Cleveland Browns WR Diontae Johnson had one reception for 12 yards in the preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, Aug. 23.
Footballguys view: Johnson is on the roster bubble and nowhere near reasserting himself to the level he was seen at in fantasy and NFL terms going into last season. He's not worth a roster spot in typical dynasty leagues. |

Cleveland Browns CB Greg Newsome II (shoulder) went through pregame routines, but he did not play against the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, Aug. 23. LB Mohamoud Diabate (undisclosed), OT Cornelius Lucas (ankle) and LB Winston Reid (back) are also nursing injuries, and each remained sidelined.

Cleveland Browns CB Denzel Ward Jr. (shoulder) did not play in the preseason finale, as expected, but the team is hopeful he'll be ready for the Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday, Sept. 7.
Footballguys view: If Ward isn't ready for Week 1, the Browns defense will be without their best corner against one of the most prolific passing games in the league. We'll be monitoring this and reflecting it in our Week 1 projections. |

Cleveland Browns DT Adin Huntington was notified he has a spot on the 53-man regular-season roster. 'He's on our football team,' head coach Kevin Stefanski said of the undrafted rookie from Tulane. '(General manager Andrew Berry) said I could share that with (the media).' Huntington has taken snaps at fullback, contributed on special teams and worked on defense, posting 1.5 sacks and four tackles with a forced fumble in the preseason.

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II rushed eight times for a team-high 43 yards in the preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday, Aug. 23.
Footballguys view: De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright are hurt and Alexander Mattison is out for the season. Gordon is the de facto leader of the Dolphins backfield, and he should play a big role in Week 1 against the Colts even if Achane and Wright are ready to play. Gordon belongs on your late round target list after a good first camp that will result in a role for the rookie sixth round pick. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson caught all eight of his targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Buffalo Bills Saturday, Aug. 23.
Footballguys view: Johnson lasted until the seventh round of the draft because he is tiny (5'10" 154) by NFL standards, but with Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan out early in the season, he should get on the field at times and show that he belongs. Johnson is cat quick and could make some plays against defenses more concerned with Mike Evans and Bucky Irving. |
Seattle Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe completed 13 of his 24 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown and rushed seven times for 31 yards during the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers Saturday, Aug. 23. He was also sacked five times and lost three fumbles.
Footballguys view: Milroe is a long term project and he looked like one in this game. While he's still worth a stash in superflex dynasty leagues, it's harder to picture him getting on the field this season - even if the Seahawks year goes south - after watching this painful performance. |
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden caught one pass for 39 yards during the preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks Saturday, Aug. 23.
Footballguys view: Golden is set to open the season as one of the top targets in the Packers pass offense in his NFL debut. The reports on his play have been unanimously positive, and he should be drafted as a WR3/Flex with upside in redraft leagues. |
Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington caught all three of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday, Aug. 23.
Footballguys view: Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane are the mostly likely players to inherit the short targets vacated when Jonnu Smith was traded, but don't discount Washington, who is very good after the catch. He should play a role in the offense and be on your radar in deep PPR and deep dynasty leagues. |
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (thumb) said he will be ready to play in Week 1.
Footballguys view: Love should be ready for Week 1, but we can't be as sure about Jayden Reed, who has been battling a foot injury. Dontayvion Wicks also has been nursing a calf injury. The Lions defense is up in the season opener and they might have a rusty Love without his full complement of receivers. |

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said he believes CB Trevon Diggs (knee) will be on the 53-man roster to start the season and hopes Diggs will be able to do some things during practice next week.
Footballguys view: We should expect Diggs to be sidelined for at least the season opener against the Eagles, which will upgrade Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, and DeVonta Smith for that matchup. The Cowboys draw the Giants, Bears and Packers in Weeks 2-4. |

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. had a touchdown reception in the preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, Aug. 23, from QB Joe Flacco. 'It's definitely special. Growing up in Northeast Ohio, everybody loves the Browns. Actually to get drafted to the Browns and actually score a touchdown for the Browns, it's such a so real thing. My parents were there, so made it even better, too,' Fannin said.
Footballguys view: Fannin should have a role in the Browns offense right away. That could hurt David Njoku's ceiling, while not necessarily making Fannin fantasy relevant this year. Fannin's development is a great sign for his dynasty value, but he's not going to take off until Njoku isn't with the Browns, which could be next year, when Njoku is a free agent. |
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 3-of-6 passes for 14 yards while getting sacked five times in the preseason finale Saturday, Aug. 23 against the Los Angeles Rams. 'I'm committed to his development, just like everybody's,' head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sunday, Aug. 24. Sanders is battling for the No. 3 job with fellow rookie QB Dillon Gabriel.
Link to storyCleveland Browns DE Julian Okwara (rib) is dealing with a rib injury he picked up in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 23 against the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sunday, Aug. 24, he'd have an update in a couple of days. Okwara is down the depth chart, simply battling for a roster spot, and the injury could make a difference in whether he is kept or cut loose.

Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond played nine snaps in the preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sunday, Aug. 24, that it was a 'good start', and that he is pleased with the rookie's progress.
Link to storyCleveland Browns QB Kenny Pickett (hamstring) is expected to be ready for the Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He is also expected to be the primary backup to starting QB Joe Flacco.

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. was acquired by the San Francisco 49ers Friday, Aug. 22, in exchange for a sixth-round pick.
Footballguys view: As explained in Saturday's Fantasy Notebook, San Francisco has been without rookie Jordan James for most of camp, placed Patrick Taylor Jr. on injured reserve with a shoulder injury, and just got backup Isaac Guerendo back from a shoulder injury of his own. Starter Christian McCaffrey has made it through camp without issue, but Robinson provides a power element the Niners' backfield otherwise lacks. Beyond that, head coach Kyle Shanahan openly proclaimed Robinson will be the team's RB2 behind CMC on Sunday. |
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) has not experienced any setbacks from his calf injury and is expected to resume practicing before the season opener, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.
Footballguys view: That's a relief for Achane and his fantasy teams. We'll be monitoring the reports about upcoming practices for any setbacks or issues, but as long as there are not any, he should be good to go for Week 1 lineups. Sixth round pick Ollie Gordon II is set to back him up and maybe take short yardage work with Jaylen Wright week-to-week with a leg injury and Alexander Mattison out for the season. |
The Chicago Bears released WR Samori Toure Sunday, Aug. 24.
Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz is optimistic that RB Najee Harris (eye) will be ready to play in Week 1's game versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Footballguys view: Harris's eye injury has been surrounded by mystery. This is the first truly positive update we have gotten, as Jim Harbaugh was disturbingly vague when asked about Harris during camp. If Harris is ready for Week 1, that's going to make it harder for Omarion Hampton to have a big instant impact in fantasy leagues. Harris should stay in the back half of drafts, as he'll only have significant value if Hampton gets hurt. |

The Minnesota Vikings traded QB Sam Howell and a 2027 seventh-round draft pick to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, Aug. 24, in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to multiple sources.
Link to storyThe Philadelphia Eagles acquired QB Sam Howell and a 2027 seventh-round draft pick from the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Aug. 24, in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to multiple sources.
Footballguys view: Tanner McKee was having a great summer for the Eagles, but he is out with a finger injury. Judging by this trade, the team must not expect him back any time soon. The Vikings felt good enough about Carson Wentz - who they signed this weekend - behind JJ McCarthy that they could recoup some draft capital for Howell. The Vikings only moved down 30 spots in April's draft to get Howell, so they profited from having him on the roster for months, getting a fifth round pick outright, in addition to a similar bump from the seventh to sixth as the one they gave up within the fifth round to get Howell in the first place. |
The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent QB Carson Wentz (Chiefs) Sunday, Aug. 24, according to multiple sources. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) could miss up to six weeks after he re-injured his hamstring at practice Tuesday, Aug. 19, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings (calf) is expected to be ready for Week 1's game versus the Seattle Seahawks Sept. 7, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Footballguys view: Shanahan is mostly reliable on injury statements even though we'll all remember how the 49ers deceived us about Christian McCaffrey last year. Jennings will have a risk of re-injury early in the season and could start slow. Ricky Pearsall is still the preferred 49ers wide receiver in drafts. When Jennings is back up to speed, that should help Brock Purdy's fantasy stock. |

Seattle Seahawks DB Tyler Hall (knee) sustained a knee injury after colliding with WR Jake Bobo (concussion) on a punt return during the second quarter of the preseason game versus the Green Bay Packers Saturday, Aug. 23. Hall was helped into the blue medical tent before eventually being carted off. However, head coach Mike Macdonald said that the injury is not believed to be serious.

New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore plans to decide whether QB Spencer Rattler or QB Tyler Shough will be the team's starting quarterback during the upcoming week.
Footballguys view: This is as bad as it looks on the surface. The indecision isn't because both quarterbacks have played so well and both deserve to start. It could still be ok for Alvin Kamara, who will catch a ton of checkdown passes. Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed are also going at deep discounts which might be overestimating just how much the quarterback situation will affect their values this year. No matter how you cut it for fantasy, the Saints have the worst quarterback situation in the league. |
Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (wrist) sustained a fractured right wrist during the first half of the preseason game versus the Arizona Cardinals Saturday, Aug. 23. He is expected to miss six to eight weeks, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
Footballguys view: The Raiders also have sixth round pick Cam Miller on the roster, but this injury will put them in the market for a backup quarterback. The problem is that they aren't the only team looking to address their backup situation. If you have any Raiders on your fantasy team, know that it's even more important that Geno Smith stays healthy this season. |
Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (leg) is 'week to week' with a leg injury, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (foot) will participate in practice Monday, Aug. 25, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Footballguys view: The foot injury was considered minor, so it's good to see the superstar quarterback will be at practice on Monday. Fantasy GMs and Ravens fans can rest easy that Jackson should be 100 percent by the start of the regular season. |
