Redskins WR Dez Briscoe (not injury related, probable) took full practice reps again Friday and is probable for Week 17.
CeeDee Lamb's absence has opened up opportunities for the Cowboys' young wide receivers, such as Jalen Tolbert, their third-round pick in 2022. After releasing Michael Gallup earlier in the offseason and not addressing the position yet with a known commodity in free agency or early in the draft, Tolbert has the chance to take the No. 3 role behind Lamb and Brandin Cooks.

Tolbert has had modest numbers through his first two professional seasons and was inactive for nine games during his rookie year. If he locks in the WR3 job he could be an interesting dart throw late in drafts.
Tight end Greg Dulcich, who dealt with hamstring injuries throughout the 2023 season, worked out on the side, but Payton noted the third-year player is “close” to full participation and won’t have to be held out of training camp.
Related Players: Adam Trautman, Lucas Krull, Nate Adkins
With Dulcich missing almost the entirety of last year, there was basically no tight end usage in the passing game, with Trautman leading the room with 22 catches. Dulcich shouldn't be considered in typical redraft leagues but makes for a good stash in Dynasty.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is already back on the field practicing during OTAs and has no doubt he will be ready for Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, despite tearing the ACL in his right knee late last year.
Jones showed no ill effects while participating in individual and 7-on-7 drills Thursday, just six months after injuring that knee in a November loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jones -and the entire Giants offense- had an incredibly disappointing 2023. Of five complete games in which he attempted at least 20 pass attempts, he threw a touchdown in only one. Though he did show his ceiling in Week 2 when he threw his two '23 touchdowns and scored 30+ fantasy points. He is an interesting deep SuperFlex option with a bona fide WR1 (Malik Nabers) on the roster.
