De'Von Achane Injury Update
Achane (calf) returned to practice on Monday. He is currently on track to play in Week 1 against the Colts, but we should get more information on his status when the Dolphins publish their official injury report on Wednesday. As long as he suits up, Achane is a strong RB1 option in fantasy football.
Dolphins RB De’Von Achane, who has been dealing with a calf injury, is returning to practice today and is on track to play Sunday vs. the Colts.

Kenneth Walker III Injury Update
Walker (foot) logged a full practice on Monday. He's on track to play in Week 1 against the 49ers, barring a setback. The talented ball-carrier remains atop Seattle's depth chart, but it's possible that he could lose some touches to Zach Charbonnet. Walker should be treated as a mid-range RB2 in fantasy football for now.
#Seahawks' first game week begins with signs Kenneth Walker, Tory Horton and Jake Bobo will be full go Sunday vs the 49ers at Lumen Field.
Plus: A shell game at guard if there's an injury at the thin spot on the new O-line.

Najee Harris Injury Update
Harris (eye) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. The former Steeler suffered an injury scare during a summer fireworks mishap, but he's now healthy just in time for the Chargers' first official injury report of the season. Barring a setback, he'll suit up against the Chiefs on Friday. He ranks as a fantasy RB3 while Omarion Hampton still gets acclimated to the offense.

Jaydon Blue Injury Update
Blue (ankle) has not appeared on the injury report this week. As a result, he's on track to play in Thursday's season opener against the Eagles. For now, Javonte Williams will likely lead Dallas' backfield while Blue occupies a change-of-pace role. He can be left on the bench in most fantasy leagues this week.
No changes on the Cowboys injury report today but a few for the Eagles. Again Brian Schottenheimer said it’s trending in the right direction for Trevon Diggs and Tyler Guyton. Official game statuses will be announced Wednesday. pic.twitter.com/ZVYUltLF8H

Rachaad White Injury Update
White (groin) returned to practice last week and is expected to be ready in time for the Buccaneers' season opener against the Falcons on Sunday. The pass-catching running back is still second on the depth chart behind Bucky Irving, but he does have some standalone fantasy value of his own. He's a fringe top-36 fantasy running back heading into the first week of the regular season.

Miles Sanders Injury Update
Sanders (shoulder) has not appeared on the injury report this week. This indicates that he should be able to suit up against the Eagles on Thursday. However, he'll likely occupy the No. 3 running back role behind both Williams and Blue. As a result, he can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.
