Saints | Spencer Rattler to start for New Orleans Thu Aug 13, 01:30 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Spencer Rattler will start the team's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday, Aug. 15, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: The Saints have Tyler Shough as their starter, and he's played good football for them. Rattler was once thought of as a potential starter, but now it seems like he'll settle in as a backup in the pros. |
Saints | Jordyn Tyson leaves practice Thu Aug 13, 01:27 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson left practice with an apparent leg injury and did not return on Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Reports are indicating this is a hamstring injury, but it's said to be not serious. That sounds great, but we're also dealing with a rookie receiver that has been limited by a hamstring injury since the NFL Scouting Combine. Tyson has incredible upside in the pros, but his rookie season may not get off to a hot start if he can't shake this hamstring issue. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes sitting preseason opener Thu Aug 13, 11:29 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) won't play in the preseason opener Saturday, Aug. 15, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: We're excited to see Mahomes back out there for the Chiefs, but he doesn't need to play in the preseason. He's missing the opener, and Mahomes may be shut down for the rest of the preseason too. Mahomes is trending to be ready for Week 1 against the Broncos. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard sidelined Thu Aug 13, 11:25 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) is out of practice Thursday, Aug. 13, due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Panthers HC Dave Canales said he's confident Hubbard will be ready for Week 1. He's considered week-to-week with the hamstring injury. Jonathon Brooks has been dazzling in Panthers camp, and he's set to play in the preseason. The team will use both backs in a committee this year. |

Bills | Josh Allen will play in preseason opener Thu Aug 13, 10:47 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen will play in the preseason opener Saturday, Aug. 15, after head coach Joe Brady said everyone healthy will play Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Some teams don't play their starters much if at all in the preseason, and certainly some don't play starting quarterbacks in the preseason opener. Allen is going to be out there, likely briefly, and we're excited about what he can do with new HC Joe Brady running the show. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice not expected to be suspended for violating probation Thu Aug 13, 10:39 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is not expected to be suspended for violating his probation, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: This gives Chiefs fans and Fantasy GMs some clarity. Rice violated his probation and spent 30 days in jail because of it. He's not getting suspended, but he is coming back from offseason knee surgery. Camp reports about Rice have been "meh" (at best), and he's been somewhat limited on certain days. Rice has a current ADP of WR13 (3.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Panthers | Darren Waller inks one-year deal Thu Aug 13, 10:39 AM
Free-agent Darren Waller (Dolphins) has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, according to a source on Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: Waller was retired but played for the Dolphins in nine games last year, scoring six touchdowns while catching 24 passes for 283 yards. The Panthers should use him as a red-zone target, and Waller should rotate snaps with guys like Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans, and Ja'Tavion Sanders. The situation and Waller's ability near pay dirt make him a consideration as a low-end TE2 with upside. |

Giants | Malik Nabers may be more involved soon Wed Aug 12, 04:36 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) could start participating in team drills as soon as next week, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Nabers is making his way back from the knee injury that shortened his 2025 season after just four games. Barring any sort of setback, Nabers should be able to start against the Cowboys in Week 1 of the regular season. His injury status is baked into his ADP, and currently Nabers is going off the board at WR15 (3.10) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Jets | Omar Cooper having some missteps Wed Aug 12, 03:25 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has shown some inconsistencies during training camp, but wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said that is normal for a rookie.
| Footballguys view: The team moved up in the 2026 NFL Draft to select Cooper at no.30 overall. He's an outside or slot target who can win with run-after-the-catch ability (think young Deebo Samuel here). The Indiana wideout should be the team's no.3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. |

Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka injury update Wed Aug 12, 03:04 PM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (toe) suffered a toe injury during practice Wednesday, Aug. 12, but the injury is not believed to be serious, according to source.
| Footballguys view: We're not going to be alarmists here, but toe injuries can be turf toe injuries...and those can linger. If sources say the injury is not considered serious, then all we can do is monitor Egbuka for the rest of training camp and the preseason. If healthy and ready for Week 1 (and this report makes it sound like he should be), Egbuka is a WR2/flex with upside for Fantasy GMs on a weekly basis. |
