NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Sunday, September 6, 2026

Henderson was a DNP due to an ankle injury tweaked two weeks ago and is not expected to play on Wednesday, creating uncertainty around the Patriots' running back availability for Week 1.

Horton has been dealing with a hamstring injury and was limited in Sunday's practice. He did not play in preseason and missed several practices during that span, indicating ongoing recovery concerns heading into Week 1.

Patriots running back did not practice due to ankle injury tweaked two weeks ago; not expected to play on Wednesday. Availability concern heading into season.

Wide receiver dealing with hamstring injury; limited in Sunday's practice. Did not play in preseason and missed several practices during that span, creating availability uncertainty.

McVay confirmed that Puka Nacua is expected to be eligible to play in the Australia game despite questions about possible NFL discipline. When asked Sunday whether Nacua would be available, McVay answered unequivocally: 'Yeah, absolutely. That's what I've heard. I haven't heard anything differently.' Nacua will travel with the full Rams roster to Australia.

The source mentions Christian McCaffrey as the 49ers running back in the context of the Australia game matchup. The 49ers have been acclimating to the Melbourne time zone for days, in contrast to the Rams' strategy of arriving late and minimizing jet lag exposure. No specific performance projection or role information is provided.

Adams expressed confidence in the Rams' travel strategy for Australia, drawing on the team's successful London trip last season where he had three touchdowns. He stated: 'We did the same thing in London, and we went out there and handled business. We've got a lot of smart people here, a lot smarter than me, to make decisions.' Adams did not express concern about the jet lag challenge and trusted the team's preparation.

Stafford expressed confidence in the Rams' unconventional travel strategy for the Australia game, noting that the team's approach of remaining in Los Angeles until late Tuesday and flying overnight worked successfully in London last season. He stated: 'I felt like it worked out for us. I think guys enjoy being home. I feel confident in the way we're going about it, and we'll be ready to rock and roll come Friday morning.' Stafford acknowledged Australia presents a more severe time difference and longer flight than London, but backed the team's preparation plan.

Seahawks have safeties Nick Emmanwori and Ty Okada dealing with injuries? AJ Brown’s going to COOK.

Brayden Willis was signed to the 49ers' practice squad, adding depth at tight end ahead of the Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

If George Kittle has a setback during the week leading up to the 49ers' Week 1 game, Jake Tonges would benefit the most from a fantasy perspective, positioning him as a potential fill-in option at tight end.

George Kittle (Achilles) is expected to practice Monday at AAMI Park in Melbourne, Australia ahead of the 49ers' Week 1 game Thursday, Sept. 10, against the Los Angeles Rams. As long as Kittle makes it through practice unscathed on Monday, he'll be in line to play in the regular season opener; however, he still has to make it through Tuesday and Wednesday without setbacks. Fantasy managers can be optimistic but should wait to see him on the practice field without any setbacks before finalizing lineups.

Coach Sean McVay said he expected receiver Puka Nacua to play against the 49ers in the opener; however, Nacua is being investigated by the NFL regarding an off-the-field incident and could face suspension if the league determines he violated the personal-conduct policy.

Receiver received 36% of votes in young player watch poll; Sean Payton highlighted Bryant's consistency and strong hands, noting his exceptional yards-after-catch production due to rarely leaving his feet to make catches and maintaining ground contact through routes; Payton praised his intelligence, suddenness, size, and overall camp performance.

Rookie running back selected as top young player to watch in SBNation Reacts Poll; Sean Payton praised Coleman for not looking like a rookie in early camp and believes the Broncos' run game is further along than in his previous three years, citing improved depth in both offensive line and backfield groups; preseason performance brought optimism for a revived Denver running game.

Receiver received 36% of poll votes as top young player to watch; Sean Payton has been notably high on his progress this offseason and preseason, specifically praising his consistency, strong hands, yards-after-catch ability, intelligence, and size; Payton noted Bryant 'rarely does he have to leave his feet to make a clean catch' and that his feet stay on the ground as he runs through the ball, resulting in noticeably different yards-after-catch production; Payton emphasized Bryant's intelligence, suddenness, size, and consistency during camp.

Rookie running back selected as top young player to watch in SBNation Reacts poll; Sean Payton praised his preseason performance and development, noting the Broncos' run game is further along than in his three prior years with the team; Payton said early in camp that Coleman 'did not look like a rookie,' suggesting advanced maturity and readiness; the source frames Coleman as central to a potentially revived Broncos running game under Payton's scheme.

If he’s active - are you starting Emeka Egbuka (toe) in Week 1?

Wide receiver depth piece recommended for cut; on a strong team, unlikely to become an every-week starter, making him expendable for upside plays. The source advises cutting Trey Tucker in favor of high-upside rookies like Dejon Stribbling, reasoning there's no world in which Tucker makes a big difference or turns into an every-week starter.

Still not practicing, creating uncertainty about the backfield hierarchy; if Henderson remains out, Raandre could remain the better running back option, making a trade of Raandre for David McGomery risky. Henderson's return status is critical to the backfield pecking order.

Trading Tee Higgins for Chris Alave is identified as a 'clear upgrade,' recommending the trade away from Higgins.

The source states it would be 'the most surprising thing in the world' if Keaton Mitchell beat out Amari and Hampton in the Ravens backfield, indicating Mitchell has minimal path to significant playing time and should be dropped for higher-upside options like Chris Rodriguez.

The source identifies Jalin Hyatt (J Mo) as part of a strong wide receiver depth chart in a two receiver, one flex league, alongside St. Brown, Parker Washington, Quinton Johnson, and Jaden Reed.

The source identifies Jalen Coker (Burden) as one of several startable wide receiver names on a roster in a double flex league, part of a phenomenal wide receiver depth chart that includes Lamb, Diggs, Pickens, and Christian Watson.

The source identifies George Pickens as one of several startable wide receiver names on a roster in a double flex league, part of a phenomenal wide receiver depth chart that includes Lamb, Diggs, Burden, and Christian Watson.

Alave is recommended as a trade target in exchange for Tee Higgins, characterized as a 'clear upgrade.'

Elite wide receiver anchor on a strong fantasy team alongside Tiggins and Luther Burton, with rookie upside depth like Tate Lemon; gives the team a significant advantage in a two-receiver, one-flex format.

Tucker Craft is mentioned as a potential tight end upgrade target. Flock Fantasy suggests that if multiple running backs hit, the owner could trade Jaylen Warren to acquire Tucker Craft as an upgrade at tight end.

Sam Leaporta is discussed as a potential tight end upgrade target via trade. Flock Fantasy suggests that if multiple running backs hit, the owner could trade Jonathan Brooks to acquire Leaporta as an upgrade at tight end. Alternatively, the source mentions combining Brooks and Leaporta to target Tyler Warren as a premium tight end option.

RJ Harvey is part of a strong running back committee providing depth and production. Listed among running backs with uncertain week-one expectations but with a chance to hit; the source indicates there is a damn good chance that multiple running backs on this roster (including Harvey) will produce.

Lamar Jackson is recommended as an elite quarterback target in eight-team league trades. The source suggests trading Dak Prescott and Cardell Tate to acquire Lamar Jackson, then picking up Jordan Addison or another running back from waivers. This reflects the source's strategy that in eight-team formats, upgrading to elite quarterback tier is worth the cost because waiver depth is easily accessible.

In an eight-team league, Jordan Addison is available as a waiver pickup option. Flock Fantasy notes that after trading Dak Prescott and Cardell Tate to acquire Lamar Jackson, the owner can easily pick up Addison or another running back from waivers, reflecting the strategy that in shallow formats, upgrading to elite quarterback tier is worth the cost because waiver depth is easily accessible.

Cardell Tate is identified as a depth piece the owner can trade away alongside Dak Prescott to upgrade to Lamar Jackson in an eight-team league. The source suggests this trade path as part of a broader strategy to upgrade quarterback to elite tier while leveraging waiver depth.

