Mike Williams is dealing with a shoulder injury.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, it is not believed to be a serious injury, but Williams will undergo tests. Assuming he is fine, the big-bodied wideout looks like a strong value going outside the top 40 at the position largely due to his touchdown upside.

Latimer is currently on the Commissioner’s Exempt list, and he’ll likely remain unsigned until his off-field situation shakes out.

The 2019 fifth-round pick played in nine games for Carolina before landing on injured reserve last season. Scarlett shouldn’t have much trouble finding a new landing spot.

John Ross is back with the Bengals.

Ross is set to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list if he hasn’t been already, as he’s on the field with his teammates for today’s practice. The Bengals have a very deep receiving corps, and Ross is trying to secure a big role as a mainstay in three receivers sets with A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd.

The Colts waived/injured Ian Bunting.

The 2019 undrafted tight end will now hit waivers, but he will revert back to Indianapolis’ injured reserve if he goes unclaimed. For now, Bunting is off the fantasy radar.

The Raiders are signing Theo Riddick.

Riddick missed all of last season with the Broncos because of a shoulder injury, and he finally finds a new landing spot in Las Vegas. The Raiders have an intriguing running back group and they already added (then quickly cut) Jeremy Hill earlier this summer, so Riddick will have to earn a roster spot in the next few weeks.
