Bears | D'Andre Swift exits practice early with apparent injury Thu Sep 3, 06:25 PM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift exited Thursday's practice with an apparent injury. He left toward the end of practice during a full team period. After carrying the ball on a first-and-10 from the offense's own 1-yard line, Swift came off the field apparently holding at his midsection or core area.
| Footballguys view: The Bears had both Swift and WR Rome Odunze get banged up in Thursday's practice. While Odunze's injury may be minor, we're also uncertain about Swift's injury. Backup Kyle Monangai is week-to-week with a knee injury, but most expect him to be ready for Week 1. If Swift has to miss time, Monangai could be an RB2 option for Fantasy GMs (if he in fact is healthy and ready to play) out there. Stay tuned. |

Bears | WR Rome Odunze leaves practice early Thu Sep 3, 06:23 PM
Bears WR Rome Odunze left Thursday's practice early after he came up hobbling during an install period at the start of practice. Looked like his right leg. He wasn't overly concerned -- he tried to stay in -- but trainers pulled him off.
| Footballguys view: It seems like this could be a minor injury, but we'll wait to see if we get more information. His 2025 foot injury is not something Odunze even thinks about any more, but it's something to monitor. Again, this seems minor but it just happened and we're all waiting to get more news out of the Bears' facility. |

Seahawks | TE Barner to do more than expected? Thu Sep 3, 06:17 PM
Andrew Destin, from The Athletic, reports Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner will likely see an uptick in production, as should backup TE Elijah Arroyo this year.
| Footballguys view: As the article notes, new Seahawks OC Brian Fleury worked as the TE coach with the 49ers for four seasons, and the position could be featured more than some think. Barner had multiple offseason surgeries, but he's healthy now and ready to build on his 2025 career-best numbers of 52 catches for 519 yards and six touchdowns. He's a low-end TE2 in non-PPR formats, but the upside is there for Barner to work into more of a high-end TE2 this season. |

49ers | TE Kittle on a snap count Week 1? Thu Sep 3, 06:12 PM
Matt Barrows, from The Athletic, reports he is sure San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) won't be on the field for his usual 95 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1 against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: Kittle is coming back from the Achilles' injury that cut short his 2025 season. He did travel to Australia with the team as they prepare for the Week 1 divisional matchup. Kittle might be eased into action, and that means a snap count could be coming. Even with limited snaps, Kittle could have some high-value targets/touches and that puts him in the low-end TE1 range for fantasy purposes. |

Seahawks | How will RB touches be split between Price and Holani? Thu Sep 3, 06:05 PM
Andrew Destin, from The Athletic, suggests the Seattle Seahawks will feature rookie RB Jadarian Price on early downs while RB George Holani plays the third-down, short-yardage and goal-line roles.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are trying to navigate this early-season split for the Seahawks running backs. Zach Charbonnet (PUP, knee) will return later this year from injury, but to begin the season we'll see both Price and Holani featured in different ways. We see Price and Holani as RB3/flex plays with their current roles. |

Patriots | RB TreVeyon Henderson continues to miss practice Thu Sep 3, 04:39 PM
Per multiple reports from Patriots practice on Thursday, running back TreVeyon Henderson remained off the field. Henderson has not practiced since hurting his ankle during practice on August 24.
| Footballguys view: With only three practices remaining before their Week 1 opener against the Seahawks, Henderson is trending in the wrong direction. Even though reporters have suggested that Henderson will be ready for Week 1, we need to see his practice status next week before sharing that same confidence. Rhamondre Stevenson could be in for a big workload next Wednesday night. |

Colts | Alec Pierce completes first full practice Thu Sep 3, 04:07 PM
After an injection days after the end of the 2025 season, followed by surgery that came with a four-to-six-month recovery process, WR Alec Pierce completed his first full practice of the offseason Thursday.
| Footballguys view: As planned, Pierce is on track to play in Week 1. He signed a big contract extension in the spring, but then Pierce had to miss offseason work and training camp due to ankle surgery. Since he's missed so much time, it makes sense for the Colts to ease him into the game - perhaps on a snap count to begin the season. As the Colts no.1 receiver, Fantasy GMs can trust Pierce as a big-play WR3/flex. |

