Last Week In Fantasy: Week 2

Dynasty / By /

Week 2 was dominated by injuries, and unfortunately, that comes with the territory. But with Week 3 just a day away (or already here, depending on when this finds you), let’s dig into some Week 2 stats and see if we can find an edge on our leaguemates.

Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr. has a combined four targets through two games and has scored fewer than five fantasy points. Among 103 receivers with 25 or more routes, he ranks 100th in target rate. I’m sitting Harrison until further notice.

Stash! Really, I’d be selling low at this point, but his price is too low for what he could be if he ever reaches his potential.

Atlanta Falcons: Drake London must have Drake London on his fantasy team, because he was not happy on Sunday. Just ask the fan he got into it with. Michael Penix Jr. takes over the offense this week, and things can only go up from here. In 2025, with Penix at QB, Bijan Robinson averaged 22.7 PPG, London averaged 19.5 PPG, and Kyle Pitts averaged 13 PPG. New coaching staff, sure, but the talent hasn’t gone anywhere.

Buy Atlanta players before they blow up.

Baltimore Ravens: Mark Andrews has six or more targets in back-to-back games, and with Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar gone, the tight end room is all his. Zay Flowers already missed Week 2 and could miss again this week. Rashod Bateman is Andrews’ only real competition for targets, and Andrews will continue to eat.

Buy Andrews in every format if you’re contending.

Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen looks like he’s going to break fantasy this year, and Dalton Kincaid looks to be the main beneficiary. Kincaid has 225 receiving yards through two games and is currently the TE2 on an offense that has scored 35 or more points in back-to-back weeks.

Buy all the Kincaid you can, and grab Dawson Knox too. He’s a formidable backup in case of injury.

Carolina Panthers: Bryce Young has back-to-back games with three touchdown passes, but the real story is Chuba Hubbard. With Jonathon Brooks headed for core muscle surgery and at least six weeks on IR, Hubbard is in line for even more work. He’s averaging 17.5 PPG. Keep an eye on Austin Ekeler, who’s working out for Carolina this week.

Buy HIGH on Hubbard and this much-improved Panthers offense.

Chicago Bears: Colston Loveland continues to disappoint, and with Caleb Williams out, who knows what to make of the Bears’ skill players. I’m still starting Loveland one more week in hopes of a big game.

Stash! Everyone is probably trying to buy low, so holding is the way to go for now.

4 Biggest Dynasty Storylines in Week 3

Dynasty / By /

After a high-scoring Week 1, Week 2 was defined by defenses bouncing back and Caleb Williams memes. Week 3 sees the NFL return to Brazil, the return of Michael Penix, and the Browns’ home opener. Oh, and Deshaun Watson will still be the starter. 

Let’s dive into the biggest dynasty storylines in Week 3. 

Quarterback Injury Crisis 

The dynasty superflex quarterback streets are grim. It’s tough out here. Case Keenum has been picked up from the waiver wire. In Week 2, Jaxson Dart, Jayden Daniels, and Caleb Williams went down with injuries. At the time of writing, Jaxson Dart could miss the entire season with a knee injury, Jayden Daniels is seeking specialist advice on how to stop falling to pieces (200g protein and 5g creatine could be a start); and Caleb Williams has replaced JJ McCarthy as the meme du jour. 

With Kyler Murray and Michael Penix set to return to action, we will have four backup quarterbacks starting in Week 3. In one of my leagues, I had to start Deshaun Watson. I know. I had to take a long shower afterwards. I ended up losing to a Davante Adams 40 piece which, at least as far as I’m concerned, is proof of karma.

A backup quarterback is typically a harbinger of doom for your fantasy studs.

Dynasty Stashes – Week 3

Dynasty / By /

Emanuel Wilson (RB – SEA)

I looked at the box score, and my jaw nearly dropped when I saw how many carries Emanuel Wilson had in Week 2. In just his second game with the Seahawks, he carried the rock 21 times, a number that Kenneth Walker — you know, the reigning Super Bowl MVP — hadn’t reached in a regular-season game with Seattle since Week 6 of 2023. Wild stuff. 

Now, most of Wilson’s work came in garbage time with Seattle blowing out a hapless Arizona team. Still, that type of workload warrants attention, especially with rookie Jadarian Price dealing with a shoulder injury. If he can’t go this week, Wilson could be a sneak RB2 start against a Washington defense that currently ranks 26th in EPA/play (0.09), per SumerSports data.

