News

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak says he's optimistic Jeanty suits up in Week 1 despite an ankle injury. Dynasty managers can exhale — the rookie RB1 appears set to open the season as Las Vegas's featured back.

Penix (knee) is progressing but the Falcons won't rush him back, with Tua Tagovailoa holding the QB1 spot as a placeholder. Tagovailoa's poor play makes Penix's eventual takeover a near-certainty, boosting his dynasty value as Atlanta's clear long-term starter.

Evans is back on the field after missing most of training camp with quad, groin, and abductor issues. He projects as a low-end WR2 for Week 1 — hold firm on his dynasty value heading into the season.

Vikings GM Nolan Teasley confirms McCarthy will be on the Week 1 roster, but spotty camp performance and an ankle injury lock him into the QB3 role behind Carson Wentz. As a likely healthy scratch, McCarthy has zero fantasy value unless both Wentz and Sam Darnold go down.

Cousins opens 2026 as Las Vegas's starter, with first-overall pick Fernando Mendoza backing him up. Cousins is a usable QB2 in superflex formats short-term, but Mendoza is the priority stash as a near-certain mid-season takeover candidate.

Brooks is managing soreness but is expected to suit up against Chicago, where he'll share the backfield with Chuba Hubbard in a committee. Dynasty managers should hold steady — Brooks remains the long-term bell-cow, but near-term value is capped until he proves he can outlast the timeshare.

Coming off a late-season Achilles injury, Kittle logged two positive practices and made the trip to Australia, putting him on track to play in the NFL's first-ever game Down Under. Dynasty managers should expect a pitch count early in the season, making him a risky low-end TE1 until he proves full health.

Shakir has missed multiple weeks of practice with an undisclosed injury but the Bills say they're being cautious, not concerned. Dynasty managers should hold but avoid reaching in late drafts until the official injury report clarifies his status.

Bond sits out Wednesday with a concussion after reportedly clearing protocol, raising doubt about his Week 1 availability against Jacksonville. Jerry Jeudy, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston project as Cleveland's starting receiver trio if Bond misses the opener.

Egbuka's lingering toe injury has him limited Wednesday, but side work signals progress toward a return. Dynasty managers need full participation by week's end — after a brutal second-half fade in 2025, his 2026 value hinges on staying healthy alongside a motivated Baker Mayfield.

Contract talks between Wilson and Arizona are progressing, with a deal potentially imminent before Week 1. The 26-year-old locked down the Cardinals' WR1 role as Brissett's top downfield target last season, making an extension a buy signal for dynasty managers.

Pacheco lands on IR with a back injury, missing at least the first four games, with a Week 5 return unlikely. Jacob Saylors inherits the backup role behind Gibbs but holds minimal dynasty value — Pacheco's timeline remains the key concern for managers rostering him.

Thomas practiced fully Tuesday after a late-camp shoulder injury, clearing the biggest concern heading into the season. He projects as Jacksonville's WR2 behind the target pecking order with a WR3 fantasy floor in Week 1 against Cleveland.

Kansas City cut Emari Demercado, leaving Walker as the only legitimate passing-down option behind a depth chart of a rookie and a gadget player. Walker projects as a full three-down workhorse in Kansas City, making him a significant dynasty asset.

Milton clears waivers and returns to Dallas on the practice squad after failing to hold a 53-man roster spot. With Sam Howell locking up the QB2 job, Milton holds no dynasty value as the team's third-string quarterback.

We haven’t had much in the way of contract beefs this offseason, but Porter Jr. seems ready to make up for lost time here. The Steelers CB spent most of training camp on the active/PUP list with a “back injury.” It seems like there’s at least a real chance he skips out on Week 1 to prove a point if he isn’t paid. - Rivers McCown

Jacobs lands on the Commissioner's Exempt List indefinitely following his May arrest on felony strangulation charges, with his return timeline tied entirely to his legal outcome. MarShawn Lloyd inherits the lead back role in Green Bay and becomes one of dynasty's top handcuff-turned-starter values.

Miller departed Tuesday's practice early but is not seriously hurt, per Nick Underhill. Coming off an ACL tear, Miller is competing for the Saints' RB2 role and serves as the primary handcuff to Travis Etienne with Alvin Kamara nursing a knee injury.

ESPN's Dan Graziano expects Hubbard to earn the majority of carries in Carolina's backfield split, citing the team's greater trust in him over Jonathon Brooks. Dynasty managers holding Brooks as the future lead back face a real threat, especially with Brooks practicing to the side Tuesday while Hubbard works in full.