Tyler Warren is listed as the primary tight end option in week one flex scenarios, indicating he is a locked-in starter. Flock Fantasy also suggests him as a premium tight end upgrade target via trade combinations (Brooks and Sam Leaporta), indicating he is viewed as a valuable acquisition in league formats with strong receiver depth.

Mike Washington is described as a 'pure handcuff villain' with no standalone value. He is only worth playing in flex if Ashton Gentry misses; if Gentry plays, there is no world in which Washington could be played in flex. However, if Gentry is out, the source would prioritize Mike Washington over Quentin Johnston in the flex slot.

Flock Fantasy strongly prefers Breece Hall over Dobbins in a trade, stating 'I would way rather have Breece here again.' Hall is also listed as the primary running back option in week one flex scenarios when Ashton Genty is unavailable, indicating he is a locked-in starter for the Jets.

Justin Herbert is offered in a trade package (Herbert, Puka Nacua, Kairen Williams) for Jamar Chase and Jaden Daniels. Flock Fantasy evaluates the quarterback upgrade from Justin Herbert to Jaden Daniels as only a 'slight bump' and advises against the overall trade because Kairen Williams is too expensive to give up. The source recommends instead trading Dak Prescott and Kairen to upgrade to Josh Allen, or trading Dak and Cardell Tate to get Lamar Jackson, then picking up waiver depth.

Listed among the Lions wide receiver depth options alongside St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Quinton Johnson, and Jaden Reed; source characterizes the group as 'damn good' but does not recommend waiverwire pivots to depth pieces. Parker Washington is part of a strong wide receiver group in a two receiver, one flex league; the source would not make waiverwire pivots away from this receiver core. The source identifies Parker Washington as part of a strong wide receiver depth chart in a two receiver, one flex league, alongside St. Brown, Jalin Hyatt, Quinton Johnson, and Jaden Reed.

Jameson Williams is listed as a core wide receiver option in week one flex considerations as part of a strong Lions receiver group. Flock Fantasy characterizes the group as 'damn good' and does not recommend waiverwire pivots away from this depth, indicating Williams is a locked-in starter.

Listed among the Lions wide receiver depth options alongside St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Parker Washington, and Quinton Johnson; source characterizes the group as 'damn good' but does not recommend waiverwire pivots to depth pieces. Jaden Reed is part of a strong wide receiver group in a two receiver, one flex league; the source would not make waiverwire pivots away from this receiver core. The source identifies Jaden Reed as part of a strong wide receiver depth chart in a two receiver, one flex league, alongside St. Brown, Jalin Hyatt, Parker Washington, and Quinton Johnson.

Listed as a core wide receiver option in week one flex considerations; source indicates he is a clear starter in the Lions offense. St. Brown is listed among the league's damn good wide receivers in a two receiver, one flex format, and the source would not make any waiverwire pivots away from him. The source identifies Amon-Ra St. Brown as part of a strong wide receiver depth chart in a two receiver, one flex league, alongside Jalin Hyatt, Parker Washington, Quinton Johnson, and Jaden Reed.

The source expects James Connor to occupy an injured reserve slot, implying he is unavailable or limited for week one play.

Flock Fantasy identifies Brian Thomas Jr. as a legitimate trade target and part of a strong wide receiver group. The source suggests exploring a deal to acquire BTJ by trading Dak Prescott and Jakobi Meyers as a way to upgrade the wide receiver position, and notes he is part of a 'damn good' wide receiver core that should not be traded away.

Luther Burden is identified as a legitimate trade target; the source suggests that acquiring Burden by trading Joe Burrow and Jakobi Meyers would be 'a legitimate no-brainer,' indicating strong value in acquiring Burden from a team with weak QB depth (Goff and Daniel Jones). Burden is also listed as a core wide receiver on a strong fantasy team and is mentioned as a potential trade piece to acquire elite QBs like Josh Allen.

Stefon Diggs is a core starter in this team's week-one lineup in a start-eight format, but Flock Fantasy flags significant risk given weak wide receiver depth; if Diggs underperforms, the bench options are insufficient to fill the gap. The source identifies this as a key concern: "the big concern that I would have here is like our current team doesn't have the skill, positional, depth to survive a situation in which like Jaylen Warren and/or Stefon Diggs doesn't work out." The source advises trading away Stefon Diggs (along with Rome) for Ladd McKey, indicating the trade makes clear sense and should be executed without hesitation.

Jaylen Warren is a core starter in week-one lineup in a start-eight format, but the source flags significant risk given weak running back depth; if Warren underperforms, bench options (Taji Spears, Naji Harris, Shawn Tucker) are insufficient to fill the gap. Warren is listed as RB2 on paper with uncertain role entering the season, as multiple running backs (Brooks, Harvey, Marshon Lloyd) could hit, making his production reliability uncertain. The source suggests holding him as a potential starter while waiting to see if other RBs produce, with the possibility of selling him later if multiple RBs produce.

Flock Fantasy recommends playing Joe Burrow over Dak Prescott every week in a single-QB format, stating "I would almost rather just jam Burrow every single week." Burrow is the preferred QB to roster and play consistently because Dak lacks trade value to upgrade other positions; Dak cannot easily be flipped for significant upgrades at running back or wide receiver.

Dak Prescott is identified as a non-elite quarterback the owner can trade away to upgrade to elite tier in an eight-team league. The source suggests two specific trade paths: (1) trade Dak Prescott and Kairen Williams to get Josh Allen, or (2) trade Dak and Cardell Tate to get Lamar Jackson. In both cases, the owner can then pick up waiver depth to offset the trade. However, the source also notes that Dak lacks significant trade value in this roster context; he cannot easily be flipped for major upgrades at running back or wide receiver, making him difficult to move in a single-QB format where both he and Burrow are rostered.

The source advises against targeting Jaden Daniels in the mid-tier quarterback range, stating: 'I don't think we should be stopping at like the Jaden Daniels, the Jaylen Herz range. I don't know if that actually does that much for us.' In eight-team league strategy, the source recommends targeting higher-tier elite quarterbacks like Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson instead of stopping at Jaden Daniels. Additionally, Jaden Daniels is rostered alongside Jared Goff; the source suggests that in this league with knowledgeable league mates and barren waivers, rostering a second QB is not necessary.

Puka Nacua is being offered as part of a trade package (Puka, Kairen Williams, and Justin Herbert) for Jamar Chase and Jaden Daniels in an eight-team league. Flock Fantasy evaluates the receiver upgrade from Puka Nacua to Jamar Chase as only a "slight bump" but advises against the overall trade because the cost (Kairen Williams) is too high. The source suggests the owner should instead focus on upgrading quarterback to elite tier while holding Kairen, as waiver depth (Jonathan Brooks, R.J. Harvey, Blake Corum available) makes it easier to absorb a QB upgrade trade.

Jamar Chase is the receiver being acquired in a proposed trade where the owner gives up Puka Nacua, Kairen Williams, and Justin Herbert. Flock Fantasy evaluates the receiver upgrade from Puka Nacua to Jamar Chase as only a "slight bump," indicating modest improvement at the position but not sufficient to justify the overall trade cost.

Jordan Tyson is identified as a high-upside waiver wire pickup that the source would prioritize over Jawan Johnson; the source suggests he should be rostered and potentially placed in an IR slot if available, indicating strong conviction in his upside potential. The source recommends cutting Jawan Johnson to pick up Jordan Tyson as a free acquisition.

Jawan Johnson is not a viable starter at tight end and should be cut from the roster. Flock Fantasy states there is no scenario in which Jawan Johnson would be played over Colston Loveland, establishing Loveland as the clear primary tight end option. The source recommends dropping Jawan and picking up a high-upside waiver wire piece like Jordan Tyson instead, noting that other available tight ends like Chig, Terence Ferguson, and AJ Barner would not be significantly worse alternatives.

Christian Watson is rostered as a core piece in a two-receiver, one-flex league format alongside Zay Flowers, Jaylen Waddle, and Quentin Johnston; Flock Fantasy notes that receiver depth does not matter as much in this league structure, but Watson is included as part of a solid wide receiver group. In a double-flex format, Watson is identified as one of several startable wide receiver names on the roster, part of a phenomenal depth chart that includes Lamb, Diggs, Pickens, and Burden.

