Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback
Travis Hunter (upper body) was on the practice field on Wednesday and will be ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the Carolina Panthers, according to general manager James Gladstone. Hunter has been dealing with a minor upper-body injury and was held out of the preseason finale as a precaution. The Jaguars have been optimistic all along that the 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner and two-way star would be ready for the start of the regular season. Hunter will play both sides of the ball in his first year in the NFL, but all indications from offseason workouts and training camp suggest he'll be involved quite a bit on the offensive side of the ball as the No. 2 behind
Brian Thomas Jr. Still, without a firm idea of what Hunter's playing time will look like, he'll be boom/bust WR3 target in fantasy drafts.

Miami Dolphins running back
De'Von Achane (calf) was not practicing on Wednesday, according to Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. Achane has been dealing with a lingering calf injury throughout most of August. However, earlier on Wednesday, the team's general manager noted that he expects their top running back to be "ready" for their Week 1 match against the Colts. While the Dolphins could be closely monitoring his workload, seeing him continue to sit out in practice is not a positive sign. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status leading up to Week 1. When healthy, Achane is one of the most productive running backs in the sport. Last season, Achane enjoyed a breakout campaign totaling 907 yards on the ground and 592 through the air. If he were to miss time, rookie
Ollie Gordon II would likely be bumped up the depth chart.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Tyreek Hill (oblique) did not take part in Wednesday's practice, according to Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. Hill has only been on the field a handful of times this month due to a nagging oblique injury, but the Dolphins have remained optimitic that he'll be ready for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, versus the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy managers should be more alarmed about the 31-year-old speedster's Week 1 status if he still isn't practicing next week. Hill's lack of activity in training camp isn't endearing him to fantasy managers coming off a disappointing 2024 campaign, although the five-time All-Pro did still have 959 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 81 receptions. He's no longer a slam dunk as a WR1 in fantasy, with most of his fantasy value resting on the health of oft-injured quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running backs
Clyde Edwards-Helaire and
Carson Steele to their practice squad on Wednesday, sources tell Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest. Edwards-Helaire was released by the New Orleans Saints on roster cutdown day on Tuesday, but he will quickly land on his feet with the team that selected him 32nd overall in 2020 out of LSU. The 26-year-old ran for 803 yards and four touchdowns on 181 carries in his first year in the NFL, but he never came close to matching those numbers over the next four years before KC cut him last season. While CEH probably should be considered a long shot to find a significant backfield role with the Chiefs again, he does bring experience and knowledge of head coach Andy Reid's offense with him. Steele will return after carrying the ball 56 times for 183 yards and no TDs in 17 games in his rookie season in 2024.

Former New York Jets wide receiver
Malachi Corley is signing an undisclosed deal with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, sources tell Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Corley chose the Browns but had multiple opportunities on the open market. Corley, 23, only made it one season with the New York Jets after they took him in the third round (65th overall) out of Western Kentucky. He played in only nine games (83 offensive snaps) with Gang Green last year and caught just three of his six targets for 16 yards. Corley will now head to the AFC North, where there is plenty of opportunity in the team's receiving room behind
Jerry Jeudy and
Cedric Tillman. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Corley will begin on Cleveland's practice squad. For now, he's just a name to monitor for receiver depth in deep fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
A.J. Brown (hamstring) appeared to be practicing on Wednesday, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. The Eagles don't have to release an official practice report until Sunday, though, so we won't really know more specifics on Brown's practice participation until then. The 28-year-old also looked good while doing a pre-game workout before the team's preseason finale last Friday, so all signs are pointing to Brown being ready to roll for Week 1 of the regular season on Thursday night against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4. The three-time Pro Bowler had his third straight 1,000 yard season in 2024 in his third year in Philly on his way to helping the team win their second Super Bowl championship. Injuries can be an issue, but when healthy, Brown is a top-10 fantasy wideout in one of the best offenses in football.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver
Chris Godwin (ankle) is "getting healthier by the day." Bowles said he can't put a specific timeline on when Godwin might return, but he said it will hopefully be "sooner than later." When asked specifically when the earliest we could see Godwin make his 2025 debut, Bowles said anywhere from Week 2 to Week 5. The 29-year-old passed his physical on Tuesday and will not open the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which suggests the Bucs think he has a shot to return before Week 5. Still, Godwin needs to get back on the practice field after missing all of training camp and the preseason following his season-ending dislocated left ankle in Week 7 of 2024. Rookie
Emeka Egbuka will serve as the team's No. 2 until Godwin can return. In fantasy leagues with IR spots, Godwin is worth a late-round flier.

The New York Jets claimed tight end
Jelani Woods off waivers on Wednesday from the Indianapolis Colts, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Woods did not make the Colts' final 53-man roster heading into the 2025 season, and now he'll look to make his return to NFL action with the Jets for the first time since 2022. The 26-year-old will be competing for TE2 duties with
Jeremy Ruckert in New York behind rookie first-rounder
Mason Taylor. Woods, a former third-round pick (73rd overall) in 2022, caught 25 of 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games (two starts) in his rookie season with Indy. However, a serious hamstring injury caused him to miss each of the last two years, causing the Colts to move on. Woods would only be worth a look on the waiver wire in fantasy this year if Taylor misses time with an injury.

The New England Patriots claimed quarterback
Tommy DeVito off waivers on Wednesday from the New York Giants, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Giants didn't have a need for DeVito any longer after signing
Russell Wilson and
Jameis Winston and trading up to draft rookie
Jaxson Dart in the first round in April. The 27-year-old will now head to the AFC East, where he'll serve as the QB3 behind starter
Drake Maye and backup
Joshua Dobbs. DeVito went undrafted out of college before joining the Giants and making his NFL debut in 2023, when he started six games. In his two NFL seasons with the G-Men, DeVito has completed 65.3 percent of his 222 pass attempts for 1,358 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He is well off the fantasy radar but could push Dobbs for QB2 duties during the year behind Maye.

The New England Patriots are releasing veteran wide receiver
Kendrick Bourne (foot) on Wednesday, sources tell Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Bourne requested to be released so that he can try to latch on with another team that doesn't have such a crowded receiving picture. The 30-year-old missed most of August with a foot injury, but he's healthy now and looking to contribute somewhere else in 2025. The former undrafted pass-catcher out of Eastern Washington spent the first four years of his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers, but it wasn't until he came to New England that he really blossomed as a receiver. Bourne had a career-best 55-800-5 line in 17 games (five starts) in 2021, but he dropped off considerably the following year and hasn't been the same after suffering an injury in 2023. It's possibly he'll look to reunite with the Niners, who could use the wideout depth.
