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. |
Jets | Isaiah Williams pushing for bigger role Wed Aug 12, 03:24 PM
New York Jets WR Isaiah Williams has been one of the standout performers during training camp and is pushing for the No. 3 receiver job, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.

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. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett to see some work Thursday Wed Aug 12, 02:14 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett will play a series or two along with the other starters during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 14.
| Footballguys view: Brissett got his new contract around the start of camp, and he's set to start in Week 1. They may not win many games with Brissett as their starter, but the wide receivers do benefit from a veteran under center. Even though Brissett will begin the season as the starter, there's a chance they have an eye on the future and give Carson Beck a look late in the year. |

Browns | Top two QBs will each get start Wed Aug 12, 01:46 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders will each start one of the next two preseason games, according to head coach Todd Monken.
| Footballguys view: Watson and Sanders have been rotating reps this summer. Monken said the starting quarterback will play the first half of the preseason game, while the other quarterback will play the third quarter of the game. We'll likely see a decision made after the second preseason game. No matter the decision, Fantasy GMs won't find much value here. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks set to play Saturday Wed Aug 12, 01:15 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks is scheduled to play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 15, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Both Brooks and Chubba Hubbard are set to play in the team's second preseason game. Brooks missed all of last year due to a knee injury, but he's got the natural talent to be a productive runner in the pros. Current ADP has both backs being drafted near each other. Brooks is going off the board at RB36 (9.10) while Hubbard is RB35 (9.02) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (undisclosed) limped off the field to be examined by trainers Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on this situation. Egbuka limped off with the help of trainers, and then watched from the sidelines. The Bucs are going to be wisely cautious with Egbuka. When we know more about the injury, we'll have more of an idea as to what kind of timeline could be needed in recovery. |
Falcons | Tua Tagovailoa settling in Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa has 'really turned the corner' recently, in the opinion of ESPN's Marc Raimondi, who writes that Tagovailoa is starting to look comfortable in the offense.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa is set to begin the regular season as the starter with Michael Penix (knee) not yet cleared to resume football activities. Falcons quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt said that Tagovailoa is 'getting better every day.' Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski said the team does not have a timetable to name its starting quarterback...but the reality is that Tagovailoa is experienced and ready for the opportunity. |

49ers | Demarcus Robinson pushing for roster spot Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Demarcus Robinson enjoyed 'another big day' at camp on Tuesday, Aug. 11, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner, who writes that the veteran continues to show he could function as a 'valuable backup at multiple spots' for the team in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Robinson can come through for his team, just like he did in the Wild Card win over the Eagles where he snared six passes for 111 yards and one touchdown. With the addition of Deebo Samuel, Robinson has moved down the depth chart and is competing for around the no.5 spot. |

Dolphins | De'Von Achane looking at heavy workload Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane could have games in which he touches the ball more than 40 times, HC Jeff Hafley said during an interview on the 'The Rich Eisen Show,' on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this year, Achane said Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik wants to be run-heavy in 2026. That being said, 40 touches is a bit ridiculous for one game....and Achane is unlikely to get that heavy of a workload. Achane did say he wanted to lead the league in rushing this year, and if his body holds up he could be in line to do just that. He's got a current ADP of RB6 (2.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Ravens | Lamar Jackson will not play any preseason games Wed Aug 12, 11:27 AM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will reportedly not play in any preseason games, according to Ravens HC Jesse Minter on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. He's a seasoned veteran, with a new offense, that doesn't need every rep in the preseason (or any reps). Jackson said new OC Declan Doyle's play calling is "mind blowing." We're excited to see Jackson is Doyle's offense this year. Jackson has a current ADP of QB3 (6.02) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Lions | Sam LaPorta impressing Wed Aug 12, 10:57 AM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta has impressed in training camp. QB Jared Goff found LaPorta down the left seam for a big gain down to the nine-yard line Tuesday, Aug. 10. The next play was a touchdown pass to LaPorta over the middle, which has been common throughout camp. 'He had a good play down the field (Monday) on third down and he's a stud,' Goff said. 'He's the same guy every day and continues to get better like they all do and got to find ways to give him the ball.'
| Footballguys view: LaPorta is a low-end TE1 for Fantasy GMs as per usual. So long as he can stay healthy after an injury-shortened 2025 season, LaPorta should pay off for those who draft him. He's got a current ADP of TE11 (8.06) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Eagles | Elijah Moore continues strong camp Wed Aug 12, 01:12 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Elijah Moore has been one of the 'primary players' to take advantage of the continued absence of WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Makai Lemon (hamstring), according to ESPN's Tim McManus.
| Footballguys view: Let's keep an eye on Moore in the preseason. He's a veteran player who can make plays in practice, but he's essentially the no.5 receiver for the Eagles on their depth chart. It's good he's making plays, and with Smith/Lemon banged up guys like Moore will get more looks in the preseason. |

Packers | Jordan Love playing in preseason opener is 'current plan' Tue Aug 11, 04:44 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love playing in the Packers' preseason opener against the Steelers is the current plan, according to HC Matt LaFleur on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Love played the preseason opener in each of the last three seasons, so it's no real surprise the team will take the same approach this summer. LaFleur noted that he reserves the right to change his mind, but he also noted why he likes "getting your process down" ahead of the regular season. The Packers will be in Pittsburgh on Thursday, and they'll be back on the road against the Broncos for their second preseason game. Their only home game of the summer will be on August 28 against the Cardinals. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (undisclosed) left practice early with the trainer, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 11. HC Sean McVay said he 'isn't sure what the deal is just yet.'
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, the injury issue comes amid a rough day for Nacua investors. Not only might he be injured, but Adam Schefter also floated the possibility that the NFL could suspend Nacua for his offseason actions. There have been claims that Nacua was allegedly involved in a "biting" incident at a bar on New Year's Eve. The case is still open. Schefter states that a suspension is "within the range of outcomes." Schefter's tidbit and a lack of information on the injury are both concerns. We'll watch for more. |

Raiders | Fernando Mendoza to get work during preseason Tue Aug 11, 04:11 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza will reportedly receive 'plenty of game reps' this Thursday in the Raiders' preseason game against the Cardinals and throughout the preseason, according to HC Klint Kubiak on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Kubiak did not disclose his exact plans for playing time this week, but there is a chance Mendoza will take some snaps with the first-team offensive line. Generally, Kubiak said Mendoza has grown throughout training camp. "It's been a really impressive training camp as far as how he's prepared," Kubiak said. "And then he goes out there to practice, and things don't happen on the drawing, on the paper in the playbook exactly as they do on the field. So, I think he's done a good job of adjusting." We'll all get to see that for ourselves Thursday night. |

49ers | Mike Evans back at practice Tue Aug 11, 03:37 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (quad) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Evans is the 49ers' prized free-agent acquisition. The longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver is entering his 13th NFL season but continues to perform at a high level. He is expected to provide quarterback Brock Purdy with the best boundary target and red-zone weapon of his career -- as long as he's on the field. We'll be monitoring Evans' health all month. Remember, his WR27 ADP and fifth-round price don't reflect Evans' historic production. |

Vikings | Minnesota remains hopeful with J.J. McCarthy Tue Aug 11, 03:06 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy 'has a future with the organization,' according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. Kyler Murray was named the starting quarterback on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert, McCarthy showed incremental progress this summer but could not close the sizable gap that already existed with Murray. At 23, he is younger than most of the quarterbacks in the NFL's 2026 draft class. But after losing his entire rookie season to a torn meniscus in his right knee and then producing a season underwhelming enough that O'Connell sought out Murray, there is no longer an obvious path for him to recapture the job unless Murray is injured. |