Katon Mitchell is a preferred handcuff option over Roshan Johnson; the source would pick up Mitchell as a more valuable handcuffed running back in this roster construction. Mitchell is taking up a roster spot, likely as a handcuff or backup option.

DeAndre Swift's recent injury scare turned out to be nothing; it was just a cramp, alleviating prior panic about his availability and status.

Khalil Herbert still has a knee injury as of the episode timestamp. However, the source acknowledges the injury status but does not view it as a major concern for roster construction at this time.

Christian McCaffrey anchors a strong running back committee alongside Chase Brown, Jaylen Warren, and RJ Harvey, providing elite production and depth in a two-receiver, single-flex format. The source values this RB foundation as a solid roster anchor.

Colston Loveland is the clear starter at tight end with no scenario in which Jawan Johnson would be played over him, establishing Loveland as the primary tight end option. In a single-flex format, Loveland provides solid position depth and stability, though not at the elite tier of Brock Bowers. Flock Fantasy suggests he could be a trade target via combination packages like Tutin and Sam Leaporta.

The source lists Jadarian Price as part of a strong running back depth chart in a double flex format, indicating he is a depth piece on a roster that crushes at running back.

The source lists D'Andre Swift as part of a strong running back depth chart in a double flex format, indicating he is a depth piece on a roster that crushes at running back.

Brock Bowers is identified as an elite tight end providing significant league advantage. Flock Fantasy would offer T. Higgins and George Kittle to acquire him, and notes that having Brock Bowers gives the team owner a massive edge over league mates, making him a cornerstone asset worth pursuing via trade.

Trey McBride is identified as an elite tight end target worth acquiring via trade. Flock Fantasy would offer Lad McConi and George Kittle to acquire him, though acknowledges the offer is unlikely to be accepted, indicating McBride is undervalued relative to his tier in this league.

Josh Allen is identified as an elite quarterback target worth trading for; Flock Fantasy suggests he is undervalued relative to his tier and worth acquiring via trade in a depth-rich roster. The source recommends trading Dak Prescott and Kairen Williams to acquire Josh Allen, noting that even if you lose the deal on paper, you can immediately pick up Jonathan Brooks from waivers to offset the loss: in eight-team formats, depth is easily replaceable, so upgrading to elite quarterback tier is the priority.

George Kittle is a strong roster piece coming off a torn Achilles; Flock Fantasy is excited about having him but notes he may be ramped up gradually, suggesting consideration of a second tight end early in the season to manage snap count uncertainty.

Caleb Williams is the team's starting quarterback in a double-flex league; Flock Fantasy considers him solid and adequate, though not elite like Josh Allen, and notes that having a top-end QB is less critical in double-flex formats where depth at wide receiver and running back is prioritized. The source suggests potentially trading Caleb Williams and Lad McConi to upgrade to Josh Allen at quarterback, indicating Caleb has enough value to be packaged in a deal for an elite QB in a depth-rich roster.

Quentin Johnston is available on the waiver wire as a strong free acquisition; Flock Fantasy recommends picking him up to backfill wide receiver depth after trading away receivers for tight end upgrades. He is part of a solid wide receiver group in a two-receiver, one-flex format alongside Zay Flowers, Jaylen Waddle, and Christian Watson. In an eight-team league context, the source would not make waiverwire pivots away from this receiver core, though in week-one flex scenarios without Ashton Genty, the source would play Mike Washington over Johnston.

Sam Laporte is identified as a viable tight end upgrade target; Flock Fantasy suggests trading Jonathan Brooks and Dalton Schultz to acquire him, particularly in a shallower league where tight end depth is limited.

Tucker Kraft is identified as an interesting mid-tier tight end upgrade target; Flock Fantasy would be willing to trade Jonathan Brooks and Dalton Schultz to acquire him.

Kyle Pitts is mentioned as a potential trade target in a package deal; Flock Fantasy suggests Jonathan Brooks and Kyle Pitts could be offered together to acquire a mid-tier tight end upgrade, though not elite options like McBride or Bowers.

Dalton Schulz is discussed as part of a potential trade package (Jonathan Brooks and Dalton Schulz) to upgrade at tight end, indicating the source views him as expendable depth.

Dalton Schultz is suggested as a potential trade package component; the source proposes pairing him with Jonathan Brooks to acquire a mid-tier tight end upgrade like Tucker Kraft or Sam Laporte. In a 10-team league, the source notes that Schultz has 'like no value' and is willing to trade him away for minimal compensation, even offering him for just $700 FAB, indicating he is viewed as expendable depth.

Travis Etienne is part of a strong running back depth chart alongside Chase Brown, positioning the team well at the position with multiple viable options.

Jonathan Brooks is identified as a successful draft hit and part of strong running back depth alongside Marshon Lloyd. The source suggests selling him in a package deal (Jonathan Brooks and Dalton Schultz) to upgrade at tight end, indicating confidence in his value as a trade asset. Additionally, Brooks is highlighted as available on waivers in an eight-team league, making him a key piece of the source's trade strategy; the source notes that even if losing a trade, you can pick up Jonathan Brooks for free on waivers, which makes the deal look better. The source emphasizes that hitting on Brooks (along with Marshon Lloyd) for free is a big reason why many top teams in the league are dominant, noting both have the upside to be top 24 running backs.

Chase Brown is part of a strong running back depth chart alongside Travis Etienne and other options, positioning the team well at the position with multiple viable options. The source praises the draft strategy, stating the team did an incredible job starting with McCaffrey and Chase Brown. Brown is listed as part of a strong running back group that includes Jonathan Brooks and Marshon Lloyd, both acquired for free with top 24 running back upside.

If Kirk Cousins underperforms through the first month, the source recommends considering alternative QB pickups like Fernando Mendoza instead of holding a struggling starter, indicating concern about his early-season performance.

Fernando Mendoza is available on the waiverwire and identified as a future starter for the Las Vegas Raiders, but the source notes this will not happen anytime soon. The source suggests considering picking him up if Kirk Cousins underperforms through the first month, positioning Mendoza as a speculative QB pickup for teams struggling at the position early in the season.

Josh Jacobs faces a suspension with uncertain duration and timeline. The source notes that if Jacobs is suspended for eight weeks or remains on the exempt list with no clarity on his return, it significantly impacts the team's running back depth strategy. The source indicates there is 'a damn good chance' Jacobs will miss a considerable amount of time, which would open opportunity for Marshon Lloyd to become viable. Conversely, if his court case results in no games missed, Lloyd becomes less trustworthy as a fantasy option.

The source identifies Trevor Lawrence as the team's starting QB in a superflex league and suggests packaging him in trade scenarios to upgrade to elite QBs like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, or Drake May, indicating the source views him as tradeable depth rather than a long-term starter. The source proposes pairing Lawrence with Garrett Wilson to acquire Josh Allen as a no-brainer upgrade.

With Trevon Henderson not practicing since August 24th and the Patriots playing Wednesday (only three days away), Rhamondre Stevenson is positioned as the must-start running back for week one. The source explicitly states there is 'a damn good chance' Stevenson becomes the primary option given Henderson's extended practice absence.

Rams WR Puka Nacua, who has been dealing with psoas soreness and also could be facing potential discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy for previous off-the-field behavior, is expected to play in Week 1 vs. the 49ers, per HC Sean McVay. [Retweeted](

Wilson was one of three new Giants quarterbacks added last year alongside Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston. The source does not provide additional details on Wilson's current role or status with the team.

Tracy Jr. missed his block during Dart's preseason appearance, allowing a crushing hit on the quarterback that forced Dart to exit the game for evaluation. This blocking miss highlights potential concerns with Tracy's execution in pass protection.

Dart briefly exited during his lone preseason appearance after taking a crushing hit when Tyrone Tracy Jr. missed his block, requiring evaluation in the blue medical tent. Winston entered the game while Dart was being evaluated. The Giants extended Winston partly to provide certainty at backup quarterback in case of injury to Dart.

