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.

Jacobs rushed 23 times for 84 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted during the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.
|
The workhorse back was the only Packers running back to log a carry, and Jacobs worked hard for his yards all night considering he had a game-long run of just 10 yards. Jacobs also went in for his second touchdown in as many games on a two-yard run just before the midway point of the second quarter, rounding out his fantasy performance in solid fashion. After logging 43 touches in the first five days of the new season, the veteran back now will get some extra time to ramp up for a Week 3 road matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Jones (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
|
Jones was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder issue, but he was a full go in Thursday's session and is on track to play against the Steelers on Sunday. Jones made his impact felt during the Seahawks' Week 1 loss against the 49ers, when he logged eight tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception.

|
Knight recorded seven tackles (four solo) during the Seahawks' loss to San Francisco on Sunday.
|
Knight had been dealing with a knee injury recently but nonetheless had a solid outing during the team's regular-season opener. The 2024 fourth-round pick logged 88 tackles (41 solo) in 16 games last season and will look to produce similar numbers during the new campaign.

|
Santos went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries during the Bears' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
|
Santos connected on a 42-yard field goal late in the second quarter, but his 50-yard attempt at the beginning of the fourth sailed right, which put the Vikings' in good field position and led to a 13-yard touchdown pass from J.J. McCarthy to Justin Jefferson six plays later. Santos is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he connected on just 21 of 25 field-goal attempts, but his numbers would improve in 2025 if the Bears' offense -- led by first-year head coach Ben Johnson -- is able to move the ball down the field more effectively.
|
9/9/2025 3:42:00 PM
|
Monangai played nine of the Bears' 67 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for an 11-yard reception in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
|
With Roschon Johnson (foot) inactive for Week 1, Monangai began his NFL career as the No. 2 back behind D'Andre Swift, but the rookie seventh-round pick predictably saw limited usage. Though his reception went for a first down and lead to an eventual touchdown, Monangai might have undone any goodwill by committing a drive-killing offensive holding penalty in the second quarter. He didn't have a role on special teams in the opener, so he could be at risk of finding himself on the inactive list when Johnson gets healthy and special-teams standout Travis Homer (calf) returns from the PUP list.
|

|
Odunze caught six of nine targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
|
Odunze kept hope alive for the Bears with a one-yard touchdown catch just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. His nine targets paced the team, though DJ Moore (68) and Olamide Zaccheaus (42) both had more receiving yards Monday. Odunze, a 2024 first-round pick, is set up for a more consistent role in his second NFL season after he had three-plus catches in only nine of 17 games as a rookie. Up next for the Bears is a Week 2 trip to Detroit.

|
Hines-Allen didn't notch any tackles in a Week 1 win against Carolina, though he was credited with a QB hit.
|
Hines-Allen logged 72 percent of Jacksonville's defensive snaps but was unable to make any stops. He was disruptive nonetheless, recording eight QB pressures, per John Shipley of SI.com. Hines-Allen's IDP contributions typically depend on his ability to take down the quarterback -- he's recorded at least 7.0 regular-season sacks in four straight campaigns.
|

|
Bosa recorded six solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.
|
Bosa was a major problem for Seattle, recording a strip sack of Sam Darnold in fourth quarter, recovering the fumble and effectively ending the game. The defensive end has registered at least 9.0 sacks in each of the last four seasons and five of his six total campaigns in the NFL, and he has now picked up where he left off to open 2025.
|
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 7:34:00 PM
|
Okereke recorded 16 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Washington.
|
Okereke's 16 tackles were more than any other player in Week 1 (pending Monday night's game). The hefty total also marked the second-highest tally of his career (he had 17 stops in a contest November 19, 2023). Okereke was limited to 12 games last season and snapped a three-year streak of reaching triple-digit tackles, but he's off to a fast start in his quest to reach that mark again in 2025.
|

|
Ridley recorded four receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.
|
Ridley led the Titans in targets and receptions, but he was not efficient with his chances and was slightly out of sync with Cameron Ward. The duo connected for a 13-yard gain early in the fourth quarter, Ridley's longest catch of the day. However, he had a few passes glance off his hands later in the contest as the Titans tried to mount a comeback, and Ridley had a particularly costly drop on the team's final offensive possession. While it was a disappointing opening line, Ridley should be in for better performances moving forward thanks to his secure role in the Titans' offense.

