TreVeyon Henderson Dealing With Leg/Ankle Injury
Updating a previous report, New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle, leg) left the team's training camp practice on Monday early with a right-leg/ankle injury, according to Mike Kadlick of Sports Illustrated. It is unclear right now if it is a serious injury for Henderson, but we'll keep close tabs on his progress for the rest of the week and leading up to the team's Week 1 regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks in early September. If Henderson is good to go for the start of the season, he is expected to be involved in a 50-50 timeshare with Rhamondre Stevenson in New England's backfield in Year 2. The 23-year-old former second-rounder from Ohio State impressed as a rookie, running for 911 yards and nine touchdowns on 180 carries while adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another TD through the air. Henderson has not really improved his pass-blocking skills, though, and a timeshare with Stevenson will leave his fantasy upside capped as an RB3/flex target in upcoming drafts. If Henderson's injury keeps him out of Week 1, Lan Larison and rookie Jam Miller will be competing for RB2 duties behind Stevenson over the next couple of weeks.

Max Anderson Continues Solid Triple-A Season
Detroit Tigers infield prospect Max Anderson continues to hit for Triple-A Toledo this season, where the talented infielder has compiled a .305 average in 87 games with 13 homers and 49 RBI to go with 51 runs scored. Anderson is hitting .310 in August with two homers and 10 RBI as he tries to prove he is ready for a late-season promotion to Detroit. The 24-year-old is the No. 11 prospect for Detroit and has a 50-grade hit tool with 50-grade power. He has produced nicely at Toledo, but the question is how he will adjust to big-league pitching when given the opportunity. He is worth monitoring, and with the Tigers falling out of contention, he could be given a chance for some late-season at-bats at the big-league level. Keep an eye on how the Tigers use Anderson down the stretch.

Puka Nacua Still Not Back at Practice
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) remained out of practice Monday, according to Sarah Barshop. Nacua was working off to the side with a trainer but has yet to rejoin team drills since leaving the Aug. 11 joint practice with Dallas because of psoas soreness. Sean McVay initially expected him back the following week, but Nacua ended up sitting out both joint practices with New Orleans as well. The Rams later pushed that expectation into this week, so Monday's absence is worth noting even with Nacua doing route work on the side. He is coming off a massive 2025 season, leading the NFL with 129 receptions while piling up 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games. There is still time before Week 1, but Nacua has now been away from team practice for nearly two weeks.

Quinshon Judkins Returns to Practice
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, according to Daniel Oyefusi. Judkins missed the final two practices of last week and sat out Saturday's preseason game against Buffalo while dealing with what head coach Todd Monken called "a little something nagging." Monken said it was nothing significant and also made clear that the issue was unrelated to the extra contact Judkins took during Cleveland's Aug. 18 practice. His return Monday backs up that assessment, although his exact participation level wasn't immediately clear. Judkins led the Browns with 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 230 carries as a rookie, adding 26 catches for 171 yards. With the regular season still a few weeks away, getting him back on the field after a brief absence is a positive development for Cleveland's backfield.

James Tibbs III Still Hitting, Looking For Late-Season Promotion
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has continued his strong minor-league season with a stellar August, hitting .375 with six homers and 19 RBI to go with 16 runs scored. At Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, Tibbs has hit 27 homers with 97 RBI and 95 runs scored while hitting .302. The 23-year-old is the No. 7 prospect for the Dodgers and has a 50-grade hit tool with 55-grade power, which he has shown off in the minor leagues this season. The Dodgers have a very deep major league roster, but with the recent news of Andy Pages hitting the injured list, it could offer an opening for Tibbs in the team's stacked outfield. The Dodgers could use the power bat of Tibbs, and he could be a nice addition to fantasy teams if he does get a call-up to Los Angeles.

Roman Dolidze Gets Finished In The First Round
Roman Dolidze suffered a first-round TKO loss to Reinier de Ridder on the main card of UFC Sacramento on Saturday. Dolidze almost immediately shot for a takedown but was unsuccessful as De Ridder managed to get top control. After a dozen and dozen of unanswered shots on the ground, the referee stepped in to stop the fight. In 4:01 of action, Dolidze landed only a single significant strike. The loss marked the third defeat for Dolidze, and the performance has received heavy criticism from the MMA community.

Sean Keys Doing his Best to Get Another Opportunity in the Big Leagues
Toronto Blue Jays corner-infield prospect Sean Keys did little when he debuted in Toronto earlier this season, but has hit nicely between two levels of the minors in 2026. Between Double-A New Hampshire and Triple-A Buffalo, Keys has 27 homers with 75 RBI while hitting a combined .293 with 72 runs scored. Keys got the call for 12 games with the Blue Jays and hit one homer with five RBI and a .167 batting average. Keys was just 6-for-36 in his debut stint and was sent back down to Buffalo. He's coming off a recent two-homer game for Buffalo and has six homers and 20 RBI in the month of August at Triple-A. So he is doing everything he can to prove himself ready for another shot with Toronto. The Blue Jays could use the power of Keys at the major league level, so fantasy managers will want to pay attention for news of another call-up.

Kenyon Sadiq Running Routes During Rehab Work
New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq took another step forward Monday while working his way back from a setback following offseason hernia surgery. Zack Rosenblatt reported that Sadiq was running routes on a side field with trainers throwing to him and appeared to be moving well. The rookie practiced three times at the beginning of training camp before the Jets shut him down again in early August, and he has yet to return to team drills. Week 1 has been the Jets' stated expectation for Sadiq, so getting him through more football-specific work is encouraging with the opener getting closer. The 16th overall pick caught 51 passes for 560 yards and eight touchdowns during his final season at Oregon. Sadiq has missed most of his first NFL training camp, which could make it tougher to carve out a big role immediately. For now, though, his rehab appears to be moving forward.