Winston signed a two-year, $13 million extension with the Giants through 2028, securing his role as backup quarterback and mentor to Jaxson Dart. The extension provides the Giants certainty behind Dart in case of injury; Winston appeared in three games last season (two starts in November when Dart was injured, plus two snaps on Dec. 14), completing 37 of 66 passes for 567 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He is now logging critical reps with the second-team offense in training camp and helping Dart adjust to the new system under John Harbaugh.

The source notes David Montgomery is 29 years old and will turn 30 next offseason, leading to speculation about the Texans potentially seeking a younger replacement or a committee back.

The source identifies Corey Kiner as a solid RB3 option for the Patriots, noting they loved his college production at Cincinnati.

The source notes negative training camp rumblings regarding Isaac Teslava, suggesting he has not been performing well.

Despite a strong preseason debut, the source believes the rest of the preseason exposed the limitations in Drew Allar's game, casting doubt on his long-term outlook for the Steelers.

The source argues that Terry McLaurin is currently misused as a vertical threat, and shifting him to an intermediate role would be an upgrade that could prolong his career.

The source expects Chigoziem Okonkwo to have a solid year for the Commanders, despite the team's overall tight end situation being interesting.

Malachi Fields is projected to be a solid possession and red zone threat for the Giants, though the source notes they were initially lower on him as a third-round pick.

Ron Stewart recommends Malik Willis as a high-upside QB2 stash for managers with pocket passers, highlighting his 'Konami code' rushing ability. Willis offers the highest rushing ceiling among active quarterbacks and averaged 23.3 points per game in his last three games as a Packer with 80%+ snap shares.

Terrence Ferguson is a perfect upside stash available in 75% of ESPN leagues; he is effectively the Rams' WR3 with a tight end tag, coming off a year where he led tight ends in average depth of target (18 yards). He is a strong year-two breakout candidate.

Chris Bell is a high-upside rookie wide receiver with a tantalizing 6'2, 220-pound profile; he is a strong stash on a Miami offense that lacks a clear WR1, with a range of outcomes comparing him to elite physical receivers like AJ Brown. Ron Stewart notes he is available in 97% of ESPN leagues and possesses the highest upside among recent rookie additions.

Cyrus Allen is a crafty rookie wide receiver available in 95% of leagues; he is a strong separator who could work his way up the depth chart to earn a role attached to Patrick Mahomes, similar to Rashee Rice's rookie trajectory.

Ray Davis is a recommended handcuff running back available in 90% of ESPN leagues; he serves as the primary backup to James Cook, especially with Ty Johnson currently banged up.

Denzel Boston is a round-two prospect with rookie wide receiver upside who appears to be the starting boundary X receiver; however, his fantasy outlook is dampened by a difficult situation involving his quarterback.

Rashod Bateman is currently positioned ahead of Jacobe Lane on the Ravens' depth chart, though he has been dealing with off-field issues.

Zay Flowers is expected to suit up for Week 1 despite dealing with an injury; he remains ahead of Jacobe Lane on the depth chart. Ron Stewart notes that if managers doubt Flowers' touchdown-scoring ability, Jacobe Lane could potentially emerge as a touchdown threat in the Ravens' offense as a 6'4" contested-catch specialist.

Keaton Mitchell is a high-upside stash candidate who, despite a potential Week 1 absence, is worth holding in IR spots. He demonstrated elite efficiency with a 6.3 yards-per-carry average and big-play ability comparable to Devon Achane.

Jonah Coleman is a high-upside target in the Broncos backfield, which has seen the sixth-highest fantasy volume over the last three seasons under Sean Payton. Owned in 25.8% of ESPN leagues, he profiles as a volume-heavy back capable of handling 15+ touches per game, with prospect comparisons to Zack Moss, Kamani Vidal, and David Montgomery. His ceiling is tied to a potential J.K. Dobbins injury.

J.K. Dobbins is viewed as an injury risk entering the later stages of his career, creating a clear path for Jonah Coleman to potentially seize the primary grinder role in the Broncos' backfield.

Ron Stewart highlights Braelon Allen as a high-value handcuff available in 85% of ESPN leagues; he is the direct backup to Breece Hall and would immediately become a reliable RB2 for fantasy lineups if Hall were to miss time.

Ron Stewart views Dak Prescott as a comfortable quarterback one, advising managers to avoid rostering a backup quarterback to maximize bench depth for other positions.

Ron Stewart identifies Kyle Pitts as a reliable tight end one who does not require a backup roster spot, allowing fantasy managers to use that bench space for high-upside stashes.

Sam Darnold should test the Carlton Davis matchup against Rashid Shaheed in Week 1; the source believes if Darnold decides to really test that matchup, he will get results he likes because Davis cannot run with Shaheed.

Rashid Shaheed presents a favorable matchup for the Seahawks against the Patriots' secondary; the source did not like Shaheed versus Carlton Davis before the Super Bowl and still doesn't, noting that Davis cannot run with Shaheed and is an older corner who will struggle unless he gets his hands on the receiver. Against Marcus Jones, Shaheed could make impressive catches, but Jones is explosive enough to stay on his hip. The source believes if Sam Darnold tests the Carlton Davis matchup, he will get results he likes.

Romeo Doubs has been a red zone merchant throughout his career and continues that success with the Patriots; the source notes he has had a lot of success in the red zone, contributing to a more potent Patriots red zone offense alongside A.J. Brown.

A.J. Brown gives Drake Maye a receiver who can win even when coverage is technically sound, forcing Seattle's defense to make difficult decisions about pressure aggression; in the red zone specifically, Brown's dual-threat capability on slants and fades makes him extremely difficult to defend, and the source notes the Patriots' red zone offense looks more potent with him.

Another year in Josh McDaniel's offense provides valuable experience for the MVP runner-up; the Patriots are emphasizing tempo and getting Maye to the line of scrimmage with different call types (dummy calls to read coverage, then adjusting), addressing his inexperience that was exposed in Super Bowl 60 when he panicked under pressure and the offense became predictable.

Rashid Shaheed has improved since the Super Bowl and presents a significant matchup problem for the Patriots secondary, particularly against Carlton Davis. Unless Davis can use his hands to disrupt Shaheed at the line, he cannot match Shaheed's speed; if Sam Darnold tests this matchup, the source expects favorable results for Seattle. Shaheed's elite athleticism makes him a threat to exploit New England's cornerback depth.

Drake Maye, the MVP runner-up, enters Year 2 with significant talent additions around him and another year in Josh McDaniel's offense to build experience. The Patriots are emphasizing tempo and pre-snap reads to address the inexperience that was exposed in the Super Bowl, where Maye struggled with decision-making under pressure and predictability when the run game stalled.

Romeo Doubs was added from Green Bay to strengthen the Patriots' receiving corps and red zone offense. He has been a red zone merchant throughout his career and brings proven success in the end zone, complementing A.J. Brown to make New England's red zone attack more potent heading into Week 1.

The Patriots made an aggressive move for A.J. Brown to address red zone deficiencies from the Super Bowl loss. Brown gives Drake Maye a receiver who can win even when coverage is technically sound; his dual-threat profile on slants and fades creates a difficult defensive puzzle for Seattle, forcing the Seahawks to choose between aggressive pressure and protecting against explosive plays.

Jaxson Dart was sacked 35 times in 14 games during his rookie campaign (2024), indicating significant pass-protection concerns; the Giants' extension of Jon Runyan is framed as an effort to better protect Dart this season, suggesting the offensive line remains a vulnerability despite the investment.

Strand, an undrafted rookie from Division-II Minnesota Moorhead and 2025 D-II All-American with 13,161 career passing yards and 126 touchdowns, could potentially start for the Falcons against Pittsburgh in Week 1 if starter Marcus Penix Jr. is unavailable; the Falcons may feel comfortable deploying him after Tua Tagovailoa's preseason struggles.