|
Walker took 10 carries for 20 yards while bringing in all three of his targets for four yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to San Francisco.
|
Walker was a limited participant in practice this week dealing with a minor foot injury, but he was left off the injury report ahead of Sunday's kickoff. The veteran starter struggled to gain traction early, ceding 12 carries to Zach Charbonnet in a near-even split of touches. If a true timeshare has finally developed in Seattle, then Walker's fantasy stock would take a hit after he commanded the lion's share of carries when healthy in years past. Assuming this backfield deployment sticks, both tailbacks would generate flex appeal against the Steelers next Sunday.
|
9/7/2025 9:11:00 PM
|
Jeudy recorded five receptions on eight targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bengals.
|
Jeudy saw decent target volume overall, though Joe Flacco distributed the ball evenly to Harold Fannin, Cedric Tillman and Dylan Sampson. Jeudy narrowly led the team in receiving yards thanks to a meaningless catch in the final seconds of the game to turn in a passable fantasy line. However, he also dropped a target on fourth down early in the fourth quarter and had a pass deflect off his hands to turn the ball over earlier in the contest. Jeudy should have the chance to put together decent fantasy performances so long as Joe Flacco is under center, but it would be reassuring to see him command a higher rate of targets in Week 2 against the Ravens.

Maye completed 30 of 46 passes for 287 yards with a touchdown and an interception and added four rushes for 11 yards in the Patriots' 20-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by New England.
|
Beginning what is to be his first full season as a starter, Maye fought an uphill battle for most of the afternoon in a game where the Patriots found themselves down 7-0 after the opening possession. He would ultimately help keep New England competitive with a two-yard touchdown toss to DeMario Douglas to knot the score at 7-7 later in the first quarter, and he would also lead a late 10-play drive that would culminate in a field goal and put New England within seven points. Maye did an excellent job spreading the ball around by recording completions to nine different pass catchers, and he'll head into a Week 2 divisional road battle against what was a generous Dolphins secondary in Week 1 with plenty of momentum.

|
Mayfield completed 17 of 32 passes for 167 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding five rushes for 39 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
|
Mayfield was considerably less efficient than usual while facing a feisty Falcons defense in a rowdy dome environment, but after some early struggles, the veteran signal-caller was able to awaken the Buccaneers offense with a 30-yard scoring strike to rookie Emeka Egbuka. Mayfield would subsequently connect with Bucky Irving from nine yards out in the third quarter, and he capped off what turned out to be a rewarding fantasy day with a critical 25-yard touchdown toss to Egbuka with just under one minute remaining to erase a 20-17 deficit. Mayfield also finished as Tampa Bay's leading rusher, and his quick chemistry with Egbuka bodes well heading into a tough Week 2 road matchup against the Texans on Monday night, Sept. 15.
|
9/7/2025 5:07:00 PM
|
Irving rushed 14 times for 37 yards and brought in all four targets for eight yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
|
Both Irving and Falcons counterpart Bijan Robinson were stymied by the opposing front seven, but each also found a way to get into the end zone as a receiver. Irving's nine-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter was particularly critical for his fantasy day, as it prevented what would have otherwise been a total washout in that regard. Irving also saw a bit of a lesser rushing workload than might have been expected in the back-and-forth affair, and he could have an uphill climb to an efficient performance again in a Week 2 Monday night road matchup against the Texans on Sept. 15.