Carnell Tate is working through stiffness and missed Tuesday's practice, but concern is minimal at this stage. The 21-year-old projects as Tennessee's top target, though dynasty managers should temper expectations until the Titans' struggling passing offense proves it can support his upside.

Smith and OL Sam Hagen (undisclosed) will miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. The 30-year-old Smith was a priority free agent target for the Texans. Trent Brown will likely draw the starting nod at right tackle. - Rivers McCown

GM Chris Ballard announces no in-house punishment for Allen's Sunday DWI arrest, clearing him to face Baltimore in Week 1. Allen projects as a WR4 floor given the tough matchup and uncertainty around Daniel Jones' readiness.

The groin injury that kept Croskey-Merritt sidelined for roughly a week is behind him, as he's back on the field Tuesday. He projects to play in Week 1, though some practice limitations are possible over the next two weeks.

Van Noy spent time with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores in both Miami and New England, making this a reunion for the two. The 35-year-old linebacker spent the past three seasons with the Ravens, tallying 12.5 sacks during a 2024 Pro Bowl campaign. The Vikings will start Van Noy out on the practice squad, but fans shouldn’t be surprised to see him in the middle of the Minnesota defense later this season. - Aditya Fuldeore

Blue lands in Philadelphia after going unclaimed off waivers, slotting in as the third RB behind Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley. The 22-year-old 2025 fifth-round pick is a dart throw in deep dynasty leagues, with 2026 touches the realistic best-case outcome.

Nabers has not committed to playing in Week 1, leaving his status uncertain heading into the season opener. Dynasty managers should monitor his practice participation closely — a slow start could limit his immediate-term value, though his long-term upside as the Giants' clear WR1 remains untouched.

Hunter, acquired for Tutu Atwell in the preseason, lands back in Miami as depth behind the active running back room. He holds minimal dynasty value as a practice squad player with no clear path to a roster spot.

Braswell is a former 2024 second-round pick that could not get it going with the Bucs. He now joins a formidable defense on the Texans’ practice squad. Houston also adds WR Mitchell Tinsley; he is a former Bengals preseason standout who has a path to contributing for the Texans’ injured wide receiver group. Also signed to the Texans’ practice squad are RB Jawhar Jordan, RB Noah Whittington, WR Lewis Bond, WR Josh Kelly, WR Daniel Sobkowicz, TE Zaire Mitchell-Paden, OT James Neal III, C Ka’ena Decambra, DT Dominic Bailey, LB Jamal Hill, CB Bryce Hall, CB Alijah Huzzie, and S George Odum. - Aditya Fuldeore

Morris started several games for the Chiefs at left tackle over the past three seasons before the Falcons acquired him in the offseason. Atlanta chose to part ways and now the Cowboys add Morris as tackle depth heading into the season. Also signed to the Cowboys’ initial practice squad are RB Israel Abanikanda, WR Jordan Hudson, WR Anthony Smith, TE Michael Trigg, TE Mitchell Van Vooren, OT Marcellus Johnson, OL Nick Leverett, DT Tommy Dunn, DT Elijah Garcia, DT Adedayo Odeleye, LB Justin Barron, LB Isaiah Land, LB Curtis Robinson, CB Derion Kendrick, and CB Reddy Steward. - Aditya Fuldeore

McLaughlin lands on Cleveland's practice squad behind Quinshon Judkins, Dylan Sampson, and Raheim Sanders. He's a deep stash with minimal dynasty value unless injuries strike, though the backfield lacks a proven commodity beyond Judkins.

Josh Johnson rejoins Cincinnati's practice squad as QB3, holding no dynasty value. He's a veteran emergency option only, with no path to meaningful playing time.

This is a bit surprising because the Cowboys had already had a competition for Tyler Guyton on the left side (that Guyton won), and it was assumed that Jones would come in and add to that competition. Not so fast. Steele just received a three-year contract this offseason and is on the books for a $15.2 million cap hit in 2027, so we’d be surprised if Jones won the job. - Rivers McCown

Tillman lands on New Orleans' practice squad with the Saints carrying just four healthy wideouts on the active roster, making an early elevation realistic. A practice squad signing rather than a direct roster add signals limited immediate trust, but the thin depth chart keeps him worth monitoring.