Tagovailoa failed to win the starting quarterback job for the Falcons ahead of Week 1 against Pittsburgh; his preseason performance was reportedly deemed 'impossible' to start by the team, per Ian Rapoport, leaving the Falcons' QB situation unsettled one week before kickoff.

Tagovailoa did not win the Falcons starting job and has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Steelers. His preseason performance was reportedly deemed 'impossible' to start by the Falcons, per Ian Rapoport, making him unavailable as a viable QB option for Atlanta's season opener.

Strand, a rookie from Division-II Minnesota Moorhead and undrafted free agent, is a potential Week 1 starter for the Falcons against the Steelers if Penix is unavailable. The Falcons have not yet named a starter one week before the game; with Tua Tagovailoa ruled out and Rush serving as backup, Strand could be elevated to first-team preparation if Penix cannot play. Strand finished his college career with 13,161 yards and 126 touchdowns and was a D-II All-American in 2025.

Jaxson Dart is the clear starter for the Giants, with Jameis Winston agreeing to a two-year extension as his backup through 2028. This solidifies Dart's position as the franchise's primary quarterback.

Winston agreed to a two-year, $13 million extension with the Giants, putting him under contract through 2028 as the clear backup to Jaxson Dart. The extension keeps him in a backup role rather than testing free agency in March 2027, when he could have potentially competed for a starting opportunity elsewhere.

Stefon Diggs, who wore the No. 8 jersey as a leading wide receiver for the New England Patriots' 2025 campaign, was cut in March and has since joined the Washington Commanders, vacating his roster spot and jersey number.

Former Patriots leading wide receiver who wore No. 8 jersey and was a significant part of New England's 2025 campaign; was cut by the Patriots in March and has since joined the Washington Commanders; Borregales noted having a great relationship with Diggs and expressed belief he will perform well in Washington.

Article's conditional framing hinges on Henderson's ankle injury preventing Week 1 play. Community debate: Henderson has elite straight-line speed and game-breaking talent (multiple 50+ yard TD runs last year) but cannot block effectively, which limits his role in pass-pro situations and goal-line work. Rookie season: 1,100 all-purpose yards, 10 TDs, 5.06 YPC—comparable to Stevenson—but benched for Stevenson late in season when healthy. Coaches prioritize Stevenson's pass-blocking over Henderson's explosiveness to protect young QB Maye. Some managers drafted Henderson in 4th round expecting lead role; others note he was drafted as RB2 but struggled between the tackles. Ankle injury expect...

Article claims Stevenson is 'clear-cut starter' conditional on Henderson's ankle injury; community confirms he's the lead back in pass-pro and passing situations. Drafted as RB26 on ESPN but multiple managers report getting him in 5th–6th round as RB3/RB4, viewing him as value steal. Rookie season: 1,100+ all-purpose yards, 10 TDs, 5.06 YPC (compared favorably to Gibbs' 1,300 yards/11 TDs and James Cook's rookie output). Averaged 4.6 YPC last year (17th in NFL); led league in rushing yards over expected per carry. Concerns: fumble history (though less frequent recently); low ceiling as non-explosive runner. Coaches trust him in short yardage and goal-line; Patriots' new coaching staff vie...

The source traded for Garrett Wilson mid-season while rolling the league, but the trade backfired when Jordan Love posted a goose egg in week one of the playoffs, leading to a playoff loss. This represents a cautionary tale about mid-season trades and overconfidence in receiver value.

Trevor Lawrence is rostered in a superflex league alongside another quarterback, indicating he is a backup quarterback option in the league without specific commentary on his performance or role.

Javante Williams was drafted at 9.6 in the previous year of this keeper league, providing context for his value trajectory and keeper status.

The source lists Josh Downs as a potential flex starter option, indicating he is on the roster but without specific commentary on his role or usage.

The source mentions Jalen Coker as a potential flex starter option alongside other running backs and receivers, indicating he is on the roster but without strong conviction about his role or usage.

The source plans to cut or trade Puka Nacua despite drafting him, stating 'definitely no way I keep Paw and Higgins all year,' indicating concerns about durability or role sustainability. Nacua is ranked lower than Ja'Marr Chase in the source's personal rankings, though both are discussed as elite receiver trade targets.

The source identifies Mitchell as a late-round flyer at wide receiver and expresses genuine interest in the pick, stating he really likes the idea of taking Adonai Mitchell as a value target.

The source drafted Allen over Chris Bell in the last round, likely to drop after week one. Routes run for Allen in week one will be a key metric to watch; the source questions whether he will take snaps from Taequin Thornton's role, noting that snaps have to come from somewhere.

The source believes Hurst has a chance to earn the boundary wide receiver role over Jaylen McMillan, who was more of a slot prospect; however, Hurst is unlikely to start week one and is more of a hold-over-the-season player rather than an immediate starter.

The source questions McMillan's overall talent level, noting a career 1.5 yards per route run and that his fantasy production has relied heavily on touchdown scoring; suggests he may not be as valuable as his draft position implies.

The source expresses frustration that another drafter took Mahomes in the home league, noting it will be funny when the drafter has to drop him; suggests Mahomes is overvalued in the draft context and represents poor roster construction. However, the source also notes Mahomes can be acquired cheaply as a late-round backup option, indicating he is available late in drafts as a streaming or depth option.

The source explicitly states he will not draft Sam Darnold this year, representing a clear fade on the quarterback. Darnold is not viewed as a lock for strong production; last year with elite receiver support (JSN), Darnold had 4,025 passing yards and added no rushing production, suggesting his ceiling is limited even with strong weapons.

The source criticizes another drafter for taking Mayfield alongside Mahomes, indicating both quarterbacks were drafted too early and will likely need to be dropped; reflects poor draft strategy. The source also mentions Baker as a possible past winning draft quarterback pick, noting a personal preference for 'Oklahoma boys' in redraft formats.

Historical reference to a past winning draft where the source believes they may have drafted Kyler as their quarterback two years ago when he was performing adequately.

Goff has a favorable early-season schedule with home games against the Saints and Jets, though the source expresses concern about a road matchup against the Bills. Despite this, the source drafts Goff as a 'slam dunk' with 'no stress,' indicating confidence in his overall value. Goff throws for high volume annually ('like a billion yards every single year'), but the source notes a lack of receiver support on the Lions limits his fantasy appeal despite the passing volume.

The source received confirmation that Swift's injury is nothing serious, though more information will be available the following day, suggesting Swift's injury status is not a major concern.

The source explicitly states there is no chance he will hold Chris Bell all year and will cut him for sure, indicating a lack of confidence in Bell's role or availability. Additionally, the source chose Cyrus Allen over Bell in the last round, suggesting Bell was not preferred as a late-round flyer option.

The source expresses concern that Lynch was probably already on his way to getting benched, indicating skepticism about Lynch's long-term role or performance.

Limited confidence in holding Higgins long-term despite injury-related keeper potential. The source stated 'I could do Jaden Higgins as a keeper if I wanted... I probably won't even hold those guys in the IR slot all year,' indicating reluctance to commit roster space to Higgins for an extended period.

Malik Willis is a very good week one streaming option at the quarterback position; week one represents one of the best team totals for the Panthers offense, making Willis an attractive streamer for that specific week. The source also expresses genuine interest in drafting Willis as a late-round QB option, stating 'I might take Malik Willis for real,' indicating he views Willis as a viable late-round target still available.

Overlooked during draft process; source stated 'Uh I did I did forget Tyrone Tracy exists,' indicating the player was not prioritized or considered in the draft.

Ranked below Bijan Robinson as a handcuff option; source stated 'I definitely I so I do have Bsby over Algier,' indicating lower preference for Allgeier as a backup running back target.

The source prefers Bijan Robinson over Tyler Allgeier as a handcuff option, stating 'I definitely I so I do have Bsby over Algier,' indicating stronger confidence in Robinson as a backup running back target.

The source expresses hesitation about pairing Brian Thomas Jr. with Parker Washington on the same team due to roster construction concerns, and later passes on him in favor of Tucker Craft due to positional need at tight end. Additionally, the source believes Jakobi Myers will run more routes than Brian Thomas Jr. in the Jaguars offense, suggesting BTJ is falling late in drafts and may see reduced route participation relative to his teammate.