If you are dealing with injuries at the running back position, grab Wilson, who’s available in roughly 60% of leagues on Sleeper. Seattle is a team that wants to win with tough defense and a physical rushing attack. Against an 0-2 Commanders team missing their starting quarterback, we could see a similar game script to last week. 

That could mean another 15-plus carries for Wilson in a next-man-up role.

Dynasty Data Trendz: Week 2

Dynasty / By /

Fantasy point production is not always the best predictor of future fantasy point production. One blown coverage or short touchdown can instantly make a player’s otherwise pedestrian week look great for fantasy..

This is where usage trends come in. A player’s usage is a better predictor of what kind of future fantasy production we should expect. You can use this to target Dynasty owners who may be otherwise disenchanted with a low macro fantasy output, while you know the underlying factors are healthy. On the other hand, you can also utilize usage trends to see which players may have a concerning trend relative to their historical valuation that you may want to consider trading.

*Data Sources: PFF, Fantasy Pros, NFL Pro, Next Gen Stats*

1. Bryce Young Fantasy PPG by year

2023 – 10.4
2024 – 14.6
2025 – 14.3
2026 – 32.4  !!!!!

2. Target Share Leaders through Week 2

Jaxon Smith-Njigba – 44.0%
Parker Washington – 36.7%
Justin Jefferson – 35.7%
Amon-Ra St. Brown – 35.1%
DeVonta Smith – 33.9%
Davante Adams – 28.1%
CeeDee Lamb – 27.9%
Christian Watson – 27.5%
Chris Olave – 27.4%
Jalen Coker – 27.3%
Tetairoa McMillan – 27.3%

3. Could we see the first-ever 40% target share season from JSN this year? He currently sits at a staggering 44%.

4. From a Dynasty buy standpoint, Christian Watson is very interesting. Watson has always been a premier yards-per-route, run performer. However, he has never been a premier target earner. When you combine those two, you get a WR1. He is priced as the WR27 by the Dynasty community on Keep Trade Cut. 

5. I wrote this in last week’s article: “I would be buying Stefon Diggs as a contender. He is probably the best option you can get for a 3rd that will be a reliable starter. Jayden Daniels was running for his life. Diggs is a reliable quick outlet, whereas McLaurin is a downfield threat.” Diggs obliged with a stout 21.7 fantasy points in Week 2.

6. In case you had any reservations about Parker Washington. Remove them. He is 100% the real deal, Holyfield.

4 Biggest Dynasty Storylines Heading into Week Two

Dynasty / By /

Week One is officially in the books. After over 200 days of waiting, Week One lived up to expectations as offenses and fantasy stalwarts put up some huge numbers. Of course, there were some duds. The less said about Colston Loveland’s goose egg, the better. Especially on a day the Bears scored 59 points. I’m not bitter, I promise. 

Here are the biggest dynasty storylines heading into Week Two. 

Year Two Quarterbacks 

One of the most intriguing NFL subplots is the 2025 quarterback class. Whilst Cam Ward didn’t have the collegiate equity of a Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence, he was a lock at No.1 for a Titans team in desperate need of a quarterback. Ward struggled in Year One, ranking bottom 3 in both EPA/dropback and CPOE, but the offensive environment was bad. In Week One against the Jets, Ward’s struggles continued as the Titans logged under 200 yards of offense. 

Cam Ward’s struggles were highlighted by both Jaxson Dart and Tyler Shough. Both put together strong performances against some admittedly bad defenses. Shough leads the NFL in passing yards, whilst Dart delivered arguably his most accomplished performance. The Giants ranked in the 95th percentile in EPA / play and success rate. 

Heading into Week Two, Ward faces another stern test against the Eagles. Meanwhile, Shough and Dart go on the road to the Ravens and the Rams, respectively.

rocket sanders (1)

Dynasty Stashes – Week 2

Dynasty / By /

Raheim Sanders (RB – CLE)

If Raheim “Rocket” Sanders wasn’t scooped up in your league’s initial waiver run this week, make sure you grab him. With Dylan Sampson now on IR with a knee injury, Sanders steps into the RB2 role behind Quinshon Judkins.

We saw Sanders get some work at the end of last year when Judkins went down with an injury. In the final three games, he toted the rock 24 times for 89 scoreless yards and caught three passes for 21 yards. 

