Mitchell was a headcase in Indianapolis but got with the program after being traded to New York last year. He closed the season with 301 yards in eight games as a Jet. The team heaped praise on Mitchell throughout the offseason and he has seemingly ridden that momentum into camp. Mitchell’s spike games will be hard to pin down, but he should at least provide Best Ball drafters with some usable weeks.12 August 2026
Coming off a serious leg injury that ended his 2025 season in November, Skattebo has fared well in offseason practices and training camp, claiming he’s fully healed from his leg break. For now he’s listed as a co-RB1 alongside Tracy, who was up and down as the Giants’ lead back last season after Skattebo went down to injury. Devin Singletary listed as the lone RB2 likely means Tracy would get first crack at lead back duties if Skattebo misses any time in 2026. Tracy will be worth rosterin ...12 August 2026

Egbuka reportedly limped off the practice field Wednesday with the help of Bucs trainers and was examined on the sideline for a while before watching the rest of practice with his cleats off. Though the Bucs are likely being cautious with the second-year stud receiver, Egbuka’s status will be well worth monitoring in the coming days. An Egbuka absence would open up an opportunity for WR Ted Hurst, who has impressed throughout the offseason.

LaPorta, operating over the middle as a trusted target for Jared Goff, has shown “just how much Detroit missed him the second half of the 2025 season after he suffered a back injury,” Twentyman said. “He’s been terrific throughout the start of camp. In an early practice team period, Goff found LaPorta down the left seam for a big gain down to the nine-yard-line. The next play was a touchdown pass to LaPorta over the middle. That’s been a common occurrence all through camp.” LaPorta ...12 August 2026
This is the second straight practice McNichols has missed with the quad issue. He’s slated to function as Washington’s No. 3 back behind some combination of Rachaad White and Jacory Croskey-Merritt this season. McNichols was efficient in 2025, averaging five yards per carry on 44 rushes in Washington.12 August 2026
It’s not quite a ringing endorsement for Murray, acquired from the Cardinals this offseason. Murray had a brief competition with incumbent starter JJ McCarthy that included inconsistent play from both signal callers. On Tuesday the Vikings said the competition was over, and that Murray had won. “In my opinion,” O’Connell said, "[Kyler] has got the skill set and the abilities not only just from the standpoint of accuracy and his ability to affect the game with his athleticism, but he’s ...12 August 2026
“I want more than (the Super Bowl),” Johnson told The Athletic. “I want to have the highest-scoring offense ever, which happens to be the 2013 Denver Broncos. I know how many points per game they scored (37.9), and I want to surpass them. I want shutouts. I want blowouts.” It’s enough to make a fantasy manager hyperventilate. The Caleb Williams-led Bears would have a long way to go if they are to eclipse the legendary 2013 Denver offense led by Peyton Manning — an offense that suppo ...12 August 2026
Thornton was at practice in street clothes Tuesday, missing his fourth straight. He left a training camp practice early last week and has not received a diagnosis or return timetable. Jack Bech, Jalen Nailor, and Tre Tucker are listed as the Raiders’ starting wide receivers on the team’s first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. Thornton is listed as Nailor’s backup but may be losing ground to Malik Benson as he misses time.12 August 2026
Karty appeared in 25 games over the past two seasons for the Rams. He made 39-of-49 field goals over that time span, with a career-long of 58 yards. The Titans re-signed their kicker from 2025, Joey Slye, but are still looking to bring in competition with Karty’s tryout on Wednesday.12 August 2026
Stiggers passed out at a joint practice with the Buccaneers Tuesday and was transported to a local hospital. The Jets did not release a diagnosis but 24-year-old was conscious and able to speak while being evaluated. Stiggers was released from the hospital later Tuesday evening.11 August 2026
Nacua left practice with a trainer early on Tuesday. Head coach Sean McVay initially was unsure on what Nacua was dealing with, but Rapoport now reports the 25-year-old is managing groin soreness. The Rams are being cautious with a minor injury but no reason for fantasy managers to fret; Nacua may miss some preseason time but there is no indication he is in danger of missing any regular season games.11 August 2026
Ouzts is a former Alabama tight end the Seahawks converted to fullback last season. He dealt with a neck injury heading into the Super Bowl and will now head to injured reserve due to another neck issue. The Seahawks will lose some blocking upfront in the run game but have Brady Russell at the position to fill Ouzts’ void.11 August 2026
Wiggins was carted off in practice with a lower body injury. Initial MRI tests indicated the 22-year-old avoided a major injury and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport adds that there appears to be no significant structural damage. This is great news for the Ravens defense as Wiggins was poised to be the CB1 to begin the season. Though he will still miss some time, Wiggins will return “sooner rather than later.”11 August 2026
Boston, who ESPN’s Benjamin Solak compared to Sam LaPorta after viewing Browns training camp, looks to have a locked in role with the Browns early. We wouldn’t necessarily say that Boston is a lock to be fantasy-useful, but Todd Monken has been well-regarded as an offensive mind and Jerry Jeudy didn’t exactly light it up last year. It’s certainly in the range of outcomes that Boston puts up a WR3/WR4 type of year as a rookie.11 August 2026
They’ve been rotating days for the most part this summer, so this isn’t a surprise. The Browns haven’t named a starter yet, but even when they do, it will be hard to find fantasy value at quarterback.11 August 2026
He’s visited the Saints, Seahawks, and Texans over the past few weeks. It seems likely that Arnold will eventually sign, though perhaps he’ll be in limbo while teams wait for his felony kidnapping and armed robbery charges play out in the courtroom.11 August 2026
“Pretty normal thing with ACLs,” said Kyle Shanahan. We’re not concerned about Bosa’s status for Week 1 yet, but we’d like to see him practicing.11 August 2026
Sweat has been on the PUP list for the entirety of training camp and has not worked out with the team in any way, shape, or form this offseason. Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said: “Yeah. I mean, there’s different parts of injuries and stuff like that that, you know, are...and I shouldn’t even call it injuries...but just getting himself right to be ready to roll. So, again, I like where he’s at. I know everyone probably is not believing me on that one, but again, I only try to speak trut ...11 August 2026
“Bears are hoping he can return for the playoffs,” Schefter notes. It’s a brutal blow for the Bears to lose their star free-agent acquisition before training camp even concludes. Chicago didn’t exactly have a stellar defense last year, so perhaps this will make every Bears game a track meet.
