4 new scoring rules for 2025!

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay noted following the team's preseason win that quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was not limited during his workout on Saturday. "Looking forward to progressing him back into practice on Monday," said McVay, who also reported Stafford looked "great." The 37-year-old veteran has been dealing with an aggravated disc in his back, but is progressing after an epidural and should rejoin the team following the weekend. It's excellent news for the Rams' signal-caller, who is entering his seventeenth professional season. While it's still a situation that bears observation, LA will likely be cautious while getting him back up to speed. Despite highly-touted -- and drafted -- Rams' skill players, fantasy managers can likely find better options than Stafford late in drafts.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love got his feet wet with 12 offensive snaps in the Packers' preseason opener against the New York Jets. Love played the team's first two series, completing one pass in five attempts for seven yards, a slant to first-round rookie Matthew Golden. Love's receivers were shaky in his two series, with Romeo Doubs seeing two targets, Malik Heath seeing one, and tight end Luke Musgrave getting the downfield target. Injuries and a run-heavy approach to the Packers' offense led to a production dip from Love in 2024, but Love is a solid bounce-back candidate in 2025 to return to the QB1 ranks. For now, draft Love as a QB2 with upside residing in his team's ability to score a ton of points.

Dynasty | Jacksonville wide receiver / cornerback Travis Hunter started with the first team offense and caught two passes for nine yards in Jacksonville's preseason opener. Dynasty Analysis: Hunter played exclusively with the first team offense and didn't play defense until his day on the other side was completely done. He caught two passes on the day and while his numbers don't jump off the page, his usage clearly is a major sign on where this thing may be going and that's the way most dynasty managers wanted - a full-time wide receiver and situational defender. Hunter still has a ways to go, but he's battling Tetairoa McMillan to be the WR1 in the rookie class and it's still too close to call.

Dynasty | Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward completed 5-of-8 passes for 67 yards in his NFL preseason debut. Dynasty Analysis: There's not a ton to take from this other than the fact he's going to look to Calvin Ridley (three catches on three targets for 50 yards) early and often. Ward was only given limited action but didn't turn the ball over or get himself sacked. This was good to get out of the way and he should get some longer opportunities in the coming weeks. So far, so good.

Dynasty | Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 3-of-4 passes for 42 yards, adding 14 rushing yards and a touchdown in his Jets preseason debut. Dynasty Analysis: Many dynasty enthusiasts are calling (hoping) for a breakout season and this is only going to add some fuel to that fire. Fields was sharp on the day and showed his athleticism - something the Jets haven't had at that position for a while. Fields had an injury scare early in camp, but that's clearly behind him. At this point, the buying window for him in dynasty leagues is starting to close.

Dynasty | Titans running back Tyjae Spears was carted to the locker room after suffering a leg injury in Tennessee's preseason opener. Dynasty Analysis: This may not be as bad as it sounds as Spears limped to the sideline under his own power after suffering the injury. Still, being carted off is never a good thing. We'll wait to see just how long Spears may be out but any time off would hurt his rising dynasty value and subsequently be a boost to the short-term value of Tony Pollard. Stay tuned.

Dynasty | Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson had 20 yards on eight carries in his preseason debut. Dynasty Analysis: Johnson's box score isn't that impressive but he still looked the part tonight. At one point, he stiff-armed fellow rookie Travis Hunter and that alone is what most people are focusing on. They really shouldn't. The bigger story is Johnson didn't try to make something out of nothing on the night and looked comfortable. He remains a solid back-end first rounder in conventional rookie drafts moving forward.

Dynasty | Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey had 25 rushing yards in his NFL debut. Dynasty Analysis: Harvey played with the first team and while he didn't do anything too special, he did look like no worse than the "1B" to a resting JK Dobbins, at least early on in his career. There is still some question as to just what his workload is going to be this year but a few solid preseason performances will certainly help his chances. His ADP seems stable at the moment.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III (elbow) left early from his team's preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday due to an elbow injury, according to Clarence Hill Jr. of All City DLLS. Milton III was able to play a significant portion of the game before getting hurt, completing 17 of his 29 pass attempts for 143 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The severity of this injury is unclear, but it could throw a wrench into the Cowboys' plans at quarterback behind starter Dak Prescott. Dallas acquired Milton III from the New England Patriots in April, and he's expected to serve as the team's QB2. If Milton III were to miss time, Will Grier would be next in line on the Cowboys' depth chart at quarterback.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden has "some of the most natural hands" that he's ever been around and that Golden has been "outstanding" in training camp, according to Zach Jacobson of 247Sports. The Packers used a first-round pick on Golden in the 2025 draft. He's part of a deep wide receiver room in Green Bay that includes established contributors like Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs, but lacks a true superstar WR1. Reed (foot) was also seen wearing a walking boot during the team's preseason game on Saturday, although he's considered to be day-to-day with a sprained foot. Based on how LaFleur is speaking about Golden, it appears the 22-year-old could be in line for a large role in the Green Bay offense early in his rookie season.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he's "hopeful" that wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) will be ready for Week 1, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The third-year wideout was seen in a walking boot during the team's preseason game on Saturday and is known to be dealing with a sprained foot. In 17 games last season for Green Bay, Reed caught 55 passes for 857 yards and six touchdowns. He's expected to play a key role in the Packers' offense alongside fellow wide receivers Romeo Doubs and rookie Matthew Golden. If Reed were to miss time, it could open more opportunities for Dontayvion Wicks and Savion Williams to earn playing time in Green Bay.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (undisclosed) missed the team's practice on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury. However, head coach John Harbaugh said it's not a major ailment for the third-year back, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Mitchell shined in Baltimore's first preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday, rushing for 68 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. He missed most of the 2024 season while recovering from a torn ACL, earning just 15 total carries in five games played. Mitchell enters 2025 competing with veteran Justice Hill and fifth-round rookie Rasheen Ali for backup work behind Derrick Henry in the Ravens' backfield.