49ers | Plans to play Stribling at slot receiver? Thu Sep 3, 03:54 PM
Matt Barrows of The Athletic thinks the 49ers' plan at wide receiver is for #33 overall pick De'Zhaun Stribling will open the season as the starting slot receiver and "understudy" to Mike Evans at X, with Deebo Samuel at Z.
| Footballguys view: Stribling can move all over the formation, but having him as a 'power' slot makes a lot of sense. He can study the X position behind one of the best to ever play in Evans, but the rookie can also get on the field in 3-wide formations. We like the idea of Stribling playing as a deep flex play for Fantasy GMs to begin the 2026 season. |
Ravens | Zay Flowers back in practice; on track for Week 1 Thu Sep 3, 02:38 PM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers is practicing for the first time in two weeks. Flowers (undisclosed injury) hasn't practiced since the joint practices in Minnesota on Aug. 20. It looks like Lamar Jackson's favorite target is set for the Sept. 13 season opener.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens take on the Colts in Week 1, and Flowers should be good to go. He's had a couple of various injuries since training camp started, including a quad bruise and now this undisclosed lower body injury. With Flowers out there this soon, he's set to participate more in practice next week. He's a WR2 with upside for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo considered retirement after injury Thu Sep 3, 02:37 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo said he considered retiring a month after his 2025 season-ending ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: It's a bit of an alarming statement for a player with one pro season (and not even a full one) under his belt. Skattebo suffered a serious ankle injury as a rookie, but he's rehabbed and now is ready for Week 1. The Giants added veteran RB Najee Harris, but Skattebo should be the featured back so long as he's healthy. That makes him an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Cardinals | Michael Wilson signs three-year, $75 million extension Thu Sep 3, 02:34 PM
The Cardinals and WR Michael Wilson have agreed on a three-year, $75 million deal with $47 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: Instead of playing on the final year of his rookie contract, Wilson gets a big-money deal from the Cardinals. It's a wise move for an ascending player who should continue to develop as a playmaker in this league. After two 500-yard seasons to begin his career, Wilson exploded in 2025 with 78 catches for 1006 yards and seven touchdowns. He's a WR4/flex play with upside for Fantasy GMs this year. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. will eventually be the starter Thu Sep 3, 12:49 PM
According to NFL Network insider Cameron Wolfe, the Falcons plan for Michael Penix Jr. (knee) to start "eventually" this season, but head coach Kevin Stefanski has yet to decide whether Penix or Tua Tagovailoa will start Week 1 in Pittsburgh.
| Footballguys view: Will he eventually be good? The Falcons need to find out if Penix can be a reliable starter as soon as possible. Tagovailoa has been mostly terrible in camp and the preseason, so Falcons fans can't wait for Penix to get out there. However, Penix has struggled when healthy so far in his young pro career. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson Sr. will be the backup QB Thu Sep 3, 12:34 PM
Colts HC Shane Steichen announces that Anthony Richardson Sr. will be their No. 2 QB behind Daniel Jones to start the season.
| Footballguys view: Richardson, a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, was supposed to be the team's franchise quarterback. Instead, he's going to be a backup and continue to try and develop his game behind Jones. While he doesn't have much value in redraft formats, Fantasy GMs in dynasty leagues can hold out some hope. |

Cardinals | Michael Wilson agrees to three-year extension Thu Sep 3, 11:35 AM
The Cardinals reached agreement Wednesday with standout WR Michael Wilson on a three-year extension that keeps him in Arizona through the 2029 season, per ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapaport. Wilson is expected to sign the deal today.

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. to have a role this season Thu Sep 3, 11:27 AM
According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Mike Washington Jr. is going to "be a weapon in Las Vegas." Even after Ashton Jeanty returns from his sprained ankle, Rapoport said Washington will "be a thing this year. Not just in real football, but in fantasy football."
| Footballguys view: Washington has been phenomenal this preseason. He's big, fast, and physical - and the rookie has flashed so much in camp that the team wants to get him involved. Even if Jeanty is at full strength, the Raiders should give him a breather from time to time by featuring Washington. He did have a bad fumbling and drop problem in college, so Washington has to clean that up if he's going to play up to his potential in the pros. |

Packers | MarShawn Lloyd ready and eager to carry the load Thu Sep 3, 11:13 AM
The NFL's decision to put running back Josh Jacobs on paid leave has opened a big door for MarShawn Lloyd in Green Bay. Lloyd enters the season as the Packers' No. 1 back, and it's unclear when Jacobs will be back in the picture for the NFC North team, so the 2024 third-round pick will have a chance to make his case for an even longer run in the job. "I'm ready to play as much as they want me to play," Lloyd said. "I'm excited. It's a dream come true playing for the Packers, so however much carries I get, however much they put me in the game, I'm ready to go."
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are excited about Lloyd's upside in the Packers' offense. Jacobs' time on the exempt list has to be seen as indefinite at this time. That means Lloyd is going to get a big opportunity, and if he's finally healthy it could pay off. To begin the regular season, Fantasy GMs should consider Lloyd an RB2 with upside. |