Worst case, Sanders takes over Sampson’s pass-catching role, which is what we saw on Sunday. The second-year back caught all three of his targets for 25 yards against the Jaguars. 

Given Cleveland’s offensive environment, Sanders won’t have much standalone value unless Judkins is sidelined for any reason. But there’s some talent here. He rushed for over 1,400 yards at Arkansas in 2022. As a senior at South Carolina, he amassed 1,197 total yards, caught 27 passes, and found pay dirt 13 times. Sanders also ran a 4.46 40-yard dash at roughly 220 pounds. 

That combination of size and athleticism makes him worth stashing for the contingent upside alone.

Roman Wilson (WR – PIT)

In the future, rookie Germie Bernard might be a stud. But if Sunday’s usage is any indication of how the snaps are going to shake out, then he might not be a thing this season. 

Roman Wilson might be, though. After a couple of years of being an afterthought for the Steelers, it looks like he’s finally involved in the passing attack. 

Wilson played 55% of the snaps and received the most targets he’s ever seen in a game in his young career: six. He finished the day catching three for 26 yards, but his day could’ve been much, much better. 

He beat A.J. Terrell on a go ball that should’ve been a 65-yard touchdown. Wilson had a clean release off the line and stacked Terrell down the field, forcing the corner to interfere and essentially tackle Wilson rather than give up the long score.

Wilson also dropped a 40-plus-yard score at the end of the first half. Granted, he had a defender draped all over him, but the deep ball hit Wilson right in the hands, and he should’ve caught it.

If either of those plays hit, we’re talking about Wilson being a must-roster player in all formats rather than a deep dynasty stash. Funny how small the margins are. 

Go grab him if he’s still out there in the available player pool. Aaron Rodgers talked up Wilson throughout the offseason and backed up that praise in Week 1 with a few deep shots that should’ve resulted in touchdowns.

Dynasty Buy and Sell: Week 1

Dynasty / By /

It’s that time of year when teams start to show who’s built for the long haul and who’s running on fumes. The bye weeks are hitting hard, injuries are piling up, and depth starts to matter. Every move from here on out counts. That’s where we make our money: finding those buy windows before they slam shut and moving off guys right before the drop comes. With that, let’s dive right into my top four “buys” and “sells” from a dynasty perspective following Week 1. 

Buys

Dak Prescott (QB – DAL) – Not going to be in many low-scoring games this year. The defense doesn’t look any better. Should throw at least 2 touchdowns weekly.

Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE) – They were getting blown out most of the game, and the Jaguars made sure to stop the run. He has 12 carries for 33 yards and 2 catches for 17 yards. Not great by any means, but the touches will be there in games that are not blowouts.

2026 Dynasty Vet Values – Volume 1

Dynasty / By /

Welcome back, Dynasty Football managers! Throughout the season, it’s essential to continually evaluate rosters to determine which players to trade for or cut ties with. With that, it’s time for Volume 1 of Dynasty Vet Values for 2026. In this series, I’ll be analyzing veteran players who are excellent targets for your contending teams based on current Dynasty market value. We all know youth and longevity are essential to remain competitive in Dynasty. But the ultimate goal is to win fantasy championships, and sometimes that means acquiring that “win-now” asset who may be past his prime.

I’ll be using KeepTradeCut (KTC) to determine each player’s current market value. This is a crowdsourced Dynasty ranking site, providing us with a great idea of where the community stands. Let’s dive right in, and allow me to help you by suggesting the players that you’d be wise to acquire in Dynasty Fantasy Football right now.

* Within this article, the statistics were pulled from Sports Reference, KeepTradeCut (KTC), and Sleeper.

WR | Mike Evans | San Francisco 49ers | KTC Rank: WR52 (144th overall)

The offseason move that sent shockwaves through the NFL was long-time Buccaneer and future HOF’er Mike Evans going to San Francisco. Now 33, he looks rejuvenated and hopes to stay healthy for yet another 1,000-yard season. Last season was the first time in his career that Evans played fewer than 13 games, and the once-consistent fantasy superstar posted career lows. In eight games, Evans had only 84.80 (Full-PPR) fantasy points, finishing as the WR76 (Full-PPR). Injuries clearly hampered his production; among qualified receivers, he was 49th in YPRR (1.62), 52nd in YPC (12.3), and 45th in yards/team pass attempt (1.34). However, even though there’s injury risk at his age, I would expect Evans to improve upon this with ease and is a slam-dunk bounceback candidate. Until last year, Evans had nine straight top-20 finishes.

