  Jets | Smith: 'We had opportunities to close out the game' in OT loss to Packers    Sun Sep 20, 06:58 PM

Jets.com reports that QB Geno Smith and the Jets blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in a 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday, September 20, as Green Bay's Trey Smack hit a 26-yard field goal to win it. Smith completed 27-of-41 passes for 247 yards and a 5-yard touchdown to WR Garrett Wilson, but was sacked four times and hit ten times. RB Breece Hall caught five passes including a 43-yard gain, while the Jets' run game was held to just 67 yards on 27 carries as Green Bay stacked the box. "We had the game right in our hands, and we didn't finish," Smith said. "There's tons of room for improvement, but the time is now, so we got to get it done." HC Aaron Glenn said, "I trust Geno... I think Geno was doing a solid job." The Jets, now 1-1, next travel to face the Lions in Detroit.

Footballguys view: Adonai Mitchell played a big role in the passing game in the silver lining for this offense in fantasy circles, but Breece Hall was vultured in the red zone by Braelon Allen, although his passing game contributions helped him from being a bust. The Packers offense recovered from their collapse against Carson Wentz in Week 1 and will get the Falcons on Thursday. Geno Smith and the Jets offense will get a favorable matchup against the reeling Lions defense next week.

  Eagles | Barkley 'alright' after stinger, awaiting MRI to determine extent    Sun Sep 20, 05:46 PM

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was forced out of Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans with a stinger but returned briefly in the second half. Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk reports that Barkley told reporters he feels alright but will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury, saying "We'll know more later in the week.

Footballguys view: Barkley finished the day with four carries for nine yards and one catch for 11 yards. Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley saw increased playing time after his injury. We'll be watching for more on Barkley in coming days.

  Packers | Snap counts show Lloyd not getting clear RB1 role as expected    Sun Sep 20, 05:12 PM

Yahoo Sports reports that Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd is not getting the clear RB1 looks that were expected of him coming into the season.

Footballguys view: Lloyd scored on a short touchdown reception, but also fumbled in the overtime win over the Jets. Kaleb Johnson was getting more work in Week 2, but he also fumbled. Chris Brooks was the trusted back down the stretch. In other words, there's no Packers back you can trust on Thursday night against the Falcons.

  Bears | Caleb Williams carted off with hamstring injury in loss to Vikings    Sun Sep 20, 04:08 PM

Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk reports that Bears QB Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings. Williams pulled up while running and did not put weight on his right leg as trainers helped him off the field before he was taken to the locker room on a cart, though he gave the crowd a thumbs up. At the time of his exit, Williams was 15-of-26 for 138 yards with an interception and had rushed for 42 yards on five carries; backup QB Tyson Bagent replaced him and nearly led a comeback before being sacked on fourth-and-2 to end the game.

Footballguys view: Judging by the reports of Williams in the locker room after the game, it doesn't sound like this is going to be a serious injury, but it will probably sideline him for multiple weeks. "We'll know tomorrow," Johnson said. "He's in good spirits. He's a team player... I'm actually happy it's nothing with the knee -- that was my first inclination. But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we'll see. We'll see how bad it is tomorrow and we'll go from there." Bagent can be a functional quarterback, but the upside for the Bears offense is greatly reduced without Williams mobility and playmaking threat. The Bears have a tough matchup against the Eagles next week, so the Bears passing game could be a Week 3 avoid.

  Texans | Montgomery held to 10 yards on 6 carries in loss to Bengals    Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM

Houston Texans RB David Montgomery ran 6 times for 10 yards and also caught 2 passes for 14 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 15.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.4.

Footballguys view: Dexter Lawrence is anchoring a much more stout Bengals run defense than we have seen in recent years and Montgomery was stopped at the one on fourth down, so this was a dud. Montgomery should be worth an RB2 start next week, but Woody Marks was more involved in Week 2 because the Texans were trailing for most of the game.

  Eagles | Barkley held to 9 yards on 4 carries in win over Titans    Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ran 4 times for 9 yards and also caught 1 pass for 11 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 14.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.5.