Ravens | No timetable on possible discipline for Rashod Bateman Thu Sep 3, 11:07 AM
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman was arrested in June after allegedly breaking the windshield and windows of a car with his child and the child's mother inside, but he was not placed on paid leave by the NFL ahead of the cut to 53 players last weekend. That leaves Bateman available to the Ravens as the league's investigation into the matter plays out. On Wednesday, Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta said that he doesn't know the timeline for that process. "In these matters we just kind of sit back and wait for the league and the authorities to tell us what's going on," DeCosta said. "I have no indication how long that's going to take."
| Footballguys view: After a 45-catch season in 2024, Bateman had a disappointing 2025 with only 19 catches for 224 yards and two touchdowns. Currently, Bateman is not suspended although that still may be coming upon further investigation. The Ravens are looking for another weapon to go along with Zay Flowers, and guys like Ja'Kobi Lane/Devontez Walker would do more if Bateman has to miss time. |

49ers | DE Bosa says he will play Week 1 Wed Sep 2, 07:04 PM
San Francisco 49ers DE Nick Bosa (knee) said he is confident he will play in Week 1 against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: Bosa tore his ACL a year ago in Week 3, and he's been working his way back ever since then. He's returned to practice this week as the 49ers prepare for their game against the Rams in Australia next Thursday night. |

Steelers | QB Rodgers praises WR Wilson Wed Sep 2, 06:55 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers said WR Roman Wilson had a 'fantastic camp.' Rodgers went out of his way to say that Wilson would have to play a large role for his team.
| Footballguys view: The veteran quarterback expressed the utmost confidence in the third-year wideout. Wilson has only played in 14 games over the last two seasons, and he's flashed just a bit (12 catches, 166 yards, one touchdown). He's a run-after-the-catch specialist who has won the no.3 spot in Pittsburgh behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. Second-round rookie WR Germie Bernard could push Wilson for that spot during the season. |
Roman Wilson player page
Jaguars | WR Meyers back at practice Wednesday Wed Sep 2, 06:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars HC Liam Coen said WR Jakobi Meyers (thumb) returned to practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: There's no word as to whether or not Meyers is still wearing the brace on his hand due to this thumb injury. The team is easing Meyers back into action as they prepare for Week 1 against the Browns. Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr will work ahead of Meyers in the pecking order. However, Meyers could be a deep flex play to begin the regular season. |
Jakobi Meyers player page
Browns | WR Bond not practicing Wednesday Wed Sep 2, 06:46 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this week, Browns HC Todd Monken said Bond had cleared the league's concussion protocol. The team is being cautious with Bond, so he may not be cleared (again?) in time for Week 1. Jerry Jeudy, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston will get more work against the Jaguars. |

Bills | Optimism about Shakir's Week 1 status Wed Sep 2, 06:42 PM
Matt Zenitz, from CBS Sports, reports "there's currently optimism" from the Bills that Khalil Shakir will play in Week 1 against the Texans.
| Footballguys view: The team has been quite cautious with Shakir as he deals with this undisclosed injury. Next week, the team will be preparing for their Week 1 matchup against the Texans. We'll know more about Shakir's status at that time...and they'll have to disclose what the injury is. |

Ravens | GM optimistic about QB Jackson's contract extension Wed Sep 2, 06:38 PM
Baltimore Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said he is "optimistic" about reaching a contract extension with QB Lamar Jackson.
| Footballguys view: In fact, DeCosta said he would like to get a deal done sooner rather than later. With two years left on his deal, it would benefit Jackson and the Ravens to get something finished. There's not really a time crunch, but we could see something happening here before the start of the new league year. |
Jaguars | RB Allen may not play in Week 1 Wed Sep 2, 04:34 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars HC Liam Coen said he would be "pleasantly surprised" if RB LeQuint Allen Jr. (soft tissue) played in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Allen is a player we appreciate in deep dynasty formats, but he has little value right now in redraft leagues. Bhayshul Tuten is the lead back, but Chris Rodriguez might get more work because of his ability to protect the quarterback. That makes Tuten more of a flex play, especially in non-PPR leagues, as he may not get as much work on passing downs if the team doesn't trust his pass protection. |
49ers | WR Evans back at practice Wed Sep 2, 04:29 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (adductor) returned to practice Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Evans has not gotten much of a chance to work in the summer due to various injuries (quad, groin/adductor). The 49ers play against the Rams in Australia a week from Thursday to open their season. Evans can be counted on as a flex play for Fantasy GMs with the upside to be a regular WR2 if healthy. |
Mike Evans player page
Buccaneers | WR Egbuka practicing on Wednesday Wed Sep 2, 04:19 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (toe) worked to the side of practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Egbuka is practicing on the side, and that's a start when it comes to this lingering toe injury. We'll see if he can get back out there next week fully participating as the team prepares for their Week 1 game against the Bengals. |

