Allen has been sidelined since Saturday after he suffered a shin injury during a collision with a teammate. The flashy fifth-round rookie has made a name for himself in the early part of training camp and is now back on the field following his brief injury scare. Allen’s recent training camp hype has made him an interesting dart throw in the later rounds of drafts, but it will likely take a few things breaking in his favor for him to make a meaningful fantasy impact this season.07 August 2026
The Falcons selected Andersen with the 58th overall pick in 2022, but the veteran linebacker has appeared in just 26 games since entering the league. Injuries have plagued Andersen for much of his career; a shoulder/pec injury ended his 2023 campaign in Week 3, and a knee injury he suffered in 2024 limited him to seven games that season and sidelined him for all of last year. As a rookie, Andersen totaled 69 tackles and three TFLs. He is now free to sign with any team as he looks to get his car ...07 August 2026
Noel started camp on the NFI list after suffering a finger injury away from the team. The second-year receiver is now back with the team and will face stiff competition for playing time with Tank Dell now back and Xavier Hutchinson and Jayden Higgins also working with the first-team offense. Noel caught 26 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games as a rookie.07 August 2026
A former second-round pick from the 2023 draft class, Torrence has appeared in all 51 regular-season games for the Bills since entering the league. He has started all but one of those games in his career, appearing on over 3,300 snaps. Head coach Joe Brady praised Torrence for being “one of the top guards in football,” as the Bills have now locked him in through the 2030 season. Torrence’s deal includes $46 million in guaranteed money.

“No, not right now,” was Steichen’s response when asked if there was a timeline. “His rehab’s going great, I’ll say that. ... I don’t have the timetable on his return, but he’s doing a hell of a job in his rehab process.” “No timeline” might be a bit disingenuous, but probably no more so than when GM Chris Ballard said nine days ago Pierce was a “week or two” from returning. The Colts’ brain trust is being intentionally vague, but we still haven’t seen anything to ...07 August 2026
Beck played two-plus quarters. No offense to the Hall-of-Fame Game, but it’s not a contest we typically go into expecting highlights. The Cardinals’ No. 3 quarterback provided several of them, hitting Jalen Brooks for a 49-yard deep strike and Simi Fehoko for a five-yard end zone fade touchdown. In between were several smart in-rhythm completions, with Beck navigating the pocket well. 24-year-old Beck’s arm strength remains a massive question mark — even his Brooks completion drifted a ...07 August 2026
Payton said Nix’s health “looks really good.” Payton’s words come a week after Nix pledged to keep running this season despite his unfortunate injury. Considered something of a finished product upon being the No. 12 overall pick of the 2024 Draft, Nix took a decent sophomore step forward, and now has the best supporting cast of his career entering Year 3.07 August 2026
With un-retirement rumors swirling for months, Donald officially worked out for the team earlier this week. "(Donald is) feeling good, but we’re not to where we are able to say whether or not he is or isn’t ready to do it,” McVay said Thursday. “But he’s doing great and he looked outstanding (in Tuesday’s workout), as I think all of us would expect.” At this point, we wouldn’t be surprised if the sides simply had a wink-nod agreement to wait to formalize any return until trainin ...07 August 2026
Yes, this is via the Broncos’ in-house media apparatus, but it jibes with what the more independent press has been saying. The second-year pro has also caught the attention of his veteran teammates. “He’s really good vertically and he makes his releases look all the same, which is tough for a guy like me,” were the words of CB Riley Moss. Jaylen Waddle’s addition took some of the air out of Bryant’s second-year breakout case, but he appears ensconced in the team’s No. 3 job and co ...07 August 2026
Brown caught 2-of-2 targets for one yard last year. He is not on the fantasy radar. The Colts correspondingly placed TE Sean McKeon on injured reserve.07 August 2026
For reference, the Rams’ defense averaged 66.9 plays per game last year, so this is a significant snap share estimation. Florio opened the segment by saying, “we could have an announcement within the next few days” about Donald’s potential return. Rams coach Sean McVay joked earlier today that Donald’s recent workout at the team facility was “the best tryout that the Rams have ever seen.” Nothing is guaranteed, but Donald is seemingly headed toward a return.07 August 2026
Per Williams, Harris has been a frequent target for QB Justin Herbert. The Chargers’ top-four wide receivers continue to receive positive praise. Although it might be tough for Harris to produce reliably if he is stuck in the WR3 role behind WR1 Ladd McConkey and WR2 Quentin Johnston, he is a worthwhile best ball pick, and he could even warrant matchup-based FLEX consideration in re-draft.06 August 2026
According to Breer, Allen “might’ve been the best receiver in camp before bruising his shin.” Internally, the team apparently sees some similarities to Stefon Diggs in Allen’s “physical profile and play style.” Year after year, a Chiefs youngster soars up draftboards after turning in a promising showing in training camp. The results haven’t always matched the hype, though, particularly in recent seasons. Only time will tell if Allen is worthy of the praise he’s received — and ...06 August 2026
Breer refers to RB Kenneth Walker as an “every-down” player, says RB Brashard Smith “has already shown he can be a weapon in space,” and notes RB Emari Demercado adds depth. Perhaps taking on a change-of-pace rushing role is in play for Johnson this season. The rookie back has pass-catching experience as well, but Smith and Demercado could offer more in that department at the moment. Johnson could be the next player up if Walker were to miss time.06 August 2026
Tavai totaled 30 tackles and one forced fumble with the Patriots last season. The Jaguars correspondingly waived LB Jared Bartlett.06 August 2026
If Kuntz plays, it will likely be on special teams, but he has not taken a snap since 2024 with the Jets. He is not fantasy-relevant.06 August 2026
That is unfortunate. Underhill had previously reported that Rechsteiner was a standout at the Saints’ mandatory minicamp. Perhaps they will keep him around as a practice squad player.06 August 2026
Doubs was absent yesterday as well. Reiss believes that Doubs’ injury “likely isn’t anything serious,” but notes Doubs “appeared slightly hobbled in recent days.” On Saturday, Patriots on CLNS reporter Tyler Kyles that Doubs “may have tweaked his ankle.” We are not overly concerned about this. It would be nice to see him return soon, though.06 August 2026
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the contract could be worth up to $75.75 million and includes $51.5 million guaranteed. The deal averages $22.5 million per year, resetting the running back market. The Lions’ bell cow back enters his age-24 season firmly in play for fantasy football’s overall RB1 spot.06 August 2026
Sutton did not practice at all over the past two days. He participated in a walkthrough and individual drills today, but sat out team drills. Broncos coach Sean Payton says he is not dealing with an injury, and Sutton said the protocol was set in place due to the fatigue that set in late last year. It sounds like this really is all part of a management plan for the 30-year-old veteran. He warrants FLEX treatment, entering his new role as the Broncos’ WR2.