Even at his age, a motivated Evans is a scary player. And within Kyle Shanahan’s offense, there should be plenty of opportunities and well-schemed play designs that get Evans the ball primarily in the red zone, which I might add is where he dominates. His new QB, Brock Purdy, has an assortment of weapons to choose from, including Evans, Kittle, Samuel, Stribling and McCaffrey; all should benefit each other, and if healthy, the 49ers should be one of the league’s highest-scoring offenses. Evans is the clear alpha WR1, and with a wide receiver room that’s already thin with the loss of Ricky Pearsall for the season. Heading into 2026, Evans reminds me of this year’s Davante Adams. A star veteran receiver with a sweet landing spot, and last year we just saw Adams average 15.9 (Full-PPR) fantasy points per game, good for WR9. He’s proven to be a touchdown machine throughout his career. The landing spot in San Francisco is too appetizing to ignore for a win-now Dynasty owner. Additionally, Evans is a great value as he’s currently the WR52, which aligns with a mid 2027 second-round pick. Given the upside on a contending Dynasty team, I would have no problem making this type of deal to push your chips and go for your league’s Dynasty league title.

Dynasty Running Backs to Buy and Sell
Dynasty Tight Ends to Buy and Sell
Dynasty Wide Receivers to Buy and Sell

In today’s article, I’ll look at which quarterbacks you should target or sell in dynasty before the season, based on where your team currently stands. Let’s dive right in. 

Step 1: Figure out what your team is. (Based on 12-team leagues)

Top tier: Projected top 4 team in your league, legit contender

If you are a top-tier team, hopefully you have a top-6 quarterback (Allen, Maye, Williams, Jackson, Daniels, Burrow). If you don’t, I would be trading for one of the following guys:

Patrick Mahomes: Early-1st Round
Jalen Hurts: Early-1st Round
Dak Prescott: Mid-1st Round
Jared Goff: Late-1st Round
Matthew Stafford: Early-2nd Round

They all have top-8 potential but are valued outside the top 8 because of their age. I would move the following guys to acquire one of the names listed above: Cam Ward, Tyler Shough, Fernando Mendoza, Jordan Love.

One Question For EVERY NFL Team: NFC South Edition

Dynasty / By /

Welcome back to my “One Question” series, and thank you to everyone who read last week’s AFC South edition — are you buying Cam Ward’s redemption story? Let’s stay in the South, but make our way to the NFC. The NFC South has no shortage of playmakers — guys like Drake London, Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, Chris Olave, Travis Etienne, Emeka Egbuka, Tetairoa McMillan, and Jonathan Brooks have fantasy players in a frenzy to add them to their teams. The only real question with this division is: what will their quarterbacks do this year? Can Baker earn another payday with Tampa Bay, or will his contract situation linger into the season? Can Bryce Young take the next step, or is he who we think he is? Will either QB in Atlanta be good enough to elevate their skill players? And is Tyler Shough the real deal, or was 2025 just a flash in the pan?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers look like the team to beat in the NFC South, but was last year’s brutal Week 18 loss to division rival Carolina Panthers the beginning of the end? Tampa Bay has been active this offseason, bringing in new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson and signing running back Kenneth Gainwell. But there’s been no shortage of drama, as Baker Mayfield (QB – TB) goes into the season without a new deal and has been vocal about his displeasure. Two-time Pro Bowler Vita Vea (DT – TB) requested a trade after not getting a new deal — thankfully, that got reconciled quickly with a one-year contract. Between the new OC, the loss of Mike Evans (WR – SF), Emeka Egbuka’s (WR – TB) toe injury, and a disgruntled quarterback, a lot is riding on 2026 in Tampa. And it starts with figuring out Mayfield’s future.

My question for the Buccaneers is: Should Tampa Bay re-sign Baker Mayfield?

After a promising start in Cleveland, things went south for Baker out of nowhere. After winning their first playoff game in 26 years, he suffered an injury the following season, played through it rather than have surgery, and it likely cost him his job. Things got worse when the Browns pursued Deshaun Watson (QB – CLE) while Baker was still on the roster. Cleveland traded for Watson, dealt Baker to Carolina, and the rest is history.

