Dr. Deepak Chona notes McMillan suffered a knee injury with limited info available. Prior injuries were not knee-related, which may work slightly in his favor.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Stribling suffered a reportedly minor hamstring injury. Low concern if he returns by preseason, but missing camp can dip rookie WR stats early.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes video suggests Worthy suffered an AC sprain, which is different from the labrum injury he had surgery for previously. Chona suspects Worthy will be approximately 100% by Week 1.

Dr. Deepak Chona leans toward Kittle playing Week 1 but flags major concerns. Data favors a MAJOR dip in explosiveness if active, and most would see a dip in targets for the entire 2026 season.

Dr. Deepak Chona projects Rice to be very likely 100% for 2026. However, having loose bodies removed suggests cartilage damage, and Chona flags that long-term risk is elevated.

Dr. Deepak Chona projects Bowers to likely be at 100%. PCL injuries that don't require surgery don't tend to cause lingering impact on next season stats.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Lemon suffered a reportedly minor hamstring injury. Minimal injury concern unless it lingers, but missing camp time tends to dip rookie WR stats early.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Smith suffered a hamstring injury that is reportedly minor. If it does not linger into preseason, Chona's data favors no in-season impact.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Jacobs suffered a groin injury that is reportedly minor. Chona has minimal concern if Jacobs returns within 2 weeks.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Brown suffered a dislocated thumb. If no recurrence before Week 1, Chona would not expect in-season impact. Chona also notes that 2025 stats were likely affected by a lingering hamstring; Weeks 1-7 he was WR 29, but Weeks 12-17 he was WR 11, suggesting strong recovery trajectory.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes minimal 2026 concern for Tyson. However, Chona is avoiding Tyson in dynasty due to knee history predicting a shorter prime.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Kraft is nearing 9 months from surgery, which is the earliest time Green Bay allows players to practice. Chona suspects ADP will rise in the next ~2 weeks when Kraft projects to return to practice.

Dr. Deepak Chona attributes Barkley's 2025 drop-off to Philadelphia's offensive line issues rather than Barkley's decline. In 2024, Barkley led the league in yards before contact by 200+ yards. In 2025, he averaged league average. Philadelphia had the 3rd highest negative rush rate in the league, with center Jurgens, left guard Dickerson, and right tackle Johnson all playing through injuries with a dip. Chona projects a healthy start in 2026 with improved line play.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Skattebo suffered a minor injury at camp with no major concern. Data projects full volume at Week 1, but rise in efficiency to 90% pre-injury by late October.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes comments suggest Pierce will be practicing in the next 1-2 weeks. If so, Chona projects Pierce will likely be at pre-injury level by Week 1. However, Chona flags VERY limited info available.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Egbuka suffered a Week 6 hamstring injury in 2025. Pre-injury, Egbuka was WR 3. Post-injury, he fell to WR 43. The injury also coincided with Baker injuries. Chona projects a rise in 2026 as both Egbuka and Baker recover.

Dr. Deepak Chona notes Evans suffered a quad strain in camp, which is not associated with missed regular season weeks. However, Chona flags HIGH risk regardless due to hamstring history and age.

Dr. Deepak Chona identifies Lamb as undervalued. Lamb suffered a Week 3 severe high ankle sprain in 2025; stats tank average 8 weeks. Pre-injury and post-injury (8 games), Lamb is on pace for 1400 yards, suggesting strong recovery trajectory and potential value at current ADP.

Dr. Deepak Chona projects Nabers to lean playing Week 1. Chona suspects ADP will rise in the next 2 weeks when Nabers projects to return to contact drills.

Positive reports on his new role being moved around the field in Baltimore. Justin Herzig notes he's not all in on Ja'Kobi Lane but willing to sprinkle in both Bateman and Lane as last round stack options.

The rookie name that won't stop popping in Baltimore, with beat writer Jamison Hensley saying he's not sure he's seen a rookie camp like it in 27 years covering the team. Justin Herzig notes there are always rookie WR drumbeats that never pan out and this could be the case here, but he's willing to give it a chance, particularly on Lamar teams. Herzig is willing to sprinkle in Lane as a last round stack option.

Will eat into pass down snaps in Jacksonville's backfield, limiting the upside for Bhayshul Tuten. Justin Herzig's analysis indicates Allen Jr. has a defined role in the Jaguars' committee.

Splitting early-down work with Bhayshul Tuten in Jacksonville, and is the favorite for red zone work. Justin Herzig's analysis suggests Rodriguez has a more defined role than Tuten in the Jaguars' backfield committee.

Keeps splitting early-down work with Chris Rodriguez in Jacksonville, and the committee has only firmed up as the pads came on, yet his price is still climbing on Underdog. Justin Herzig notes the upside with Tuten is contagious but there is substantial risk in Jacksonville with how valuable of a role he'll have in the offense. Chris Rodriguez is the favorite for red zone work and LeQuint Allen Jr. will eat into pass down snaps. Herzig is not full fading Tuten but likely will be below weight as he drafts David Montgomery and D'Andre Swift ahead of him.

Split the leftovers with Shedeur Sanders in Saturday's team periods while Deshaun Watson took every first-team rep, indicating a third-string role in the Browns' quarterback competition.

