49ers | Marquez Valdes-Scantling could play Week 1 Sun Aug 31, 06:42 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling explains why he chose the Niners and a practice squad spot over going to the Pittsburgh Steelers to reunite with QB Aaron Rodgers. 'I had to weigh my options and see which one I wanted to do, which was going to be better for my career at this point, and I was excited about it,' Valdes-Scantling said. He added that the playbook familiarity is similar with 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak and Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, his previous stop.

Philadelphia Eagles CB Adoree' Jackson was spotted warming up with the starting cornerbacks during practice Sunday, Aug. 31, while other players at the position were participating in special teams drills. Head coach Nick Sirianni has been vague about starting jobs, but this appears to be a hint that Jackson has earned a starting job.

Link to story Cowboys | Miles Sanders considered primary backup Sun Aug 31, 03:54 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Miles Sanders is listed as the primary backup to RB Javonte Williams on the team's first unofficial depth chart ahead of the Week 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Fifth round speedster Jaydon Blue is the #3 back and seventh round power back Phil Mafah is on injured reserve with a designation to return because of a shoulder injury. Williams is the Cowboys back to play if you need to dig deep for a starter in Week 1, but don't expect much vs. the Eagles. This pecking order is subject to change, and Dallas could seek to trade for another back once they see this trio in action. |

Commanders | Hard work pays off for Chris Rodriguez Sun Aug 31, 03:30 PM
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. spent a month and a half in Atlanta this offseason working to become faster and lighter, while focusing on strength and mobility training. Rodriguez shed weight, dropping to 222 pounds. He also worked on a program to improve his pass catching and route running. 'I like his fight,' head coach Dan Quinn said. 'I like that he really worked hard to change his body, and those are things that, when people continue to show you that, then you pay attention.'
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez isn't flashy, but he has the hard-nosed downhill running style to become the first option in short yardage and to salt away wins in a committee backfield. He's the cheapest in drafts, but Rodriguez has the valuable goal line touches and could easily end up being the best fantasy option in the Washington backfield. |
Giants | Beaux Collins could grow into role Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
New York Giants WR Beaux Collins had a 'spectacular' showing in offseason workouts and training camp, according to Bucky Brooks of NFL.com, and Brooks believes Collins could develop into a No. 3 receiver
| Footballguys view: 2023 third round pick Jalin Hyatt had a poor summer, so Collins could be active on game days and even get a few snaps against Washington in the season opener. He reeled in a deep ball from Russell Wilson for an 80-yard gain in one of the highlights of the preseason. |
Titans | Gunnar Helm a future TE1? Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
Tennessee Titans TE Gunnar Helm's toughness and hands have earned praise from the coaching staff, and ESPN's Matt Miller believes Helm could become the team's starting tight end this season.
| Footballguys view: Chig Okonkwo finished last year strong and was in with the starters a lot earlier in the preseason, but the trend here favors the rookie Helm. Okonkwo doesn't add much as a blocker and Helm has been dependable for fellow rookie QB Cam Ward. |
Panthers | Jalen Coker injury update Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks because of his quadriceps injury, according to a source. He was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Aug. 30.
| Footballguys view: Coker will be on our waiver wire watch list when he returns, but this injury is concerning long term because it is the same injury that sidelined him for three games last year. Coker's conditioning was an issue with Dave Canales during the offseason, but the head coach praised him for his progress, which makes this injury even more disappointing. Coker was poised to start in the slot after Adam Thielen was dealt to Minnesota, but that spot will go to Hunter Renfrow now. |
Falcons | Jalon Walker progressing Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
Atlanta Falcons LB Jalon Walker (ankle) is doing good in his recovery from injury, according to head coach Raheem Morris.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons used the 15th overall pick to land Walker, who most expected to go in the top 10 of the draft. He missed about half of the summer practices with groin and hamstring injuries, but the team said they have a plan for him in Week 1 and he will be ready to play. Walker's snap count against Tampa (who will be missing left tackle Tristan Wirfs) will be determined by head coach Raheem Morris "waves" approach, which sounds a lot like a hot hand backfield. |
Buccaneers | Charlie Heck to start early Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT Charlie Heck will start at left tackle until OT Tristan Wirfs (knee) is able to return to the lineup. Wirfs is expected to return at some point in September.
| Footballguys view: Expect the Bucs to keep a tight end in to help Heck at times. Cade Otton is probably going to miss at least Week 1 with a hamstring injury, so the team will call on Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp to play larger roles than usual. The offense won't be top form without Wirfs and Godwin against the Falcons to open the season, but the matchup is still favorable for Baker Mayfield and company. |
Titans | JC Latham dealing with injury Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
Tennessee Titans OT JC Latham (undisclosed) did not participate in practice this week, but head coach Brian Callahan is optimistic about Latham's availability for Week 1.
| Footballguys view: The only detail we got from Callahan about the nature of Latham's absence was "general soreness". Callahan doesn't seem worried about it, so we're not worried about that in particular. We are generally worried, however, about Cam Ward facing the Broncos defense to open his NFL career, and if Latham ends up not ready to play, we will only be more worried. Don't be surprised if it's a long afternoon for the Tennessee offense. |
Cowboys | Perrion Winfrey nursing back issue Sun Aug 31, 03:25 PM
Dallas Cowboys DT Perrion Winfrey (back) left practice Sunday, Aug. 31 due to a lower back injury.
Link to story Buccaneers | Trio of TEs might have to fill void Sun Aug 31, 02:59 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers TEs Devin Culp, Payne Durham and Ko Kieft might be thrust into bigger roles in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons if TE Cade Otton (leg) is unable to go. It's uncertain which player would be tabbed to start, although Kieft probably has the most experience in the system, while Durham is seen as the best blocker of the triumvirate.

