Struggling Patriots WR issues strong three-word statement before camp
With 12 receivers currently on the Patriots' roster, there are no guarantees that Baker will earn a spot on the team. He only had one catch for 12 yards in 2024, and that lone catch came against the Buffalo Bills in the regular season finale.

The competition at wide receiver will be much stiffer this time out with the additions of Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III in the offseason. Baker will need a strong camp to convince the Patriots to keep him on the roster.
"This [expletive] personal," Baker posted to his Instagram story in a video of his offseason workout.
Baker appears to be heading into training camp with a clear focus on playing up to his full potential. He has shown flashes of that potential as a breakout receiving talent, but he has lacked consistency on the field.
The hope is that he matures into an explosive playmaker for the Patriots outside of the numbers. That might be the only chance he has of sticking on the 53-man roster at this point.

2025 Fantasy Football Tight End Preview: The Big 3, and everyone else
At tight end in 2025, there's a clear dividing line. George Kittle, Brock Bowers and Trey McBride aren't just the top three on my board — they're in their own tier, a category reserved for players who project as the unquestioned No. 1 target earners of their offenses. People will debate which one should be ranked first, but the reality is they're all true TE1s. If you land any of them, you're drafting the focal point of an NFL passing game. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] McBride led all tight ends with a 29.3% target share and topped the position in expected fantasy points per game (19.2), turning that into 111 receptions, 1,146 yards and 15.6 fantasy points per game — second-best at the position. Bowers commanded a position-leading 153 targets, finishing first in receptions (112), yards (1,194) and yards after the catch (596), while matching McBride's fantasy output at 15.5 points per game. His ability to create downfield separation (2.09 yards) and post a 27.8% dominator rating as a rookie is absurd. Kittle continues to be the model of efficiency — first in yards per route run (3.10), yards per target (11.8) and yards per reception (14.2) — and matched the others in production at 15.8 points per game. His eight touchdowns tied for second among tight ends, and his 2.33 yards per team pass attempt was also best at the position. These are your 'Big 3' — whichever one you land, you're drafting a player with a locked-in role, elite metrics and weekly difference-making upside. RayG's Top 24 Fantasy Tight Ends for 2025 George Kittle Brock Bowers Trey McBride Travis Kelce TJ Hockenson Mark Andrews Sam LaPorta Evan Engram Tucker Kraft David Njoku Tyler Warren Dallas Goedert Jake Ferguson Dalton Kincaid Zach Ertz Hunter Henry Jonnu Smith Brenton Strange Kyle Pitts Sr. Colston Loveland Mike Gesicki Dalton Schultz Ja'Tavion Sanders Mason Taylor Preferred Draft Strategy My plan at tight end is simple — I'm chasing elite outcomes. The players whose offenses run through them. The guys who can give you 20 points in any given week and finish as the WR1 in their own offense. If I get Kittle, Bowers or McBride, I'm locking them in as my starter every week, only sitting them for their bye. If I don't land one of those top options, I pivot to cost-conscious plays with paths to volume. In that middle TE8–TE16 range, I'll take small bites but rarely go heavy-exposure. At that point, I'd rather throw late darts on players who can massively outperform ADP and give me a streaming edge. [Subscribe to Yahoo Fantasy Plus and unlock Instant Mock Drafts today] 3 Tight Ends I'm Targeting at Cost Tyler Warren, Colts – Rookie tight ends rarely deliver right away (Bowers and LaPorta bucked that trend), but Warren steps into a clear role in a shallow target tree. Indianapolis will play conservatively, and Warren's athleticism plus early opportunity make him worth the shot at his price. Hunter Henry, Patriots – While the focus in New England is on Drake Maye's young wide receivers, Henry remains the constant. He ranked top 10 in air yards share (19.2%), red-zone targets (18) and expected fantasy points per game (12.2). At cost, he's one of the few tight ends outside the elite tier who can realistically lead his team in touchdowns. Ja'Tavion Sanders, Panthers – Bryce Young needs middle-of-the-field weapons, and Sanders' second-year jump could be real. Practically free, with room to grow into a key target-earner. Sleepers to Watch Elijah Arroyo, Seahawks – Seattle's rookie from Miami is one of the best downfield weapons in the 2025 tight end class. Right now, his path to fantasy relevance may only require beating out AJ Barner for the starting job. In an offense with Cooper Kupp underneath and Jaxon Smith-Njigba stretching the field across multiple formations, Arroyo could carve out chunk plays as soon as Year 1. Tyler Conklin, Chargers – Conklin isn't going to break fantasy scoring records, but in deep formats he's a free square for a steady floor. The Chargers will be without LT Rashawn Slater, meaning quick throws to safety valves like Conklin could be a bigger part of Justin Herbert's plan. With Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey commanding coverage, Conklin should see favorable 1-on-1s — a solid waiver-wire TE who won't give you a zero. Zach Ertz, Commanders – A 34-year-old veteran with little dynasty appeal but sneaky 2025 value. With Terry McLaurin's status in Washington up in the air, Ertz steps in as Jayden Daniels' likely security blanket. His ability to find soft spots in coverage makes him a high-floor streaming option who could easily outproduce ADP. 1 Fade at Cost Sam LaPorta, Lions – I love the talent, but he's coming off the board as TE4 in most drafts — three spots ahead of my ranking. We don't know what Detroit's offense will look like under new leadership, and paying elite capital for a player in a changing system is a bet I'm not willing to make right now. Final Word If you're going to spend up, spend for the ceiling. The safest path is securing one of the top three and walking away from the position until bye week. If you miss, attack the late rounds with upside swings — because the gap between TE12 and TE24 isn't as wide as most think.

