| 9/13/2025 11:16:00 PM | Judkins (personal), who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Baltimore, will likely be available to play on a limited snap count, but the Browns eventually expect him to settle into a starting role, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| The Browns used a second-round draft pick in April on Judkins, so it's no surprise that they envision him eventually ascending to the top of the depth chart. The Ohio State product navigated a legal issue throughout training camp and didn't sign his rookie contract until last Saturday, so he's understandably not ramped up to a full workload. All expectations are that Judkins will be able to play Sunday, though, and Rapoport suggests that the rookie will "have the snaps of a backup running back." Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford should also be part of the backfield mix Sunday, but they could both cede snaps to Judkins if the latter takes hold of the starting role as soon as Week 3. | |
| 9/13/2025 2:35:00 PM | Bowers (knee) is practicing with the team Saturday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports. |
| Bowers didn't practice Thursday or Friday, so his presence at Saturday's practice was critical to his chances of playing Monday versus the Chargers. The Raiders will reveal later in the afternoon whether Bowers practiced with limitations or if he'll carry a questionable tag into Monday's game. Fantasy managers may need to plan ahead at tight end if Bowers is tagged as questionable, because the Raiders have the final game of the week, which kicks off at 10:00 p.m. ET on Monday. | |
| 9/12/2025 12:24:00 AM | Samuel secured seven of eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown and returned two kickoffs for 78 yards in the Commanders' 27-18 loss to the Packers on Thursday night. |
| The Commanders' air attack was mostly stuck in neutral for a significant portion of the night, but Samuel was able to offer some solace to fantasy managers by recording 12- and 10-yard grabs on Washington's final scoring drive. The latter play also resulted in Samuel's second touchdown in as many games in a Commanders uniform, and he's now encouragingly logged 18 targets through his first two games with Jayden Daniels. Samuel next takes aim at the Raiders defense in a Week 3 home matchup on Sunday, Sept. 21. | |
| 9/10/2025 5:55:00 PM | Rodgers (back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle. |
| Rodgers told reporters Wednesday that back tightness impacted his mobility during a 34-32 win over the Jets this past Sunday. He's apparently moved past it, healthy for Week 2 and hoping to build on a four-TD showing in his Steelers debut. | |
| 9/10/2025 5:21:00 PM | Hill, who was limited at practice last Wednesday and Thursday, is not listed on the Dolphins' Week 2 injury report, Travis Wingfield of the team's official site reports. |
| Hill managed oblique and calf issues leading up to Week 1 action, but he didn't carry an injury designation ahead of Miami's 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday and is now off the injury report altogether. Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, on the subject of recent domestic violence allegations pertaining to Hill -- that are being reviewed by the league, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network -- coach Mike McDaniel noted Wednesday, "we've been in communication with the NFL and will let the process play out." In Miami's regular-season opener, Hill was on the field for 62 percent of the team's snaps on offense and caught four of his six targets for 40 yards. | |
| 9/10/2025 12:15:00 PM | Thompson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. |
| Thompson popped up on the Steelers' injury report with a hamstring injury prior to their Week 1 win over the Jets, and the issue now appears serious enough for him to land on IR. Pittsburgh's emergency third quarterback will now miss at least four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 7 against the Bengals. With rookie Will Howard (hand) also on IR, the Steelers' quarterback room now consists of just Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph. | |
| 9/9/2025 10:22:00 PM | Pace posted five tackles (two solo) in Monday's 27-24 win against Chicago. |
| Pace finished tied for second on Minnesota with the five stops. The veteran linebacker logged 47 of his team's 67 defensive snaps and will look to stay healthy this year after missing six regular-season contests due to injury in 2024. | |
| 9/9/2025 9:21:00 PM | Byard recorded five tackles (five solo) during Monday's 27-24 loss versus the Vikings. |
| Byard picked up more or less where he left off last season, putting up good numbers despite a very slow-paced game in Week 1. He and the entire Bears defense project to see a lot of looks against the run when they travel to take on Detroit in Week 2. | |
| 9/9/2025 9:07:00 PM | Brisker recorded five tackles (four solo) during Monday's 27-24 loss versus Minnesota. |
| Brisker will probably have better days in the stat sheet this season, but his line was solid considering the Vikings only ran 49 snaps on offense in Week 1. He figures to see a healthy number of opportunities to stop the run when the Bears travel to take on Detroit in Week 2. | |
