According to Nick Wojton of USA TODAY, Coleman "had some big efforts" during team drills at the Bills' recent minicamp.

Per Wojton, Coleman, whose fantasy impact has been modest since being drafted in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, was able to take advantage of Joshua Palmer (ankle) missing time at Buffalo's minicamp. As the coming season approaches, DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir top the Bills' WR depth chart, but as Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic previously noted, the team likely wants Coleman to seize the WR3 role in his third season. To do that, however, he'll have to outperform Palmer, Tyrell Shavers (knee) and rookie fourth-rounder Skyler Bell this summer.

Brown enters training camp competing for a role in Philadelphia's wide receiver rotation following the team's trade of A.J. Brown to the Patriots, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.

Brown signed with the Eagles early in free agency and now finds himself competing for opportunities in a reshaped receiving corps. DeVonta Smith is entrenched as the team's No. 1 wideout, while rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon and tight end Dallas Goedert also stand to benefit from the departure of A.J. Brown. Brown's experience and ability to stretch the field could help him carve out a role, though he faces competition from Dontayvion Wicks and Elijah Moore as training camp approaches. The 29-year-old put up a 49-587-5 line (on 74 targets) across 16 regular-season appearances with the Chiefs in 2025.

Wicks will enter training camp competing for a key role in Philadelphia's receiving corps following the team's trade of A.J. Brown, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.

Wicks was acquired by the Eagles via a trade with Green Bay before Brown's departure, and he signed a new one-year, $12.5 million contract upon arrival. With Brown gone, DeVonta Smith remains the clear No. 1 receiver, while rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon (hamstring) and tight end Dallas Goedert are strong candidates to absorb additional targets. Still, Wicks' versatility has drawn attention, with head coach Nick Sirianni comparing him to Keenan Allen during mandatory minicamp. The 25-year-old could emerge as the favorite for the No. 3 receiver role over Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore if he continues to impress and develops chemistry with Jalen Hurts during training camp.

Corum remains positioned atop the running back depth chart alongside starter Kyren Williams following the Rams' offseason program, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Corum, a 2024 third-round pick, did little as a rookie but carved out a notable role in 2025. While suiting up for all 17 regular-season games last year, Corum rushed 145 times for 746 yards and six touchdowns. He remained a limited contributor as a receiver, however, totaling just eight catches for 36 yards. Corum is arguably the most explosive runner in Los Angeles' backfield, but Williams remains entrenched as the lead option due to his three-down skill set. Even in a complementary role, Corum projects to remain productive and would carry significant upside if an opportunity for a larger workload emerged.

Monangai remains positioned for a key complementary role behind D'Andre Swift as training camp approaches, Mike Moraitis of SI.com reports.

Monangai impressed out of the gate as a rookie seventh-round pick in 2025, beating out Roschon Johnson for the No. 2 running back role and carving out a steady workload alongside Swift. He finished with 783 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 169 carries while adding 18 catches for 164 yards across 17 regular-season games. Though he lacks Swift's explosiveness and receiving ability, Monangai is a natural runner who fits Ben Johnson's scheme well. He would inherit a valuable workload if Swift were to miss any time in 2026.

Swift remains positioned atop Chicago's backfield alongside Kyle Monangai as training camp approaches, Mike Moraitis of SI.com reports.

Swift offers more explosiveness and pass-catching ability than Monangai, though both backs are expected to play significant roles in coach Ben Johnson's offense behind Chicago's revamped offensive line. Across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025, Swift rushed 223 times for 1,087 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns while adding 34 catches for 299 yards and another score on 48 targets. The 27-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract with the Bears.

Following the Rams' offseason program, Williams and Blake Corum remain atop the RB depth chart, as was the case last season, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

During the 2025 regular season, Williams carried 259 times for 1,252 yards and 10 rushing TDs while adding 36 catches for 281 yards and three receiving scores in 17 games. In that same span, Corum rushed for 746 yards (on 145 carries) and six TDs and caught eight passes for 36 yards in his second campaign as a pro. Looking ahead, that 1-2 punch, which paced the league's No. 7 rushing attack last season, is intact for 2026, which sets Williams up for another year of fantasy utility. Beyond the Rams' top duo, Ronnie Rivers is back as the team's RB3, while Jarquez Hunter, Jordan Waters and Dean Connors round out the backfield depth chart ahead of training camp.

While Schultz remains the Texans' top tight end ahead of training camp, Jared Koch of SI.com notes that slotting beyond Schultz has yet to be determined.

That said, following the team's mandatory minicamp earlier this month, Koch suggests that at this stage a "fair order" after Schultz could go as follows: Foster Moreau, Brevin Jordan (knee) and Marlin Klein (hamstring). During the 2025 regular season, Schultz set career highs in catches (82) and targets (106) en route to logging 777 receiving yards and three TDs in 17 games. As a dependable chain-mover in Houston's offense for QB C.J. Stroud, Schultz -- who has played a full slate in each of the last two years -- will remain on the fantasy lineup radar in 2026.

Higgins has consistently drawn praise throughout spring activities as the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Nico Collins, Jared Koch of SI.com reports.

The No. 34 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft posted a 41-525-6 receiving line on 68 targets across 17 games as a rookie and appears positioned for a Year 2 leap. Koch reports that Higgins stands as the clear No. 2 receiver on Houston's depth chart ahead of training camp, a role that could benefit from the team's upgraded offensive line and the departure of Christian Kirk to San Francisco. Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel remain in the mix behind Collins and Higgins, while Tank Dell (knee) is expected to return at some point during the 2026 season.

Ahead of training camp, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Williams and Isaac TeSlaa are projected as the Lions' starting wide receivers, Christian Boohe of SI.com reports.

While St. Brown and Williams will be reprising their key pass-catching roles in 2026, TeSlaa figures to see an uptick in volume in his second pro campaign. Though St. Brown is entrenched as Detroit's clear-cut WR1, Williams will have ample opportunity in his fifth campaign as a pro to make a mark from a fantasy perspective. The 2022 first-rounder is coming off a 2025 regular-season in which he recorded career-highs in catches (65), targets (102) and receiving yards (1,117) en route to notching seven TDs in 17 games.
