Colts | DJ Giddens to be involved in the passing game Fri Aug 22, 02:44 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens is expected to play a role in the team's passing game to complement Jonathan Taylor, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. Per Holder, Taylor is not seen as a strong pass catcher, so this is a role designed for Giddens.
| Footballguys view: Taylor was never supposed to be a big contributor in the passing game, so this doesn't really change his outlook, but it does give Giddens a bigger crack in the door to increase his dynasty value while Taylor is still the workhorse in the running game. Giddens should also be the injury upside backup to Taylor, so he's on our late round radar and waiver wire watch list. |
Dolphins | Ollie Gordon II could challenge for for backup role Fri Aug 22, 02:24 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II could challenge Jaylen Wright for the team's RB2 role, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
| Footballguys view: Gordon has had as good a summer as Wright's has been bad, culminating with Wright getting hurt this week. The Dolphins should be in the market for a running back with De'Von Achane also hurt and Alexander Mattison going down for the season earlier in camp. If you're going to take a Dolphins back late right now, it's Gordon, but that's subject to change. |

Browns | Dylan Sampson to push Jerome Ford for carries Fri Aug 22, 01:48 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson will push Jerome Ford for carries while Quinshon Judkins' status is up in the air, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi.
| Footballguys view: The Browns are reportedly in the market for a back, and Judkins could (should?) join the team at some point this year. Cleveland had the lowest scoring offense in the league last year, and the 2025 version of Joe Flacco probably isn't going to change that. Neither of these backs are more than late round fliers. |
Texans | Jayden Higgins in line for early playing time Fri Aug 22, 01:43 PM
Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins is competing for one of the starting receiver jobs but will see plenty of playing time this season even if he is not in the starting lineup, in the opinion of ESPN.com's DJ Bien-Amie.
| Footballguys view: Higgins is going to rotate with Xavier Hutchinson to open the season, but if he plays up to his draft slot, he should become the starter in time. The bigger concern with his fantasy value is the Texans lacking a credible running game and overhauled offensive line. He's only a late round bench stash for now. |
Giants | Three receivers off roster Fri Aug 22, 01:33 PM
New York Giants WR Jordan Bly, WR Zach Pascal and WR Montrell Washington were released Friday, Aug. 22.

Rams | Jarquez Hunter on track to be No. 3 RB Fri Aug 22, 01:32 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Jarquez Hunter will likely start the season as the team's No. 3 running back but should receive some playing time as a change of pace back, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop.
| Footballguys view: Blake Corum separated from Hunter this summer, so we should put away any notion that the pick of Hunter spelled the end of any chance for fantasy relevance for Corum. If Kyren Williams goes down this year, Corum is the back we'll be picking up off of the wire. |
Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson brings new dynamic to offense Fri Aug 22, 01:29 PM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson brings 'a different gear' to the team's offense, which they have lacked in recent years, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. Per Reiss, he points out the Patriots are creating their own version of the Detroit Lions backfield with Henderson playing the Jahmyr Gibbs role and Rhamondre Stevenson playing the role of David Montgomery.
| Footballguys view: If the offense is moderately successful and the team somewhat competitive, both backs should outproduce their ADPs. Stevenson is a slightly better value, while Henderson has a higher ceiling, especially in PPR leagues. Henderson is one of the fastest risers as we get to the peak of draft season, so you might have to take him before his Footballguys consensus ADP of 46 to get him. |

Link to story Titans | Elic Ayomanor has a future starting role in sight Fri Aug 22, 11:49 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Elic Ayomanor has made big plays down the field and across the middle, which makes him a candidate as the future 'X' receiver once he finds more consistency.
Link to story Titans | Gunnar Helm earning trust Fri Aug 22, 11:47 AM
Tennessee Titans TE Gunnar Helm has showcased the ability to find windows in zone coverage and win on seam routes, which has made him a trusted target for QB Cam Ward. It has given Helm more looks with the first-team in 12-personnel sets and plays when he's the only tight end on the field.
| Footballguys view: Chig Okonkwo got a lot of first team snaps earlier in the preseason, but Helm is generating buzz and will probably keep Okonkwo from having a significantly larger role in the offense than he had last year. It's not clear that the Titans pass offense will support the value of more than one (Calvin Ridley) passcatcher this season. |
Titans | Chimere Dike working in the slot Fri Aug 22, 11:32 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Chimere Dike has earned a reserve slot receiver role and could see action on special teams.
Link to story Titans | Cam Ward connecting with Calvin Ridley in deep passing game Fri Aug 22, 10:57 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward has become a leader on the field, and his trash talk at defensive teammates has provided a spark in practice. He has showcased a deep passing ability with WR Calvin Ridley. He is focused on staying on schedule and getting the ball out when he gets to the top of his drops. 'His timing is up to date,' Ridley said. 'He whips it, he's confident, it's smooth. It's an easy, catchable ball.'
| Footballguys view: If anyone benefits from Ward's arrival in what should be an up and down year for the Titans offense at best, it would be Ridley. The quality of wide receivers around Ridley's range of the draft is better than usual, but if he and Ward can get on the same page on deep balls and extended plays, Ridley could be one of the biggest hits of the mid rounds. |
Vikings | MIN interested in Adam Thielen reunion Fri Aug 22, 10:49 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen has been inquired about via trade from the Minnesota Vikings.
| Footballguys view: The trade makes sense for both teams, as the Panthers love their #4 receiver Jalen Coker, and the Vikings need receiver help with Jordan Addison suspended for the first three games and Jalen Nailor nursing a hand injury. Thielen is a late round dart throw in PPR leagues whether he's a Panther or Vikings for Week 1, but going to Minnesota would give him a better chance to start hot. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins returns to practice after apparent ankle injury Thu Aug 21, 03:49 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ankle) suffered an apparent ankle injury during practice on Thursday, Aug. 21, according to Fox19 sports reporter Jeremy Rauch. Higgins went to the sidelines for treatment, causing some concern, but he returned to practice a few plays later, according to Rauch.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Bengals here. The defense should struggle again in 2025, so that means Joe Burrow and offense need to do everything for a team that has designs of making a postseason run. Higgins is going to be a big part of what the team does through the air with teammate WR Ja'Marr Chase. While Chase is WR1 in current ADP, Higgins is aptly placed at WR12. |