Footballguys view: Barkley was a dud in a great matchup because he missed most of the first half with a shoulder stinger. Tank Bigsby wasn't that impressive in his stead, but Barkley had little effect on the game after he returned. The Bears run defense is generous, so we'll start Barkley in fantasy leagues next week, but this was not the start to the season we were looking for when Barkley went in the second round of drafts.

  Vikings | Jones runs for 105 yards in win over Bears    Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones ran 23 times for 105 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 12.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 10.5.

Footballguys view: The Vikings chose to ride Jones and used Deejay Dallas and Demond Claiborne sparingly in the poor weather at Soldier Field. The Bears' run defense is going to be a good matchup to pick on going forward, but this is also a good argument to start Jones next week as an RB2/Flex at Tampa. Jones did miss some time in this game with a knee issue. Don't be surprised if there are practice limitations.

  Patriots | Stevenson held to 43 yards on 6 carries in win over Steelers    Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 6 times for 43 yards, also caught 1 pass for 3 yards on 2 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected for 12.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.1.

Footballguys view: Last year Stevenson's fumbles against Pittsburgh were seen as a potential opening for a changing of the guard to TreVeyon Henderson. Stevenson fumbled again vs. Pittsburgh this year, and Henderson did take over most of the carries after that. Henderson wasn't that much more effective than Stevenson on most of his carries, but he broke a 39-yard touchdown and that could keep him in an expanded role over Stevenson next week at Jacksonville.

  49ers | RB Kaelon Black questionable for Week 2    Sat Sep 19, 02:15 AM

49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) is listed as questionable on the Week 2 injury report. Black was limited in Saturday's practice.

Footballguys view: Black was added to the injury report on Thursday with this groin issue. A limited practice on Saturday makes him questionable for the game against the Dolphins on Sunday. If Black plays, the matchup is a nice one for Fantasy GMs willing to use the 49ers' backup running back as a flex play in Week 2.

  Saints | Chris Olave questionable for Sunday    Fri Sep 18, 05:52 PM

Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk reports that Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and will carry a questionable designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Footballguys view: Luckily for fantasy managers, the Saints play at 1 pm ET on Sunday, so there will be no shortage of pivot options if Olave can't go. Olave came out of last week's game unscathed, but was added to Thursday's injury report with a hamstring. He maintained his limited participation on Friday. If Olave is active, he's a must-start coming off last week's 182-yard showing. If he's inactive, DeVaughn Vele moves into the WR2 tier, while Bryce Lance becomes a desperation flex.

  Cardinals | LaFleur: Love-Allgeier will 'rotate' all season, role won't 'expand'    Fri Sep 18, 05:49 PM

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur discussed the running back rotation between RB Jeremiyah Love and RB Tyler Allgeier, per Cardinals.com. LaFleur said Love's role 'is going to be what it was' and that the two backs 'are going to rotate,' citing the long season ahead.

Footballguys view: "I have no idea how many carries he's going to get. I have roughly an idea of how many plays he's going to get, but you never know," LaFleur said. In Week 1 against the Chargers, Love had 13 touches (11 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown) on 32 snaps, while Allgeier had 19 touches (17 carries for 61 yards) on 44 snaps. Sounds like we can expect more of the same this week and beyond.

  Bears | Swift, Monangai practice fully, no injury designations for Week 2    Fri Sep 18, 05:49 PM

Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk reports that Bears RB D'Andre Swift and RB Kyle Monangai are both good to go for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Footballguys view: Both running backs were limited early in the week, but they should be allotted their normal workloads in Week 2 against the Vikings. After Carolina's soft, deep coverage last week, Chicago will face a much more aggressive, blitz-heavy defense in Week 2. The Bears' run game looked lethal to start the season, but it'll be tougher sledding in Week 2. Swift can be started as a high-end RB2, and Monangai's outlook is a touchdown-dependent RB3.

  Saints | Kamara, Jordan clear injury report ahead of Ravens matchup    Fri Sep 18, 05:49 PM

Tina Howell of SBNation.com reports that New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara and DE Cam Jordan are off Friday's final injury report and expected to play Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

Footballguys view: After missing the season opener, Alvin Kamara will play in Week 2 against the Ravens. Per Kellen Moore, "Alvin is going to play a really valuable role this week." Last week, Travis Etienne Jr. and Kendre Miller split carries, while Etienne dominated the receiving work. Kamara is one of the most prolific pass-catching running backs in NFL history, signaling a potentially murky backfield going forward. This week, Etienne projects as a high-end RB3. Kamara, who could be limited in his return, is an RB5. And Miller projects to be involved just enough to make the other two frustrating for fantasy. We'll hope for more clarity on this backfield after Week 2, because it doesn't look great right now.