Reinier De Ridder Bounces Back
Reinier de Ridder snapped his two-fight skid by finishing Roman Dolidze via first-round TKO on the main card of UFC Sacramento on Saturday. After a failed takedown attempt by Dolidze, de Ridder established top control and started with ground and pound. De Ridder landed a dozen unanswered punches, forcing the referee to stop the fight. In 4:01 of action, De Ridder landed 71 significant strikes. With the win, De Ridder improved to 5-2 in the UFC.

River Ryan Worth A Look As He Works His Way Back From Injury
Detroit Tigers pitching prospect River Ryan (hamstring) is currently rehabbing with the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens and hasn't pitched in a game since coming over to the Tigers from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Tarik Skubal trade at the deadline. Ryan hasn't pitched in a game since June 17 with Triple-A Oklahoma City. This season, Ryan is 3-1 with a 4.46 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in eight starts with Oklahoma City. He has 43 strikeouts in 36 1/3 innings pitched. The Tigers could look to Ryan to pitch in Detroit when he does come back healthy from his strained hamstring. Ryan is the No. 4 prospect in the Tigers system and boasts a 65-grade fastball with a 60-grade slider. At age 28, Ryan has pitched in the majors previously with the Dodgers in 2024, but hasn't returned since. Fantasy managers who monitor his health could take a chance on him returning for a Tigers debut this season.

George Lombard Jr. Remains a Priority Waiver-Wire Pickup
New York Yankees rookie infield prospect George Lombard Jr. has looked like he belongs in the big leagues through his first 59 at-bats and 17 games played. Lombard is slashing .288/.348/.407 with a .755 OPS, two home runs, a double, five RBI, 12 runs scored, and a stolen base in his 66 plate appearances since being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 4. The team's top overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline, is deserving of more attention off the waiver wire in fantasy baseball leagues for the final month of the regular season in September. The 21-year-old former first-rounder in 2023 hit .284/.411/.498 with a .909 OPS, 12 home runs, 33 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and 65 runs scored in 78 games and 358 plate appearances at three minor-league levels this year before the Yankees brought him up to take over as their everyday shortstop. Lombard's power is still maturing, but it is his advanced plate approach that is more impressive, allowing him to draw plenty of walks and get on base consistently. Fantasy managers looking for infield help should look no further than Lombard, who is still rostered in under half of Yahoo leagues.

Zay Flowers Sits Out Monday's Practice
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers did not participate in Monday's practice, according to Sam Cohn. Flowers eventually walked onto the field in sneakers and a T-shirt, with Cohn noting that he appeared to be moving around fine. Baltimore has not given a reason for his absence. The 25-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, finishing 2025 with 86 catches for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns while playing all 17 games. For now, there isn't enough here to treat Monday's absence as anything more than something to monitor. Unless the Ravens provide additional information or Flowers continues to miss practice, there is no reason for fantasy managers to change their outlook on him heading toward Week 1.

Parks Harber Could Take Advantage of Infield Opening With Giants
In 31 games since being called up to Triple-A Sacramento, San Francisco Giants infield prospect Parks Harber has hit .298 with five homers and 24 RBI with 20 runs scored. The 24-year-old is the No. 13 prospect in the Giants' system and has 55-grade power. The right-handed hitter has fared well between two levels of the minor leagues this season and is showing what he can do in his age 24 season. Harber went undrafted out of the University of North Carolina and was originally signed by the Yankees and was sent to the Giants in the deal that sent Camilo Doval to the Yankees. Harber is looking for a shot at his MLB debut and the Giants have Matt Chapman and Casey Schmitt on the IL leaving an opening at third base. Harber is worth keeping on the radar because of his power potential and could reward fantasy managers if the Giants do give him an opportunity.

Mason Jones Suffers Second-Round TKO Loss
Mason Jones suffered a second-round TKO loss to MarQuel Mederos on the main card of UFC Sacramento on Saturday. It was an exciting, back-and-forth fight where both men slugged it out for a round and a half. Jones tried to push forward and walked into a vicious elbow that hurt him. Mederos and Jones then brawled, and Mederos landed a few more elbows to finish Jones via standing TKO. In 7:07 of action, Mederos landed a takedown and 77 significant strikes. With the loss, Jones dropped to 18-3 as a pro and is now 4-3 in the UFC.

Abimelec Ortiz an Under-the-Radar Source of Power
Washington Nationals rookie first baseman/outfielder Abimelec Ortiz can be a nice under-the-radar source of power for fantasy managers in deeper leagues for the rest of the 2026 season. The 24-year-old left-handed-hitting Puerto Rican made his major-league debut on July 12 but was sent back to the minors immediately. He resurfaced in the majors on Aug. 3, although he has gone only 12-for-60 (.200) at the plate in 19 games and 63 plate appearances, he has added five home runs and nine RBI for the Nats. Per MLB Pipeline, Ortiz is ranked as the club's No. 19 prospect. The 5-foot-10, 230-pounder hit .244/.348/.497 with an .845 OPS, 18 home runs, 74 RBI, and 55 runs scored in 85 games across 365 plate appearances at Triple-A Rochester before getting the call again in early August. Ortiz packs a punch with plus raw power from the left side, and he consistently knows how to access his pull power. Plate discipline is not his strong suit, but with 25-30-homer power over a full season, fantasy managers in deeper leagues seeking pop may want to give Ortiz a look. He is rostered in 14% of Yahoo leagues.
