Texans: WR Walter returns to practice

WR Jaylen Waddle limping pretty good. Looks like left leg.

What initially appeared to be a minor precaution now deserves closer attention. There still isn’t a reported diagnosis or long-term timetable, but Waddle’s inability to practice and visible limp make his next update important. Sutton, Franklin and Bryant would all benefit from additional first-team/first-read opportunities if Waddle misses extended time.

Another big running back deal: three-time Pro-Bowl RB Jonathan Taylor and the Colts reached agreement today on a two-year, $44 million extension worth up to $47 million that includes $39 million guaranteed, per @rapsheet and me.

Taylor remains one of the safest workhorse backs in fantasy and a firm top-five selection. The long-term commitment also provides some additional Dynasty security, though his age and enormous career workload still need to be considered beyond 2026.

Former Patriots WR Stefon Diggs is set to sign with the Commanders, sources say.

With an offseason at full health, Diggs is ready to hit the ground running as a key weapon for Jayden Daniels in Year 3. The QB-friendly WR should help.

Washington is about as favorable a late-summer landing spot as Diggs could have found. He gets a strong quarterback in Daniels and a clear path to the No. 2 receiver role without being asked to operate as the unquestioned centerpiece of the passing game. Diggs should enter the rankings as a fantasy WR3 candidate, while Williams, McCaffrey and Burks all lose appeal. McLaurin’s ceiling takes a slight target-volume hit, although the overall improvement to Washington’s passing offense helps offset it.
