    Matthew Stafford Aug 6 6:50am CT
    Matthew Stafford

    Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) has missed most of training camp while dealing with a back issue. While this has caused some concern related to the veteran's availability in Week 1, head coach Sean McVay had positive news on Tuesday. McVay told reporters that Stafford is "feeling good" and "making good progress," while going on to say, "We've been able to kind of increase some things behind the scenes." Stafford is unlikely to see much work throughout the remainder of training camp, but he is likely to be under center when the Rams open the regular season against the Houston Texans. He can be treated as a low-end QB2 from a fantasy perspective.

    Roschon Johnson Aug 6 6:40am CT
    Roschon Johnson

    Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson appears to be carving out a role in new head coach Ben Johnson's offense. According to ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin, Johnson appears to be locked into the short-yardage and goal-line role thus far in training camp while also getting some work on third downs. The Bears' running-back room could become crowded as D'Andre Swift is expected to serve as the lead back, while rookie Kyle Monagai has also drawn praise from Chicago's head coach. Johnson has flashed potential over his first two NFL seasons but has also struggled to stay healthy. He could emerge as a solid target as a late-round dart-throw at the running back position in fantasy drafts.

    Jaydon Blue Aug 5 8:30pm CT
    Jaydon Blue

    Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue will "likely have a role on third down" this year, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Blue has been one of the most impressive offensive players at training camp this summer for the Cowboys. However, Javonte Williams is finally healthy and is "showing why Denver was so high on him after drafting him in 2021." Additionally, Miles Sanders has looked good, so the expectation is that Williams and Sanders will dominate early-down carries for Dallas, at least early in the 2025 campaign. Fantasy managers in 12-team leagues may not be drafting Blue this fall, but the 21-year-old should be on watch lists, especially in PPR formats. The fifth-rounder has displayed elite speed and pass-catching ability out of the backfield, which has earned him some time with first-team offense in camp.

    George Pickens Aug 5 8:20pm CT
    George Pickens

    Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated writes that it's a good sign of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens in head coach Brian Schottenheimer's offense that the coaches have been able to "move him around to different receiver spots after he was exclusively an X receiver (split end) in Pittsburgh." Pickens and CeeDee Lamb worked out together in Florida in the offseason, and new receivers coach Junior Adams "has had the two working off each other constantly to try and build culture in his room." Things didn't end well for Pickens with the Steelers, but the early signs going into his first year in Dallas are "pretty good." The 24-year-old former second-rounder has had at least 801 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons. He's going to take a back seat to Lamb in this offense, but in what should be a pass-happy scheme, Pickens has lots of upside as a WR3/flex in fantasy in his new home.

    KaVontae Turpin Aug 5 8:10pm CT
    KaVontae Turpin

    Now entering his fourth year in the NFL, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin has mostly made his mark as a return man. However, the 29-year-old will "be more involved in the offense this year than at any other time over the last three seasons," according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer, previously the team's offensive coordinator, is looking to utilize Turpin more as both a receiver and a runner. The 5-foot-9, 153-pounder set career highs in catches (31), targets (52), and yards (420) last season. He also added two receiving touchdowns and carried the ball 16 times for 92 yards. Those aren't exciting numbers, but the Cowboys believe the speedster has the explosiveness to take on a bigger role.

    Jordan Whittington Aug 5 8:00pm CT
    Jordan Whittington

    Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington flashed as a rookie in 2024 when Puka Nacua went down with an injury. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer writes that Whittington is a "tough, strong special-teamer, and has shown an ability to separate in camp." The Rams' top two receivers will be Nacua and veteran Davante Adams, but Whittington is battling for the WR3 role this summer, with Demarcus Robinson and Tut Atwell being his primary competition. The 24-year-old former sixth-rounder was also a standout at last year's camp, only to catch 22 of 28 targets for 293 yards and no touchdowns in 15 regular-season games (three starts). However, he did have 62 or more yards in each of the three games he had over 30 offensive snaps. Whittington is one to watch for now in standard-sized fantasy leagues, but he could quickly become a priority waiver addition if one of Nacua or Adams gets injured.

    Darren Waller Aug 5 7:50pm CT
    Darren Waller

    Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller will be ready for Week 1, agent Drew Rosenhaus declared. "I don't think there's any doubt that Darren will be ready for the start of the regular season," Rosenhaus told Josh Moser. Waller sat out last season after announcing his retirement, but the Dolphins surprisingly acquired him in a trade with the New York Giants in July. The 32-year-old has since ended his retirement to play for Miami, but he's on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list and working back into game shape. Waller is expected to serve as Miami's No. 1 tight end, replacing the departed Jonnu Smith. The Dolphins heavily relied on Smith last year during an 88-catch, 111-target, eight-touchdown campaign. That could bode well for Waller if he's still capable of serving in a starting role. In 2023, his most recent season, he played in 12 games and caught 52 of 74 targets for 552 yards and a touchdown.