| 9/9/2025 8:47:00 PM | Nubin recorded five tackles (one solo) during the Giants' loss to the Commanders on Sunday. |
| Nubin had a solid outing, finishing fourth on the team in total tackles.The 24-year-old had a strong rookie campaign last season with 98 tackles (57 solo) and will look to keep up his solid production next week versus the Cowboys. | |
| 9/9/2025 8:44:00 PM | Verse finished with three tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 14-9 win against Houston. |
| Verse also notched one QB hit in the victory. He had dealt with a knee injury for much of training camp but was able to log 57 of Los Angeles' 63 defensive snaps Sunday. Verse is looking to build upon a strong debut campaign during which he recorded 4.5 sacks over 17 regular-season games while winning Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. | |
| 9/9/2025 12:14:00 AM | Davis recorded nine tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Cardinals. |
| The 36-year-old iron man was one of five New Orleans players to line up for every defensive snap Week 1. Fellow off-ball linebacker Pete Werner tied him for a team high in tackles, though the 26-year-old played 91 percent of defensive snaps. Davis and Werner should continue to pace the Saints' defense in tackles this season, but the former looks like he's set to once again serve as the top off-ball linebacker. The Saints will next play versus the 49ers on Sunday. | |
| 9/8/2025 8:29:00 PM | Winfield finished with four tackles (one solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's 23-20 Week 1 win over Atlanta. |
| Winfield had a relatively quiet game statistically, but he made a key pass breakup with time winding down late in the fourth quarter as the Falcons were driving down the field. Perhaps most importantly, Winfield looked healthy after playing in only eight regular-season games last year and missing time during training camp due to injury. Winfield logged 74 of Tampa Bay's 76 defensive snaps Sunday. | |
| 9/8/2025 7:36:00 PM | Baker recorded 10 tackles (five solo), including one tackle for loss, and one pass defensed in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Saints. |
| Baker was on the field for 100 percent of defensive snaps and led the Cardinals in total tackles. He's coming off a career-best season in 2024 when he posted 164 stops, and he'll be one of the most important defensive players in Arizona once again in 2025. Baker logged double-digit tackles in seven of 17 games last season, and he got the 2025 campaign off to a fast start in that regard. | |
| 9/8/2025 2:46:00 PM | Robinson rushed nine times for 33 yards and had one reception for four yards on two targets in Sunday's 17-13 win over Seattle. |
| Robinson had a smooth debut with San Francisco after being dealt from Washington just weeks before the start of the regular season. The 2022 third-round pick slotted directly behind starter Christian McCaffrey and handled 10 touches while playing 18 snaps on offense (24 percent). Robinson and his downhill running style should continue spelling McCaffrey while receiving a handful of touches against the Saints next Sunday. | |
| 9/7/2025 10:27:00 PM | Ruckert caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers. |
| Ruckert had one more target than Mason Taylor, though the rookie second-round pick turned his only look into a 20-yard catch. Ruckert looks like he'll have some involvement on offense, but the 2022 third-round draft pick hasn't scored a touchdown through 42 NFL games. | |
| 9/7/2025 9:26:00 PM | Borregales went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try in the Patriots' 20-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday. |
| Borregales beat out John Parker Romo for the Patriots' kicking job over the summer. He pushed a 40-yard attempt wide to the right on his first field-goal try in the second quarter Sunday but came back to make his next two, converting from 35 and 44 yards. Borregales was selected in the sixth round of the 2025 Draft out of Miami. | |
| 9/7/2025 5:35:00 PM | Burrow completed 14 of 23 passes for 113 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed twice for three yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns. |
| Burrow and the Bengals had the ball for only 24:11 and ran just 49 offensive plays. On top of the limited volume, Burrow managed only 5.0 yards per attempt, with his longest completion going for just 20 yards. He did manage to throw a one-yard touchdown to Noah Fant in an otherwise disappointing performance. Burrow should be in for a resurgent showing in Week 2 against Jacksonville. | |
| 9/7/2025 5:06:00 PM | Wilson caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers. |
| Wilson put the Jets in front with a 33-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, and he came two yards from the end zone again on a 21-yard catch in the third, leading to a Justin Fields rushing score on the next play. He was the clear top option in the passing game, as Breece Hall was a distant second in both targets (four) and receiving yards (38), but Wilson will regret his inability to hold onto the ball on the Jets' final offensive play, as Jalen Ramsey dislodged the ball from his hands on fourth down, preventing what would have been a game-extending catch. With Wilson showing strong chemistry with Fields, the talented wide receiver should remain a strong fantasy option against the Bills in Week 2. | |
