Garrett Wilson Sidelined with Stomach Bug Ahead of Pivotal Season
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (illness) missed Monday's practice due to a stomach bug, head coach Aaron Glenn told Brian Costello of the New York Post. Out of all the reasons to miss a practice during training camp, an illness raises very little concern. Once Wilson is healthy again, he should return to the field with no limitations. Having Wilson healthy and ready to produce will be key for the Jets, who are looking to bounce back after a dismal 2025 season on both sides of the ball. The 26-year-old receiver is incredibly talented, but injuries and poor quarterback play have resulted in him finishing outside the top 20 fantasy receivers for three of the last four years. The quarterback play isn't necessarily getting any better with Geno Smith, but at least he offers a somewhat steady veteran presence with experience throwing to receivers like DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Jakobi Meyers. Wilson currently ranks as the WR18 in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings for the 2026 fantasy football season.

Ian Machado Garry Suffers Unanimous-Decision Loss
Ian Machado Garry suffered a unanimous decision loss to Islam Makhachev in the main event of UFC 330 on Saturday. Machado Garry just didn't have any answers for Makhachev and was too passive throughout the fight. He didn't receive much damage, as Makhachev was mostly looking to control Machado Garry. In 25 minutes of action, Machado Garry landed 29 significant strikes. With the loss, Machado Garry drops to 17-2 as a pro and is now 10-2 in the UFC.

Emeka Egbuka is Day-to-Day with a Sprained Toe
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (toe) is day-to-day after spraining his toe during practice, head coach Todd Bowles told PewterReport. Egbuka suffered the injury last week, missed the Bucs' preseason opener against the Jets, and remained absent from practice on Monday. It's never good to see a player have their preseason delayed by injury, but the fact that Egbuka is day-to-day suggests that he remains on track to play in Week 1 of the regular season. Tampa Bay will need him to be healthy for this season; they're relying on him even more now that Mike Evans has departed for San Francisco. The second-year receiver projects to handle a starting role alongside Chris Godwin Sr. The Bucs would surely like to see him replicate the first five weeks of his rookie season, during which he scored five touchdowns and ranked as the overall WR2 in PPR leagues. More consistency at quarterback could help him return to his top-12 receiver form in fantasy football. For now, though, he's the overall WR19 in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings for 2026.

Makhachev also won for the 17th straight time, breaking a tie with the legendary Anderson Silva for the longest consecutive win streak in UFC's history. The fight was uneventful but Makhachev largely dominated the contest en route to a unanimous decision win. In 25 minutes of action, Makhachev landed seven takedowns and 22 significant strikes. With the win, Makhachev improved to 29-1 as a pro.

Breece Hall Diagnosed with Groin Strain, Will Undergo Further Evaluation
New York Jets running back Breece Hall (groin) has been diagnosed with a groin strain and will undergo further evaluation, head coach Aaron Glenn told Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Glenn noted that he doesn't believe the injury is serious. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. When Hall initially left practice, the initial reports were that Hall was in pain after suffering a non-contact injury. Those types of reports always cause a level of panic, but it sounds like Hall avoided a major injury and will have a decent chance to play in Week 1. He's looking to build off a mediocre season by his standards; last year, he tallied 1,065 rushing yards, 350 receiving yards, and just five total touchdowns. There's no denying the 25-year-old is incredibly talented, but he needs the Jets' offense to play better if he's going to be an RB1 in fantasy football. Last year, New York had too many stalled drives, leading to fewer carries for Hall and a very limited number of goal-line opportunities. The short-term future isn't necessarily brighter under quarterback Geno Smith, but a new season nevertheless brings a change of scenery and a fresh start. We're still encouraged that Hall could be a low-end RB1 in fantasy football this year.

Christopher Vizzina Expected to Start in Week 1 Against LSU
Clemson senior Christopher Vizzina and true freshman Tait Reynolds have been competing for the starting quarterback job this offseason, but Pete Nakos of On3 said "it would come as a surprise" if Vizzina was not the team's starter to open the season against LSU. Vizzina reportedly led the offense to a couple of scoring drives during the team scrimmage, and his long career as a backup in the program should give him a leg up. That said, Reynolds has flashed early on in his first fall camp and could push for playing time at some point in the season. Vizzina has appeared in 14 career games, completing 64 of his 105 passing attempts for 596 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Reynolds arrives at Clemson as a Rivals three-star recruit out of Queen Creek, Arizona.

Mackenzie Dern Dominates Gillian Robertson To Win Title Fight
Women's strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern successfully defended her title by defeating Gillian Robertson via unanimous decision in the co-main event of UFC 330 on Saturday.