Jason Sanders, who had won the Jets kicker competition, is instead released to make way for Grupe. As we wrote about Sanders a few days ago: Winning the Jets kicker competition is not an endorsement that provides many fantasy points. Grupe will probably be stuck in the 20s in weekly ranks in most of the Jets games this year. - Rivers McCown

Cooper flashed late in training camp and projects as a slot/gadget player, splitting reps with Isaiah Williams. Bench him early, but monitor the waiver wire in shallow leagues as his role expands.

Zac Taylor confirms Chase is limited this week following last week's knee hyperextension but expects him ready by the end of the week. Dynasty managers can hold steady — no panic warranted unless limited tags persist into next week.

Dell is on IR and GM Nick Caserio's lukewarm 'close but not quite there' signals he could miss beyond the mandatory four-game window. Kayshon Boutte and Dalton Schultz step into the secondary target role behind Nico Collins in the interim.

The Dolphins traded for Kyle McCord to serve as their No. 2 quarterback, with Brady Cook also in the mix after being claimed. If Willis goes down, Miami's pass-catchers face a steep drop in fantasy value — McCord and Cook offer little upside as emergency starters.

Detroit released and immediately re-signed Conklin as roster manipulation — vested veterans bypass waivers. The 31-year-old slots in as a low-end backup behind Sam LaPorta, making him irrelevant in dynasty formats.

Mitchell hasn't practiced in over a week due to an undisclosed setback, with no clarity expected until the Week 1 injury report forces disclosure. Omarion Hampton is the direct beneficiary of any Mitchell absence and rises as a must-start if Mitchell misses time.

Warren returns to practice with a minor groin injury posing no real concern for his availability. A likely team-leader in targets, Warren projects as a locked-in TE1 with a high weekly floor in 2025.

Tampa Bay GM Jason Licht confirms no extension negotiations are underway, leaving Mayfield on a short leash through 2026. Without a new deal, Mayfield faces free agency or the franchise tag in 2027 — a contract limbo that caps his dynasty value despite ranking 11th in adjusted EPA per dropback since 2024.

Love remains questionable for the Cardinals' opener against the Chargers as he recovers from a preseason high ankle sprain. If he sits, Tyler Allgeier inherits the lead back role with James Conner on IR, making Love's status a must-monitor for dynasty managers rostering either back.

Dortch lands on Buffalo's practice squad after a surprising release from Detroit, giving him a shot in Josh Allen's passing attack. A dynasty hold-and-monitor stash — no immediate role, but his Cardinals track record makes him worth a roster spot in deeper leagues.

Stick lands in Tampa after being cut by Indianapolis, slotting in as the third QB behind Baker Mayfield and Jalon Daniels. No dynasty value at this depth chart position.

Thornton hits IR after missing a month of practice with an undisclosed injury, sidelining the 2025 fourth-round pick for at least four more weeks. Dynasty managers can stash him with a long runway, but his path to a meaningful role in Las Vegas remains unclear with no return timeline set.

Garrett continues to not practice while experiencing swelling in his knee. It sounds like this is more maintenance than anything else, as the Rams want the start pass-rusher to be ready to roll and at his best for the opener against the 49ers next week in Australia. Still, it’s something to keep an eye on. - Christopher Crawford

Metcalf and fellow new Steeler Michael Pittman are on track to suit up in Week 1, with Pittsburgh easing both into action. Dynasty managers can pencil Metcalf in as the Steelers' WR1 from the jump.

Cook lands in Miami behind starter Malik Willis and new acquisition Kyle McCord, who projects as the primary backup. A depth stash with no immediate dynasty value, but Cook escapes a bad situation after four starts with the Jets.

Dallas adds Demercado to a thin backfield currently led by Javonte Williams and Malik Davis, with the Cowboys expected to roster a fourth running back. Demercado is a handcuff-range dynasty add, with legitimate upside if the depth chart continues to turn over.

Pierce lands on Philadelphia's practice squad after losing out to Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley for a backup role behind Saquon Barkley. He holds zero dynasty value as the fourth-string option but is one injury away from emergency relevance.

The exemption timeline is a little strange. Per Pelissero, it expires on September 11th, one day after the Rams’ Week 1 game against the 49ers. Regardless, it helps the team save roster space since Donald was officially reinstated to the active roster today. - Nic Bodiford

Nacua rejoins Rams practice Sunday after missing most of August with psoas soreness, with no threat to his regular season availability. He remains a first-round dynasty asset with no exempt list risk in play.