    Adonai Mitchell Aug 5 7:40pm CT
    Adonai Mitchell

    Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is starting to look like a star at training camp, according to Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star. Mitchell struggled with drops in the first week of practices, but he's put that behind him and is now having a strong summer heading into the preseason opener this week. The 22-year-old former second-rounder (52nd overall) in 2024 had only 23 receptions on 55 targets for 312 yards and no touchdowns in 17 games (seven starts) in his rookie campaign. It's not a surprise that Mitchell struggled given the inconsistency at the quarterback position for the Colts last year, but the problem is it might not get much better in 2025. He'll be battling for the WR3 role next to Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs. Mitchell is one to keep an eye on, but given that volume and efficiency could be problems, he'll go undrafted in 12-team fantasy leagues.

    Jaxson Dart Aug 5 7:40pm CT
    Jaxson Dart

    Offseason free-agent addition Jameis Winston is listed as the New York Giants' No. 2 quarterback behind starter Russell Wilson on the team's first unofficial depth chart. First-round pick Jaxson Dart, the 25th overall selection from Ole Miss, checks in at No. 3 ahead of Tommy DeVito. It doesn't come as a surprise that Winston is second on the depth chart, though Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News notes that the rookie has typically gotten second-team reps ahead of the veteran in practice. Wilson is sure to open the season as New York's starter, but either Winston or Dart could grab the No. 2 job with a strong preseason. The Giants open their exhibition schedule in Buffalo on Saturday.

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba Aug 5 7:30pm CT
    Jaxon Smith-Njigba

    The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar writes that Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba "plays everywhere" and is a "threat everywhere." Additionally, he's being targeted from everywhere in training camp practices. The 23-year-old former 20th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Ohio State broke out in his second year in the league in 2024 and was Seattle's most productive wideout, outshining both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett with 100 catches on 137 targets for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns in 17 games (16 starts). Heading into his third year, he'll share targets with newcomer Cooper Kupp with both Metcalf and Lockett no longer in town. It's great news that JSN is being targeted all around the field, but will he be as effective with new quarterback Sam Darnold. Fantasy managers should be willing to pay the price of a WR2 to find out.

    Micah Parsons Aug 5 7:30pm CT
    Micah Parsons

    Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters on Tuesday that he's unsure if superstar pass-rusher Micah Parsons will play in the team's Week 1 matchup on Sept. 4 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. Parsons hasn't fully participated in any of the Cowboys' training camp practices, and he publicly requested a trade last Friday. However, Jones has been insistent that the Cowboys are not trading Parsons, who's entering the last season of his contract and wants a new deal. If the standoff continues into the regular season, it would cause major harm to the Cowboys' defense. Parsons has amassed between 12 and 14 sacks in each of his four seasons in the league. On the other hand, Parsons' absence would be great news for the Eagles' offense and fantasy managers who are relying on any of the reigning Super Bowl champions' skill players in Week 1.

    Keenan Allen Aug 5 7:20pm CT
    Keenan Allen

    Free-agent wide receiver Keenan Allen has agreed to a one-year, $8.52 million contract with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media. Allen, 33, spent the first 11 years of his career with the Chargers after going in the third round of the 2013 draft. He became one of the most productive players in franchise history, hauling in 904 passes and 60 touchdowns while earning six Pro Bowl nods. Allen went to the Chicago Bears via trade before last season and posted respectable production with 70 grabs, 744 yards, and six scores, but he remained on the open market for several months. He's now reuniting with quarterback Justin Herbert and giving him another significant receiving weapon to join Ladd McConkey (undisclosed), who hasn't practiced as a result of an undisclosed injury. McConkey should be fine, but the Chargers still found themselves in need of help after the recent retirement of Mike Williams. Allen visited the Chargers last week, and head coach Jim Harbaugh publicly expressed a desire for the team to sign him. Harbaugh got his wish. Based on Allen's track record and his rapport with Herbert, he should continue to be an asset for fantasy managers.

    Travis Hunter Aug 5 7:20pm CT
    Travis Hunter

    While speaking on the Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said he wouldn't be surprised if rookie first-round two-way player Travis Hunter won both Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2025. The Jaguars traded up to No. 2 overall to select the 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner out of Colorado back in April, and they made it no secret that they absolutely plan on using Hunter on both offense and defense in his first year in the league. Jacksonville prioritized Hunter learning the offense this spring and early in training camp, but he's now working on both offense and defense every day at practice. Hunter should have close to a starter's workload on offense right away, which means he could be the WR2 right away behind Brian Thomas Jr. Still, Hunter could be a boom/bust WR3/flex as more of a specialist on offense than a staple.

    Hunter Renfrow Aug 5 7:10pm CT
    Hunter Renfrow

    Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hamstring) is running and cutting, but Canales doesn't want Renfrow practicing just yet. The Associated Press' Steve Reed says it sounds like the Panthers are just being extra cautious with a veteran wideout that didn't play at all in 2024 due to health issues. Renfrow is unlikely to play in the team's preseason opener this week, but barring a setback with his hamstring, he has plenty of time to get ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. He has missed a week's worth of training camp practices, which isn't exactly helping his cause as he looks to win a roster spot going into the regular season. Renfrow is a slot specialist but could be behind both Adam Thielen and rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. at the position if he makes the active roster.

