Buffalo Bills quarterbacks
Mitchell Trubisky and
Mike White are competing for the backup job to superstar
Josh Allen, and the team is "nowhere close to a decision at this point," according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Both players spent 2024 with Buffalo, but neither saw significant playing time. Trubisky (57 starts) has seen significantly more NFL action than White (seven starts). However, Trubisky struggled in his last extended run of action with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022, going 2-3 in five starts and throwing more interceptions (five) than touchdowns (four). Hopefully for Buffalo, Allen continues to be an ironman, as he's started 67 games for the Bills across the last four seasons. However, given Allen's physical style of play, there's always the possibility that the backup in Buffalo could be forced into action.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver
Tory Horton "continues to flash in practice," according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. A fifth-round draft pick out of Colorado State, Horton recorded 265 catches for 3,615 yards and 27 touchdowns across five collegiate seasons. The Seahawks have
Jaxon Smith-Njigba and
Cooper Kupp entrenched as their top two wide receivers, and veteran free-agent addition
Marquez Valdes-Scantling is penciled in as a starter on the outside. That leaves Horton fighting with the likes of
Jake Bobo,
Steven Sims, and
Dareke Young for a depth role in Seattle. While Horton is unlikely to make an impact in fantasy right away, he could be a name to monitor if he continues to impress throughout the preseason.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Calvin Ridley (calf) limped off from the team's practice on Wednesday while holding his right calf, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. Davenport speculates that it could simply be a cramp, but the severity and nature of the injury are unknown. Losing Ridley would be a major issue for the Titans' offense, which is already low on proven receiving talent. In 17 games for Tennessee in 2024, the 30-year-old recorded 64 catches for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns. Ridley is the unquestioned number one option for rookie quarterback
Cam Ward. If he were to miss time, veterans
Tyler Lockett and
Van Jefferson, as well as rookies
Elic Ayomanor and
Chimere Dike, would be in line for increased usage.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back
Jordan James has played well in training camp so far, and 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said James "hits holes hard," according to Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic. A fifth-round selection out of Oregon, James rushed for 1,267 yards and 15 touchdowns for the Ducks in 2024. He's presumably competing with 2024 fourth-rounder
Isaac Guerendo and fifth-year veteran
Patrick Taylor Jr. for the backup job to 49ers running back
Christian McCaffrey. Given the injuries that McCaffrey has dealt with throughout his career, James could find himself in the mix for carries sooner rather than later. He needs an injury to be fantasy relevant, but James could emerge as an intriguing ultra-late-round handcuff option if he continues to impress throughout the remainder of the preseason.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver
Dalen Cambre worked with the starting offense during the team's first padded practice on Monday, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. An undrafted free agent out of Louisiana, Cambre had just 10 catches for 123 yards across his five-year collegiate career but is known as an ace special-teams player. Duggan notes that Cambre's offensive work came when Giants wide receivers Jalen Hyatt (cramps) and
Wan'Dale Robinson (quad) were both sidelined due to injuries, so it's possible that he was simply the next man up. With wide receiver
Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) lost for the season due to an Achilles tear, Cambre has a path towards earning a roster spot.

