  Cowboys | Miles Sanders considered primary backup    Sun Aug 31, 03:54 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Miles Sanders is listed as the primary backup to RB Javonte Williams on the team's first unofficial depth chart ahead of the Week 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Footballguys view: Fifth round speedster Jaydon Blue is the #3 back and seventh round power back Phil Mafah is on injured reserve with a designation to return because of a shoulder injury. Williams is the Cowboys back to play if you need to dig deep for a starter in Week 1, but don't expect much vs. the Eagles. This pecking order is subject to change, and Dallas could seek to trade for another back once they see this trio in action.

  Cowboys | Jaydon Blue listed as No. 3 tailback    Sun Aug 31, 03:51 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (ankle) is listed as the No. 3 tailback on the team's first unofficial depth chart ahead of the regular season. He had been dealing with an ankle injury late in training camp, and it is uncertain if that played into the decision making.

  Commanders | Hard work pays off for Chris Rodriguez    Sun Aug 31, 03:30 PM

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. spent a month and a half in Atlanta this offseason working to become faster and lighter, while focusing on strength and mobility training. Rodriguez shed weight, dropping to 222 pounds. He also worked on a program to improve his pass catching and route running. 'I like his fight,' head coach Dan Quinn said. 'I like that he really worked hard to change his body, and those are things that, when people continue to show you that, then you pay attention.'

Footballguys view: Rodriguez isn't flashy, but he has the hard-nosed downhill running style to become the first option in short yardage and to salt away wins in a committee backfield. He's the cheapest in drafts, but Rodriguez has the valuable goal line touches and could easily end up being the best fantasy option in the Washington backfield.

  Browns | Quinshon Judkins still subject to NFL discipline    Sun Aug 31, 11:26 AM

The National Football League is still reviewing the misdemeanor domestic battery case of Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins, even though there are no longer pending charges, according to league spokesman Brian McCarthy. He remains subject to discipline from the league, although no decision appears imminent.

Footballguys view: This is at least one of the reasons that Judkins hasn't signed yet. It's not clear when the league will conclude their investigation. Judkins camp and the Browns are also going to have to find a common ground to finalize changes to the contract that are called for in light of Judkins domestic violence incident and any league response to it. It's a stretch to imagine Judkins being ready to play in Week 1, and the impact he can make after that is subject to numerous variables, including the play of fellow rookie Dylan Sampson and passing down back Jerome Ford. If you take Judkins, you will have to hold him for an indefinite number of weeks before you even know what you have.

  Titans | Kalel Mullings status up in the air    Sat Aug 30, 02:46 PM

Tennessee Titans RB Kalel Mullings (ankle) may be questionable for the Week 1 game, in the opinion of TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.

Footballguys view: The Titans may have to face the Broncos in Week 1 with just Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut in the backfield. With Tyjae Spears on IR-R, Mullings is the no.3 back on the depth chart in Tennessee.

  Broncos | Blake Watson could return    Sat Aug 30, 02:20 PM

Free-agent RB Blake Watson (Broncos) is a player the Denver Broncos are interested in signing to their practice squad but have to wait at least three weeks since they originally waived him with an injury settlement.

Footballguys view: Watson, a converted receiver coming out of Memphis last year, has impressed during his time with the Broncos last year and this summer. However, he's struggled to stay healthy and would be buried on the team's depth chart. Fantasy GMs in crazy deep dynasty formats should be monitoring him.

  Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson has Pats excited    Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has the team 'ecstatic,' according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic, and Howe believes Henderson could become the lead back.

Footballguys view: Everyone should be excited by Henderson. He's a big play waiting to happen, and Henderson can flip the field anytime he touches the ball - both as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. The rookie from Ohio State is going to split time with Rhamondre Stevenson this season. In fact, many are expecting Henderson to take over in the backfield. That's why Henderson is seen by most as an RB2 with RB1 upside.

  Cowboys | Javonte William listed as starter    Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams is listed as the starter on the team's first official depth chart of the season.

