  • Elijah Moore WR | PHI

    Jets' Elijah Moore: Will play at least one quarter

    Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Moore, along with the rest of the offensive starters, will play at least one quarter during Sunday's preseason finale, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    It'll be a chance for Moore to get additional reps with quarterback Joe Flacco, who likely will start Week 1 against Baltimore with Zach Wilson (knee) sidelined following surgery. While rookie first-round pick Garrett Wilson has shown flashes during training camp, Moore still is expected to be the Jets' No. 1 wideout heading into the regular season.

  • Isaiah Coulter WR | BUF

    Bears' Isaiah Coulter: Another three-catch outing

    Coulter caught all three of his targets for 61 yards in the Bears' 21-20 win against the Browns on Saturday.

    Although Coulter caught his first pass with the second-string offense, he caught his 37-yard pass with the deep reserves in the fourth quarter. He caught three passes in each of the last two games, as he hopes his production will result in him making the regular-season roster.

  • Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: First catch of preseason

    St. Brown hauled in an 18-yard reception in the Bears' 21-20 win against the Browns on Saturday.

    With Velus Jones (undisclosed) and Byron Pringle (quadriceps) unavailable to play, St. Brown played with the Bears' starters. Although he caught just one pass this preseason, reports on him have been positive throughout camp. It would seem that he has a strong chance of earning a spot on the regular-season roster.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    Bears' Dante Pettis: Finds end zone

    Pettis caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 21-20 win against the Browns on Saturday.

    With Byron Pringle (quadriceps) and Velus Jones (undisclosed) sitting out, Pettis played mostly with the first-string offense. On two of his receptions, including his touchdown, he worked his way across the field in the direction Justin Fields was rolling out, showing clear chemistry with his quarterback. Pettis has been battling for a roster spot during camp, and his preseason performance may give the organization plenty of reason to keep him on the regular-season roster.

  • Browns' Anthony Schwartz: Uninspiring in finale

    Schwartz caught one of six targets for eight yards in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears.

    Schwartz is a lock to make the roster, but his preseason production doesn't engender much hope for him as a fantasy asset. Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reported Schwartz had at least two drops among the five balls he didn't catch Saturday, which prompted boos from the Browns fans at FirstEnergy Stadium. Schwartz has five drops over three preseason contests. At this point, Cleveland's wideout corps consists of Amari Cooper and a bunch of question marks.

  • David Bell WR | CLE

    Browns' David Bell: Builds off debut

    Bell caught all three targets for 36 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears.

    Bell followed up a productive preseason debut last week (three catches, 46 yards) with another promising effort. It looks even better when compared to Cleveland's other receivers vying for spots behind unquestioned No. 1 Amari Cooper. Donovan Peoples-Jones caught one of three targets for four yards, while Anthony Schwartz's rocky preseason continued (one catch on six targets, two drops, eight yards). Bell is expected to start as a slot receiver but eventually could move into an outside role.

  • Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Stars in preseason finale

    Robinson caught four of six targets for 135 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason finale against Washington.

    Recently released by Kansas City, the 27-year-old wideout made his case for a roster spot in Baltimore with two long gains on double moves. Both were arguably bad defense rather than great route running, but it at least keeps Robinson in the mix for a roster spot on a team that has one of the weakest WR depth charts in the league.

  • Dyami Brown WR | WAS

    Commanders' Dyami Brown: Drops two passes

    Brown caught two of five targets for 42 yards in Saturday's 17-15 loss to Baltimore in the preseason finale.

    Brown made a nice snag on his first target but then dropped a couple passes. It's not a great sign, in any case, that he was on the field in a game where all starters were rested. The 2021 third-round pick likely has a roster spot, but only as the fourth or fifth receiver in an offense without much potential.

  • Kyle Philips WR | LV

    Titans' Kyle Philips: Starts final preseason game

    Philips did not record a reception or target in Saturday's 26-23 preseason win over Arizona.

    Philips started the game in a three-receiver set alongside Treylon Burks and Robert Woods. Philips didn't record any statistics but also served as the punt returner early in the game. Philips may give way to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine early in the season for offensive snaps, but he has impressed during training camp and will have the chance to showcase his talent on special teams.

  • Vikings' Ihmir Smith-Marsette: Paces pass catchers in loss

    Smith-Marsette brought in all three targets for 63 yards and returned one punt for 21 yards in the Vikings' 23-13 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.

    Smith-Marsette's performance was encouraging under any circumstance, but even more so with fellow wideouts Bisi Johnson (knee) and Jalen Nailor (concussion) both exiting the game with injuries. Smith-Marsette also redeemed himself as a returner after a poor showing in that regard in last Saturday's loss to the 49ers, and he appears set to open the season in a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver role in addition to primary punt-return duties.