Minnesota Twins shortstop
Carlos Correa (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Boston Red Sox after he was pulled early from Tuesday's tilt with lightheadedness.
Brooks Lee will take over at shortstop and will hit second versus Red Sox right-hander
Brayan Bello. With a scheduled day off on Thursday, the Twins are hoping that the 30-year-old Correa will be feeling much better and be ready to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener on the road against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians. Correa should be considered day-to-day for now, and he could be on the move this week at the trade deadline with the Houston Astros considering a reunion. Lee, who has hit .256 with 10 home runs and 43 RBI in his first full season in the big leagues, would be the beneficiary if Correa is traded by Thursday.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed on Wednesday that cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. (Achilles) will require surgery to repair his ruptured left Achilles and will miss the 2025 season, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. It's a rough blow for the fourth-year corner, who will be a free agent at season's end. Emerson Jr. had only missed one game across his first three NFL seasons, racking up 62 solo tackles, four interceptions, and 34 passes defensed. He had been projected to be Cleveland's starting nickel corner heading into 2025. Without Emerson Jr., the Browns will likely turn to veterans
Tony Brown II and Nik Needham to fill the hole in their secondary.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder
George Springer (head) remains out of Wednesday's series finale at Camden Yards against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles and right-hander
Dean Kremer. Meanwhile, outfielder
Joey Loperfido (thumb) is starting in right field and will bat leadoff on Wednesday after jamming his left thumb on a play at the plate in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. The 26-year-old sat out Game 2 as a precaution but is now back in the lineup and will be a DFS sleeper out of the leadoff spot. Springer was hit by a pitch on his ear flap in Monday's series opener in Baltimore and will miss his third straight game. The 35-year-old veteran is hoping to avoid a stint on the injured list and has been feeling better, so perhaps he'll be cleared to play for Friday's series opener against the Kansas City Royals after a scheduled off day on Thursday.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed is playing through physical coverage in training camp practices so far, according to Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports. Nowak notes that this has been a clear area of improvement for the fourth-year receiver since he entered the league in 2022. Once known exclusively as a downfield deep-ball threat, Shaheed was showing signs of becoming a more complete receiver in 2024 before tearing his meniscus in Week 6 and missing the remainder of the season. In the six games he played, Shaheed caught 20 passes for 349 yards and three touchdowns, averaging an impressive 2.25 yards-per-route-run. The Saints' question marks at quarterback hold down his fantasy value, but Shaheed is an intriguing late-round dart throw who could be on the verge of a breakout in his age-27 season.

Gary Woodland has had a decent season with six top-25 finishes and six missed cuts in 19 events this year. He currently sits 75th in the FedEx Cup standings and will require a solo 25th-place finish or better at the Wyndham Championship to qualify for the playoffs. To do that, Woodland will need to be accurate from tee to green and convert his birdie chances. He ranks 77th in total strokes gained at plus-0.270, 62nd in greens in regulation, and is in the 81st percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards -- a range that accounted for over 40% of approach shots here last year. However, Woodland has struggled with consistency, ranking just 116th in driving accuracy and 147th in birdie or better percentage. At $7,000 on DraftKings, Woodland has decent upside but will need to play aggressively to secure his spot in next week's playoffs.

Max McGreevy has had an up-and-down season, recording six top-25 finishes but missing 10 cuts through 23 events. He currently sits 99th in the FedEx Cup standings, well outside the top 70 needed to reach the playoffs. McGreevy is looking for a breakthrough at the Wyndham Championship, where he has competed twice, finishing T51 and T5. To have success here, he'll need to be accurate from tee to green and convert birdie opportunities. He ranks 89th in total strokes gained at plus-0.126 per round, 23rd in driving accuracy, and 79th in greens in regulation. He is 97th in birdie or better percentage but sits in just the 32nd percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that accounted for over 40% of approach shots here last year. At $6,800 on DraftKings, he offers value, but McGreevy will need a strong finish, specifically a tie for third place or better, to earn enough points to crack the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Boston Red Sox third baseman
Alex Bregman will sit out Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins. Bregman was in Boston's original lineup, but
Abraham Toro will instead handle third base and hit second versus right-hander
Zebby Matthews. With the Red Sox off Thursday, Bregman will now get back-to-back days to rest. The Red Sox have taken it easy with the 31-year-old since he returned July 11 from a month-plus stay on the IL with a quad injury. Bregman has gone 14-for-48 with three home runs and nine RBI in his first 13 games back to continue another productive season. He's slashing an outstanding .298/.371/.551 with 14 homers, 44 RBI, and 39 runs scored over 275 plate appearances.

New York Yankees reliever
Fernando Cruz (oblique) is scheduled to throw off a mound either Thursday or Friday as he works back from a strained left oblique. It'll be the right-hander's first time doing so since he went on the 15-day injured list a month ago. Cruz hasn't pitched since June 27, which has deprived the Yankees of one of their only reliable setup men. The 35-year-old has posted a 3.00 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP, 54 strikeouts, 14 walks, and nine holds in 33 innings. With Cruz possibly out until September, the Yankees are scouring the market for bullpen help in advance of Thursday's trade deadline.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander
Cade Povich (hip) didn't fare too well in a rehab outing with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. Making his fourth start since going on the 15-day injured list with hip inflammation on June 16, Povich struck out three and yielded five runs (four earned) on seven hits over 4 2/3 frames. The good news is that Povich threw 86 pitches (54 strikes), which suggests he's close to a return to the majors. He could rejoin Baltimore's rotation soon with
Charlie Morton,
Zach Eflin, and
Tomoyuki Sugano all potentially on the way out before Thursday's trade deadline. Povich, 25, has made 12 starts in 13 appearances for the Orioles this season and logged a 5.15 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB across 64 2/3 innings.

