Packers | Four players signed to PS Wed Aug 27, 02:54 PM
Free-agent RB Israel Abanikanda (Packers), WR Mecole Hardman (Packers), WR Isaiah Neyor (Packers) and WR Will Sheppard (Packers) were signed to the Green Bay Packers practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: The Packers have quite the collection of talent at the receiver position, both on the active roster and the practice squad. Sheppard is a player who can stand out with speed and ball-tracking ability on deep shots. |

Steelers | Pittsburgh adds six to practice squad Wed Aug 27, 02:33 PM
Free-agent RB Lew Nichols (Steelers), RB Trey Sermon (Steelers), WR Max Hurleman (Steelers), WR Ke'Shawn Williams (Steelers), WR Robert Woods (Steelers) and TE JJ Galbreath (Steelers) were signed to the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Sermon is a player we'll continue to monitor in deep dynasty. The Steelers want to run the heck out of the ball, and Sermon is on his fourth team since entering the NFL as a third-round pick (49ers) out of Ohio State. |

Bengals | Five players signed to practice squad Wed Aug 27, 01:56 PM
Free-agent QB Brett Rypien (Vikings), RB Gary Brightwell (Bengals), RB Kendall Milton (Bengals), WR Jordan Moore (Bengals) and WR Isaiah Williams (Bengals) were signed to the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Williams was undrafted out of Illinois in 2024, but he made the Lions final roster after coming aboard as a priority free agent after the draft. Now with the Bengals, the speed and playmaking ability as a returner keep us interested but only in super deep dynasty formats. |

Cardinals | Arizona adds five to practice squad Wed Aug 27, 01:43 PM
Free-agent WR Andre Baccellia, RB Michael Carter, TE Josiah Deguara, WR Simi Fehoko and WR Tejhaun Palmer were signed to the Arizona Cardinals practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: We still, perhaps foolishly, have interest in Carter but only in crazy deep dynasty. He's got a three-down skill set and can make plays as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield. The former fourth-round pick (Jets) in 2021 will now wait for an opportunity. |

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Trey Palmer was claimed off waivers by the New Orleans Saints Wednesday, Aug. 27.

New England Patriots WR Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) and LB Jahlani Tavai (calf) were placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Aug. 26.
| Footballguys view: Polk, a second-year receiver, will now have season-ending shoulder surgery. A second-round pick (Washington) just last year, Polk seemed in danger of making the team before suffering this shoulder injury. He'll have a ton to prove next year in training camp. |

Ravens | Isaiah Likely not expected to miss much time Wed Aug 27, 12:27 PM
Baltimore Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) was not placed on the Reserve/Injured list because the team expects him to return during the early part of the season, according to general manager Eric DeCosta.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens did not put him on IR, so Likely might just need to miss a couple of weeks at the start of the season. The team has high hopes for Likely this year and in the future. When he returns, Likely will look for snaps behind starting TE Mark Andrews. |
49ers | Kendrick Bourne of interest in San Francisco Wed Aug 27, 12:25 PM
Free-agent WR Kendrick Bourne (Patriots) is of high interest to the San Francisco 49ers, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Bourne wanted an opportunity at playing time that wasn't going to happen as the Patriots no.5 receiver. The 49ers would have interest in the veteran because of his familiarity with the scheme and their injuries at the position. He spent five years with the 49ers, and his final season with them (2020) Bourne had 49 receptions for 667 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in 15 games and five starts. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice will miss six games Wed Aug 27, 12:17 PM
Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice has accepted a six-game suspension and will miss the first six games of the 2025 season, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Rice will be a big play option for the Chiefs when he returns to the field in Week 7 against the Raiders. His current ADP is WR28 with Fantasy GMs cooking in the suspension when considering him in drafts. |

