Marvin Mims Jr. Does Work on Side Field
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (undisclosed) stretched and participated in drills today before doing work on the side field, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Broncos. We don't know any more specifics about Mims' injury, but it kept him out of the preseason opener and has impacted his ability to practice. At this point, it's too early to tell whether he'll be available for Week 1 of the regular season. Mims projects as the Broncos' primary returner on special teams this year, but he faces a difficult path to production on offense in his role behind Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant. He ranks as the WR107 in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings and should go undrafted in most fantasy leagues this year.

Jonah Coleman Continues to Trend Up, Drawing Rave Reviews
Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman has continued to receive praise from head coach Sean Payton, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Payton said that there was a point where he realized he had seen enough from Coleman during practice to know that he's going to be an impact player in the NFL. "I didn't need to see additional evidence of what I've been seeing for three weeks," Payton said. That's a pretty glowing review for the rookie ball-carrier. Even though he's third on the depth chart behind JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey, it sounds like he should have a significant role this year, perhaps as early as Week 1. He's a glaring trade target in dynasty leagues before his price adjusts, and he might even be worth selecting in the later rounds of redraft leagues. RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings have Coleman as the RB29 in dynasty leagues and the RB52 in redraft leagues.

Max Fried Heading to Injured List With Elbow Bone Bruise
The New York Yankees announced on Monday that they placed left-hander Max Fried (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 14) with a left-elbow bone bruise. It is a concerning development for Yankees fans, although the good news is that left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) is returning from his IL stint on Tuesday to start against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles. It will be Fried's second stint on the IL this year with a left-elbow injury, and it is unclear if he will have a chance to return later this month when he is eligible. The 32-year-old three-time All-Star won a league-high 19 games in 2025 in his first year in the Bronx while also striking out a career-high 189 batters in 32 starts. He has gone 4-4 in 2026 with a 2.81 ERA (2.56 FIP) and 0.99 WHIP with 79 strikeouts and 27 walks in 86 1/3 innings across his 15 starts. Although Fried might not be back in the Yankees' rotation until September, he deserves to be stashed everywhere.

Diamondbacks Place Ketel Marte on Restricted List
The Arizona Diamondbacks announced on Monday that they placed second baseman Ketel Marte on the restricted list and recalled infielder Jose Fernandez from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. It is unclear why Marte is going on the restricted list or how long he will be away. Ildemaro Vargas is starting at the keystone for the Snakes and is batting leadoff for Monday's series opener at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox and left-hander Alec Gamboa, and he will most likely see most of the playing time at second base for however long Marte is out. We should have an update on Marte's status before the end of Monday night, so fantasy managers will want to check back on his situation. The 32-year-old Dominican switch-hitter is a must-start in all traditional fantasy leagues when he is active. He comes into Monday's slate of games hitting .249 (117-for-469) on the year with 21 home runs, 67 RBI, 65 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 118 games and 519 plate appearances. Marte hit only .218 (22-for-101) in July, though, and has gone 9-for-43 (.209) with two home runs, two doubles, five RBI, and seven runs scored in 13 games in August.

Hunter Goodman Scratched Again With Shoulder Inflammation
The Colorado Rockies have scratched All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman (shoulder) from the starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Denver against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers due to inflammation in his left shoulder, according to Rockies reporter Kelsey Wingert-Linch. Goodman will miss a fourth straight game with a shoulder injury after also being scratched from the starting nine on Saturday. Brett Sullivan is now doing the catching for right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano and will bat eighth against Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell. If Goodman suffered a setback with his shoulder, there is a good chance he could be headed for an injured-list stint. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Tuesday to see if his condition has improved. Losing the 26-year-old right-handed slugger for an extended stretch would be a big blow for fantasy managers, as Goodman leads all MLB catchers with a career-high 34 home runs while driving in 69 runs, scoring 69 runs, and stealing five bases in his 414 at-bats in 2026.