Gabriel lands on injured reserve with a back injury, ruling him out for at least the first four weeks of the season. Dynasty managers can stash him, but he has no immediate fantasy value while Cleveland's QB room sorts itself out ahead of him.

Houston cuts Jones, who was an emergency signing after rehabbing a torn Achilles, with the Boutte acquisition rendering him expendable. Jones is a free agent with no dynasty value until he lands a roster spot elsewhere.

Tucker re-signs with the Buccaneers on a fully guaranteed $2.5M contract, slotting third on the depth chart behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell. The pay cut from his $3.52M RFA tender signals Tampa is not planning a three-way timeshare, making Tucker a low-value handcuff at best in dynasty.

Burden clears his hamstring concern ahead of Week 1, with head coach Johnson personally signing off on his status. A high-ceiling WR2/WR3 target on an offense Johnson has openly tasked with breaking the NFL scoring record, Burden is worth a dart throw in dynasty drafts.

The Chargers made multiple trades, including one right at the roster cuts deadline, freeing up a roster spot for Jefferson. The team was initially expected to cut him before their second trade. Jefferson will remain a depth option for LA’s defense. - Kyle Dvorchak

San Francisco cuts Herbert now that their backfield is healthy, ending his role as depth insurance. He's a candidate for the 49ers' practice squad but holds no dynasty value.

Kirk lands on IR after missing most of training camp with a calf injury, sidelining him for the first four weeks of the season. Even upon return, he projects as the WR4 behind Evans, Stribling, and Samuel — making him a low-priority dynasty stash.

Conner lands on IR with an ankle injury, making him ineligible to return until after Week 4. Tyler Allgeier inherits the lead back role in Arizona with Jeremiyah Love also banged up, making Allgeier a must-add in dynasty leagues.

Pittsburgh retains all four quarterbacks — Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar — heading into the regular season. Howard sits fourth on the depth chart but becomes a dynasty stash if the Steelers' 2026 season collapses and Mike McCarthy turns to his young QBs.

Beckham has secured a spot on the Giants' 53-man roster, making him a viable dynasty asset once again. Dynasty managers should add him in deeper formats as he works to reclaim his role in New York's offense.

The former 49ers and Colts special teams star will not make the roster in Houston. Another team could give him a chance, though. He totaled four special teams tackles in three games last year. - Nic Bodiford

This is unfortunate. Wills spent 2025 rehabbing knee issues stemming from the 2023 season. The former PFWA All-Rookie Team (2020) member may be able to find a backup role elsewhere in the NFL. He left practice early last week and may have suffered an injury. - Nic Bodiford

Johnson lands in Green Bay's unsettled backfield, where MarShawn Lloyd's durability is a constant concern and Josh Jacobs faces a potential suspension — making Johnson a worthwhile speculative add in deeper dynasty leagues.

New Orleans keeps Spencer Rattler as the backup behind starter Tyler Shough, rejecting trade overtures. Rattler's brief flashes as a starter aren't enough to elevate his dynasty value beyond a deep-roster stash.

The seven-year veteran last played for the Giants but was released early in the offseason. Okereke performed admirably in both pass defense and on the pass rush but struggled against the run in 2025, likely now set to fill a rotational role for a Panthers defense that completely re-tooled the interior of their second level. The financial details of the contract were not immediately made available. - Mark Garcia

Harris posted 59 scrimmage yards on 12 touches in his first action since tearing his Achilles, flashing his return to form. With the Giants viewing him as a 'significant contributor' and Tyrone Tracy exiting with an injury, Harris is the lead back to target in New York's backfield.

The Eagles' first-round rookie had a rough first outing, battling rust after a hamstring injury limited him all spring and summer. Dynasty managers can look past the ugly box score — Lemon remains a top-tier prospect worth rostering in 12-team leagues as he ramps up over the next few weeks.

After touting Ashton Jeanty as a bell cow as recently as early August, coach Klint Kubiak now signals Washington has earned significant shared carries following elite preseason play. Dynasty managers should view Washington as a FLEX-worthy asset with standalone upside if Jeanty's ankle lingers.

Alec Pierce is off the active/PUP list and targeting the season opener with 16 days to prepare. Dynasty managers should monitor his official injury report status closely — if active, he projects as a boom/bust WR3 until he proves his health on the field.

Johnson rushed 9 times for 39 yards and added 2 catches for 15 yards against Seattle, starting with KC's first-team offense while Kenneth Walker sat. He's now the frontrunner for the backup job over Emari Demercado, making him a late-round flyer worth stashing in deeper dynasty leagues.