Buccaneers | Cade Otton a question mark for opener Wed Aug 27, 12:14 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (leg) is dealing with a different leg injury than the hamstring issue he dealt with earlier in camp, and his status for Week 1 is in question, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: If Otton has to miss time, the Buccaneers will turn to Payne Durham in his place. We were interested in Otton this season, especially early on with Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan missing time. |
49ers | Marquez Valdes-Scantling signs with Niners Wed Aug 27, 12:11 PM
Free-agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Seahawks) signed an undisclosed deal with the San Francisco 49ers Wednesday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Valdes-Scantling did not impress enough to win the no.3 job with the Seahawks, and now he finds his way to the 49ers. They have injuries and depth concerns at the position, so this signing makes sense. |

Ravens | Extension for Kyle Hamilton Wed Aug 27, 12:11 PM
Baltimore Ravens S Kyle Hamilton signed a four-year contract extension with the Ravens Wednesday, Aug. 27, worth $100.4 million.
| Footballguys view: Hamilton is now the highest paid safety in NFL history. The deal includes $82 million in guaranteed money. The Ravens had exercised Hamilton's fifth-year option, and he's become one of the best safeties in the league. With this extension, Hamilton is on the books with the Ravens through the 2030 season. |
Texans | Joe Mixon to be evaluated after four weeks Wed Aug 27, 12:04 PM
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (foot) will be evaluated after he sits out the first four games of the season, but general manager Nick Caserio indicated there is no guarantee that Mixon will be ready to play at that point.
| Footballguys view: There's no telling if Mixon will be ready to go after four weeks. Fantasy GMs have taken Mixon off draft boards for good reason. Nick Chubb begins the year as the starter with Dameon Pierce working as the primary backup. Chubb has a current ADP of RB46, which is a level he should be able to outplay so long as he's healthy. We see Chubb as a deep flex play while he fills in for Mixon. |

Dolphins | De'Von Achane ready for Week 1 Wed Aug 27, 10:46 AM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) will be ready for Week 1, according to general manager Chris Grier.
| Footballguys view: Achane should be out there in Week 1 against the Colts, and that means he's going to be practicing next week. The Dolphins have expressed full confidence in Achane's availability, but we'll see what his practice status is like in about a week. Fantasy GMs are taking Achane off the board at RB7, going at some point in the second round. |
Vikings | Adam Thielen lands with Vikings Wed Aug 27, 10:00 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen was acquired by the Minnesota Vikings Wednesday, Aug. 27, in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-rounder. Minnesota also receives a 2026 conditional seventh-rounder and 2027 fifth-round pick.
| Footballguys view: Thielen is back where he began his career, and Vikings fans have to love this move. With Jordan Addison suspended the first three games, Thielen gives the team a veteran who can help move the chains. |

Lions | Detroit lands a sixth for WR Tim Patrick Wed Aug 27, 09:26 AM
Detroit Lions WR Tim Patrick was shipped to the Jacksonville Jaguars Wednesday, Aug. 27, in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Patrick was acquired last year from the Broncos, and he had 394 yards and three touchdowns. The Lions feel good about their WR room behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Rookie Isaac Teslaa has an opportunity to take over as the no.3 receiver, and we love his upside and potential red zone presence. In deeper leagues, Teslaa should pay off like a 'what the heck' flex. |

Jaguars | Tim Patrick to Jaguars Wed Aug 27, 09:25 AM
Detroit Lions WR Tim Patrick was acquired by the Jacksonville Jaguars Wednesday, Aug. 27, in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars wanted size and blocking ability in their WR room behind Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter, and Patrick will provide just that. He's a seasoned veteran who has produced - when healthy - with the Lions last year and the Broncos before that. Fantasy wise, there's not a ton here for Patrick but he will provide QB Trevor Lawrence with another trusted target. |

Updating a previous report, Chicago Bears CB Zah Frazier (personal) will miss the 2025 season due to a 'personal' situation. He was the team's fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He is on the Non-Football Injury list. 'Little bit complicated of a deal; he's going to go on NFI,' general manager Ryan Poles said Tuesday, Aug. 26.
