Week 1 and are in jeopardy of missing Week 2 against the Cardinals.

    Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp (back) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Kupp popped up on the injury report with a back issue, though he was listed as a limited participant. The veteran 33-year-old may just be having his practice reps managed as he deals with a back ailment. Barring a change, Kupp is still trending to play Week 2 against the Cardinals.

    Seahawks WR Tory Horton (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

    Horton missed Week 1, dealing with a hamstring injury from training camp. He now finally gets in a full practice, opening Week 2 with a full participation designation. The Seahawks are preparing for the 23-year-old to return against the Cardinals, though Horton is best left off fantasy rosters with Drew Lock the starting quarterback for now.

    Malik Willis (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

    Willis popped up on the Dolphins’ injury report with a toe injury, though he was a full practice participant. This indicates the issue is minor enough for the 27-year-old to keep practicing at full strength. Note down Willis’ toe issue, but expect him to be back out there for Week 2 against the 49ers.

    Dolphins EDGE Chop Robinson (concussion protocol) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Robinson appeared in Week 1 against the Raiders and is now in concussion protocol to open up Week 2. The 23-year-old has a history of concussions, entering the protocol twice last season. Robinson will be thoroughly evaluated before he officially returns, given this is his third head injury over the last calendar year.

    Panthers WR Jalen Coker (ankle) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Coker was wearing a boot after rolling his left ankle in the Panthers’ Week 1 loss against the Bears. Head coach Dave Canales told reporters that the team is confident in ramping him up in practice. The 24-year-old got in a limited practice Wednesday, doing an “extended warm up” on the side and getting a “couple of snaps” on things the Panthers are looking for him to execute. Canales added the “hope is to ramp that up a little bit more tomorrow and then cut them loose Friday. So I expect him to play on Sunday.” Coker’s ankle injury is certainly something to keep an eye on, but Canales and the Panthers are confident he will play in Week 2 against the Falcons.

    49ers K Eddy Pineiro (illness) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Pineiro was a non-participant in practice due to an illness. It’s still early in the week, so the 31-year-old kicker will likely return in time for Week 2 against the Dolphins.

    49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Kittle also started out last week as limited, so this seems to be regular practice management for the veteran. He appeared in Week 1 and was targeted five times. Expect Kittle to be back out there for Week 2 against the Dolphins, barring any setbacks.