    Joe Flacco Aug 5 5:30pm CT
    Joe Flacco

    Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco will not play in the team's preseason opener on Friday against the Carolina Panthers, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Injured QBs Kenny Pickett (hamstring) and Dillon Gabriel (hamstring) also will not play, leaving fifth-round rookie Shedeur Sanders to get the start despite the fact that he hasn't taken a single rep with the first-team offense during training camp. Tyler Huntley, who was signed on Tuesday, will back up Sanders on Friday night. The 40-year-old Flacco is a strong favorite to win the QB competition this summer, especially since Pickett hasn't been able to participate in team drills of late. Flacco made some noise in 2023 and helped lead the Browns to the playoffs, but the veteran gunslinger will have a short leash as the starter and will have little fantasy upside as a low-end QB2.

    Jonnu Smith Aug 5 5:30pm CT
    Jonnu Smith

    Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) left Tuesday's training camp practice early with knee soreness, but head coach Mike Tomlin said it doesn't seem like a serious injury. Smith himself downplayed his injury when talking to reporters, so it's likely the 29-year-old will be back on the field in a few days. He had a career year in 2024 with the Miami Dolphins and made his first Pro Bowl appearance while catching 88 of his 111 targets for 884 yards and eight touchdowns in 17 games (six starts). Smith was the beneficiary of Miami's disappointing dink-and-dunk offense a year ago, and fantasy managers reaped the benefits. A year later after his trade from Miami to Pittsburgh, Smith is going to go undrafted in standard-sized 12-team leagues as he attempts to split playing time with Pat Freiermuth. Freiermuth is expected to be the team's primary pass-catching option at TE.

    Geno Smith Aug 5 5:20pm CT
    Geno Smith

    Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said that the team will play their starters in the preseason opener on Thursday night against his former team, the Seattle Seahawks. "Everyone will be ready to go," Carroll said. The Raiders are choosing to get their starters more experience right away in the preseason after trading for quarterback Geno Smith this offseason. Smith made the Pro Bowl in 2022 and 2023 and has worked with Carroll before, but in terms of his weapons alone, the move from Seattle to Vegas was a downgrade fantasy-wise. The Raiders could be much more of a run-first offense with first-round running back Ashton Jeanty now in town under new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Outside of tight end Brock Bowers and receiver Jakobi Meyers, Smith isn't going to have a ton to work with through the air. Consider the 34-year-old as a low-end QB2 for superflex leagues.

    Lamar Jackson Aug 5 5:20pm CT
    Lamar Jackson

    Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry will not play in the team's preseason opener on Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts, according to head coach John Harbaugh. The head coach said the Ravens will determine if Jackson and Henry will play in any preseason games at all. Neither superstar is dealing with an injury, but the Ravens will continue to be cautious with their best players in exhibition games. The 28-year-old Jackson did not play at all in the preseason last year and still had the finest year of his career as a passer with 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns and only four interceptions in 17 regular-season games. He also rushed for 915 yards and four TDs on the ground. Jackson is RotoBaller's QB2 in fantasy, while King Henry sits as the RB5. The combination of both Jackson's and Henry's legs make Baltimore's offense elite.

    Kyler Murray Aug 5 5:10pm CT
    Kyler Murray

    Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that the team will play their starters in the preseason opener this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs, including quarterback Kyler Murray. Most NFL teams rest a lot of their starters early in the preseason, but the Cardinals are going to change it up this year and have Murray lead the first-team offense for a series or two this weekend. Receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. (knee) and Michael Wilson (concussion) might not play, although Harrison did return to practice on Tuesday. Murray has never reached the 4,000-yard mark as a passer or thrown for 30 touchdowns in any of his first six NFL seasons, but the two-time Pro Bowler checks in as a low-end QB1 because of his rushing upside. He has had at least 400 rushing yards in all but one of his seasons and carried the ball 78 times last year for 572 yards and five scores on the ground.

    From RotoBaller

    Marvin Harrison Jr. Aug 5 5:00pm CT
    Marvin Harrison Jr.

    Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (knee) was back at the team's training camp practice on Tuesday while wearing a sleeve on his left leg, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. Harrison returns after missing three practices with a sore knee. The Cardinals plan to play some of their starters for the first preseason game this Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, but Harrison could be held out as a precaution. The 22-year-old former fourth overall pick last year out of Ohio State didn't exactly live up to his high draft stock in fantasy football in Year 1, but he still finished with a 62-885-8 line in 17 games (16 starts) in his first year in the league. If the added muscle and strength that Harrison added this offseason can help him be more of a threat after the catch, he could very easily improve on last year's numbers as Arizona's WR1.