Herbert completed 25 of 34 pass attempts for 318 yards and three touchdowns while taking seven carries for 32 yards in Friday's 27-21 victory over Kansas City.
|
Herbert and the Chargers' aerial attack put on a show in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Friday, generating five lengthy scoring drives in a decisive victory over last year's AFC Champions. Head coach Jim Harbaugh let his star quarterback air it out right out of the gates, resulting in Herbert's first 300-yard, three-touchdown performance since Harbaugh took over at the start of last season. If this is truly a shift in offensive philosophy from the three yards and a cloud of dust scheme that L.A. implemented in 2024, then Herbert's fantasy ceiling could rise somewhere closer to the elite production we witnessed from 2020-2022. Next Monday's tilt against the Raiders should be telling on whether Herbert can keep up this type volume.
|
9/5/2025 11:33:00 PM
|
McConkey corralled six of nine targets for 74 yards in Friday's 27-21 win over the Chiefs.
|
McConkey picked up where he left off following an impressive rookie campaign with a healthy dose of involvement in a Week 1 bout in Brazil. Returning WR Keenan Allen led his former club in both targets (10) and receptions (seven), providing a much-needed threat opposite McConkey in the Chargers' passing attack. While McConkey didn't cash in on any of Justin Herbert's three touchdown passes Friday, the shifty receiver still produced strong PPR numbers for a team that appeared to be shifting toward a more pass-friendly offense in 2025. The Chargers will receive a few extra days of rest before taking on the Raiders on Monday, Sept. 15.
|

|
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.
|
9/5/2025 12:35:00 AM
|
Lamb secured seven of 13 targets for 110 yards in the Cowboys' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.
|
The final line is certainly aesthetically pleasing for fantasy purposes, but it's a couple of the targets that Lamb failed to corral that loom largest over the Cowboys' surprisingly close loss. The star wideout couldn't find the handle on a crisp Dak Prescott third-down throw on the first play of the fourth quarter, and he subsequently saw a perfectly timed lob down the left sideline on fourth down skirt through his hands as he dove for the ball just past the two-minute warning. Lamb did quickly get his first 100-yard effort of the season on the board, and despite his untimely drops, he'll naturally be in line for another busy afternoon when the Cowboys host the Giants in their Week 2 home opener on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Bridgewater is line to serve as Baker Mayfield's top backup ahead of Week 1, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
|
Per Fowler, the Buccaneers plan to move on from Kyle Trask, who is dealing with a shoulder issue and is slated to be let go with an injury designation. Fowler notes that in such a scenario, Trask would then revert to IR and subsequently look to reach an injury settlement with the team, which would allow him to sign elsewhere once healthy. Bridgewater last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Lions.

Lance completed five of eight passes for 38 yards in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.
|
Lance drew the start with Justin Herbert resting, though he notably played ahead of Taylor Heinicke. Lance didn't lead a scoring drive, but he did have completions of 11 and 17 yards to Jalen Reagor to account for the majority of his production. It remains to be seen if Lance or Heinicke will serve as the No. 2 quarterback in Week 1 against Kansas City, though Lance has primarily played well with plenty of opportunity this preseason.

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.

Dobbs agreed to a two-year contract with the Patriots on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
|
Dobbs served as a reserve quarterback for the 49ers in 2024 but got the Week 18 start with Brock Purdy (elbow) sidelined and Brandon Allen already earning a start himself Week 12. Between a pair of appearances, Dobbs completed 32 of 47 passes for 361 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, rushed nine times for 24 yards and two TDs and fumbled twice (one lost). In stints with five different teams, he's made 15 starts with a 3-12 record, so he brings an experienced hand behind rising second-year QB Drake Maye in New England.

|
Van Noy finished the 2024 regular season with 41 tackles (25 solo), including 12.5 sacks, two pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 games.
|
Van Noy signed a two-year, $9 million contract extension with the Ravens in April of 2024 following a 2023 campaign in which he logged a career-high 9.0 sacks. He followed that up with an even better 2024 season, leading the Ravens with 12.5 sacks, which was the fourth most in the NFL behind Trey Hendrickson (17.5), Myles Garrett (14.0) and Nik Bonitto (13.5). Despite the increased production, Van Noy was not named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster, but he doesn't show any signs of slowing down heading into his 12th NFL season in 2025.
