Wagner tallied 11 tackles (three solo) during the Commanders' 27-18 loss to the Packers on Thursday.
|
It's the second straight game in which Wagner has logged at least 10 total tackles, and his efforts Thursday brought his total for the season up to 21. The veteran linebacker has registered at least 100 total tackles in all 14 seasons he's played in since being selected by the Seahawks in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft, and he is on track to extend that streak to 15 seasons.

Ekeler suffered a torn Achilles during Thursday's 27-18 loss to the Packers, an MRI confirmed Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
|
Ekeler went down with a non-contact right Achilles injury late in the fourth quarter and was carted to the locker room. His 2025 season is over after he posted 14 carries for 43 yards and five receptions for 38 yards. The 30-year-old running back is expected to be placed on injured reserve at some point in the next week. The Commanders will move forward with Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez in the backfield. Ekeler will be an unrestricted free agent in March.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (back) will be a full practice participant Thursday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
|
Nabers opened Week 2 prep Wednesday as a limited participant while he managed some back tightness, which had previously cropped up in training camp before rearing its head again last Friday. Despite being held out of drills in the final Week 1 practice session, Nabers headed into last Sunday's game against the Commanders without an injury designation and played 64 of 68 offensive snaps in the 21-6 loss en route to a 5-71-0 receiving line on 12 targets. The second-year wideout appears to have emerged from the season opener without any setbacks, so his limitations Wednesday were most likely maintenance-related. Nabers should be ready to handle a full workload and will be locked in as quarterback Russell Wilson's top target for this Sunday's game in Dallas.

Jaguars coach Liam Coen said Wednesday that Hunter will get more snaps on defense in Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
|
In the Jaguars' Week 1 win over Carolina, Hunter played 64 percent of his team's snaps on offense but only nine percent on defense, catching six passes for 33 yards on a team-high eight targets. He ran a route on 77 percent of Trevor Lawrence's dropbacks, flirting with full-time status in his NFL debut. Additional playing time on defense doesn't necessarily mean less on offense, especially when Hunter is starting at such a low point with the former. He should remain a key part of Jacksonville's offense, regardless of what happens on defense in the coming weeks.

Davis-Gaither registered seven tackles (three solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 20-13 victory against the Saints.
|
Of Davis-Gaither's seven stops, three came on special teams. The veteran linebacker logged 27 of Arizona's 75 defensive snaps while playing 19 snaps on special teams. Davis-Gaither seems likely to see substantial time in both roles during the campaign.

Swift rushed 17 times for 53 yards and caught three of five targets for 12 yards in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
|
Swift finished five yards shy of Caleb Williams' team-high rushing total and was the only Bears running back to record a carry, though rookie Kyle Monangai had one catch out of the backfield. While Swift seems locked into a high touch floor again due to a lack of competition, efficiency remains a concern, as he averaged a career-low 3.8 yards per carry last season and dipped to just 3.1 in Monday's small sample. Finding running room won't be easy Week 2 against the Lions, who held Swift to 59 yards on 20 carries (3.0 YPC) in two 2024 meetings.

McCarthy completed 13 of 20 passes for 143 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two carries for 25 yards and another score in the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Bears on Monday night. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.
|
Making his long-awaited regular-season debut, McCarthy mostly scuffled through the first three quarters before igniting a 21-point outburst in the final period. The 2024 first-round pick connected with Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones for fourth-quarter touchdown passes of 13 and 27 yards, respectively, and he followed those scoring strikes with a 14-yard touchdown run to extend Minnesota's 20-17 lead at the 2:53 mark of the fourth quarter. McCarthy also completed a two-point conversion to Adam Thielen, and he connected with seven different targets overall when factoring in that scoring toss. The second-year signal-caller now will prepare for his home regular-season debut, a Week 2 matchup against the Falcons on Sunday night.

|
Hendrickson posted three tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 17-16 win over Cleveland.
|
Hendrickson didn't disappoint in the season opener a few weeks after getting a revised contract from the Bengals. He totaled three QB hits in the narrow victory, including a third-quarter sack of Joe Flacco. Hendrickson is off to a great start after finishing with 17.5 regular-season sacks in each of the past two campaigns.

|
Corum rushed once for two yards and secured his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 14-9 victory against the Texans.
|
The second-year back started his 2025 campaign in a similar fashion to his role at the end of his rookie year, seeing the field for just 10 snaps and making little impact on the game. Notably, Jarquez Hunter (coach's decision) was inactive for the game, while Cody Schrader was used only on special teams, leaving the backup role to Kyren Williams seemingly Corum's to lose. The Rams' next contest is against a Titans squad that allowed 153 yards rushing to the Broncos in Week 1.

|
Sherwood recorded six total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.
|
Sherwood tied for the team lead in total tackles Sunday, matching Quincy Williams and Tony Adams with six stops. He played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps after inking a three-year, $45 million deal to remain with the Jets in March. Coming off a 2024 campaign in which he recorded 158 total tackles through 17 games, Sherwood's tackle output is expected to increase as the Jets take on the Bills in Week 2.