Vikings | Feeling good about Jalen Nailor for opener Sun Aug 31, 02:52 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor (hand) is trending upward for the Week 1 game against the Chicago Bears, as the team is optimistic he'll be ready to play after missing time due to a hand injury. Per sources, barring any setbacks, Nailor should be ready to play.
| Footballguys view: Nailor's role won't be as large as it would have been before the team acquired Adam Thielen, but he'll still be the complementary receiver more likely to get deep targets that can turn into big plays. Nailor isn't on our redraft radar, but his presence could help JJ McCarthy. |
Chiefs | Hollywood Brown able to practice Sun Aug 31, 02:11 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown (ankle) was able to practice Sunday, Aug. 31, and head coach Andy Reid said the veteran receiver 'should be fine' for the regular-season opener. Brown missed time in training camp and the preseason due to an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Brown is worth drafting in typical leagues to see if he gets off to a hot start with Rashee Rice suspended and fourth round rookie Jalen Royals likely out for at least Week 1 with a knee issue. The Chiefs also have veterans JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton, so it's possible that he is eased back into the lineup in the season opener in Brazil vs. the Chargers. |

Link to story Lions | DET interested in extending Jameson Williams Sun Aug 31, 12:21 PM
The Detroit Lions have started discussions with WR Jameson Williams regarding a potential contract extension, according to general manager Brad Holmes.
| Footballguys view: This tends to corroborate reports that Williams role was being expanded in camp. It's possible that he and Amon-Ra St. Brown (who had a strong camp himself according to all reports) are more of a 1A/1B this year, which doesn't necessarily mean that St. Brown is overvalued. The Lions also have huge athletic third round pick Isaac TeSlaa, who dazzled in the preseason, as their newly minted #3 receiver. |
Browns | Isaiah Bond still subject to NFL discipline Sun Aug 31, 11:43 AM
The National Football League is still reviewing the sexual assault case of Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond, even though there are no longer pending charges, according to league spokesman Brian McCarthy. He remains subject to NFL discipline, although no decision appears imminent.
Link to story Browns | Quinshon Judkins still subject to NFL discipline Sun Aug 31, 11:26 AM
The National Football League is still reviewing the misdemeanor domestic battery case of Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins, even though there are no longer pending charges, according to league spokesman Brian McCarthy. He remains subject to discipline from the league, although no decision appears imminent.
| Footballguys view: This is at least one of the reasons that Judkins hasn't signed yet. It's not clear when the league will conclude their investigation. Judkins camp and the Browns are also going to have to find a common ground to finalize changes to the contract that are called for in light of Judkins domestic violence incident and any league response to it. It's a stretch to imagine Judkins being ready to play in Week 1, and the impact he can make after that is subject to numerous variables, including the play of fellow rookie Dylan Sampson and passing down back Jerome Ford. If you take Judkins, you will have to hold him for an indefinite number of weeks before you even know what you have. |

Jaguars | Travis Hunter on track for opener Sat Aug 30, 03:11 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter (undisclosed) will be available to play in the Week 1 game, according to general manager James Gladstone.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Jaguars here. Hunter is the Heisman Trophy winner who wants to play on both sides of the ball in the pros just like he did at Colorado. He's a wide receiver who may dabble at cornerback for the Jaguars in 2025. From a fantasy perspective, Hunter is a WR3/flex option with upside as the no.2 receiver for the Jaguars opposite Brian Thomas Jr. |