| 9/6/2025 12:07:00 PM | Harris rushed once for five yards and secured his only target for another five yards during Friday's 27-21 victory over Kansas City. |
| Head coach Jim Harbaugh said in advance of Friday's opener that Harris would play but that Omarion Hampton would draw the start, and the rookie ultimately handled a workhorse role. Hampton totaled 17 touches against the Chiefs' firm defensive front, rushing 15 times for 48 yards and securing both of his targets for 13 yards. Harris' backfield role could grow as he puts further distance between himself and the minor eye injury that forced him to sit out all of training camp and the preseason, but Hampton looks solidified as the starter in Los Angeles' backfield and projects to dominate touches again in Week 2 on the road against Las Vegas. | |
| 9/5/2025 11:26:00 PM | Butker went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts but missed his lone extra-point try during the Chiefs' 27-21 loss to the Chargers on Friday. |
| The Chiefs' offense struggled in the first half, but Butker helped his team get on the board with a 35-yard field goal in the second quarter before connecting on a 59-yard try as the first half came to a close. The veteran kicker capped things off by converting on a 27-yard chip shot late in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't a perfect night for him after his extra-point try in the third missed wide right. Butker attempted just 25 field-goal attempts in 2024 but was limited to 13 regular-season games due to a left knee injury. As long as the Chiefs are led by Patrick Mahomes, Butker's floor should be one of the highest among kickers on a week-to-week basis. | |
| 9/5/2025 12:28:00 AM | Barkley rushed 18 times for 60 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of five targets for 24 yards in the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night. |
| In what was his first taste of game action since the Super Bowl victory over the Chiefs in February, Barkley often found running room hard to come by against a game Cowboys front seven. While the defending rushing champion's longest run of the night was only 16 yards, Barkley still made an impact via a 10-yard rushing touchdown shortly before halftime, as well as some productive work as an outlet receiver. Barkley was outgained in rushing yards by Jalen Hurts (62 yards), but that should be a rare occurrence moving forward. Another marquee matchup awaits Week 2, as the Eagles visit the Chiefs for a Super Bowl rematch on Sunday, Sept. 14. | |
| 8/28/2025 11:12:00 AM | The Steelers placed Howard (hand) on injured reserve Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. |
| Howard will have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season as he works his way back from a fractured bone in his left hand suffered during practice Aug. 5. That injury caused him to miss the entire preseason. Once healthy, the rookie sixth-round pick figures to operate as Pittsburgh's emergency No. 3 quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph. | |
| 8/21/2025 11:50:00 PM | Rudolph completed six of eight passes for 36 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception, in a 19-10 preseason loss to Carolina on Thursday. |
| The Steelers played most of their starters for three drives, but they held out QB Aaron Rodgers and WR DK Metcalf, giving Rudolph a chance to play with the first-team offense and throw to a rotating cast of wide receivers. Rudolph failed to produce even a field goal attempt on three drives, while fellow Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson concluded his strong preseason with 152 yards and a TD on 13 pass attempts Thursday night. Rudolph was considered safe in his backup job earlier this summer, especially after sixth-round pick Will Howard suffered a hand injury, but the Steelers may now want to keep Thompson around or even consider moving him ahead of Rudolph. Either way, Aaron Rodgers will start Week 1 against the Jets. | |
| 7/22/2025 7:12:00 PM | Jewell (head) was released by the Panthers on Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. |
| Jewell has remained in concussion protocol since suffering a concussion in the Panthers' Week 15 overtime win over the Cardinals last season. The linebacker compiled 97 total tackles (51 solo), including a career-high 3.5 sacks, while also adding two fumble recoveries and an interception over 12 regular-season contests with Carolina in 2024. If Jewell can shake the concussion symptoms, it won't take long for him to find another opportunity elsewhere. | |
| 2/15/2025 12:08:00 AM | Browning didn't throw a pass over three regular-season games in 2024. He rushed twice for minus-2 yards. |
| A season-ending injury to Joe Burrow in Week 11 of 2023 gave Browning an opportunity for substantial playing time, but Burrow remained healthy throughout 2024, and Browning consequently spent almost the entire campaign on the bench. Browning signed a two-year contract with Cincinnati last April, so he's slated to work as Burrow's backup again next season. | |