Expected to get the rotation in Saturday's team periods but instead split the leftovers with Dillon Gabriel while Deshaun Watson took every first-team rep. Justin Herzig notes that if Watson struggles or is benched, Sanders would get the reins to see whether he can be an NFL starter, but currently trails in the depth chart.

Took every first-team rep in Saturday's team periods on a day the rotation was supposed to belong to Shedeur Sanders, who instead split the leftovers with Dillon Gabriel. Todd Monken will name a preseason-opener starter by Monday. Justin Herzig says reps beat quotes, and these reps flat-out contradicted the quote, so Watson is strengthening his grip on the starting role. Herzig prefers this outcome because either Watson regains his old form (extremely unlikely) or the much more likely outcome is they realize Watson is done, bench him, and give Shedeur Sanders the reins to see whether he can be an NFL starter.

Falling behind Kyler Murray in the Vikings' quarterback competition, receiving only 33 first-team reps over the last four practices compared to Murray's 63. Justin Herzig notes that if Kyler struggles mid-season, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Vikings give McCarthy a chance, but the current trajectory favors Murray.

Separating in the Vikings' quarterback battle, taking roughly two-thirds of the first-team 11-on-11 snaps with 63 first-team reps over the last four practices to J.J. McCarthy's 33. Justin Herzig wishes this would have happened sooner and believes the Vikings really need to just announce Kyler as the starter and let him run with the team.

Expected to miss time with a groin injury after going down awkwardly in a one-on-one rep with Tyrique Stevenson on Saturday. With DJ Moore already shipped to Buffalo, Chicago's receiver room is suddenly thin. Justin Herzig notes the groin injury will slow his draft approach; he was mixing Burden in late in the fourth round but will either wait to scoop him in the 5th or be okay with others taking the added risk.

Finally back and practiced in pads for the first time since his December 2024 knee injury, catching passes from C.J. Stroud in a limited role, though not cleared for 11-on-11 yet. Mike Evans says there is something to be said about a guy who you've actually seen play to his upside that keeps him coming back to Tank Dell. However, the role is unlikely to be the same, Jayden Higgins is clearly emerging as the #2 WR in this offense, and it'll be impressive if he can play to 90% of his former self with this injury. But what if keeps dragging him back.

Getting deluxe usage with the Bengals moving him all over the formation, the same way they deploy Ja'Marr Chase, coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season. Mike Evans groups him with Rashee Rice as both have very valuable roles in explosive offenses but their entire fantasy value is dependent upon retaining that role throughout the year, despite not having the talent to truly secure it.

Cleared a big hurdle by taking part in 11-on-11 team drills for the first time all camp and hauling in a pass from Patrick Mahomes. Mike Evans groups Rashee Rice and Chase Brown together as he thinks there are a lot of similarities between how he's considering these two. Both have very valuable roles in explosive offenses but their entire fantasy value is dependent upon retaining that role throughout the year, despite not having the talent to truly secure it.

Returned to practice Thursday after a couple days off for lower-body soreness. With Mike Evans now in San Francisco, the target vacuum in Tampa is wide open. Mike Evans thinks Egbuka is going to have a great season as the alpha for a strong Bucs team, but the market is treating him as if he's already taken that next step. He's a target in redraft leagues but in best ball where he's going in the middle of the third round, Evans finds himself often preferring the RBs or other WRs going around him.

Locked up by the Colts on a two-year, $44 million extension, the largest third contract ever handed to a running back. Mike Evans notes that when Daniel Jones was healthy, Jonathan Taylor was the overall RB1 with 25.9 PPG, 4.5 points clear of RB2. Expecting regression but still targeting Taylor as RB4 for this year and wouldn't fault people wanting him in home leagues higher than any WR.

Signed to a three-year, $67.5 million extension worth up to $75.75 million, making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history at $22.5 million per year. Mike Evans says this doesn't move Gibbs so much as remove any lingering doubt; he's his 1.01 and has been all summer, and a team handing a back this kind of money is telling you exactly how central he is to the offense. Not concerned by minor camp back tightness and will continue to draft him #1 overall and not overthink it.

Carson Beck will start Thursday's Hall of Fame Game with Jacoby Brissett and the vets sitting, giving the rookie a full night of live reps on a national stage. JJ Zachariason notes that a strong preseason performance by Beck will increase the willingness of Cardinals brass to elevate him to starter in the second half of the season.

Bo Nix is coming off a strong sophomore year and is already connecting well with Jaylen Waddle at Broncos camp, with Waddle looking like his go-to receiver. JJ Zachariason views Nix's recent performance as a positive factor supporting Waddle's breakout potential.

Jaylen Waddle has everyone talking at Broncos camp, already looking like Bo Nix's go-to and winning reps against Pat Surtain II. JJ Zachariason likes the combination of new team, motivated player, and a quarterback coming off a strong sophomore year, noting Waddle has already risen quite a lot and could touch the 3/4 turn in drafts, though he prefers the next tier of WRs ahead of him.

Alvin Kamara is the first option on third down and in passing situations in New Orleans, but faces uncertainty on red zone and goal-line work. JJ Zachariason indicates that if Etienne gets goal-line work, Kamara becomes mostly irrelevant; if it's split or goes to Kamara, he becomes a great late-round RB value.