Scottie Scheffler Coming Off Second Win of the Season
It really is amazing what Scottie Scheffler is capable of when he makes putts the way he should from inside 10 feet. This past week in Memphis was actually the best statistical putting performance of his career, gaining nearly nine strokes with the flat stick through the four days. The lack of stress this victory had after a 61 in Friday's second round should keep him sharp enough for his upcoming start at Bellerive. Scheffler wasn't in the field for the 2018 PGA Championship, but he undoubtedly does just about anything as well, if not better, than anyone else in the field. If the putting carries over from TPC Southwind, there is little reason to doubt he won't find his way into the conversation again this week.

Jacob Wilson Scratched on Monday With Shoulder Soreness
Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (shoulder) has been scratched from Monday's starting lineup against the hosting Kansas City Royals with soreness in his left shoulder, per the team. Alika Williams will take over at the 6 for the A's and at eighth against Royals right-hander Michael Wacha. Wilson missed a game over the weekend due to swelling in his left pinkie finger, and now he is out with a shoulder ailment, continuing what has been a disappointing and injury-plagued 2026 season for the former first-rounder. It is unclear how serious his shoulder injury is or if it will require a stint on the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now and check back on Tuesday to see if he is back on the field. Wilson is barely rostered in just over half of Yahoo leagues now and comes into Monday's action hitting .266/.298/.388 with a .685 OPS, only seven home runs, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored, and four stolen bases across his 320 at-bats. In 22 games since the All-Star break, Wilson has hit a weak .207 (18-for-87) with a .587 OPS, two homers, six doubles, nine RBI, nine runs, two stolen bases, one walk, and 10 strikeouts.

Jameson Williams Dealing With Minor Shoulder Injury
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (shoulder) is dealing with a minor shoulder injury in training camp, according to Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com. Head coach Dan Campbell said it is nothing serious. Expect the Lions to play it safe with Williams, who is a big part of their passing game. The 25-year-old former 12th overall pick in 2022 from Ohio State had his second straight 1,000-yard season in 2025 and the second year in a row with seven touchdown receptions. Williams had a career-high 1,117 yards on a career-high 65 receptions (102 targets) in 17 games played. It is unclear if the Lions will feel safe running Williams out there with the starters for this Saturday's preseason tilt against the Washington Commanders, but his shoulder injury shouldn't impact his availability for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. A healthy tight end Sam LaPorta and a bigger role for second-year wideout Isaac TeSlaa are looming obstacles to Williams potentially coming up short of expectations in 2026. Target him as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex with boom/bust big-play abilities at the receiver position.

Jadarian Price a Full-Go for Majority of Monday's Reps
Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price (lower body) was back at training camp practice on Monday and took most of the reps, according to Seahawks reporter Brian Nemhauser. It was a non-contact session for the Seahawks on Monday, but it is still progress for the 22-year-old, who should be fully ready for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September. After being rested in the preseason opener on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys, Price could be cleared to get some work this Sunday in the second preseason contest against the Tennessee Titans. Zach Charbonnet (knee) is not going to be ready for the start of the regular season, which puts Price in position to be a key contributor in Seattle's backfield right away. George Holani will also have a role, but Price's explosiveness and big-play ability should make him the more attractive short- and long-term fantasy option at the RB position. It might be tough for Price to carve out a big pass-catching role, but with enough early down work, he should be a nice low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex target in upcoming fantasy drafts.

Jordyn Tyson Expected to Miss Two Months With Hamstring Injury
New Orleans Saints rookie first-round wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), who has been a standout performer during training camp, is expected to be out roughly two months with a hamstring injury, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. Tyson, who has been consulting with experts, could start his first NFL season on the short-term Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least the first four games. The 22-year-old eighth overall pick back in April from Arizona State was in line to open his NFL career as the WR2 in New Orleans across from Chris Olave, but that will now have to wait. Tyson also missed time in college with issues with the same hamstring, so fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues who have him rostered have to be a little worried about his long-term durability already. He will still be worth rostering in redraft leagues in 2026, but he will now be more of a late-round stash target. Receiver Devaughn Vele and tight end Juwan Johnson might end up being the biggest beneficiaries early on, as well as rookie Barion Brown, who has been a standout this summer.