Henry rumbled for 169 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries while catching his lone target for 13 yards with a lost fumble in Sunday's 41-40 loss to the Bills.
|
Henry suffered the lowlight of Sunday's contest when the normally sure-handed back coughed up a fumble on Baltimore's second-to-last drive, allowing Buffalo to score a TD with just under two minutes remaining to close the gap to 40-38. Fantasy managers won't lost any sleep over the rare fumble, as it came on the heels of a monstrous statistical performance from the 31-year-old. The perennial All-Pro lost just one fumble over his last two full seasons, so Sunday's faux pas should be considered an anomaly. Henry is showing no signs of slowing down heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Browns.

|
Goff completed 31 of 39 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Packers.
|
Goff's final line was hardly efficient, as he averaged only 5.8 yards per attempt for the day. However, things were even more bleak for much of the game, as he accounted for 65 yards and his lone touchdown of the day on the Lions' final offensive possession that began with the team down by three scores late in the fourth quarter. Goff still managed some long completions to his top skill-position players, including 32 and 19-yard connections with Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown, respectively, but Goff will be looking for a bounce-back performance in Week 2 against the Bears.
|

|
Pollard rushed the ball 18 times for 60 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos. He added one reception on one target for 29 yards.
|
Pollard predictably dominated work out of the Tennessee backfield, accounting for 18 of the team's 21 rushing attempts. He was unable to find much room to run, as he managed a long gain of only nine yards on the ground while averaging just 3.3 yards per attempt with a lost fumble. Pollard's biggest impact of the game came on a 29-yard catch on Tennessee's first possession that ultimately set up a field goal. While his stat line wasn't particularly impressive, Pollard should have a very safe workload heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Rams.

|
Smith-Njigba finished with nine receptions on 13 targets for 124 yards with a lost fumble in Sunday's 17-13 loss to San Francisco.
|
Smith-Njigba had his coming out party as the unquestioned No. 1 option in Seattle following the departure of DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh this past offseason. The 23-year-old Smith-Njigba received 10 more looks than the next receiver (Cooper Kupp), immediately becoming new starting quarterback Sam Darnold's favorite target. JSN did suffer from a case of fumblitis when he put two balls on the ground (losing possession of one), something the wideout will surely work to clean up in practice. Smith-Njigba will look to build off a promising start to the campaign when the Seahawks take on the Steelers next Sunday.

|
Folk went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.
|
Folk opened Sunday's scoring with a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter before converting on a 51-yard try late in the second quarter to give the Jets a nine-point lead. Folk signed with the Jets in late July after spending the prior two seasons with the Titans, during which he was one of the most accurate kickers in the league. Next up for Folk and the Jets is an AFC East clash against the Bills on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Diggs secured six of seven targets for 57 yards in the Patriots' 20-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
|
Making his team debut and suiting up for his first taste of game action since Week 8 of last season with the Texans, Diggs finished tied for the team lead in receptions while checking in second in targets. While nothing spectacular from a fantasy perspective, Diggs' numbers were encouraging considering it was his first experience working with quarterback Drake Maye in a game setting, and it appears evident he'll be a key target for the second-year signal-caller moving forward. Diggs next takes aim at a defense he's highly familiar with from his days with the Bills, that of the Dolphins, in a Week 2 road matchup next Sunday.

Murray recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Thursday's loss to the Eagles.
|
Matt Eberflus' defensive scheme tends to boost the tackle totals of his linebackers, and Murray was the recipient of that boost in Week 1 as he tied safety Malik Hooker for the team lead in tackles for Dallas. Murray could have some IDP value in deeper formats, but DeMarvion Overshown (knee) should be the team's impact player at linebacker once he comes off the PUP list.

The Titans officially placed Spears (ankle) on the injured reserve/designated for return list Tuesday.
|
The move ensures that Spears, who has been managing a high-ankle sprain, will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. Tony Pollard will lead the team's backfield, with Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings (ankle) left to handle complementary snaps in Spears' absence, though it's possible that the Titans will add another running back from among other teams' cut-downs.

Allen is in line to begin the 2025 regular season as the Lions' No. 2 quarterback, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
|
Allen was in a battle with Hendon Hooker for the No. 2 slot at quarterback behind Jared Goff in Detroit, and Allen ultimately won out when Hooker was cut Monday. In Allen's last regular-season start back in 2022 with Houston, he completed 20 of 39 pass attempts for 201 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, adding two rushes for one yard.

The Vikings are signing Wentz to a contract, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.
|
Wentz had a tryout with Minnesota on Saturday, and the team apparently liked what it saw from the veteran QB. Heading into the weekend, Sam Howell had been slated to back up starter J.J. McCarthy for the Vikings, but Howell was traded to the Eagles on Sunday in a deal that also included draft picks. The trade cleared the way for Wentz to be the obvious No. 2 QB in Minnesota, giving the club a veteran backup with plenty of prior success and a mentor for McCarthy, who hasn't yet played in his first NFL regular-season game.

Johnson (Achilles) participated in team drills at Tuesday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
|
It marks the first time Johnson has done team drills since being activated from the active/PUP list last week. Johnson tore his Achilles in Week 2 of last season but is expected to be available in some sort of capacity for Week 1 against the Steelers on Sept. 7.

Coach John Harbaugh said after Saturday's 31-13 preseason victory at Dallas that Loop is the Ravens' kicker for the 2025 campaign, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
|
Baltimore used a sixth-round pick on Loop in this year's draft, seemingly with the intent to replace long-time kicker Justin Tucker, who was released not long after and eventually suspended 10 games. Loop was vying with undrafted rookie John Hoyland during the offseason program and the early stages of training camp, but the latter was waived on Aug. 2, leaving Loop as the sole kicker on the Ravens' roster since then. Loop has responded by connecting on six of eight field-goal attempts through two preseason contests and now is locked in as the team's placekicker moving forward.

Carter has been used in various roles during OTAs as the Giants try to balance his playing time with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
|
Burns and Thibodeaux are the nominal starters at outside linebacker, but the Giants deployed numerous packages featuring all three pass rushers, including some sets in which Carter shifted inside. The third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft also got some reps with the second-team defense, including one on which Carter sacked Jameis Winston.