The source expresses skepticism about Mike Evans' value late in the draft, noting 'These dudes hate Mike Evans as much as I do,' but later states that if you can get Evans on roughly a league average contract, you have to do it, indicating he is good value at a reasonable price point despite late-round availability.

Samaj Perine is ranked at pick 154 on ESPN, and the source suggests ESPN is using Mike Leone's rankings, implying Perine is overvalued at that ADP.

Chris Godwin is buried in the ESPN draft interface and appears to be available later than expected in the draft, suggesting he may be undervalued or overlooked by the league.

Available at pick 132 in the draft, indicating he is still on the board at that point in the selection process.

The source identifies Matthew Golden as a good keeper league pick and plans to target him later in the draft, indicating he is undervalued relative to his keeper league utility given the two-round discount structure.

The source notes that Justin Herbert has been drafted and is off the board in this league.

The source notes that Joe Burrow has been drafted and is off the board in this league.

Mattek Fantasy Football plans to draft Jordan Tyson and stash him on IR due to injury, but expresses strong skepticism about his return timeline; consensus projects Tyson to return after week eight, but the source believes 'based on nothing but vibes' that Tyson will not play this year. Despite this pessimism, the source acknowledges his own impatience and plans to draft Tyson anyway, knowing he may cut him mid-season but also recognizing the ceiling risk if Tyson explodes late (e.g., 30 points in fantasy finals).

Mattek Fantasy Football identifies Courtland Sutton as a player who may be available uncontested later in the draft due to a wide receiver dip, suggesting he is undervalued or a target at his expected ADP.

The source lists Devontae Smith as one of the keepers already drafted in the league, indicating he was selected early and is off the board.

Mattek Fantasy Football lists Marvin Harrison among wide receivers expected to be available at the point of selection in this keeper league draft, grouping him with Christian Watson, Mike Evans, Brian Thomas Jr., and Chris Godwin as tier-comparable targets.

Jadarian Price was a draft consideration the source strongly wanted to take ('I honestly want to'), though ultimately passed on him. The source noted that Price is 'really good' for keeper leagues, suggesting strong upside potential in that format.

Chuba Hubbard was drafted in the fourth round of the source's home league draft, representing a mid-round running back selection.

The source ranks Ja'Marr Chase higher than Puka Nacua in a trade discussion context, indicating stronger preference for Chase despite both being elite receivers being discussed as comparable trade targets.

Luther Burden was a desired draft target for the source who expressed regret at being unable to acquire him, stating 'Burden definitely would have been who I wanted here,' indicating he was a priority pick that went to another team. The source characterized Burden as a strong keeper league asset.

Jaylen Waddle was a strong draft target for the source, who expressed high enthusiasm ('doing cartwheels') at the prospect of acquiring him and successfully drafted him as WR1 in the draft.

The source released a pre-season waiverwire video and placed Emett Johnson in the S tier of guys the source wanted to draft, indicating strong conviction on the player.

The source settled for DeVonta Smith after missing out on Malik Neighbors, acknowledging a significant preference gap: 'Pretty big difference to me between Malik Neighbors and Devont Smith.' The source accepted Smith as a consolation pick, saying 'Devont is a fine pick there. It's not what I wanted,' indicating Smith was a fallback option rather than a primary target.

The source ranks Mike Washington significantly higher than Tyler Allgeier as a handcuff option, stating: 'I have Mike Washington higher than Al Jer in my rankings. I think Mike Washington is a honestly a significantly better hold than Tyler Algier.' This preference reflects Washington's superior value in keeper league contexts.

The source has been taking shots on Travis Hunter in deep keeper leagues, hoping he gets a real role next year. The source noted: 'He probably is mostly going to play cornerback this year, but Jacobe Myers could be cooked next year. Parker Washington could say, "Hey, you guys are not going to give me the bag. I'm going to go play for someone else next year." There's actually a lot of ways things work out for Travis Hunter. Travis Hunter probably is a pretty good dynasty buy.' This suggests multiple pathways for Hunter to gain offensive opportunity in future seasons.

Jakobi Meyers presents a mixed outlook. The source previously suggested Myers 'could be cooked next year,' implying declining future value. However, more recent camp reports indicate Myers is getting a decent snap share in training camp and is expected to run more routes than Brian Thomas Jr. in the Jaguars offense, positioning him as a route-running asset despite long-term concerns.

Nico Collins remained available in the draft pool as a wide receiver option. The source noted Collins was still on the board alongside Laviska Shenault, positioning him as a fallback target if earlier priorities like Brock Bowers and Malik Neighbors were unavailable.

Laviska Shenault remained available in the draft pool as a wide receiver option. The source noted Shenault was still on the board alongside Nico Collins, positioning her as a fallback target if earlier priorities like Brock Bowers and Malik Neighbors were unavailable.

The source mentions that one of his league buddies mistakenly thought the league was superflex and drafted both Josh Allen and Jaylen Hurts, which the source finds humorous, indicating a draft error by another manager.

The source selected Kenneth Walker in the draft, noting that while wide receivers felt 'a smidgen overpriced,' Walker represented better value. However, the source addresses durability concerns, stating: 'I have not necessarily understood why everyone thinks Ken Walker is this big injury-prone guy. He got injured at the end of the 2024 season, but played every game last season and then missed two games in each season prior to that. By and large Kenneth Walker has frankly been a fairly durable NFL player.' His current injury is not an ankle but another lower body injury; Draft Sharks injury data shows low injury risk with 34% chance of injury per game at 2.4%.

Identified as a sneaky keeper from the prior year; the source notes surprise at the value, saying 'I would not have thought of that one. That is pretty good.' Watson represents an underrated keeper value that was overlooked. The source identifies Watson as a target in keeper league format, noting he should be available at the wide receiver position and represents good value given the two-round discount structure.

Rostered in the source's Kansas City home league as a running back option.

Kept as a last-round keeper in the source's Kansas City home league, representing strong value retention from the prior year. The source drafted Washington despite noting he was buried on the depth chart, stating 'I know he was buried, but I just wanted Parker Washington,' indicating conviction in his upside. Washington is being drafted around a half round earlier than expected, and the source expressed satisfaction at finally acquiring him in a league.

The source drafted Jacobs in his Kansas City home league and describes it as 'a little bit of a bummer,' indicating regret over the selection. Additionally, Jacobs cannot be placed on IR in Sleeper, limiting his draft utility in that platform; the length of his suspension is a key factor in evaluating backup opportunity.

Missing week one; the source notes that while Henderson should fall in draft value due to the absence, the market is likely to overreact to the one-week miss, pricing him lower than warranted.

The source ranks DJ Moore behind Jadarius Price in his personal rankings, indicating a lower preference for Moore relative to Price.

Selected 1.7 overall in a keeper league draft. The source states 'If you're not first, you're last' and identifies CMC as the clear best available option at that pick, with no realistic alternative. The source also selected him as the first pick in the home league draft, noting 'This is about as high tea of a start as you're going to get out of me.' However, the source also expresses concern about McCaffrey's availability and injury risk, noting 'Chris McAffrey could just not play' and indicating there is a strong chance he may not start week two if his backfield mates underperform in a double flex league.

The source drafted Jefferson in the first round last year and describes it as one of 'two of the worst guys you could have drafted to start your draft last year,' alongside Brock Bowers. The source states: 'I started Justin Jefferson and Brock Bowers, which um as you might imagine, did not work. Did not work to start your draft.'

Kept as a first-round pick in this keeper league.

Kept as a first-round pick in this keeper league. The source also noted that one of his league buddies mistakenly thought the league was superflex and drafted both Josh Allen and Jaylen Hurts, which the source found humorous.

Juszczyk has emerged as one of the most respected players in the 49ers' locker room and has been selected as a team captain twice over the last two seasons; he is also one of the best at his position with 10 Pro Bowl selections and three consecutive seasons as a first-team All-Pro. The 49ers released him over the offseason but soon brought him back on a two-year, $8 million deal in March.

