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 (abductor) 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, and abductor). 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. |

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. |
Texas | 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 CJ 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" 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. |

Raiders | Optimisim 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 Raiers 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. 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 be produce like an RB2 with upside if given a majority of the workload (if Jeanty has to miss time). |

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.
| Footballguys view: As noted in a previous item, head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters that Love, who returned to practice on Monday, is making good progress in his recovery. 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. |

49ers | George Kittle will be on field this week Tue Sep 1, 12:08 AM
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. |
