  Colts | Michael Pittman back on field    Wed Aug 20, 03:17 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (undisclosed) is participating in practice Wednesday, Aug. 20.

Footballguys view: Pittman missed practice on Tuesday, but he's back out there on Wednesday. That means it's just a minor issue. Pittman did have a groin injury that was tweaked earlier in camp. With Daniel Jones at quarterback, Pittman should be the favorite target. He has a current ADP of WR49 and could outperform that spot.

  Ravens | Lamar Jackson does not finish practice    Wed Aug 20, 03:08 PM

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (foot) left practice early Wednesday, Aug. 20, after having his foot stepped on. The team said Jackson will be fine moving forward.

Footballguys view: It's a scare but that's it. Jackson can continue playing at an MVP level, and there are rumblings about a contract extension coming. His current cap number for 2026 ($74.5 MM) would make things difficult when it comes to keeping core players together on the roster.

  Broncos | No practice for Jaleel McLaughlin    Wed Aug 20, 02:40 PM

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 20.

Footballguys view: McLaughlin is the Broncos' scatback. He likely makes the roster as the no.3 back behind JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey. If one of those guys gets banged up, it's unlikely that McLaughlin's role would grow from what it is right now (change-of-pace scatback).

  Ravens | Rashod Bateman not on field Wednesday    Wed Aug 20, 02:34 PM

Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Aug. 20.

Footballguys view: Bateman might just be getting some rest here. He's a big-play specialist who can fly down the field and be a presence in the red zone. From a fantasy perspective, Bateman can be a frustrating boom-bust play as a deep flex option.

  Jets | Isaiah Davis still sidelined    Wed Aug 20, 02:05 PM

New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (ankle) has been sidelined for two weeks because of an ankle injury and is walking around with a slight limp.

Footballguys view: The Jets are likely to run the heck out of the ball this year. That's good news for Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, but that could trickle down to Davis if needed. He's a powerful back who can grind down an opponent. We like him in dynasty formats, but this ankle injury has to clear up before he'll have the opportunity to produce.

Footballguys view: Baker needs to play if he can. He's on the roster bubble and is likely bound for the practice squad if he's impressed enough over the summer.

  Dolphins | Darren Waller activated    Wed Aug 20, 11:45 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (undisclosed) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, Aug. 20, and he will practice for the first time.

Footballguys view: The Dolphins have a joint practice with the Jaguars on Thursday, so Waller should be out there. We don't yet know what his role will be and if Waller will be able to stay healthy for most of the year. At this time, Fantasy GMs should look at him as a TE2 with upside.

  Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet will have big role    Wed Aug 20, 10:38 AM

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet is going to have a significant role in the offense, in the opinion of beat writer Brady Henderson. RB Kenneth Walker III's ongoing availability issues and the way Charbonnet continues to impress the organization suggests that Seattle's backfield could be more of a timeshare than a typical starter-backup arrangement.

Footballguys view: Walker was limited during the offseason program because of an ankle injury and has been sidelined for much of camp with a sore foot. Charbonnet can play on all three downs and excel as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Walker is RB16 right now and Charbonnet is RB38 in current ADP. Expect Walker's ADP to fall back and Charbonnet to come up a bit.

  Texans | Xavier Hutchinson's role increasing    Wed Aug 20, 10:01 AM

  Texans | PUP possible for Joe Mixon    Wed Aug 20, 09:47 AM

Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) could land on the Physically Unable to Perform list and miss the first four games of the season, in the opinion of beat writer Jonathan Alexander.

Footballguys view: He hasn't been seen out at practice, nor has he worked off to the side, which would indicate he's not two to three weeks away from returning from the foot or ankle injury he suffered in the offseason. Nick Chubb will be the lead back for the Texans until Mixon is healthy which may last a month into the regular season.