Kyle Monangai to Miss Multiple Weeks With Hyperextended Knee
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (knee) suffered a hyperextended knee during training camp practice on Sunday and is expected to miss multiple weeks, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. However, the MRI outcome is considered positive, and the 24-year-old's knee is structurally sound. Monangai will most likely miss the team's final two preseason games as he tries to rehab and get ready to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday, Sept. 13, against the Carolina Panthers. With Monangai sidelined for the next couple of weeks, Roschon Johnson, Salvon Ahmed, and Brittain Brown will get more opportunities to play behind starter D'Andre Swift in Chicago's backfield. After being selected in the seventh round from Rutgers in 2025, Monangai had 169 rushing attempts for 783 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games in his first NFL season, adding 18 receptions for 164 yards as a pass-catcher. He is still the handcuff option to Swift, but his lack of pass-catching upside makes him a better RB3/flex target in standard-scoring fantasy leagues in 2026.

Running Back Tikey Hayes Dismissed from Nebraska Program
Nebraska has dismissed running back Tikey Hayes from the program, according to Sean Callahan of Husker Online. Hayes joined the program as a late-arriving transfer after spending last season at Penn State and the spring at Iowa Western Community College. Callahan reports that Hayes was competing for a role in the Husker backfield and worked with the starters in Saturday's team scrimmage. Mekhi Nelson, Isaiah Mozee, and Jamal Rule remain the contenders to help replace the production of Emmett Johnson, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs after rushing for 1,451 yards in 2025. Hayes rushed just three times for 18 yards last season with the Nittany Lions, and his future is now unclear.

Breece Hall's Groin Injury Considered Minor
The follow-up on New York Jets running back Breece Hall's groin injury on Monday confirmed that it is a minor injury, a source told Connor Hughes of SNY. The Jets will continue to be cautious with their starting RB, but he will be out for weeks, not months. Head coach Aaron Glenn announced on Monday that Hall suffered a groin strain during training camp practice on a non-contact play. The 25-year-old will most likely sit out the team's final two preseason games before having a chance to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season in early September. Isaiah Davis (knee) has also been nursing an injury, so New York's backfield is pretty banged up right now, which will give Braelon Allen a big opportunity to make noise and secure a bigger role to begin the season. When fully healthy, Hall will continue to be the Jets' RB1 in a new offense led by veteran QB Geno Smith and offensive coordinator Frank Reich. Hall could still be ready and 100% for Week 1, but his groin injury will have fantasy managers thinking twice about whether to pull the trigger on him as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 in the early rounds of upcoming drafts.

Malik Nabers Not at Full Speed Yet
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) "looked good" in his return to team drills in training camp practice but also said that he does not think "he's at full speed yet," according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. We were not expecting Nabers to be full speed in his first 11-on-11 drills in camp, but he continues to make good progress after tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee in Week 4 of last year. The 24-year-old former first-rounder (sixth overall) from LSU is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, barring a setback as he ramps up his work this summer. Do not be surprised if Nabers does not see any preseason action at all, with the Giants' primary goal being to have him available when the regular season kicks off. There is still plenty of risk with a WR coming off a major knee injury, but Nabers' progress of late has been encouraging and makes him more worth the risk as a low-end WR1 early in fantasy drafts.

Michael Forret Stumbling Lately on the Mound at Triple-A
Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Michael Forret is coming off a tough starting outing in what has been a difficult transition to Triple-A Norfolk in the Orioles' minor-league system. Forret was traded from the Tampa Bay Rays organization to the Orioles in the Tyler Wells deal. In his last outing with Norfolk, Forret allowed eight earned runs and 10 hits in five innings pitched. His only other start for Norfolk was better, with just two runs allowed in 4 2/3 innings pitched. At Triple-A Durham before he was traded, Forret went 1-2 with a 4.89 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. He is now the No. 10 prospect for the Orioles and has three 55-grade pitches in his fastball, slider, and changeup. Unless his results improve quickly with Norfolk, it is likely that he doesn't make his debut until the 2027 season. Baltimore will need to see more before calling him up, making him more of a dynasty-league player.