West Virginia athletic department agrees to partnership with local mulch company
On the same day Kansas received a record-breaking $300 million donation, one of the Jayhawks' Big 12 counterparts secured a deal of its own. West Virginia has agreed to a multi-year partnership with Grant County Mulch that makes the company the official mulch supplier of the Mountaineers' athletic department, the university announced August 13. Based in Petersburg, West Virginia, about 90 miles southeast of West Virginia's Morgantown campus, Grant County Mulch is the largest bulk mulch supplier in the country, according to the Mountaineers' release. REQUIRED READING: Kansas receives record-setting $300 million gift from donor David Booth As part of the newly inked and undeniably unique agreement — after all, how many colleges have an official mulch supplier? — Grant County Mulch will be racing a West Virginia-themed truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Richmond Raceway in Virginia on August 15. The truck is owned by CR7 Motorsports and will be driven by Grant Enfinger. Beyond the company's logo being displayed on LED boards at football and basketball games, as well as on the outfield wall at baseball games, the Mountaineers' post-game radio show for football and men's basketball will award a 'Tough as Mulch' player of the game. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. "Both of us — and our parents — were born and raised in West Virginia, so this partnership means more than business to us," Larry and Janie Berg, founders of Grant County Mulch, said in a statement. "It's about honoring our roots, supporting our home state, and being part of something that represents the pride and spirit of West Virginians everywhere."

Report: Roger Goodell tells ESPN employees the NFL won't get involved with journalism
Pending regulatory approval (which seems to be hardly a given), the NFL eventually will own 10 percent of ESPN. That dynamic has raised obvious concerns that the NFL will parlay its partial ownership into the potential airing of grievances about ESPN's coverage of the league. As a result, the powers-that-be are trying to ease the worries of ESPN reporters and analysts who fear being micromanaged by The Shield. Most recently, that resulted in (according to Commissioner Roger Goodell communicating with ESPN employees at a town-hall meeting via a recorded message. Per the report, "Goodell emphasized to ESPN employees that the league would not get involved in the network's journalism." We have three points to make in response to that contention. First, what else is he going to say? "You'd better watch out?" It's a very real concern that the NFL will try to impose upon ESPN the same degree of conscious self-editing that NFL Network reporters and analysts have exercised for years. Second, it would be different if the NFL didn't already have a habit of complaining to broadcast partners about things said and written by their reporters and analysts. It absolutely happens. (And it may happen today, as a result of me pointing out that it absolutely happens.) The league surely has complained to ESPN at some point in the past about something that ended up on ESPN Radio, or any of the various ESPN networks. And that was before the league owned a piece of the business. It's naive to think the NFL will say nothing if/when someone on the ESPN payroll says something that someone at the league office doesn't like. Third, Jim Trotter. So while the league may not "get involved in the network's journalism," the league will surely have something to say in the aftermath of the exercise of it. Especially when it's time to renew the contracts of people who have a history of covering stories the league doesn't like and/or posing questions to the Commissioner that he doesn't appreciate. At a time when it's more important than ever to speak truth to power, this has all the earmarks of yet another situation where power will end up being spoken to truth. Not immediately. Not obviously. But inevitably.
