If you play fantasy football - you need to read this

Hey!

NFL training camps are finishing up and the preseason has ended - so yeah a lot has happened.

Here are 20 quick fantasy football updates to help you stay ahead:

Joe Mixon will miss at least 4 games. But he could miss a lot more. Nick Chubb should start the season as the RB1 but expect Dameon Pierce & Woody Marks to be involved…

De’Von Achane is expected to play Week 1. Meanwhile, backup Jaylen Wright is expected to miss Week 1. This makes Ollie Gordon a must add across all leagues…

Broncos insider Benjamin Allbright says JK Dobbins is the starter. He said Dobbins has shown successful pass protection compared to rookie RJ Harvey. This is important to know – but it doesn’t mean Harvey won’t be on the field on early downs…

Jayden Reed still has pain in his foot while running. It’s been reported he suffered a Jones fracture which is typically a 6-8 week recovery. Reed is hopeful to play Week 1…

Khalil Shakir returned to practice for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain. He’s trending to play Week 1…

Rashee Rice is suspended the first 6 games of the season. This makes Xavier Worthy a must start to open the year. And Marquise Brown now becomes a priority add...

Jakobi Meyers requests a trade. The team doesn’t plan to deal Meyers as they have no incentive to do so. Expect Meyers to play on his current deal or get some added cash/incentives before Week 1…

Tyjae Spears will miss 4 games with a high-ankle sprain. This makes Tony Pollard a target now in fantasy drafts. Last season without Spears, Pollard averaged 110 yards…

Najee Harris was activated from the NFI list. He returned to practice and it’s 'possible' he plays Week 1. Najee would likely operate as RB2 behind rookie Omarion Hampton…

Jauan Jennings is still working through a calf issue. He could be placed on IR if his calf/contract situation aren’t resolved soon. Ricky Pearsall continues to be a strong target in fantasy drafts…

Amari Cooper signs with the Raiders. He'll compete with Tre Tucker for a starting role. Cooper is 31 and reports from the Owners Meetings suggest he doesn’t have much left in the tank…

Adam Thielen was traded to the Vikings. Expect him to be involved until Jordan Addison returns from suspension in Week 4. But this is bigger news for WR Jalen Coker, who now secures a starting role with the Panthers…

Kyle Shanahan says Brian Robinson is the 49ers RB2. Isaac Guerendo banged up his already injured shoulder on special teams in the final preseason game. Robinson should be viewed as the handcuff to McCaffrey now in fantasy…

Jaydon Blue suffered low ankle sprain, but it’s not thought to be serious. He expects to be ready Week 1 against the Eagles. Blue was having a strong camp and looks to push Javonte Williams for first team touches this season…

Tim Patrick was traded from the Lions to the Jaguars. This opens a starting role for rookie WR Isaac TeSlaa. TeSlaa had a strong preseason – but he still looks like the 5th option in this passing attack…

Spencer Rattler was named the Saints Week 1 starter. Rattler ranked 35th in QB accuracy and 39th in QB efficiency last season…

Marquez Valdes-Scantling was cut by the Seahawks. This opens the door for rookie Tory Horton. He’s been getting 1st team reps throughout training camp. Horton dominated press coverage in college while totaling 1100 yards in 2023 before injury…

Marshawn Lloyd hits IR and will miss at least 4 games. He’s now missed 20 of 21 games to start his NFL career. Expect Chris Brooks and Emanuel Wilson to split work behind Josh Jacobs…

Kendre Miller appears to be the Saints RB2. If you’re handcuffing Alvin Kamara, Miller is the back to target…