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder
Luke Raley (back) will go on the 10-day injured list Wednesday when the team officially calls up first baseman
Tyler Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma, manager Dan Wilson said. Raley is dealing with back stiffness and hasn't appeared in a game since last Wednesday. The 30-year-old smacked a career-high 22 home runs last season, but he hasn't been much of a factor in 2025. Raley has put up a .220/.343/.348 line with four homers, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 170 plate appearances.

Akshay Bhatia has been trending upward, recording five top-30 finishes in his last seven events. He currently sits 44th in the FedEx Cup standings, putting him comfortably inside the playoff picture as the season heads into its final week. He'll look to keep that momentum going at the Wyndham Championship, where he has competed four times but missed the cut in each appearance. Success at Sedgefield hinges on accuracy off the tee, solid approach play, and overall consistency. Bhatia ranks 40th in total strokes gained at plus-0.644 per round, 55th in driving accuracy, and 60th in greens in regulation. He also converts birdies at a high rate, ranking 12th on tour at 24.59%. Additionally, he sits in the 86th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that accounted for over 40% of approach shots here last year. Course history isn't on his side, but his recent form and strong fit for the layout give him a solid chance to turn things around.

The Cincinnati Bengals have released running back
Zack Moss. Moss began his tenure in Cincinnati during the 2024 season. He opened the campaign as the starter but eventually fell to the reserve role in favor of
Chase Brown. In addition, Moss would see his season cut short due to a neck injury following Week 8. During the early part of the 2025 offseason, Moss was able to participate in team OTAs but was placed on the non-football injury (NFI) list to open training camp. However, the veteran running back has been unable to progress and will instead look for a new club. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Brown to be deployed as the clear three-down back during the 2025 season. Brown flashed high upside as a pass-catching back in 2025 and will have a path to enjoy an RB1 season with less competition on the depth chart.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman
Eugenio Suarez (finger) is returning to the lineup on Wednesday against Detroit Tigers right-hander
Chris Paddack. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter. Suarez had an injury scare on Monday when he took a fastball off the right index finger, but X-rays came back negative, and he ended up missing just one game. This could be the final game in an Arizona uniform for Suarez, who is likely to end up on the move before Thursday's trade deadline. The 34-year-old has drawn interest from several contenders during what has been a prolific season. Fresh off his second All-Star Game appearance, Suarez has slashed .248/.321/.577 with 36 homers, a league-leading 87 RBI, and 64 runs scored in 433 plate appearances.

Cleveland Guardians left-hander
Kolby Allard will start Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies in what could be a bullpen game for the Guards. Allard has averaged just under two innings per appearance, having taken the ball 21 times and totaled 41 1/3 frames. This has been a career season for the 27-year-old, who has registered a 2.83 ERA with 23 strikeouts and just 10 walks. Allard may not stay in long against the Rockies, but this does look like a favorable matchup for him. Colorado ranks 29th in the majors in runs scored and has hit a terrible .226/.286/.371 against lefties.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman
Max Muncy (knee) went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Muncy also played six innings at third base and committed an error in the fifth inning that allowed a run to score. This was Muncy's first game back in action since July 2, and was a big first step in his return to the Dodgers lineup. In Muncy's absence,
Tommy Edman and
Miguel Rojas have been handling the hot corner, although both have the versatility to play most infield positions. Muncy started the season off slow, but caught fire in June, slashing .333/.459/.654. On the season, Muncy is slashing .250/.375/.457 with 13 home runs, 55 RBI, four stolen bases, and 39 runs scored. He remains a mid-range option at third base for fantasy managers once he returns, which should be sometime in the next week or two.

Over the past 12 months, Rai ranks in the 98th percentile in greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from 100-150 yards in the fairway.