Davis sat out Friday's preseason game while Phil Mafah ran with the first-team offense, threatening his hold on the RB2 role. With Jaydon Blue also looming as a challenger, Davis' roster security is in doubt heading into final cuts.

Tracy exited Friday's preseason game against the Jets in the second quarter but passed concussion protocol and avoids a significant setback. He remains a depth piece in a crowded Giants backfield behind Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris, and Devin Singletary, limiting his dynasty upside barring injuries ahead of him.

Sean McVay hasn't named a backup QB behind Stafford, but Simpson's 111 preseason snaps to Stetson Bennett's 62 — plus Bennett sitting out the final preseason game — signals the rookie has the edge. Simpson holds minimal dynasty value unless Stafford misses time, but monitor the final depth chart decision.

Tagovailoa completes 7-of-8 passes for 95 yards but fumbles a snap in Atlanta's preseason loss to Miami, failing to make a strong case for the Falcons' starting quarterback job.

Bell caught 2-of-5 targets for 22 yards in his first preseason action, showing comfort after his ACL tear with two sharp early catches including an 18-yard post route. With open roles on Miami's depth chart, target Bell as a late-round flier in dynasty drafts.

Robinson is not believed to have suffered a concussion, clearing a significant health hurdle for the Titans receiver. Dynasty managers can exhale — Robinson's status as a target to monitor in Tennessee's offense remains intact.

Williams is carving out a slot role as a rookie after a strong camp, but faces a crowded target share behind McLaurin, Diggs, and Okonkwo. Hold in deep dynasty leagues — meaningful fantasy production is unlikely in 2025.

Henderson's ankle injury is not serious and he's expected to play against the Seahawks in Week 1. He remains in a backfield competition with Rhamondre Stevenson for the starting role, making him a hold-and-wait dynasty asset with upside if he wins the job.

Returning from a groin injury that cost him most of August, Bell caught 7-of-10 targets for 49 yards and added a 28-yard end-around touchdown against Pittsburgh, showing the Bills are invested in fast-tracking his development. The fourth-round rookie is a hold-not-yet-add in 12-team dynasty leagues, but his route running and usage in Thursday's game make him a legitimate watchlist target heading into the regular season.

LaPorta is fully practicing and caught passes from Jared Goff in Friday's scrimmage, putting his hip issue to rest. He enters 2025 as a locked-in TE1 in Detroit's high-powered offense — hold with confidence in dynasty.

Gonzalez employs the same agent as Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon, who recently reset the positional market at $33 million per year. According to Schefter, the Patriots have never come close to that number. The Patriots exercised Gonzalez’s fifth-year option in April, so Gonzalez has two seasons remaining on his contract. Schefter believes that if the two sides fail to agree on a new deal early in the year, it “opens up a whole range of options” next offseason, like a potential trade. - Nic Bodiford

Beck has been limited or absent from practice since injuring his ribs in the Hall of Fame game, costing him development time behind starter Jacoby Brissett. The missed August reps hurt his timeline, though a bad Cardinals record could force him onto the field mid-season — hold in dynasty, but don't panic.

Mike Macdonald downplayed Horton's injury concern, but skepticism is warranted given Seattle kept his season-ending shin injury quiet all offseason. If Horton misses regular season time, Rashid Shaheed becomes the primary beneficiary as Seattle's deep threat.

Andy Reid confirms Mahomes won't play against Seattle, completing a full preseason absence following his Week 15 ACL/LCL tear. No concerns warranted — he's been a full participant in camp and the hold-out is precautionary; start him with confidence in Week 1.

Rapp was released by the Bills during the offseason. The Broncos signed him a week ago but are choosing to go in a different direction. Rapp has 72 career starts, including six last year, and won’t turn 29 until later this year. He should be able to find a team before the start of the season, but it might not happen until after teams let their 53-man rosters shake out over the next week. - Kyle Dvorchak

Washington's O-line was dominated in Wednesday's joint practice with Baltimore, with beat writers calling it historically bad following Laremy Tunsil's season-ending tricep injury. Until the Commanders fix their blocking — they ranked 18th in pass block win rate last year even with Tunsil — Jayden Daniels faces a significantly elevated risk profile heading into 2025.

