Link to story Texans | Woody Marks scores Thursday Fri Aug 21, 04:45 PM
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks rushed four times for 37 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for six yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Marks was excellent and looked like a back deserving of more work than a typical #2 back and the Texans run game pushed the Raiders around. That's good for Marks, Montgomery, and De'Von Achane and Malik Willis, who face the Raiders along with their Dolphin teammates in Week 1. Montgomery was rested as an entrenched starter would be, so don't worry about this performance lowering his value. |
Giants | Najee Harris will contribute Fri Aug 21, 10:42 AM
New York Giants RB Najee Harris was brought in under the premise that he's going to be a significant contributor, even though a source told ESPN he signed a one-year minimum salary $1.215 million deal with no guaranteed money. The Giants' signing of Harris wasn't in direct response to RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s preseason gaffe. The team had been in contact with Harris' representative for months, and the workout was scheduled last week, sources told ESPN.
| Footballguys view: Tyrone Tracy was listed as the first team back along with Cam Skattebo on the first depth chart, so the Giants weren't sold on Skattebo being a true lead back yet early in the preseason. It's not a stretch to see Harris as the #2 back behind Skattebo, and taking more work from him than Tracy would have. Harris is on the borderline of draftable in typical leagues, and Skattebo is a shakier fourth round pick. |

49ers | Eight carries for Kaelon Black Fri Aug 21, 01:32 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black ran the ball eight times for 33 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Black also had some excellent pass blocking reps in a great sign for his chances to be the #2 back behind Christian McCaffrey to open the season. His main competition, Jordan James, is still out with a rib injury. McCaffrey has been missing practice with "soreness" that some have speculated is contract driven. We don't see a reason to move McCaffrey down yet (but we felt that way two years ago) but we do see a reason to move Black onto our list of late round targets. |
49ers | Sincere McCormick has productive night Fri Aug 21, 01:23 AM

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. impresses again Fri Aug 21, 12:36 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. carried the ball nine times for a game-high 56 yards against the Houston Texans on Thursday, Aug. 20. Washington also caught a pair of passes for 18 yards.
| Footballguys view: Washington is moving up fantasy draft boards with each passing week and big run in the preseason. Ashton Jeanty is still worth a pick at ADP near the 1-2 turn of drafts on the hopes that the Raiders running game becomes functional under Klint Kubiak, but Washington has exceeded expectations already, showing patience, vision, and footwork to get his rare size/speed combination into play at the second and third levels. He is one of the most valuable backups to take in redraft leagues and his dynasty value is definitely into the first round of remaining rookie drafts. |

Cowboys | Jaydon Blue on field Thursday Thu Aug 20, 06:02 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (shoulder) participated in practice Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Blue played in the preseason game against Seattle, but he missed the scrimmage against the Saints on Tuesday. He's back out there trying to win the backup job behind Javonte Williams. We'll see if he can win the job over guys like Phil Mafah and Malik Davis. |
Browns | Minor injury for Quinshon Judkins Thu Aug 20, 05:08 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) is dealing with a nagging injury, but head coach Todd Monken said the team is not worried about the injury.
| Footballguys view: An undisclosed injury for a player like Judkins is something to keep track of. We'll know more hopefully in the near future as Judkins is set to be one of the key players on the Browns' offense. We'll see if Judkins (RB19) can pay off as an RB2 for Fantasy GMs this year. |

Commanders | Rachaad White suffers hamstring injury Thu Aug 20, 11:37 AM
Washington Commanders RB Rachaad White (hamstring) reportedly suffered a hamstring injury during the Commanders' joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: White will likely miss this Saturday's preseason game with the Detroit Lions, but the injury is not considered a long-term issues. Reports indicate Jacory Croskey-Merritt is flashing enough as a pass catcher this offseason to position himself for the largest role in the backfield. The group is a bit of a cluster-you-know-what, but Croskey-Merritt is the highest-drafted of the group (RB40). The Commanders' backfield is battling a few injuries right now with White (hamstring), Jeremy McNichols (quad), and Jerome Ford (hamstring) all banged up. |

49ers | Kaelon Black returns Wed Aug 19, 06:33 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 18, taking part in a joint session with the Los Angeles Chargers.
| Footballguys view: This gives Black an edge over Jordan James because James is still sidelined with a rib injury. Christian McCaffrey has been missing practice with soreness, which could include his feeling about his contract after seeing Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson's new deals. Black was impressive early in camp and should be back on your late round target list. |

Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) participated in practice Wednesday, Aug. 19, after being sidelined for a few days.
| Footballguys view: This injury issue is behind him, but Pollard was in what appeared to be a committee backfield with Tyjae Spears in the preseason opener, which is not what fantasy football rankings assume right now. If you are going to dabble in the Titans backfield, Spears is available for free late in drafts and is the better pick at cost as long as he can stay healthy. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara out a month Wed Aug 19, 10:02 AM
Updating previous reports, New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament, and he's expected to be out at least a month.
| Footballguys view: Travis Etienne's fantasy stock took a hit when Kamara and the Saints agreed on terms for him to stay with the team this season, but this opens a door for the free agent addition to assert himself as the lead back while Kamara mends. If you were on Etienne because of Kamara's age and recent injury history, then you should feel vindicated by this development. Etienne could climb back into the third round on this news. |

