    Jauan Jennings Aug 27 5:30pm ET
    Jauan Jennings

    San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) is still working through his calf injury, and the team is "hopeful that he is ready for Week 1." Jennings aggravated a calf injury early in August that he also dealt with earlier this offseason, but the fact that he remains off the practice field might have to do more with the fact that he's still in discussions with the organization about a contract extension. Still, the 28-year-old's status for Week 1 versus the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 7, is up in the air. And with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) starting the year on the PUP list, San Fran's receiving depth is very shaky. "I expect him to be back, he should be back from it," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "But you never know with a calf." Jennings could be the Niners' WR1 in 2025, but the injury uncertain has dropped him down draft boards as a risk/reward WR4/flex.

    Najee Harris Aug 27 5:20pm ET
    Najee Harris

    Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that running back Najee Harris (eye) returned to practice on Wednesday and that him playing in Week 1 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil on Friday, Sept. 5, is a "possibility." Harris missed all of training camp and the preseason due to an eye injury he suffered in a fireworks mishap on the Fourth of July, but he will avoid the Non-Football Injury list to begin his first year in L.A. and could be available in the team's backfield alongside rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton to kick things off against KC. The 27-year-old should be a big part of the Bolts' run-first offense in 2025, but don't be surprised if Harris is eased into the fold give all the time he missed this summer. For his big-play ability alone, Hampton is the better fantasy target, with Harris checking in at No. 56 at the position at RotoBaller.

    Travis Hunter Aug 27 5:10pm ET
    Travis Hunter

    Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (upper body) was on the practice field on Wednesday and will be ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the Carolina Panthers, according to general manager James Gladstone. Hunter has been dealing with a minor upper-body injury and was held out of the preseason finale as a precaution. The Jaguars have been optimistic all along that the 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner and two-way star would be ready for the start of the regular season. Hunter will play both sides of the ball in his first year in the NFL, but all indications from offseason workouts and training camp suggest he'll be involved quite a bit on the offensive side of the ball as the No. 2 behind Brian Thomas Jr. Still, without a firm idea of what Hunter's playing time will look like, he'll be boom/bust WR3 target in fantasy drafts.

    Devon Achane Aug 27 4:50pm ET
    Devon Achane

    Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) was not practicing on Wednesday, according to Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. Achane has been dealing with a lingering calf injury throughout most of August. However, earlier on Wednesday, the team's general manager noted that he expects their top running back to be "ready" for their Week 1 match against the Colts. While the Dolphins could be closely monitoring his workload, seeing him continue to sit out in practice is not a positive sign. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status leading up to Week 1. When healthy, Achane is one of the most productive running backs in the sport. Last season, Achane enjoyed a breakout campaign totaling 907 yards on the ground and 592 through the air. If he were to miss time, rookie Ollie Gordon II would likely be bumped up the depth chart.

    Tyreek Hill Aug 27 4:00pm ET
    Tyreek Hill

    Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (oblique) did not take part in Wednesday's practice, according to Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. Hill has only been on the field a handful of times this month due to a nagging oblique injury, but the Dolphins have remained optimitic that he'll be ready for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, versus the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy managers should be more alarmed about the 31-year-old speedster's Week 1 status if he still isn't practicing next week. Hill's lack of activity in training camp isn't endearing him to fantasy managers coming off a disappointing 2024 campaign, although the five-time All-Pro did still have 959 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 81 receptions. He's no longer a slam dunk as a WR1 in fantasy, with most of his fantasy value resting on the health of oft-injured quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

    Clyde Edwards-Helaire Aug 27 3:40pm ET
    Clyde Edwards-Helaire

    The Kansas City Chiefs signed running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Carson Steele to their practice squad on Wednesday, sources tell Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest. Edwards-Helaire was released by the New Orleans Saints on roster cutdown day on Tuesday, but he will quickly land on his feet with the team that selected him 32nd overall in 2020 out of LSU. The 26-year-old ran for 803 yards and four touchdowns on 181 carries in his first year in the NFL, but he never came close to matching those numbers over the next four years before KC cut him last season. While CEH probably should be considered a long shot to find a significant backfield role with the Chiefs again, he does bring experience and knowledge of head coach Andy Reid's offense with him. Steele will return after carrying the ball 56 times for 183 yards and no TDs in 17 games in his rookie season in 2024.

    Malachi Corley Aug 27 3:20pm ET
    Malachi Corley

    Former New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley is signing an undisclosed deal with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, sources tell Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Corley chose the Browns but had multiple opportunities on the open market. Corley, 23, only made it one season with the New York Jets after they took him in the third round (65th overall) out of Western Kentucky. He played in only nine games (83 offensive snaps) with Gang Green last year and caught just three of his six targets for 16 yards. Corley will now head to the AFC North, where there is plenty of opportunity in the team's receiving room behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Corley will begin on Cleveland's practice squad. For now, he's just a name to monitor for receiver depth in deep fantasy leagues.

