Atlanta Falcons placekicker Younghoe Koo converted two of his three field goal attempts in Friday's 31-13 preseason loss to the Cowboys, making from 28 and 38 yards awaywhilemissing from 51 yardsout. The 31-year-old also converted his lone extra point attempt. After Lenny Krieg handled kicking duties in the team's first preseason game, Koo has taken over in the last twoand appears to be in line to be named the Falcons' starter for Week 1 of the 2025 season. The eighth-year pro had a down year in 2024, but also battled through a hip injury that ultimately cut his season short. Now fully healthy, fantasy managers should have confidence in him, however, there are higher upside options available in 12-team leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden hauled in a 39-yard strike on two targets from starting quarterback Malik Willis in the Packers' 20-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field. Golden, the Packers' first-round pick this past April, had to adjust and come back to the ball a little bit, but made a nice adjustment downfield to secure the longest reception of the day for both teams. The Packers' intent on selecting Golden in the first round signals a big role for the talented rookie out of Texas, and fantasy managers agree. Golden has been a mid-round upside staple in an offense that looks to generate more offense through the air this season than last season's iteration. Could Golden be the next fantasy find like last season's Ladd McConkey and Brian Thomas Jr.? Golden certainly has that level of upside as a WR3 in fantasy drafts.

Dallas Cowboys superstar edge rusher Micah Parsons (back) recently underwent an MRI on his back, and the results "came back pretty clean," head coach Brian Schottenheimer said. Parsons hasn't been practicing with the Cowboys amid a public spat over his contract and a trade request, though he has also cited back tightness as a reason for sitting out. After getting good results from the MRI, it doesn't appear Parsons' back will prevent him from playing Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4. The bigger question will continue to be whether the 26-year-old will find common ground in contract negotiations with the Jerry Jones-led Cowboys. If not, the Cowboys could open the season without the face of their defense and someone who has already amassed 52.5 sacks in his first four years in the NFL.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo (head) suffered a concussion in Saturday's preseason finale against the Green Bay Packers, but he's in "good spirits," head coach Mike Macdonald said. Bobo had to leave the Seahawks' 20-7 loss early after he collided with teammate Tyler Hall on a punt return. He finished the game with one catch for 12 yards and wrapped up his preseason with five receptions for 51 yards and a pair of touchdowns. While the 27-year-old combined for just 32 catches for 303 yards and three scores in his first two seasons, he has been a valuable contributor on special teams.

Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White (leg) suffered a "lower-leg injury" in practice on Thursday, general manager Brandon Beane said Saturday. Beane isn't sure when the Bills will get White back, which adds another question mark in their secondary. White starred with the Bills from 2017-23, but multiple serious injuries - a torn ACL in 2021 and a torn Achilles in 2023 - have slowed him down in recent years. After he divided last season between the Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens, White returned to Buffalo on a one-year, $6.8 million contract in April. The 30-year-old had been slated to compete this summer with rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston (knee) for a starting job opposite No. 1 corner Christian Benford, but Hairston went down with a knee injury early in camp. With Hairston unlikely to be ready for the start of the season, a healthy White would have been in line to start Week 1 against his previous team, the Ravens. White's status is now up in the air, though, and it may leave the Bills with no choice but to go outside the organization for help at corner before they kick off their season Sept. 7.

Free-agent quarterback Carson Wentz will work out for the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports. Since going second overall to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2016 draft, Wentz has combined for 98 appearances (94 starts), completed 62.7% of passes, and thrown 153 touchdowns against 67 interceptions for five different teams. The former star, 32, has settled into a backup role over the past couple of years and spent 2024 behind Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. The Vikings have a clear-cut starter in J.J. McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024 who will debut this year, with Sam Howell, Brett Rypien, and Max Brosmer in reserve. Howell and Rypien each bring experience to the table, but Brosmer - an undrafted rookie from the University of Minnesota - was easily the most impressive of the three in the preseason. If the Vikings keep Brosmer and sign Wentz, the latter could bump one of the other veteran QBs off the roster.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (undisclosed) was spotted on the field heading into Saturday's preseason meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He wasn't using crutches, although he had a compression sleeve on his left leg. The 22-year-old suffered an apparent injury at practice on Thursday. While there haven't been any updates regarding Wright's health, it appears he at least avoided a serious injury. With De'Von Achane (calf) dealing with an injury of his own, Wright could find himself starting in Week 1 versus the Colts. However, there's still a few weeks to go, so it's too early to speculate. With that said, if Achane or Wright aren't available, Ollie Gordon II may jump to the top of the depth chart.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Desmond Ridder finished with 75 yards and an interception off 8-for-20 passing in Saturday's loss to the Colts. He added two carries for 10 yards and a touchdown. The signal-caller hasn't done much of relevance throughout the preseason. However, he may have done enough to at least earn a spot on the roster for the Bengals Week 1 AFC North clash with the Cleveland Browns. Still, with Joe Burrow and Jake Browning in the equation, Ridder won't be useful for fantasy purposes.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (thumb) says he'll be ready to go for the Week 1 opener versus the Detroit Lions on September 7. The signal-caller recently underwent surgery on his non-throwing thumb. He returned to practice on Monday, albeit in a limited capacity. Fortunately, it's been good news for Love since his return from the minor surgery. He took a step back in 2024, tossing for 3,389 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions off 268-for-425 passing (63.1%). Love also found the end zone once on the ground. The 26-year-old has plenty of weapons at his disposal on the offensive side of the ball. However, Love will need to stay healthy. The Packers also have one of the more challenging schedules in the National Football League, which is another thing going against him. With that said, fantasy managers should wait for the official update from the team regarding his availability for Week 1.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (illness) won't play in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Buffalo Bills. The signal-caller appeared in one game this preseason, throwing for 85 yards and two touchdowns off 6-for-11 passing in the meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bridgewater's absence should mean more work for Kyle Trask and rookie Connor Bazelak. However, as long as Baker Mayfield is healthy and on the field, the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart will remain mostly irrelevant for fantasy purposes.