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey earned the majority of the early down work in the team's first preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Veteran J.K. Dobbins mixed in with Harvey, but mostly served as the third-down back. Harvey and Dobbins are expected to share the majority of the backfield workload in Denver this season. However, their usage against San Francisco could be a window into how Broncos head coach Sean Payton envisions deploying his running backs when the games start to count. Harvey profiles as a borderline RB2/RB3 in fantasy with clear upside if he can play well enough to dominate playing time in the Denver backfield.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) will not suit up for Saturday's preseason contest against the New York Jets. Reed has been banged up early in training camp, so the Packers decided to be cautious and rest Reed on Saturday. It's worth noting that Reed was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot during Saturday's game. The 25-year-old has been dealing with a foot and toe injury, so the walking boot isn't a shocker. At the moment, fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about Reed's status heading into Week 1. There is still plenty of time for Reed to get ready to play. At the moment, Reed's foot injury is being viewed as a minor issue, but fantasy managers should keep checking back for updates.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (leg) was carted off the field during Saturday's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Oh no, this is not something you want to see during the preseason. Spears appears to have suffered a lower right leg injury during the first half of this game. There should be more information on his status after more testing is done. Spears was expected to be the primary backup behind Tony Pollard this upcoming season. A lengthy absence could free up more chances for Kalel Mullings or Julius Chestnut. It's highly unlikely that Spears is going to return to this contest considering it's the preseason. Fantasy managers will need to stay tuned for more updates on his status.

The Baltimore Ravens are signing free-agent running back Myles Gaskin on Saturday. Gaskin worked out with the team this weekend and apparently impressed enough to earn himself a deal with the organization. The 28-year-old figures to be a depth option during training camp. He'll compete with Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and Rasheen Ali for a backup spot behind Derrick Henry. Gaskin has bounced around the league quite a bit over the last few years. He hasn't played much since the 2021 season with the Miami Dolphins. Possibly, Gaskin will catch on as a depth option, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy value.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (undisclosed) didn't travel with the team for their preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. Head coach Brian Daboll said Hyatt is currently dealing with an undisclosed injury. The severity of the injury is unknown, so hopefully fantasy managers will get more information soon. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to see if Hyatt returns to practice early next week. The 23-year-old is currently competing for a depth spot behind Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Darius Slayton.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore (leg) was carted off the field during the second quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the Houston Texans. Afterwards, head coach Kevin O'Connell said Moore is dealing with a pretty significant left knee injury. The plan is for Moore to undergo an MRI on Sunday, so more information should be known then. Moore missed all of last season due to a non-contact knee injury he suffered last August. It would be truly heartbreaking if Moore suffered another season-ending injury. Fantasy managers should know more information once the results come back. He's currently competing for a depth spot on the roster as well as a job as the punt returner.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (groin) was forced to make an early exit during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Tennessee Titans. This is not a sight you ever want to see early in the preseason. White was unable to get through the first quarter before suffering a groin injury. It's the preseason, so the Bucs will hold out White for the rest of this contest. For now, fantasy managers should consider White as day-to-day. There should be more information on his status following this game. Before exiting, White rushed the ball six times for 28 yards and didn't see any action through the air.

Dynasty | Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy completed 4-of-7 passes for 30 yards in Minnesota's preseason opener. Dynasty Analysis: He added eight rushing yards. McCarthy looked the part and while you can't really gain too much out of a series or two in a preseason game, he certainly seemed to be in total control of the offense. Sam Darnold's season from last year is likely the ceiling for McCarthy but his ADP is on the rise after losing his rookie season to a torn meniscus and now looking fully healthy and ready to go.