Aaron Philo Takes Most First-Team Reps in Florida's Scrimmage
Florida quarterback Aaron Philo ran with the first-team offense for most of the team's fall scrimmage, according to On3's Pete Nakos' sources. The former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket already has experience in offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner's system, and he reportedly has the edge in the quarterback competition. That said, sources told On3 that Tramell Jones had a better scrimmage performance, suggesting the race is not over. Neither signal-caller has a ton of game experience, as Philo has 102 career passing attempts to Jones' 35 career attempts. The Gators have a stacked wide receiver room, headlined by Eric Singleton Jr., Vernell Brown III, and Dallas Wilson, but its quarterback spot remains a significant question mark heading into the first season of the Jon Sumrall era in Gainesville.

Cam Vaughn Dismissed from Miami Program
Miami wide receiver Cam Vaughn has been dismissed from the program, according to head coach Mario Cristobal. The junior pass-catcher joined the Canes after one season with Jacksonville State and one year with West Virginia. He caught 83 passes for 1,344 yards and nine touchdowns over the last two campaigns. A reason has not been given for his dismissal. Although this isn't ideal, Miami has no shortage of wide receiver talent. Last year's top freshman, Malachi Toney, is back, and the Canes brought in Cooper Barkate, who was a 1,000-yard receiver at Duke, catching passes from Darian Mensah last season. Vandrevius Jacobs, who caught 32 passes for 548 yards and four touchdowns in 2025 at Florida State, is Miami's projected WR3.

Will the Buccaneers Lighten Bucky Irving's Workload?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving exploded as the overall RB13 during his rookie season in 2024, but as a result of injuries and workload management, he played in just 10 games last year and fell to RB34 in PPR leagues. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker consistently ate into Irving's workload last year, and while White has since departed for Washington, Tucker remains in the backfield and has been joined by Kenneth Gainwell. It's fair to wonder if the Buccaneers are going to use Gainwell similarly to how the Steelers did last year and adopt a true split backfield. In Pittsburgh, Gainwell handled 114 carries and 73 receptions (187 touches) while Jaylen Warren had 211 carries and 40 catches (254 touches). When all was said and done, the two backs combined for 441 touches, but Warren only had 67 more than Gainwell. Presumably, the Bucs will use Gainwell on a variety of downs -- not just third down -- in an attempt to keep Irving fresh for a full season after he missed seven games last year. With that being said, the addition of Gainwell to the backfield isn't necessarily bad news for Irving's fantasy stock. While we may not see him push for 20-25 touches as often, he'll theoretically stay fresh for a bigger portion of the season, perhaps allowing him to stay available for all 17 games. We're still confident in Irving's ability to serve as a mid-range RB2 for fantasy football managers this season.

Fernandes's three-fight winning streak has been snapped with this loss. He is now 3-2 in the UFC.

Brandon Aubrey Remains the Undisputed Top Kicker in Fantasy Football
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has ranked among the top three fantasy scorers at his position in each of the last three years, and we don't expect that to change in 2026. Aubrey has one of the league's most powerful and accurate legs, he kicks in a closed-air stadium, and he plays for a Cowboys team with a high-scoring offense. The 31-year-old routinely finds himself in high-value scenarios for fantasy football, and his accuracy numbers speak for themselves. Last year, he went 36-for-42 on field goals, including 11 makes from 50+ yards, and he also went 47-for-48 on extra points. As it stands, he ranks as the overall K1 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football draft rankings. With that being said, managers in most leagues should hold off on taking a kicker until the last round or two of the draft.

Breece Hall Exits Practice Early with Potential Groin Injury
New York Jets running back Breece Hall pulled up and fell down after catching a screen pass in Monday's training camp practice, and he has left the field with what NFL reporter Ryan Dunleavy speculates to be a groin injury. Hall tore his ACL as a rookie in 2022 but has played in at least 16 games in each of the past three seasons, even while managing minor lower-body ailments. With the Jets' first game of the 2026 regular season less than a month away, Hall's status will now need to be monitored, as any prolonged absence could threaten his Week 1 availability. The Jets have been praised throughout camp as an offense on the rise, and Hall, who is RotoBaller's RB18, is projected to handle a significant workload. If healthy, he could prove to be one of the more valuable backs found outside the opening rounds of 2026 drafts.

Herbert Jones Eyes Shooting Bounce-Back
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones enters 2026-27 as the team's biggest X factor, according to ESPN's season preview. The 2023-24 All-Defensive First Team selection has slipped offensively since that breakout, including 38.3 percent shooting from the field and 30.9 percent from three last season. He still averaged 8.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.6 steals in 28.4 minutes, keeping him useful when defensive stats matter. ESPN noted that a bounce-back year could make Jones a trade-deadline chip for draft compensation. That outcome would be worth tracking, as a move could open extra wing minutes for Saddiq Bey while pushing more creation toward Trey Murphy III.
