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.

Karim Benzema has hinted this could be his best season in a Real Madrid shirt, following his side s knockout win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
The talismanic Benzema scored a hat-trick in Madrid s epic comeback from a two-goal aggregate deficit, which meant he surpassed Alfredo di Stefano as the club s third-highest goalscorer with his total of 309, including 67 Champions League goals – now ahead of Raul.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard expects incredible Gareth Bale to give Tottenham a major boost if he secures a return to the Premier League club.
Bale left Spurs for Real Madrid in 2013 for a then-world record fee of €100milion (£85m) and he went on to enjoy huge success in Spain.

According to a recent report from Tuttosport, former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has travelled to Milan as rumours run wild that he could be in line to take over as Inter Milan’s new manger.

“I was playing for a club (Al Mokawloon) in the middle of the table in Egypt but I said to him ‘I want to play at the Nou Camp in Barcelona’.
“I swear to you, he just walked off and didn’t continue the interview with me, no thank you, no goodbye or anything, he just walked off.
“My friend said ‘look where you are. Look where you are in the middle of the table in Egypt, how are you going to get to one of the best teams in the world’?

In what was a heavyweight Premier League showdown on Saturday evening, Manchester City dropped a pair of costly points as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Chelsea.
While Pep Guardiola’s men might have been looking to make a major statement here and extend on their 11-match winning run, the Sky Blues were outplayed for large spells on home soil.
With the Etihad left stunned just three minutes before the half-time break as former City superstar Raheem Sterling produced a slick finish, the defending champions failed to find much fluidity.
However, while Rodri might have eventually powered home in the final few minutes as City snatched a late point, there is no doubt that Guardiola’s men missed out on a real opportunity.
