Walker finished Thursday's 27-18 win over Washington with eight tackles (four solo).
|
Walker popped up on Tuesday's estimated injury report due to a quad issue. The 2022 first-rounder was given the green light to play Thursday and played all 69 defensive snaps, finishing with the second most tackles behind Edgerrin Cooper (10). Walker is up to 17 tackles on the season, which matches his total through the first two weeks of the 2024 campaign.

The Falcons elevated Romo from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
|
After Younghoe Koo missed a game-tying field-goal try late in the fourth quarter in the team's Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, the Falcons worked out a number of kickers Monday. Atlanta ultimately signed Romo to its practice squad following his workout, and the 28-year-old will now get the chance to take over as the team's kicker for at least one week. The Falcons have already announced that Koo won't make the trip to Minnesota for Sunday's game in a coach's decision, paving the way for Romo to step in and potentially earn himself a longer-term stay in Atlanta if he performs well in his team debut. Romo's previous NFL action came with Minnesota in 2024, when he converted 11 of 12 field-goal tries and seven of eight extra-point attempts over four games.

Koo didn't travel with the team to Minnesota and won't play in Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
|
Parker Romo -- who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday -- will take over as the Falcons' kicker for at least one game, though it wouldn't be surprising if he permanently usurps Koo on the depth chart with a strong showing in Minnesota. Koo will end up ceding kicking duties to Romo in Week 2 after missing a 44-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers. His struggles date back to last season, when he connected on just 73.5 percent of his field-goal tries after hitting at least 86 percent in each of the previous five seasons.

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.
|
9/11/2025 11:55:00 PM
|
Daniels completed 24 of 42 passes for 200 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding seven rushes for 17 yards in the Commanders' 27-18 loss to the Packers on Thursday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.
|
Daniels' final line was serviceable from a fantasy perspective, but the second-year signal-caller compiled a portion of his numbers against a Packers defense playing to protect a relatively comfortable lead. He managed to avoid any turnovers and made matters somewhat interesting ub rgw diyerg by helming a 10-play, 65-yard march that he capped with a 10-yard touchdown toss to Deebo Samuel in the latter portion of the fourth quarter, while adding a two-point conversion toss to Luke McCaffrey on the following play. Daniels previously also connected with Zach Ertz from 20 yards out for his first scoring pass of the night early in the fourth quarter, and he was a bit more productive when targeting Terry McLaurin (5-48-0) than in the opener against the Giants. Daniels and the Commanders now get some extra time to prepare for a Week 3 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 21.
|
9/11/2025 7:15:00 PM
|
Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Packers but will serve as the Commanders' emergency third-string quarterback.
|
As the emergency quarterback, Johnson will be allowed to see the field Thursday only if Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota become unavailable due to injury, illness or ejection.
|
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.

The Bills signed Prater off their practice squad Tuesday.
|
Though Buffalo would have had the ability to elevate Prater from the practice squad in advance of two more games, the Bills may have chosen to sign the 41-year-old to the 53-man roster to avoid having him being poached by the 49ers or Falcons, both of whom could be breaking in new kickers in Week 2. Prater is likely to stick around as the Bills' kicker for the duration of the absence of Tyler Bass (hip/groin), who was placed on injured reserve prior to the start of the season and will miss at least three more games. The veteran Prater proved to be reliable in his Bills debut this past Sunday, knocking down both of his point-after attempts in addition to converting on field-goal tries of 25, 43 and 32 yards in Buffalo's 41-40 win over Baltimore, the last of which was the game-winner as time expired.