Reich calls Smith impressive as he enters 2026 as the Jets' starting QB following a brutal 2025 season in Las Vegas. The offense has upside if Smith stays healthy, but Reich's track record running bottom-tier offenses in Indianapolis and Carolina keeps the ceiling limited for dynasty rosters.

Austin tears his knee in Tuesday's practice, ending his season before it begins and costing him the Giants' primary slot receiver role he was set to fill. Malachai Fields is the immediate beneficiary, with Odell Beckham Jr. also in play for a roster spot if he makes the team.

Chandler misses all of 2026 with a knee injury, ending any shot at a Saints roster spot this year. The 28-year-old is a cut candidate and will need to prove his health before landing elsewhere in 2027 — drop in deeper formats.

Ferguson worked to the side at practice with soreness but is expected to suit up for the Rams' Week 1 game in Australia. Dynasty managers can hold without concern — this looks like routine maintenance.

“We’ll have to work him in slowly,” Reich concluded. Sadiq has plenty of upside, but it doesn’t sound like he needs to be on the redraft radar early in the year unless you play in a deep enough league to make stashing him worthwhile. - Rivers McCown

Ward's preseason average depth of target on completions sits at a dismal 1.2 yards, extending his struggles from a rough rookie season. His inability to push the ball downfield caps Tennessee's passing ceiling and limits the fantasy viability of every pass catcher on the roster to one at most in 2026.

Sanders enters the season as Cleveland's backup after losing the camp battle to Watson, who starts against Jacksonville. Watson's roster spot is week-to-week, making Sanders a high-priority stash — he could inherit the starting job at any point.

Watson wins the Cleveland starting job and opens 2026 as QB1 despite a shaky preseason, entering the final year of his $230M fully guaranteed deal. He's a low-end QB2 in dynasty with upside tied to weapons like Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion, and Harold Fannin.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn confirms Hall is progressing well and expected to suit up against the Titans in Week 1. Hall enters his fifth season as a fringe RB1/RB2 with another heavy workload ahead, making this a buy-the-dip moment for dynasty managers who panicked on the injury.

Moss exited Friday’s game with an apparent rib injury, but Payton said the team is choosing to make the smart decision by not practicing him. Moss totaled 57 tackles and one interception last season and has started all 31 games he has appeared in since 2024. - Zachary Krueger

Houston trades for the former LSU wideout, giving Boutte a fresh start after a failed tenure in New England. He enters a Texans receiver room with upside behind Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins, making him a speculative stash in deeper dynasty formats.

White tweaked his hamstring in joint practices with Miami and remains limited, but the injury isn't considered serious. He's locked into a passing-down role for Washington on a one-year deal, projecting as a FLEX option in PPR formats once healthy.

Stribling resumes practice with a shoulder injury, though limited to non-contact work after the 49ers tagged him day-to-day. The impressive rookie projects as a FLEX/WR3 option in dynasty and remains on track to play in Week 1 if he returns to full pads shortly.

Judkins missed two days with a nagging injury but is back on the field, easing concern after a strong camp following last season's leg and ankle injuries. He profiles as a high-end RB2 with upside — dynasty managers can hold with confidence.

Thompson ran first- and second-team reps in Thursday's preseason game before leaving with an undisclosed injury, and practiced Sunday in limited fashion. He projects as a mid-to-late-season FLEX dart throw at best, with his dynasty value hinging on full recovery and a defined role behind Johnston and Harris.

McCaffrey says the training camp absence was intentional — a structured ramp-up and rest cycle to keep him fresh for the season. He remains a locked-in RB1 with no depth chart threat.

Meyers was spotted wearing a brace on his right hand Friday and sat out Sunday's practice, raising questions about his availability early in the season. Dynasty managers should monitor closely — Meyers is competing for WR2 duties in Jacksonville and any missed time reshuffles an already unsettled receiver room.

Washington was back on the field Sunday, participating in drills and seven-on-sevens after a brief absence. The injury concern appears minor, keeping his dynasty value intact heading into a season where he looks to build on last year's breakout.

Bobo suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice and heads to IR, ending his year as a depth receiver and special teams contributor in Seattle. A career backup with 34 catches and three TDs, he holds minimal dynasty value and is a cut candidate on most rosters.

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak publicly calls out his wide receivers, saying the team is 'still looking' for accountable contributors — a direct indictment of Nailor, Jack Bech, and Malik Benson after all three disappointed in their latest game. Tre Tucker remains the only dynasty-relevant name in this group, but even he profiles as a volatile FLEX in a weak room.