  Patriots | Henderson (ankle) off injury report, expected to play Week 2 vs. Steelers    Fri Sep 18, 05:44 PM

Patriots.com reports that RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is off the injury report and is expected to play in New England's Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday.

Footballguys view: After practicing in full all week, TreVeyon Henderson will make his 2026 debut in Week 2 in a home matchup against the Steelers. Henderson took a backseat to Rhamondre Stevenson late in his rookie season, but it's still unclear how he'll be used in Year 2. Managers with running back depth who can afford a wait-and-see approach with Henderson should, but desperate managers can plug him in and hope he hits a home run in what's expected to be a limited role. We have Henderson ranked as a high-end RB4 this week, meaning he's more likely to be on your bench than in your lineup.

  Packers | Josh Jacobs expected to play at some point    Tue Sep 1, 09:45 AM

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs, who was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt list, is expected to play at some point in 2026, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.

Footballguys view: Asked if there's a scenario in which the Packers release Jacobs, Gutekunst said, "I think we'll let the process play out before we make any kind of those decisions." The NFL has yet to issue a suspension for Jacobs, who can't practice or play while on the exempt list. Jacobs has an initial hearing on Nov. 17. It's hard to envision him playing before then. MarShawn Lloyd will handle the bulk of the workload in Jacobs' absence.

  Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love 50-50 for opener    Tue Sep 1, 09:25 AM

Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is 50-50 to play in Week 1, according to sources.

Footballguys view: As noted in a previous item, head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters that Love, who returned to practice on Monday, is making good progress in his recovery. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, in addition to suggesting Love is 50/50 for next week's opener against the Chargers, acknowledged that we're unlikely to get clarity until next week. The team's first injury report for its matchup against the Chargers will be released on Sept. 9.

  Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love making progress    Tue Sep 1, 12:10 AM

Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is making good progress in his recovery and will take a step in his recovery Monday, Aug. 31, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.

Footballguys view: Asked specifically if Love would be ready for Week 1, LaFleur would only say the rookie is "progressing." Love is dealing with what's reportedly a high-ankle sprain, suffered in their preseason win over the Raiders. He's been out of practices and doing individual work the last two weeks. But it's worth noting he traveled to Green Bay with the rest of the team last week. Fantasy managers should expect him to be questionable for the opener against the Chargers, but the first injury report of the season won't come out until Sept. 9.

But ESPN.com's Brady Henderson believes the team will include a heavy dose of Holani, whose receiving and pass-blocking skills seem perfectly suited for third-down work. With a RB64 ADP and 17th-round price, Holani is essentially a free square play.

  Cardinals | James Conner designated to return    Mon Aug 31, 12:52 AM

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (foot) was placed on the reserve/injured list Sunday, Aug. 30, with a designation to return. He will be forced to miss a minimum of four games.

Footballguys view: Conner missed the final 14 games last season with a severe ankle injury. He did not start training camp on PUP, but over more than a month of practices, he did not do more than participate in individual position drills. He cannot practice for at least two weeks. After that, he can have a 21-day practice window opened to prepare for activation. The earliest he can come back is in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. With rookie Jeremiyah Love's Week 1 status uncertain due to an ankle injury, Tyler Allgeier could be relied upon heavily early in the season.

  Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet to miss start of season    Mon Aug 31, 12:24 AM

All indications are that his rehab has gone well, but he was hurt in the divisional round of the playoffs in January and didn't have surgery until late in February. He won't be eligible to play until the Seahawks host the 49ers in Week 5, but a change to the PUP rules this year means he can begin practicing as early as Week 3. Jadarian Price and George Holani will be the team's top two backs until Charbonnet is ready to contribute.

Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali are the three running backs on Baltimore's active roster. The move also leaves the Ravens with an open active-roster position that could be used on a waiver claim or veteran addition.