|
Hutchinson failed to record any stats while playing 45 defensive snaps in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Packers.
|
Hutchinson made his much-anticipated return to action after missing the last 12 regular-season contests of the 2024 campaign while recovering from a season-ending leg injury. The 25-year-old played 96 percent of the defensive snaps against Green Bay, certainly a positive, but he was unable to make his mark on the contest. Hutchinson will look to be more productive in Week 2 versus Chicago.
|
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 2:08:00 PM
|
Wilson tallied seven total tackles (four solo) and two passes defended in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.
|
Wilson had to leave Sunday's contest for a brief moment while being evaluated for a concussion, but he remained one of Cincinnati's most impactful defenders. The Wyoming product had his 2024 campaign cut short due to a knee injury, but across his 11 appearances, he still managed 104 total tackles, two forced fumbles and one pass defended. Wilson is likely to continue serving as one of the Bengals' defensive leaders ahead of a Week 2 matchup with the Jaguars.
|
9/8/2025 7:44:00 AM
|
Marks had three carries for three yards in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams in Week 1.
|
Marks, a 2025 fourth-round draft pick, entered the regular season as the fourth back on the depth chart, and nothing about Sunday's usage changed that. He's solidly behind Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale and will have to be patient and wait for his opportunities.
|
9/7/2025 11:24:00 PM
|
Chubb took 13 carries for 60 yards while failing to bring in his only target in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams.
|
Chubb was the Texans' lead back as expected Sunday, receiving 10 more carries than the next running back on the depth chart. The 29-year-old flashed glimpses of his former All-Pro form with a healthy average of 4.6 yards per carry. Catastrophic injuries derailed the end of Chubb's tenure with Cleveland, but a clean bill of health could result in a career renaissance with Houston. With Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) still without a timetable to return, Chubb is worth a look against the Buccaneers next Monday if he went overlooked in drafts.
|
9/7/2025 10:43:00 PM
|
Montgomery rushed the ball 11 times for 25 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Packers. He added four receptions on four targets for 18 yards.
|
The Lions' offense struggled to get on track, which led to underwhelming performances for nearly all of their skill-position players. Montgomery wasn't an exception, but he did manage 15 touches, nearly evenly matching Jahmyr Gibbs' 19. A more typical game script may change how the backs are deployed, but Montgomery still appears to have a significant role in Detroit's backfield heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Bears.
|
9/7/2025 9:53:00 PM
|
Stroud completed 19 of 27 pass attempts for 188 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while taking five carries for 32 yards in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams.
|
Stroud struggled to finish drives Sunday, leading three lengthy possessions that ended in field-goal attempts. A second-half interception cemented the signal-caller's poor outing and a loss to begin the 2025 campaign. Stroud and his fantasy managers were hoping for a better start after the offense petered out down the stretch last season. Houston will have an extra day to figure things out offensively before hosting the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 2.
|
9/7/2025 7:37:00 PM
|
Metcalf recorded four receptions on seven targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 34-32 win over the Jets.
|
Metcalf led the Steelers in targets and yards in his debut with the team, with the majority of his production coming after the catch. He logged long gains of 31 and 23 yards on quick screens in the first quarter before working over the middle for an 18-yard gain late in the third quarter. Jonnu Smith and Calvin Austin were also heavily targeted in the offense, so Metcalf may have inconsistent results. However, he had a strong Week 1 performance with his new team.
|
9/7/2025 5:23:00 PM
|
Allen rushed six times for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers. He wasn't targeted in the passing game.
|
Allen was stopped short on a two-point conversion attempt in the first quarter but bounced back with an eight-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. His five other carries produced just one yard, while Breece Hall turned 21 touches into 145 yards. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound Allen could work as the more powerful complement to the shifty Hall in a run-heavy Jets offense, but Allen won't get many opportunities if he continues to get stuffed on the majority of his carries. Allen will look to improve his efficiency in Week 2 against the Bills.
|
9/7/2025 5:10:00 PM
|
Chase recorded two receptions on five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.
|
The Bengals managed a surprisingly low 141 net yards, limiting the production of all their skill-position players. Chase tied for the team lead with five targets -- Joe Burrow attempted only 23 passes -- and also was responsible for the team's longest play from scrimmage on a 20-yard catch midway through the second quarter. While it was a disappointing start to the season, Chase and the entire Cincinnati offense should produce better 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.
|
9/7/2025 4:30:00 PM
|
Achane rushed seven times for 55 yards and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
|
Achane was certainly efficient on the ground, but his opportunities were capped by a surprising game script that saw the Colts already ahead by a 20-0 margin at halftime. The speedy back did offer underwhelmed fantasy managers some solace with his fourth-quarter 11-yard touchdown reception, and more opportunities on the ground should be available in a Week 2 home matchup against the Patriots.
|
9/6/2025 10:53:00 PM
|
James recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one tackle for a loss in Friday's 27-21win over the Chiefs.
|
James was on the field for all 61 defensive plays, one of three Chargers defenders to do so. He also logged two quarterback hits, which is notable considering he had six across all of the 2024 regular season. It was a solid start to the season for James, and he'll remain one of the most important members of the defense moving forward.
|
9/6/2025 12:25:00 AM
|
Hampton rushed 15 times for 48 yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Friday's 27-21 victory over Kansas City.
|
Hampton was deployed as the every-down starter Friday, generating 15 more combined touches than Najee Harris (eye). The team could have been easing Harris back after he suffered an eye injury that held the back out for all of training camp and the preseason, but the stark difference in touches points the fantasy value arrow strongly in Hampton's direction to kick off the year. If the North Carolina product continues to dominate the backfield work moving forward, he could prove to be an even greater draft day steal than managers originally hoped. Hampton's volume combined with a plus matchup against the Raiders next Monday make him a solid play Week 2.
|
9/5/2025 4:14:00 PM
|
The Bills placed Bass (left hip/groin) on injured reserve Friday.
|
Bass dealt with what at the time was termed a pelvic injury in the early days of training camp but still was able to suit up in Buffalo's preseason finale, connecting on three of four field-goal attempts and both point-after tries. He then mustered just one limited practice during Week 1 prep due to left hip and groin concerns before the team made the decision to shut him down for at least the first four games of the season. The Bills will need to elevate Matt Prater from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday night's showdown with the Ravens.
|
9/3/2025 4:16:00 PM
|
Mariota (Achilles) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
|
Mariota spent much of training camp and the preseason managing Achilles tendinitis, but as expected, he's ready to rock for Week 1. The veteran signal-caller will operate as Jayden Daniels' backup versus the Giants on Sunday, while Josh Johnson handles emergency quarterback duties.
|
9/2/2025 4:10:00 PM
|
Mills and the Texans agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $7 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
|
Mills had been ticketed for free agency next spring, but for the second September in a row, the Texans have given him some extra security in the form of a one-year extension. The $7 million deal is fully guaranteed, which should ensure that Mills faces no real competition for the No. 2 role heading into 2026. He'll be entering his third straight season as C.J. Stroud's backup and won't be in line for anything more than spot duty so long as Stroud is healthy. Through his first two NFL seasons, Stroud has missed just two games, with both absences coming late in his rookie campaign while he recovered from a concussion.

The Jaguars won't exercise Lloyd's fifth-year option, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
|
The 2022 first-round pick out of Utah has been one of the Jaguars' top tacklers over the past three seasons, ranking second on the team with 355 total tackles across 48 regular-season contests. Lloyd has also been been a valuable asset in coverage, recording 19 passes defended, including three interceptions, since entering the league. Despite the team declining his fifth-year option, Lloyd is expected to remain one of Jacksonville's top inside linebackers in 2025, likely starting alongside Foyesade Oluokun.