Baker joined former first-round pick Sam Darnold (QB – SEA) in what looked like a fresh start. It didn’t last. He won the job over Darnold in the preseason, suffered another injury, and played through it again. The Panthers went a dismal 1-5 in games he started. He requested a release, and the Rams picked him up — and that’s when things turned around.

Baker landed with a Rams team, the defending Super Bowl champions, desperate at quarterback of their own. It only took 48 hours for him to make his presence felt. Starter John Wolford, playing through a neck injury, went three-and-out on the Rams’ first series, and the coaching staff pulled him to protect him. Baker took over and led the Rams back from a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit, capped by a 98-yard drive with no timeouts to steal the win.

Baker’s Rams stint ended at 2-3, highlighted by a Christmas Day 51-14 win. His next opportunity wasn’t far behind. In 2023, he was part of another QB battle, this time in Tampa Bay, on a one-year “prove-it” deal against Kyle Trask (QB – TB). He won the job, helped the Buccaneers win the division and a playoff game, and earned a three-year, $100 million extension the following offseason.

But as resilient as Baker is…can he win when it matters? In five playoff appearances, he’s 2-3, and his teams held fourth-quarter leads in two of those three losses. In the divisional round against Washington, a bad exchange with Jalen McMillan (WR – TB) led to a fumble and a short-field touchdown. His playoff woes go back to Oklahoma too, where he lost both of his playoff games.

But does that mean he’s not a franchise quarterback? Not so fast! Let’s look at Baker’s resume: the first walk-on player in college football history to win the Heisman, led Oklahoma to two playoff appearances, was the number one overall pick, guided Cleveland to their first playoff victory in 26 years, won a QB battle, won two playoff games, and won two division titles after taking over for Tom Brady.

My question for Tampa Bay: Should they re-sign Baker Mayfield?

My answer: If they don’t, someone else will — and he’ll make you regret it.

Dynasty Wide Receivers to Buy and Sell

Dynasty / By /

Welcome back for Part 3 of my buy and sell series. If you’ve missed either of the first two editions, you can check out my tight end article here and my running back article here. In today’s article, I’ll look at which wide receivers you should target or sell in dynasty before the season, based on where your team currently stands. Let’s dive right in. 

Step 1: Figure out what your team is. (Based on 12-team leagues)

Top tier: projected top 4 team in your league, legit contender
Middle tier: projected to finish between spots 5-8 in your league
Bottom tier: projected to finish in the bottom 4 of your league
Top Tier

If you are a top-tier team, hopefully you have at least one top-7 wide receiver (Chase, Smith-Njigba, Nacua, St.Brown, Nabers, Jefferson, and Lamb). If you don’t, I would be trading for one of the following guys:

A.J. Brown – Mid-1st Round
Jaylen Waddle – Late-1st Round
Tee Higgins – Late-1st Round
Terry McLaurin – Early-2nd Round
D.J. Moore – Early-2nd Round
Davante Adams – Mid-2nd Round
Mike Evans – Late-2nd Round

They all have top-20 scoring potential, but are valued outside the top 18 because of their age. I would move one of the following players to acquire a name from the list above: Jordyn Tyson, Makai Lemon, Marvin Harrison Jr., KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston, De’Zhaun Stribling, Omar Cooper Jr., Ja’Kobi Lane, and Jayden Higgins.

Jadan Baugh: The Next Big Thing?

College Fantasy, College Fantasy Football, Dynasty / By /

What’s roughly 230 pounds, built like a tank, and a threat to lead the nation in rushing this year? 

That would be Jadan Baugh, the bruising bell cow for the Florida Gators. 

Heading into his junior year, Baugh has been steamed up after landing on several preseason watch lists, including the Maxwell Award, Paul Hornung Award, and Doak Walker Award, which is given to the nation’s most outstanding running back. 

Baugh was also named to the Coaches Preseason All-SEC Team, and ESPN ranked him No. 19 overall in its list of the top 100 college football players for 2026.

So why all the praise for a guy who ranked just 19th in rushing yards last season? 

The FSU Explosion

The last time we saw Baugh on a football field, he delivered a historic performance against the Gators’ biggest rival: the Seminoles. In the 2025 season finale, Baugh punished defenders all game long. He toted the rock 38 times for a personal-best 266 yards and two touchdowns.

It was the second-most rushing yards in Florida history, behind only Emmitt Smith’s 316-yard performance in 1989. You may have heard of Smith, a Hall of Famer and the NFL’s all-time leading rusher. Pretty good company for Baugh. 

