And now to catch you up on yesterday’s happenings.
Stefon Diggs (WAS, WR) is signing a one-year deal worth up to $12 million with the Commanders, giving Jayden Daniels a proven veteran opposite Terry McLaurin.
My take: Diggs led all wideouts in catch rate last year at 82.5%, so he steps in as an immediate WR2 with real standalone value, and I'd draft him a couple rounds ahead of his now-stale ~11th-round WR46 tag. Dropping McLaurin a few spots given the target competition but still a team I want to be heavily stacking.
Zay Flowers (BAL, WR) signed a four-year, $140 million extension with $108 million guaranteed, cementing him as Baltimore's clear WR1 after a 2025 season where he set career highs with 86 catches and 1,211 yards.
My take: When a team pays a receiver like a top-five option, that's the loudest possible signal about who's getting fed, and it locks Flowers in as a strong pick in the back half of Round 3. He also aligns well with a Lamar Jackson stack that may carry some of the most upside of any QB-WR stack this year. As for late complementary options, Ja'Kobi Lane has been the star of Ravens camp and is basically free in the last round or off waivers.
Travis Etienne Jr. (NO, RB) has been taking the bulk of first-team early-down reps while Alvin Kamara is the first option on third down and in passing situations.
My take: This is the kind of clean committee split that caps both guys but the real question is who is getting to get the red zone / goal line work. If it’s Etienne, then he’s still a strong pick at cost and Kamara becomes mostly irrelevant. If it’s a split or Kamara is getting it, Etienne is then quite overpriced and Kamara is a great late round RB.
Jaylen Waddle (DEN, WR) has everyone talking at Broncos camp, already looking like Bo Nix's go-to and winning reps against Pat Surtain II.
My take: New team, motivated player, a quarterback coming off a strong sophomore year. A lot to like about Waddle. He’s already risen quite a lot but I wouldn’t be shocked if he touches the 3 / 4 turn. Challenge for me is I like that next tier of WRs ahead of him.
Carson Beck (ARI, QB) will start Thursday's Hall of Fame Game with Jacoby Brissett and the vets sitting, so the rookie gets a full night of live reps on a national stage.
My take: No real take here other than a strong performance in the preseason by Beck will increase the willingness of Cardinals brass to elevate him to starter in the second half of the season.