WR Puka Nacua (psoas) is expected to play in Week 1 despite the possibility of a suspension from the NFL, per HC Sean McVay. (h/t @​NateAtkins_)

Rams RB mentioned in context of potential trick-play TD to Puka (joke comment). Also mentioned as part of Puka-Kyren stack by one drafter.

Mentioned in context of Puka-Stafford stacks; one commenter noted confusion about trick-play TD scenario (Kyren throwing to Puka). ARSB cited as alternative to JSN in top-5 WR rankings.

Puka-Stafford stack mentioned as appealing Week 1 play vs 49ers in Australia. Comments express confidence in stack potential ("will go nuclear"; "400 yards and 4 TDs"). Stafford has competent QB status noted as positive for Puka's floor.

Psoas injury; expected to play Thursday in Australia per McVay. Drafted as high as 4th overall in recent mocks/drafts, falling to 1.06–2.14 range in some leagues. Community split: bullish on talent and upside if healthy ("will go nuclear"; "130+ against the whiners"), but concerned about re-aggravation risk after three weeks on shelf pre-season and "highly re-aggravatable" nature. Suspension risk under personal conduct policy adds uncertainty. Travel to Australia for 24-hour turnaround raises injury/fatigue concerns; some debate whether jet lag will impact performance.

Evans (groin) took part in drills after missing time recently due to injury, suggesting he is progressing toward availability for Week 1.

Kittle took part in individual drills during the early portion of the 49ers' first practice in Melbourne on Monday and appears to be on pace to play in the season opener against the Rams.

McCaffrey did not take part in on-field drills during the 49ers' first practice in Melbourne on Monday, though he did speak to media; the source notes that Coach Kyle Shanahan was not obligated to submit an official practice participation report due to the unique timing of the 49ers practicing in Australia while the Rams practiced in California.

On the field for the 49ers in Week 1 against the Rams; his presence is noted as amplifying George Kittle's impact as one of the biggest net positives for the team, whether Kittle is catching passes against the Rams' weak linebacker group or neutralizing their defensive line.

Part of the backup tight end duo alongside Luke Farrell who will spell George Kittle during his first live action since his Achilles injury in the playoffs. The frequency of their usage will be monitored as an indicator of Kittle's workload management and health status.

Part of the backup tight end duo alongside Jake Tonges who will spell George Kittle during his first live action since his Achilles injury in the playoffs. The frequency of their usage will be monitored as an indicator of Kittle's workload management and health status.

Recently returned to practice after breaking his finger; entering the final year of his two-year contract at age 35. Brayden Willis's presence on the practice squad suggests the 49ers may be preparing for a potential succession plan, with Willis positioned as a logical backup fullback if Juszczyk cannot perform his usual duties or gets injured again. The team may be considering whether this will be Juszczyk's final year as a 49er.

Ready to go for Week 1 against the Rams, signaling the 49ers' confidence in his recovery from his Achilles injury suffered in the playoffs. The team's decision to waive a tight end during their game week in Australia—when they could have kept Willis as insurance—underscores their conviction that Kittle is healthy and available. Kittle is described as one of the biggest net positives for any team, excelling both as a pass-catcher and as a blocker in the running game; his impact will be amplified with Mike Evans and Brock Purdy on the field.

Waived by the 49ers Saturday to make room for long snapper Jon Weeks; went unclaimed on waivers and is expected to return to the practice squad. Willis showed positional versatility during preseason but was a 7th-round pick in 2023 with minimal regular-season production. His best offensive role is fullback, where he lined up 15 times in preseason, positioning him as a potential backup to Kyle Juszczyk (age 35, entering final year of contract). However, the primary reason for the waiver was George Kittle's readiness for Week 1, indicating the 49ers are confident in Kittle's health post-Achilles injury.

Backup tight end alongside Luke Farrell; will spell George Kittle during his first live action since Achilles injury in the playoffs. Usage patterns of the Tonges-Farrell backup duo will be monitored closely as Kittle ramps up.

Recently returned to practice after breaking his finger; entering the final year of his two-year contract at age 35. If Juszczyk can't perform his usual duties or gets injured again, Brayden Willis is positioned as his logical backup. The 49ers may be keeping Willis around as a potential successor if this ends up being Juszczyk's final year with the team, suggesting the team is planning for a fullback transition.

Ready to go for Week 1 after Achilles injury recovery; the 49ers' confidence in Kittle's readiness was the primary reason they waived a tight end during game week while playing in Australia. Kittle is positioned as the primary tight end with elite dual-threat value: recent production shows nine targets for four first downs, one touchdown, and 84 receiving yards; also described as the greatest asset as a blocker in the running game. With Mike Evans and Brock Purdy on the field, Kittle's impact increases significantly. Backup tight end duo of Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges will spell him, but his first live action since the Achilles injury will be monitored closely.

Waived by the 49ers Saturday to make room for long snapper Jon Weeks; went unclaimed on waivers. Willis showed positional versatility during preseason but has as many regular-season receptions since 2023 as a typical undrafted player. Expected to return to practice squad and potentially be elevated for Week 1 against the Rams. Best offensive contribution likely at fullback (15 snaps in preseason), positioning him as backup to Kyle Juszczyk, who is 35 and entering the final year of his contract. Willis's waiver suggests the team views him as a fullback prospect rather than tight end contributor.

2024 Seahawks RB; maintained 60-70% snap share despite committee narrative; injured/durability concerns led Seahawks to manage workload. Community uses Walker as comp for Price: if Walker couldn't secure bellcow role despite talent, Price faces similar headwinds. However, some argue Seahawks' committee approach was specific to Walker's injury history, not organizational philosophy. Walker excelled in playoffs/Super Bowl when Charbonnet went down, suggesting talent does rise when opportunity presents. Debate centers on whether Seahawks' 2024 committee was by design or necessity.

Mentioned as part of Seahawks' 2-3 RB rotation; expected to handle short-yardage/goal-line work alongside Holani until Charbonnet returns. Limited discussion; community views him as depth piece, not fantasy-relevant.

Undrafted FA, 3rd-year player; 83 career yards, 3.3 yards/carry average, 25 career carries. Holani won't stay on field due to poor production; "elite pass blocker" per one comment, will receive passing-down work and 3rd-down reps until Charbonnet returns. Some view him as "penny stock" with minimal fantasy relevance; others note he'll get meaningful high-leverage snaps. First-round pick Price unlikely to lose carries to Holani given talent gap. Holani as flex in PPR if he gets 5 carries + majority of passing-down work, but most dismiss him as fantasy-relevant threat to Price.

Fowler: Price "is going to be a big factor" but Seahawks will use 2-3 RBs; won't hit 20 carries/game. Community split: Price truthers note first-round capital and talent should earn him lead role; skeptics cite Seahawks' historical committee preference, Price's weak pass-blocking (vs. Kenneth Walker), and Charbonnet's eventual return. Seahawks went 14-3 last year with committee (Walker/Charbonnet split), won playoff game before Charbonnet injury. Price's ADP ~5th-6th round; some view as value if he's "the guy," others expect RB2 floor with ceiling capped by Holani/Wilson pass-down work and Charbonnet's return (likely week 6+ per surgery timeline). Camp reports: Price improving at pass pro...

McVay: Puka Nacua (psoas) expected to play Week 1, via @​NateAtkins_.

Wide receiver R.J. Mosley played 23 snaps and earned a 64.7 PFF grade, indicating moderate performance in limited action.

Tracy Jr. missed a critical block during Dart's preseason appearance, allowing a crushing hit that forced Dart to exit the game for evaluation. This blocking miss highlights potential concerns about Tracy Jr.'s execution in pass protection.

Winston signed a two-year, $13 million extension with the Giants through 2028, securing his role as backup quarterback behind Tommy Dart. The deal helped the Giants manage salary cap constraints (they were $1.18 million over before the extension) and provides injury insurance; Winston appeared in three games last season (two starts in November when Dart was injured, two snaps on Dec. 14), completing 37-of-66 passes for 567 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. He is now in a mentorship role for Dart, logging critical reps with the No. 2 offense in training camp.