Texans | QB Stroud could be in $50 million club? Wed Sep 2, 04:10 PM
Jeremy Fowler, from ESPN, reports the Houston Texans are "prepared to put C.J. Stroud in what it feels is a strong place among the 12 quarterbacks in the $50 million club."
| Footballguys view: According to the report, Stroud is prepared to play out the season without a new contract. The Texans have made an offer they feel is competitive, but the two sides have yet to reach an agreement - with the regular season less than two weeks away. Stroud has had a good training camp, but last season's struggles are something he'll need to overcome this year. Texans GM Nick Caserio placed a deadline of Week 1 to get a new contract done. Stay tuned. |

Cardinals | Team attempted to sign WR Wilson to contract extension Wed Sep 2, 04:07 PM
Jeremy Fowler, from ESPN, reports the Arizona Cardinals have "attempted"st to sign Michael Wilson to a contract extension.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is coming off a 1,000-yard season in 2025, and he's a playmaker for an offense that needs them badly. We're likely to see Wilson play the 2026 season on the final year of his rookie contract. This means he could be a highly coveted unrestricted free agent in 2027. |
Michael Wilson player page
Raiders | Optimism for RB Jeanty's Week 1 status Wed Sep 2, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders HC Klint Kubiak said he's optimistic Ashton Jeanty (ankle) will play Week 1 against the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders have kept things quiet about the status of Jeanty after his scary injury just a little over a week ago. All Fantasy GMs should be watching the practice status of Jeanty next week. If he has to miss time, the Raiders can turn to rookie RB Mike Washington Jr.. He had a fantastic preseason and training camp - so much so that the team may ease him in more even when Jeanty is fully healthy. Washington may be a 'what the heck' flex when Jeanty plays, and he could produce like an RB2 with upside if given a majority of the workload (if Jeanty has to miss time). |
Raiders | QB Cousins named the starter Week 1 Wed Sep 2, 03:55 PM
Las Vegas Raiders named QB Kirk Cousins as the team's Week 1 starter.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Fernando Mendoza, the no.1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, will likely take over sometime later this season (when the Raiders are out of contention or sooner). Cousins is a seasoned veteran who knows the Kubiak (Shanahan) system like the back of his hand (he came up under Mike Shanahan in Washington years ago). From a fantasy perspective, Cousins is likely to perform like a QB2. |
Kirk Cousins player page
Vikings | QB McCarthy should be on the Week 1 roster Wed Sep 2, 03:50 PM
Minnesota Vikings GM Nolan Teasley said he expects J.J. McCarthy to be on the Week 1 roster.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy missed time at the end of the preseason as he dealt with an ankle injury. Carson Wentz is likely the primary backup to Kyler Murray since McCarthy has missed time and was mostly bad in camp and the preseason games he was featured in. Anything can happen, but we just think McCarthy would have benefited from a fresh start elsewhere. He's trending to be one of the biggest busts in recent first-round QB history. |
J.J. McCarthy player page
Panthers | RB Brooks should play Week 1 Wed Sep 2, 03:44 PM
Carolina Panthers HC Dave Canales said he is "very optimistic" RB Jonathon Brooks will play in Week 1 against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Brooks worked to the side at Wednesday's practice. Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard has returned to practice after missing practice for a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury. The plan is for Hubbard and Brooks to split carries this season. That means the fantasy plan should be Hubbard as an RB2/flex and Brooks as a deep flex play to begin the regular season. |