    Jayden Reed Aug 27 3:20pm ET
    Jayden Reed

    Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that he's "hopeful" that wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) will be ready for the team's Week 1 contest against the division-rival Detroit Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7. Reed is "trending the right way." The 25-year-old has been dealing with a lingering foot injury this summer, and although he has yet to return to practice, he did ditch his walking boot and should be able to play in the regular-season opener if he gets back on the practice field next week. Green Bay's receiving corps is especially banged up going into the season, with Christian Watson (knee) on the PUP list and Romeo Doubs (back) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) also dealing with nagging issues. When healthy, Reed can score on the ground or through the air anytime he touches the ball, but injuries and inconsitent usage have made him a boom/bust WR4/flex fantasy asset.

    A.J. Brown Aug 27 3:10pm ET
    A.J. Brown

    Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) appeared to be practicing on Wednesday, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. The Eagles don't have to release an official practice report until Sunday, though, so we won't really know more specifics on Brown's practice participation until then. The 28-year-old also looked good while doing a pre-game workout before the team's preseason finale last Friday, so all signs are pointing to Brown being ready to roll for Week 1 of the regular season on Thursday night against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4. The three-time Pro Bowler had his third straight 1,000 yard season in 2024 in his third year in Philly on his way to helping the team win their second Super Bowl championship. Injuries can be an issue, but when healthy, Brown is a top-10 fantasy wideout in one of the best offenses in football.

    Chris Godwin Aug 27 2:00pm ET
    Chris Godwin

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) is "getting healthier by the day." Bowles said he can't put a specific timeline on when Godwin might return, but he said it will hopefully be "sooner than later." When asked specifically when the earliest we could see Godwin make his 2025 debut, Bowles said anywhere from Week 2 to Week 5. The 29-year-old passed his physical on Tuesday and will not open the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which suggests the Bucs think he has a shot to return before Week 5. Still, Godwin needs to get back on the practice field after missing all of training camp and the preseason following his season-ending dislocated left ankle in Week 7 of 2024. Rookie Emeka Egbuka will serve as the team's No. 2 until Godwin can return. In fantasy leagues with IR spots, Godwin is worth a late-round flier.

    Jelani Woods Aug 27 1:40pm ET
    Jelani Woods

    The New York Jets claimed tight end Jelani Woods off waivers on Wednesday from the Indianapolis Colts, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Woods did not make the Colts' final 53-man roster heading into the 2025 season, and now he'll look to make his return to NFL action with the Jets for the first time since 2022. The 26-year-old will be competing for TE2 duties with Jeremy Ruckert in New York behind rookie first-rounder Mason Taylor. Woods, a former third-round pick (73rd overall) in 2022, caught 25 of 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games (two starts) in his rookie season with Indy. However, a serious hamstring injury caused him to miss each of the last two years, causing the Colts to move on. Woods would only be worth a look on the waiver wire in fantasy this year if Taylor misses time with an injury.

    Kendrick Bourne Aug 27 1:20pm ET
    Kendrick Bourne

    The New England Patriots are releasing veteran wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (foot) on Wednesday, sources tell Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Bourne requested to be released so that he can try to latch on with another team that doesn't have such a crowded receiving picture. The 30-year-old missed most of August with a foot injury, but he's healthy now and looking to contribute somewhere else in 2025. The former undrafted pass-catcher out of Eastern Washington spent the first four years of his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers, but it wasn't until he came to New England that he really blossomed as a receiver. Bourne had a career-best 55-800-5 line in 17 games (five starts) in 2021, but he dropped off considerably the following year and hasn't been the same after suffering an injury in 2023. It's possibly he'll look to reunite with the Niners, who could use the wideout depth.

    Tommy DeVito Aug 27 1:20pm ET
    Tommy DeVito

    The New England Patriots claimed quarterback Tommy DeVito off waivers on Wednesday from the New York Giants, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Giants didn't have a need for DeVito any longer after signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and trading up to draft rookie Jaxson Dart in the first round in April. The 27-year-old will now head to the AFC East, where he'll serve as the QB3 behind starter Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs. DeVito went undrafted out of college before joining the Giants and making his NFL debut in 2023, when he started six games. In his two NFL seasons with the G-Men, DeVito has completed 65.3 percent of his 222 pass attempts for 1,358 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He is well off the fantasy radar but could push Dobbs for QB2 duties during the year behind Maye.