That dominant showing capped an impressive sophomore campaign for Baugh, who was one of the few bright spots in a lost 4-8 season for the Gators. He finished with 1,170 yards on 220 carries. He also reeled in 33 receptions for 210 yards and scored 10 total touchdowns.

Jonathan Taylor – Mid-1st Round
Christian McCaffrey – Late-1st Round
Saquon Barkley – Late-1st Round
Derrick Henry – Early-2nd Round

They all have top-10 scoring potential, but are valued outside the top 10 because of their age. If you’re a strong contender, I would move one of the following players to acquire a name from the list above: Jadarian Price, Bhayshul Tuten, Jonathon Brooks, Jonah Coleman, TreVeyon Henderson.

One Question For EVERY NFL Team: AFC South Edition

Dynasty / By /

Houston Texans

Let’s start with the Super Bowl contender Houston Texans. My question for the Texans is: Is Jayden Higgins’ replacement already on the roster?

News broke earlier this week that Jayden Higgins (WR – HOU) suffered a torn ACL in practice and will miss the entire season. With Super Bowl aspirations stronger than ever, losing the up-and-coming receiver was an unexpected hurdle. But when you look at the Texans roster, do they have the depth to make it work before making a panic move?

Star receiver Nico Collins (WR – HOU) has made a name for himself as one of the best in the NFL, with three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. After losing Stefon Diggs (WR – NE) and Tank Dell (WR – HOU) to injury over the past two seasons, Houston used premium 2025 draft capital on Higgins and Jaylin Noel (WR – HOU) to fortify the room around Collins. Xavier Hutchinson (WR – HOU) started next to Collins for most of 2025 before Higgins overtook him late in the year — proof this room has real competition, not just names on a depth chart. Noel didn’t have a big rookie season as a receiver, but he proved his worth on special teams, and Dell remains a proven veteran when healthy.

The loss of Higgins hurts for fantasy, and for the Texans, but between Hutchinson (17 games played in 2025), Noel (elite return production), and Dell (a Day Two pick with real upside when right), things could be a lot worse.

Do the Texans have Higgins’ replacement on the roster? Yes.

If I had to pick one, give me Blazin’ Jaylin Noel. He made his name on special teams in 2025, but he was also a Day Two pick who ran a 4.39 at the combine — one of the fastest receivers in his class — and profiles as a polished route runner who pairs precision with explosive speed, the kind of player who turns a short slant into six.

*At the time of this writing, Noel had returned to practice after dealing with hamstring and pinkie injuries. He was being ramped up and was in no danger of missing Week 1.*

Preseason in a Nutshell: Rapid Fire Style

Dynasty / By /

Let’s be honest: We are all busy. We can’t watch every preseason snap, coaches’ press conferences, or injury post on X. For all those who love fantasy football but aren’t complete degenerates like us, this article is for you: Concise nuggets of fantasy-relevant news in an easy-to-digest format.

Here I will wrap up the whole preseason in a neat, tidy article.

1. Kyler Murray is the Vikings’ starting QB. The KOC-era Vikings are perennially one of the top passing teams in the league. Murray is a Konami QB with the rushing upside fantasy managers want. You want him on your roster this year.

2. Jahan Dotson is in line to be the Falcons WR2. He played 100% of the snaps with the starters in their first preseason game.

3. Luther Burden was taking souls in practice. Ben Johnson stated he is destined to be one of the NFL’s best receivers.  He has the work ethic and desire to be the best.  The hype was palpable. Then he got injured. X was abuzz, waiting for an update. There were talks of tendon tears. Then we got notice it was a groin injury, and he may only miss a couple of games.

4. The Jaguars running back room looks like a gross timeshare that you don’t want a part of for fantasy. In practice, it has often been Bhaysul Tuten on 1st and 2nd downs, Lequint Allen on 3rd down. Then, when they get inside the 10, Chris Rodriguez has been seeing the bulk of the carries.

5. Staying in Jacksonville, Parker Washington has continued his momentum from last year and has been the most targeted wide receiver in camp.

6. Jayden Higgins was having a great camp. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL and is now gone for the season.

7. The Cleveland QB battle was a real battle. Todd Monken has not named who the starting QB will be between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders.  Either way, you do not want either of these starting on your Dynasty roster.

8. Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington appear to have separated themselves from the pack as the top 2 wide receivers for Miami based on pre-season usage with the starters.
