Last season we did our weekly rookie quarterback tracker, but with only one taken in the first round of 2022, we’ve moved onto another highly coveted position. For 2022, we’ll keep track of all six first-round wide receivers and their progress throughout the year. Some of our first-round rookies are already off to the races and contributing heavily to their teams. One exception on the list for at least another couple of weeks is Detroit Lions first-round pick Jameson Williams, from Alabama. Williams tore his ACL in last year’s National Championship game but is on track to make his debut for the Lions this season. Let’s check out this year’s group of rookie first-rounders. Jameson Williams – Lions (out with torn ACL) source: Getty Images With Week 4 officially in the books, Jameson Williams becomes eligible to practice with the team and be removed from the non-football injury list. His injury occurred in college, not the NFL, so it falls under that category. Williams likely won’t be hitting the field for a bit longer, but he has been running for a couple of weeks, and now he’ll be able to participate with the team once he’s ready. So, hang in there, Detroit. Williams’ debut is coming soon. 5. Treylon Burks – Titans source: Getty Images This win was about Tennessee getting Derrick Henry rolling, and roll is exactly what he did. Henry rolled all over the Colts to the tune of 114 yards on the ground. Ryan Tannehill played efficiently and passed for two TDs with no INTs. Neither of those forays into the end zone included Treylon Burks, as he had a relatively quiet afternoon catching two passes for 14 yards. It’s always good to get the win, but as a first-round pick, you also want to ball as much as possible. 4. Drake London – Falcons source: Getty Images While the Falcons won to improve their record to 2-2, Drake London played a minor role, although he was targeted the most by Marcus Mariota. London caught just two of his seven targets and gained 17 yards. Not an impressive outing by any means, but there’s always next week. Speaking of next week, the Falcons travel to Tampa Bay to face one of the better defenses in the NFL. Week 5 might feel like déjà vu against the Buccaneers for London. 3. Garrett Wilson – Jets source: Getty Images The Jets are 2-2 after beating the Steelers, 24-20, in Zach Wilson’s season debut. Garrett Wilson probably wasn’t too happy as he didn’t see as much action as he would’ve liked, catching two passes for 41 yards, although he was targeted six times. Wilson thrived the first few weeks of the season with Joe Flacco under center, throwing the ball all over the field. The Jets’ offensive game plan will probably continue to be much more conservative with Zach Wilson back in the saddle. 2. Jahan Dotson – Commanders source: Getty Images Nobody on the Washington side had a good Sunday getting beat down by Dallas, 25-10. Dotson did what he could, catching three passes for 43 yards and a touchdown. The real story is the fan frustration and some calling for Carson Wentz to be benched. But after completing less than 60 percent of his passes, throwing two interceptions, and the Commanders losing their third straight, that was bound to happen. Despite all the turmoil in Washington, Dotson always seems to find a way to get in the end zone. A third of Dotson’s catches on the season have been TDs. This kid knows how to score. It’s just too bad his QB can’t get him the rock more often. 1. Chris Olave – Saints source: Getty Images The Saints lost again — this time in London — but it was a pretty good day for Chris Olave. Not only did he have the best day of our rookies on this list, but he also led the Saints in receiving with four catches, 67 yards, and a TD. Andy Dalton got the start in place of Jameis Winston, who’s dealing with a back injury. Dalton is no stranger to the QB1 role, but at this point, he’s been a backup for the past few years. Olave looks like he’s cemented himself as a certifiable threat in this Saints passing game, and hopefully, he’ll have Winston back in the lineup to get him the ball downfield soon.

West Ham manager David Moyes has openly ruled out the possibility of Declan Rice leaving the club in the January transfer window. His words at the press conference ahead of his team s Premier League encounter with Brentofrd on Friday were quite clear on that.
There will be no chance Declan leaves in this window, if that s what you re talking about, he said.
Rice s stock has risen to great heights over the last couple of seasons. Still only 23 and a 39-cap international, a regular starter for England under Gareth Southgate, Rice combines formidable physical ability with great understanding of the game and maturity which significantly belies his age. In the past few windows he was heavily linked with Chelsea and Manchester United, and more recently with Liverpool.

Liverpool are expected to bid for Athletic Bilbao duo Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet at the end of the season.
Williams is one of LaLiga s brightest young stars, with the 20-year-old winger having already earned seven senior caps for Spain, including four appearances at the World Cup in Qatar.
Attacking midfielder Sancet, 22, netted a hat-trick in a 4-1 win over Cadiz on Saturday to take his tally of LaLiga goals this season to seven.
Williams in particular received heavy interest during the January transfer window, but Bilbao will reportedly be faced with tough decisions about both players at the conclusion of the campaign.

Jeffrey Schlupp s strike proved decisive as 10-man Crystal Palace defeated Bournemouth 1-0 to rise up to fifth in the Premier League.
Palace s night seemed to be going from bad to worse when, after Mamadou Sakho received a straight red card for a high lunge on Adam Smith in the 20th minute, the Eagles lost Patrick van Aanholt to injury.
But Van Aanholt s replacement Schlupp – who scored in Saturday s 2-0 win at Burnley – was ultimately the difference, as he struck home at the culmination of a fine run in the 76th minute.
Aaron Ramsdale should have done better with Schlupp s shot, though Bournemouth s goalkeeper made a vital stop from James McArthur s long-range effort to keep the Cherries in contention.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wants Kevin De Bruyne to return to the basics to re-discover his best form after a recent dip by his own standards.
The two-time Premier League Player of the Season missed two games recently due to illness and has not been his lively and proactive normal self when on the field.
The Belgian struggled for impact against Newcastle United in Saturday s 2-0 win, turning the ball on occasion, before being replaced near the hour by Bernardo Silva.
De Bruyne had found some form with a brilliant strike in City s 3-0 FA Cup win at Bristol City last week but Guardiola said he had a passive first half.
Kevin, always the standards of Kevin are the sky, Guardiola said.
Everyone knows his level. In one week he has an oppor…

Competition: La Liga
Market: Deportivo La Coruna to beat Levante
Odds:
La Liga is back this weekend with yet another interesting round of games as the competition continues to simmer away nicely. The table has remained incredibly tight which means that a single victory can quite often see a side rise a number of places in the league, and with this in mind, Deportivo La Coruna host Levante on Saturday.
Deportivo La Coruna have been struggling massively this season and they are in real danger of being relegated this campaign. After 20 games they have won four, drawn four and lost 12, while they have scored 22 goals and conceded 44 times. In their last five they have only managed to draw once, losing the other four. This has seen the side onto 16 …

This is a high stakes game, he told reporters.
That Spain game wasn t make or break but because we won and kept a clean sheet it turned into a massive positive.

Freddie Ljungberg identified belief as the key to a turnaround that ended a seven-game Premier League winless run for Arsenal after they beat West Ham 3-1.
With Ljungberg having overseen a draw with Norwich City and a home defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion in his first two games since replacing Unai Emery on an interim basis, it looked as if he was set for further disappointment when Angelo Ogbonna put West Ham ahead in the 38th minute.
Arsenal lost Hector Bellerin in the warm-up on Monday and Kieran Tierney suffered a shoulder injury in the first half, but the Gunners bounced back from those setbacks and a lifeless first-half display to get back to winning ways against their London rivals.

Lucien Favre saluted goalkeeper Roman Burki and the rest of his squad after Borussia Dortmund squeezed through to the Champions League s last 16.

Tomas Soucek cancelled out Jadon Sancho s opener before Julian Brandt restored the Bundesliga side s lead just after the hour.