    Jalen Royals Aug 27 1:10pm ET
    Jalen Royals

    Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Jalen Royals (knee) is currently banged up and missed practice on Tuesday, but FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz says he's a name to watch during Rashee Rice's six-game suspension to begin the 2025 season. Wideout Tyquan Thornton is another name to watch after he had an exceptional training camp to earn himself a 53-man roster spot. Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown and tight end Travis Kelce should be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top aerial targets through the first six games with Rice suspended, but both Royals and Thornton could also get involved. The 22-year-old Royals is currently battling knee tendinitis that caused him to miss the preseason finale, and his availability for the Week 1 regular-season opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil on Friday, Sept. 5, is in question. JuJu Smith-Schuster is another receiver who could benefit from Rice's suspension.

    Cade Otton Aug 27 1:00pm ET
    Cade Otton

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that tight end Cade Otton (leg) is dealing with a leg injury and soreness, and will miss "a little bit." Buccaneers.com writer Brianna Dix reports that we should know next week if Otton's injury will impact his status for the Week 1 regular-season opener versus the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. This is something fantasy managers in TE-premium leagues need to monitor heading into the season opener. If the 26-year-old misses practice time next week and cannot go against Atlanta, the Bucs would likely mix and match at the position with Payne Durham, Devin Culp and Ko Kieft, with none of the trio being very reliable for DFS lineups. Otton was sidelined for a lot of training camp with a hamstring issue, too, so he hasn't gotten a lot of reps with the starting offense going into the regular season. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 22 tight end in fantasy.

    Marquez Valdes-Scantling Aug 27 12:40pm ET
    Marquez Valdes-Scantling

    The San Francisco 49ers are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, a source tells Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Valdes-Scantling was unable to make the Seattle Seahawks' final 53-man roster heading into the regular season, but he'll remain in the NFC West division and join a 49ers team with a banged-up receiver room. MVS was choosing betwen the 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers. The 30-year-old still shouldn't be drafted in 12-team fantasy leagues, but he should have a better shot at playing time early in 2025 in the Bay Area. Brandon Aiyuk (knee) will miss at least the first four games (and possibly more), while Jauan Jennings (calf) is also up in the air for Week 1 against Seattle. MVS has never had more than 42 catches, 690 yards or six touchdowns in a single season, though, and most likely will just give San Fran an extra body for receiver depth.

    Rashee Rice Aug 27 12:30pm ET
    Rashee Rice

    Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is accepting and will serve a six-game suspension to start the 2025 regular season, sources tell Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The league and the NFL Players Association are working to finalize the settlement, which will end the limbo surrounding Rice's off-the-field issues. He will be eligible to return for a Week 7 divisional clash against the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 19. This is obviously a big hit to the 25-year-old's fantasy value this year, but managers already knew a four- to six-game suspension was coming, and Rice sitting out games to begin the year is actually better than him missing key games down the stretch into the fantasy playoffs. Despite the suspension, Rice is worth stashing in all fantasy formats, and he could even come at a nice discount. Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown will see more targets in the first six weeks.

    Kyle Hamilton Aug 27 12:20pm ET
    Kyle Hamilton

    The Baltimore Ravens and All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton are finalizing a four-year contract extension on Wednesday that will be worth over $100 million, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The former first-rounder has quickly become one of the best safeties in the league and has been a Pro Bowler each of the last two seasons. The 24-year-old is one of the top IDP safeties to target for fantasy because of his abilities in coverage down the field and in the run game. In his three seasons in Baltimore to begin his NFL career, Hamilton has recorded 250 tackles (186 solo), seven sacks, 18 tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, five interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 27 pass breakups, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 48 games (36 starts). For a strong Ravens defense, Hamilton is one of their most important players.

    Jordan Poyer

    The Buffalo Bills are signing former All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to his agents, Drew Roenhaus and Kyle Lincoln. After a year with the Miami Dolphins, Poyer will return to the team that he played for from 2017-23. In 16 regular-season appearances for the Dolphins last year, the 34-year-old veteran defensive back had 98 tackles (51 solo) and three pass breakups while missing one game due to injury. He was an every-down player for Miami's defense, although he didn't record any interceptions or sacks. Poyer was an All-Pro in 2021 with Buffalo and was a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career in 2022. He probably won't be a standout defensive back in his return to the Bills, but he clearly has some juice left and will be a valuable and experienced addition to their secondary.

    Rashee Rice Aug 27 12:00pm ET
    Rashee Rice

    According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the NFL is aiming to place at least a six-game suspension on Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice. According to Schefter, this suspension would begin at the start of the season. The 25-year-old is scheduled to have a disciplinary hearing with the league on September 30. While this date appeared to have pushed a potential suspension until later in the season, this recent update suggests the league is looking to suspend Rice earlier in the season. Fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor this situation as Rice could be in danger of missing at least the first six weeks of the regular season. Despite suffering a season-ending LCL tear in Week 4, Rice appears to be on the fast track to a breakout season, tallying 288 yards and two scores in the first three weeks. If Rice were to miss six games, second-year wideout Xavier Worthy would likely see a significant increase in targets.
