The Jets activated WR Mike Williams from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list after he passed his physical.

This doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a full-go by Week 1 but it's a step in the right direction. If everyone is healthy, namely Aaron Rodgers, the Jets could be interesting in fantasy for the first time in decades. Williams could carve out a role as a fantasy WR3 with upside for more.

Moore had apparently been losing some snaps to McCloud through training camp, so this most likely pushes Ray-Ray into the starting lineup if Moore ends up missing time. Regardless, neither slot guy is especially attractive for fantasy purposes, with Drake London and Kyle Pitts (and Bijan Robinson) expected to take a massive chunk of the target share.

There is optimism at Steelers camp that quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) could return to practice this week.

"The plan, to my understanding, is he's going to see the doctor again this coming week," Pelissero said (H/T Sports Illustrated). "There's optimism that he's going to be fine, be able to get back out there and take back some of those reps that he's been giving up to [Justin Fields]."

Wilson is expected to step right back into the QB1 role when he does return to practice, but his absence has allowed Justin Fields to get plenty of reps with the first team and try to close the gap in the competition. Wilson is a low-end QB2 in our current rankings.

Quarterback Russell Wilson injured a calf during the team’s conditioning test. On Tuesday, he finally participated in training-camp practice. It was also the first training-camp practice of 2024 in pads.

Via 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, Wilson took a few snaps in 7-on-7 and executed a handoff in 11-on-11 drills.

Obviously it wasn't a high workload, but Wilson says he feels good and is getting better every day. The story said the team doesn't seem to be rushing Wilson back into a full workload as HC Mike Tomlin said he's "slowing down the progress" and playing it day-to-day. Wilson remains a low-end QB2 heading into drafts.

I preface this by saying, yes, I know it’s very early, but …

Malik Nabers has that special quality the Giants have not had since Odell Beckham Jr.: he demoralizes defenses.

Stapleton went on to say he thinks Nabers might be better at the top of his routes than OBJ was as a rookie. He added that it could be the case that even though Nabers is covered, he's still open. Nabers was obviously hyped during the draft so he continues to prove his ability at camp. Some even considered him the top WR prospect, ahead of Marvin Harrison. Nabers is ranked 27th on our WR list heading into drafts, but has some things working against him with the Giants.

Malachi Corley still has a “long way to go” with his route running, Robert Saleh said. The next two weeks will be good for him because he’ll see extra reps with Xavier Gipson hurt (leg injury).

Extra reps are certainly not a bad sign, but it's still up in the air how much fantasy usage the rookie will have in 2024. If Gipson were to miss extended time —with Mike Williams' availability still up in the air— Corley could scoot up fantasy rankings a little bit.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that QB Russell Wilson is dealing with a calf issue that he woke up with and he’s considered day-to-day. Justin Fields took the first-team reps.

A murky situation continues to get murky, and it's unlikely to clear up any time soon. Wilson was reportedly the shoo-in as the lead guy through times this summer, but if Fields ends up shining with his opportunities, we can imagine that sentiment flipping. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but neither QB is an obvious click in fantasy as it currently stands.

The Jets announced Thursday that Mike Williams will begin training camp on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list alongside fullback Nick Bawden and defensive tackle Leonard Taylor.

Locker goes on to state, "In mid-June, head coach Robert Saleh said Williams, 29, likely will follow a similar recovery that running back Breece Hall took last year after his torn ACL, meaning limited snaps until the regular season begins."

With the WR's ADP falling into the 11th round and later, he's worth a stab to gamble on a return to form from Aaron Rodgers.

Did Thursday’s final mandatory minicamp practice provide a subtle — or maybe even not-so-subtle — sign that Deshaun Watson is feeling better? At the risk of making too much out of the last of the team’s 13 instruction-based spring practice sessions, we’ll stick with maybe.

“I’ve said it before (that) I’ve gotten to see him throw throughout the course of this rehab,” HC Kevin Stefanski said. “I don’t know (exactly) when it was, but a while back, he looked very normal to me. So that looked normal to me.”

Assuming there are no future hiccups with Watson's rehabbing, he should be fully cleared well ahead of Week 1. He is currently ranked as 4for4's QB22 as he attempts to string together his first full season since 2020.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. spent a good portion of 11/11 drills today with the 1s. The rookie is already making a push to be the Giants back on passing downs. Pass pro this summer, as always, will be the final test.

Tracy has been climbing up rookie draft boards for two months now, with his best ball ADP making a similar ascension. There isn't a lot of talent in the Giants backfield —or elsewhere for that matter— so Tracy could garner a far bigger role than his fifth-round NFL Draft capital would make us believe.