Lions | RB Isiah Pacheco placed on IR; out at least four weeks Tue Sep 1, 04:27 PM
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said last week that he couldn't say anything "definitive" about running back Isiah Pacheco's status for Week 1, but the picture cleared up on Tuesday. The Lions announced that Pacheco has been placed on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: Pacheco dealt with a sprained MCL earlier this summer, but Campbell indicated a back injury is the greater concern at the moment. No matter the main ailment, Pacheco will miss at least four games as a result of Tuesday's move. Jacob Saylors is now in line to be the No. 2 back behind Jahmyr Gibbs for the first month of the season. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins limited in practice; on track for Week 1 Tue Sep 1, 03:21 PM
The Bengals are practicing without their top two wideouts on Tuesday. Reporters at the team's workout shared that neither Ja'Marr Chase nor Tee Higgins is participating. Chase hyperextended his knee during a practice last week, and Higgins is dealing with a heel contusion.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Zac Taylor said at a pre-practice press conference that both wideouts will be limited participants in practice throughout the week, but expressed no concern about their chances of missing the team's Week 1 game against the Buccaneers. Even with the optimistic outlook, fantasy managers need to have these issues on their radar heading into Week 1. |

Giants | Malik Nabers noncommittal, but apparently on track for Week 1 Tue Sep 1, 02:25 PM
Wide receiver Malik Nabers is feeling "real good" less than two weeks before the New York Giants' season opener against the Dallas Cowboys but remains noncommittal about playing Week 1. "I feel pretty good. I feel real good to be honest," Nabers said. "Like I said, you're going to feel good but there's still some things that you're going to have to check off the box for you to participate. So I'm still going through that, still listening to the trainer, still listening to doctors and sharing everything with them."
| Footballguys view: Nabers is coming back from a torn ACL last year and has progressed to full practices throughout the summer. He recently shed the red no-contact jersey he wore throughout camp. Everything seemingly has been trending in a positive direction. While he's not quite prepared to declare himself ready to play the Cowboys, ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan reports the expectation is that he will be playing, barring some setback. The Giants and Nabers have seemingly been gearing up for the Sunday night opener against Dallas on Sept. 13 since the first day of training camp. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs expected to play at some point Tue Sep 1, 09:45 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs, who was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt list, is expected to play at some point in 2026, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
| Footballguys view: Asked if there's a scenario in which the Packers release Jacobs, Gutekunst said, "I think we'll let the process play out before we make any kind of those decisions." The NFL has yet to issue a suspension for Jacobs, who can't practice or play while on the exempt list. Jacobs has an initial hearing on Nov. 17. It's hard to envision him playing before then. MarShawn Lloyd will handle the bulk of the workload in Jacobs' absence. |

Jets | Cade Klubnik the backup Tue Sep 1, 09:43 AM
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik will be the backup quarterback to QB Geno Smith to start the season, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Klubnik, a fourth-round pick from Clemson, is the only backup on the 53-man roster. Geno Smith, 35, will start the season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Bailey Zappe, released Sunday, is expected to return to the practice squad. Ostensibly, Klubnik, Zappe, and Brady Cook competed for the No. 2 job, but it was clear from the outset that it was Klubnik's job to lose. The Jets believe Klubnik will benefit from being the No. 2 quarterback because of the extra practice reps. |
Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love 50-50 for opener Tue Sep 1, 09:25 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is 50-50 to play in Week 1, according to sources.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, in addition to suggesting Love is 50/50 for next week's opener against the Chargers, acknowledged that we're unlikely to get clarity until next week. The team's first injury report for its matchup against the Chargers will be released on Sept. 9. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love making progress Tue Sep 1, 12:10 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is making good progress in his recovery and will take a step in his recovery Monday, Aug. 31, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Asked specifically if Love would be ready for Week 1, LaFleur would only say the rookie is "progressing." Love is dealing with what's reportedly a high-ankle sprain, suffered in their preseason win over the Raiders. He's been out of practices and doing individual work the last two weeks. But it's worth noting he traveled to Green Bay with the rest of the team last week. Fantasy managers should expect him to be questionable for the opener against the Chargers, but the first injury report of the season won't come out until Sept. 9. |

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) will be eased back into practice over the next few days, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Kittle's return to team drills comes a day after ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Kittle was expected to practice this week. Schefter reported that Kittle hasn't had any setbacks in his recovery and that he has a legitimate chance to play against the Rams to open San Francisco's 2026 season. The 49ers will practice the next three days before traveling to Melbourne to resume preparations for the opener. Shanahan said it wasn't necessary to know if Kittle will play before leaving, but that it wouldn't be a bad thing. We'll be watching for more. |
