Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Ted Hurst III is trending up in fantasy football after a consistent and impressive summer. While Emeka Egbuka (toe), Jalen McMillan (knee), and Tez Johnson (groin) all missed portions of camp due to their injuries, Hurst was consistently available for the duration of the summer. Not only did he stay healthy and get consistent reps, but he also had an impressive performance in training camp and the preseason, during which he caught two passes for 19 yards. Head coach Todd Bowles and quarterback Baker Mayfield have both been outspoken about Hurst's reliability this year, so we wouldn't be surprised to see him take on a significant role this year, despite the fact that the Bucs have a somewhat crowded receiver room. The rookie out of Georgia State currently ranks as the WR83 in RotoBaller's redraft rankings, but we could see him jump into the top 50 by midseason.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) is seeing his fantasy football appeal decline as the regular season gets closer. Charbonnet tore his ACL in the playoffs last year, and the original fantasy outlook was that he'd return to his RB2 form once he recovered, especially after Kenneth Walker III left the team in free agency. Now, though, it's no longer a guarantee that Charbonnet will return to the lead-back role once he's healthy. There are plenty of different running backs expected to audition for the lead-back role in Week 1, and any of those top performers could make a case to remain atop the depth chart for the rest of the season. The early leader in the pack is Jadarian Price, a rookie first-round pick from Notre Dame. He may not be ready for an every-down role right away, but we know he's capable of contributing after he tallied 761 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns at school last year. George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are also expected to carve out significant roles on offense, adding another wrinkle to the backfield when Charbonnet returns. There are a lot of running backs with upside in this backfield, so Charbonnet may end up being more of a low-end RB3/flex once he's healthy. As a result, he has fallen to RB56 in RotoBaller's redraft rankings, and his ADP has slipped to 150.4 (RB49).

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. enjoyed a career resurgence this summer, and he's even boosting his own fantasy stock in deeper leagues. Beckham faced an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster, but he responded with 100% attendance throughout training camp and seven catches for 76 yards in the preseason. Not only did this level of production get him a roster spot, but it could also earn him meaningful volume in the regular season. Beckham strung together three top-seven fantasy finishes to open his career, but he hasn't been fantasy relevant since 2019 with the Cleveland Browns. He's unlikely to crack the fantasy football top 50 receivers this year, especially since the Giants have a crowded receiver room with Malik Nabers, Malachi Fields, Darius Slayton, and Darnell Mooney. However, we wouldn't be surprised to have some occasional WR3/flex appeal in deeper leagues, especially if any of those other pass catchers miss time. As it stands, Beckham is the WR118 in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings. He has an ADP of 262.6, which means he's going undrafted in most leagues.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams didn't play in the preseason, but he generated plenty of buzz because of his performance throughout training camp. Adams has had a dominant camp alongside fellow starting receiver Puka Nacua, as the two continue to form the best one-two punch in the NFL. The veteran is coming off a WR9 finish in PPR leagues. He has been a top-12 wide receiver in each of his last six seasons, as well as a top-14 receiver in nine of his last 10. The great news for Adams is that he plays in an offense where multiple players can thrive. After all, Nacua was the WR1 in PPR leagues last year, and Adams still turned in his best fantasy finish since 2022. We expect that trend to continue in 2026 and for as long as Matthew Stafford remains the Rams' quarterback. For now, the big question is whether Adams will replicate last year's 14 touchdowns on 60 catches, or if he'll come back to the mean and catch more passes with fewer touchdowns. The other note on Adams is that he could spend a portion of the season in the No. 1 receiver role as a potential suspension lingers for Nacua. If that happens, Adams would jump from a low-end WR1 to a high-end WR1. At the moment, he has an ADP of 52.8, which corresponds to the fifth round of fantasy drafts. He's a steal at that current price tag, especially given his nose for the end zone.