Jameis Winston agreed to a contract extension with the Giants and is locked in as the backup quarterback to Jaxson Dart for the second consecutive season.

Jaxson Dart is locked in as the starter with Jameis Winston serving as his backup for the second consecutive season, indicating organizational confidence in Dart's role stability.

RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is not present for the media-access portion of practice Sunday. He hasn’t practiced since Aug. 24. If he isn’t available, Lan Larison and/or Hassan Haskins would likely be elevated from the practice squad to join Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner. [Retweeted](

Evans, the 49ers' major offseason addition, is expected to be a focal point in Week 1 against the Rams, particularly in the red zone. However, he is probable but may be on a limited workload after missing nearly all training camp and preseason practices and only recently ramping up. The 49ers are targeting Evans for red zone production similar to Davante Adams' first-season impact in Los Angeles (60 catches, 789 yards, 14 touchdowns in 14 games), not necessarily 1,000 yards.

Evans is the 49ers' biggest offseason addition and is expected to replicate Davante Adams' first-season impact in Los Angeles (60 catches, 789 yards, 14 TDs in 14 games). San Francisco is targeting red zone production rather than 1,000 yards. However, Evans is probable to play in Week 1 but may be on a limited workload after missing most of training camp and preseason; the 49ers will likely ensure he is on the field specifically in red zone situations.

McCaffrey is feeling like himself for the 49ers' 2026 season opener after arriving in Melbourne three days prior. He praised the 49ers' medical staff and physical trainers for providing detailed travel instructions, supplements, sleep guidance, and recovery protocols during the 16-hour trans-Pacific flight to accelerate adjustment to the AEST time zone. McCaffrey emphasized the importance of being diligent with recovery, training timing, eating schedules, caffeine intake, and napping protocols, noting the staff consulted world experts on jet lag management. He expressed confidence in the 49ers' early arrival strategy (over a week before kickoff) versus the Rams' 24-hour arrival plan, stating jet lag impact was manageable when following the protocol and that a couple of days in Melbourne helped mitigate travel fatigue.

Jaxson Dart was drafted by the Giants and moved ahead of Winston on the depth chart. Winston has become a resource for Dart in the locker room, indicating Dart is positioned as the future at the position.

Russell Wilson was signed by the Giants and initially moved ahead of Winston on the depth chart, but then swapped positions with Winston when Mike Kafka took over as interim head coach in the second half of the 2025 season.

Winston appeared in three games for the Giants, starting two. He threw for 567 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions against the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, and also made a fantastically entertaining touchdown catch against the Lions—his first career reception (college or pro)—gaining 20 yards after the catch (+14 YACOE) on his 33-yard TD reception from Gunner Olszewski.

The Giants extended Winston with an additional two years and $13 million, signaling the organization views him as an important piece for their immediate future. Winston has become an important leader in the Giants locker room and a resource for Dart, as well as an entertaining figure, indicating the team's confidence in his role beyond the field.

Winston, 32, signed a two-year, $8 million contract in 2025 and was initially in line to be the Giants' starting quarterback, but fell to third on the depth chart after the Giants signed Russell Wilson and drafted Jaxson Dart. He and Russell ultimately swapped positions when Mike Kafka took over as interim head coach in the second half of 2025, appearing in three games for the Giants and starting two.

Dart was drafted by the Giants and has Winston serving as a resource and mentor in the locker room as he develops as the team's quarterback of the future.

Winston threw for 567 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions across three appearances (two starts) against the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, including a 33-yard TD reception where he gained 20 yards after the catch (+14 YACOE) — his first career reception at any level.

Winston signed a two-year, $13 million contract extension with the Giants through 2028, signaling the team's commitment to him as a long-term piece despite his third-string depth chart status. Originally signed as the starter on a two-year, $8 million deal in 2025, he fell to third after the Giants signed Russell Wilson and drafted Jaxson Dart, but swapped positions with Wilson when Mike Kafka took over as interim head coach mid-season. Winston appeared in three games, starting two, and has become an important leader and resource for rookie Jaxson Dart in the locker room.

Emeka Egbuka was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde last season... From Weeks 1-5, he averaged 20.5 PPR PPG. But from Week 6 on, he averaged 7.8 FPTS. Which version of Egbuka are we getting in 2026?

Dart is heading into his second season as New York's starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. His dual-threat ability gives him a lot of upside, though his rookie season showed he doesn't mind taking contact when running in the open field, which resulted in injuries that forced Winston into action.

Winston agreed to a two-year, $13 million extension with the Giants through 2028 and figures to be the backup quarterback moving forward. The 32-year-old is viewed by New York as a mentor to starter Jaxson Dart and a locker-room presence; his impact has been enough to earn him a short extension despite his starting days being behind him.

Henderson has been unable to practice since Aug. 24 due to an ankle injury, and his status for Week 1 is seriously in doubt, making him unlikely to be active for the Patriots' regular-season opener against Seattle on Sept. 9.

Stevenson could be a low-end RB1 or top-tier RB2 against the Seahawks if Henderson is inactive, with Corey Kiner potentially subbing in for occasional breathers. He might see 25-30 total touches in this Super Bowl LX rematch at Lumen Field in Seattle.

Stevenson is in line to start the regular-season opener against Seattle on Sept. 9 with TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) sidelined since Aug. 24 and his Week 1 status seriously in doubt. With only first-year RB Corey Kiner as the other active running back on the 53-man roster, Stevenson could see a lion's share of the carries. The coaching staff has confidence in his ability to pick up the blitz, which has earned him more playing time; in Week 1 of 2025, he played 46 snaps to Henderson's 25.

Ian Hartitz recommends drafting D'Andre Swift as a superior value over Quintez Cephus, noting that Swift has finished as at least an RB2 in PPR points per game in every season of his career. Swift outscored Cephus last year (RB17 vs RB26) and offers higher pass-catching upside within a more favorable offensive environment in Chicago.

Ian Hartitz advises against drafting Quintez Cephus in round five, citing concerns over his recovery from a devastating dislocated ankle and fractured fibula, alongside the Browns' projected offensive struggles compared to the Bears.

Excellent news for Malik Nabers’ FF outlook, considering his starting QB is an unrepentant crash-test dummy. [Quoted](

Christian McCaffrey acknowledged Aaron Donald's defensive prowess ahead of the 49ers' Week 1 matchup against the Rams, noting that Donald is a force and a hell of a player whose location must be tracked carefully when reviewing the scouting report.

QB Jameis Winston and the Giants have agreed to a 2-year, $13M extension, per @​Schultz_Report

Schultz: Jameis Winston to sign a 2-year, $13M extension with the Giants.

Jennings was placed on the season-ending reserve/injured list due to an undisclosed injury, leaving New England light at the running back position heading into Week 1.

Kiner is on the 53-man roster and might be the primary backup option if Henderson cannot go, or even if he is limited. His role depends on Henderson's availability and Stevenson's workload.

If Henderson cannot start, Stevenson would get the starting nod and handle the workload almost exclusively. The source projects Stevenson as a legit low-end RB1 as the workhorse in Week 1 against Seattle, and a solid DFS play for Wednesday's opener.

The source reports Henderson (ankle) has been unable to practice since Aug. 24 and his status for the Week 1 regular-season opener against Seattle on Sept. 9 is in serious jeopardy. He played in every regular-season game and playoff contest in his rookie 2025 season, but the ankle injury now threatens his availability for the season debut.

Think it's a great idea to go into Week 1 with a plan for what to react to. Other stuff I'd react to: 1. Green Bay PROE and target distribution – Lots of talk this offseason on GB passing more and now Jacobs is out of the equation for Week 1. Does Matt LaFleur finally lean into his pass game? What does the target breakdown between Christian Watson and Matthew Golden look like? 2. Kansas City PROE and target distribution – How real is the talk that Kenneth Walker will be a featured part of the...