Footballguys view: The Cowboys rushing attack does not strike fear into an opponent. Williams was below average as a starter for the Broncos, and that's likely what he's going to be with his new team in 2025. He's a plodding runner, good in pass protection but only decent as a receiver on screen passes. Miles Sanders and Jaydon Blue will split time behind Williams.

Free-agent WR Courtney Jackson was signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad Thursday, Aug. 28. The team also released RB Anthony Tyus III from the practice squad.

Footballguys view: Jackson was impressive for the Broncos this summer in training camp and the preseason. He's a speedy receiver with the ability to be a return man as well. In crazy deep dynasty formats we'll keep an eye on him.

  Dolphins | More on running back additions    Thu Aug 28, 04:06 PM

Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Jeff Wilson Jr. (49ers) and RB JaMycal Hasty (Patriots) were signed to the Miami Dolphins practice squad Thursday, Aug. 28.

Footballguys view: Wilson is back with the Dolphins, and he fits the system. With his speed and three-down ability, Fantasy GMs in super deep leagues should monitor his situation. If injuries strike at the position, Wilson is the type of veteran the Dolphins could turn to.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 28.

Footballguys view: Dolphins GM Chris Grier told reporters Achane is expected to play in Week 1 against the Colts. He's a speed back, so a calf injury could slow him down a bit. However, the Dolphins continue to express confidence in his status and availability. Let's circle back next week to see what Achane's practice status is.

  Titans | Tony Pollard expects heavy workload again    Thu Aug 28, 01:28 PM

Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard acknowledged Thursday, Aug. 28, that he expects to get most of the carries this season, according to a report from ESPN.com Turron Davenport. Pollard said that knowing he'll get the bulk of the carries won't change his preparation, but that 'it is a good feeling to know he'll be in for the whole game, not coming in and out, so he can be more relaxed and get into a good flow.'

Footballguys view: Tyjae Spears (ankle) is on IR designated to return, so he's out the first four weeks of the regular season. That means it's Pollard as the Titans three-down back and featured player on offense. We'll see what rookie QB Cam Ward can do, but having a rushing quarterback could help open things up for Pollard. Fantasy GMs see Pollard as a RB3/flex option.

  Dolphins | Jaylen Wright out a few weeks    Thu Aug 28, 11:29 AM

Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (leg) had surgery that will keep him out until 'Septemberish,' according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Footballguys view: Devon Achane will lead the way on the ground for the Dolphins, and with Wright missing time it opens the door for rookie Ollie Gordon. Wright is not going to miss the season, but he may struggle to earn playing time if Gordon looks good (and he's flashed this summer).

Footballguys view: We like Fairweather in super deep dynasty formats. It's takes some time for tight ends to develop in the pros, sometimes three years, but with his size/athleticism combination, there might be something there in the future.

Footballguys view: The Giants add some players here that we'll be monitoring, but only in super deep dynasty formats. Smith-Marsette is the player who could stand out here the most because of his speed. A fifth-round pick of the Vikings in 2021, the Giants are his fifth pro team.

Footballguys view: Let's keep an eye on these running backs, and Schrader is a player in crazy deep dynasty we'll monitor. Schrader was undrafted coming out of Missouri in 2024, and he's spent time with the 49ers and the Rams. He's adept at running in wide zone, and that's a system he could produce within if given the opportunity.

Footballguys view: Restrepo is the player we want to watch most here, but only in super deep dynasty formats. A college teammate of QB Cam Ward, Restrepo is a slot-only receiver who can work underneath routes. He's quicker than he is fast, but Restrepo can be a reliable target to move the chains.

Footballguys view: Miller is a quarterback we'll monitor in crazy deep dynasty formats. Undrafted out of North Dakota State, Miller has good traits as a runner in addition to his processing power as a passer. He may lack arm strength on boundary/deep throws, but there's enough moxie here to keep around as a developmental prospect.