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. (concussion) left Saturday's 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams to be evaluated for a concussion. Strong carried five times for 25 yards before exiting and has shown well throughout the preseason while competing for a roster spot. The 26-year-old back is battling with rookie Dylan Sampson for depth behind Jerome Ford, while the team's decision on unsigned rookie Quinshon Judkins could also impact Strong's future. His status will be worth monitoring as cut day approaches, but any missed time would hurt his chances of securing a role in Cleveland.

Quarterback Ben DiNucci announced on X on Saturday that he was released by the Atlanta Falcons. The 28-year-old was best known for his time with the Dallas Cowboys, where he threw for 219 yards in three games. Since then, he has had several unsuccesful stints with other clubs around the National Football League. The Falcons have Michael Penix Jr. as their starting quarterback. Veteran Kirk Cousins is listed behind him on the depth chart, at least for now. As a result, the team cut ties with DiNucci, who stated a "career update" would be coming. It's unknown if he plans to remain in the NFL, assuming there's a team willing to sign him. However, his fantasy value can't get any lower. That's not expected to change anytime soon.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo (undisclosed) left Saturday's preseason game after colliding with teammate Tyler Hall on a punt return. Bobo jogged to the locker room under his own power but did not return. The 6'4", 207-pound receiver sits behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tory Horton, and Cooper Kupp on the depth chart but has carved out a steady role on special teams, appearing in every game since 2023. After posting 13 receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown last season, Bobo was aiming to expand his role on offense in 2025. His injury status remains worth monitoring.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton delivered a strong performance in Saturday's 28-19 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints, hauling in four receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown. Sutton has consistently been drafted in the fifth to sixth round range of fantasy leagues and remains the clear WR1 in Denver's offense. With second-year quarterback Bo Nix showing steady development, Sutton is positioned to thrive as the focal point of the passing game. Playing in the high-scoring AFC West, Sutton profiles as a reliable mid-round option with upside as a weekly fantasy starter in 2025.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton (knee) exited Saturday's loss to the Colts. He did not return. The wideout injured his knee during the Bengals' preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles and didn't play in the Monday Night Football clash with the Washington Commanders. Burton managed to suit up for the preseason finale, although he caught only one of his four targets for 16 yards before his premature departure. Head coach Zac Taylor couldn't provide an update while speaking after the game, so fantasy managers should consider him as day-to-day. However, Burton's fantasy outlook doesn't look promising even if he gets a positive update about his knee, especially since he's expected to be at least the No. 4 receiver on the depth chart behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas. If anything, he'll get most of his work on special teams.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton (knee) exited Saturday's preseason finale against the Indianapolis Colts after aggravating a lingering knee issue. Burton caught one pass for 16 yards on four targets before leaving in the second quarter. Head coach Zac Taylor did not offer a timeline for Burton's return, leaving his Week 1 status in doubt. The second-year player sits behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas on the depth chart, but was expected to contribute as a rotational receiver and return man. For now, Burton is a speculative stash only in deeper fantasy formats.

According to Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, quarterback Lamar Jackson (foot) will practice on Monday. However, Harbaugh added (with a smile on his face) that it could change if the signal-caller "doesn't want to." He was injured during Wednesday's practice after his foot was stepped on. Fortunately, X-rays came back negative, so he should be good to go moving ahead. Jackson is coming off a strong 2024 campaign, throwing a career-high 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns. He also tossed only four interceptions and added four more scores on the ground while finishing just 85 yards shy of the 1,000-yard rushing mark. Baltimore has a tougher schedule compared to most of the teams around the National Football League, meaning Jackson may not be as productive. Still, he's a top-tier fantasy quarterback and should have a place in the MVP conversation all season, assuming he stays healthy.

Denver Broncos quarterback Sam Ehlinger handled the final three quarters of Saturday's 28-19 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints, completing 22 of 31 passes for 181 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Ehlinger capped his outing by connecting with Kyrese Rowan on a five-yard score, but also absorbed three sacks along the way. While he showcased poise and flashes of playmaking ability, inconsistency remains a concern. With Bo Nix firmly entrenched as the starter, Ehlinger is competing to lock down the backup role. Cut day is approaching, and his roster spot remains on the bubble.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix looked strong in Saturday's 28-19 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints. The second-year passer led three drives, finishing 10-of-14 for 110 yards and a touchdown strike to Courtland Sutton. After guiding Denver to a playoff berth as a rookie, Nix enters 2025 with heightened expectations. The front office added key offensive weapons in RJ Harvey, J.K. Dobbins, and Evan Engram to aid his development. While some growing pains are expected, Nix's poise and efficiency give fantasy managers reason for optimism as he looks to take another step forward this season.

Dynasty | Cowboys quarterback Joe Mixon completed 10-of-18 passes for 132 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions Dynasty Analysis: Milton struggled mightily last week, so this was a good step forward for him. While he hasn't looked anything like a player who could keep Dallas afloat should Dak Prescott be injured, he at least looked capable this week. Milton will continue to develop and has a spot on dynasty benches in a Superflex league.