Giants | Najee Harris to be eased in Wed Aug 19, 12:54 AM
New York Giants RB Najee Harris will likely need 'a couple weeks' to get into football shape, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Harris took part in individual drills only on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Harris looked pretty good in his first practice, so Harbaugh's words don't seem as prohibitive when considering Harris's potential value this season. Cam Skattebo was listed as an -OR- with Tyrone Tracy as first string backs on the depth chart, so the new regime has not anointed Skattebo the lead back yet. Harris isn't a must draft with a late round pick, but we wouldn't talk you out of using a pick on him either. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price returns to full participation in practice Tue Aug 18, 04:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (upper leg soreness) has reportedly returned to practice on Monday and will still be ramped up for 'unlimited work', according to HC Mike Macdonald on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Price had missed the previous five full practices. The 32nd pick in this year's NFL draft from Notre Dame looked as smooth and decisive on his cuts and running with the ball as he did in the first weeks of his first pro training camp, before the injury. Then, Price was coming into the starting offense in scrimmages after third-year veteran George Holani. That was reversed Monday. It was another indication that Price will be the lead back as Seattle drafted him to be on Sept. 9, when the Seahawks host the New England Patriots. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey could have practiced Tue Aug 18, 03:13 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (muscle tightness) would have practiced on Tuesday, Aug. 18, if they were not joint sessions, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: There has been speculation that McCaffrey's injury is actually a hold-in, but Shanahan cleared the air on the situation. Shanahan said that speculation about McCaffrey not practicing for contract-related reasons "would be wrong." NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the same on Monday night. McCaffrey's recent past -- in particular his injury-marred 2024 season -- makes it hard to take these issues at face value. But with multiple reports suggesting the star running back's absence is for exactly the reason stated, we remain optimistic. Also, we'll be watching closely for reasons not to be. |

Jaguars | LeQuint Allen to miss rest of camp Tue Aug 18, 03:01 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen will miss the rest of training camp after suffering a soft-tissue injury in practice.
| Footballguys view: Even though he's listed behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr., Allen is the best blocker of the bunch and an outstanding pass-catcher. These traits made him a candidate to have an increased role on offense this season. Allen has time to recover for the season opener. If he's back at full strength by then, as expected, he'll be in a position to be a role player in this offense. Not having him would take away one dimension from the passing game, but it might also lead to more work for Tuten. We'll be watching for more. |
Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love will not need surgery Tue Aug 18, 01:55 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will not need surgery on his injured ankle, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: As the Arizona Republic noted, some took LaFleur's answer to mean that surgery had been under consideration for Love, elevating concerns. To be clear, there has been no indication that was the case. LaFleur was responding to a reporter's question, double-checking that Love would not need surgery. When surgery is not required, a typical recovery timeline for this injury is between two and six weeks. The Cardinals kick off their season on Sept. 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers -- one month to the day after Love suffered his injury. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai 'week-to-week' Tue Aug 18, 01:45 PM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) is considered 'week-to-week' from his injury, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: What remains up in the air is Monangai's status for Week 1. In the short term, Monangai's absence will open the door for more first-team reps for Roschon Johnson and Salvon Ahmed. If Monangai ends up missing time into the regular season, D'Andre Swift, who averaged 16 touches per game last season, could see his touches rise to north of 20 per game. As far as who spells Swift in that scenario is concerned, the most likely option will be Johnson, who worked ahead of Ahmed in preseason Week 1. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs back at practice Tue Aug 18, 10:48 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will return to practice Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs had been sidelined by a groin injury, and the expectation was he would return to work this week. Last season, Jacobs rushed for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games. he also caught 36 passes for 282 yards with a TD. Jacobs is being drafted as RB17 at the end of Round 3. It's a fair price if the veteran back is working at full speed in advance of Week 1. |

Broncos | Jonah Coleman continues to shine Tue Aug 18, 12:54 AM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman has been 'work[ing] his way up the depth chart' and could have a role in the regular season, according to ESPN's Jeff Legwold, who adds that Coleman continues to get reps with the first- and second-team offenses.
| Footballguys view: Coleman played 12 snaps Friday night in Atlanta and had four carries for 24 yards, with his last carry coming with 47 seconds left in the first quarter. HC Sean Payton said he's seen enough from Coleman on the practice field to get the rookie out of the preseason opener that early. "I didn't need additional evidence of what I've been seeing for three weeks," Payton said. We'll be watching for more signs that Coleman is a viable candidate for a contributing role. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai to miss a few weeks Tue Aug 18, 12:25 AM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks because of a hyperextended knee, according to a source.

He also caught 18 passes for 164 yards. In the postseason, he added 21 carries for 63 yards and five catches for 58 yards. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Jets | Injury update for Breece Hall Mon Aug 17, 11:24 PM
Updating an earlier report, New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) got confirmation that the groin injury he suffered in practice on Monday, Aug. 17, was minor, per SNY.tv's Connor Hughes, who adds that the team will be cautious with Hall. It's believed he will be ready to go in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: Coach Aaron Glenn downplayed Hall's injury during his news conference, calling it a strain and not a big deal. Hall did undergo an MRI after leaving practice early on Monday. He played in New York's first preseason game against Tampa Bay, totaling four carries for 16 yards. In 2025, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns last season and added 36 catches for 350 yards with one touchdown. He's currently being drafted as RB14 in Round 3. |
