New Orleans Saints rookie third-round tight end Oscar Delp (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury in training camp, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. The severity of Delp's hamstring injury is unclear, but he has several weeks to recover before the Week 1 regular-season opener. If healthy, the 23-year-old Georgia product figures to open up his first year in the NFL as the Saints' TE3 behind Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant, which will not endear him to fantasy managers in single-year leagues in 2026. Delp has considerable size at 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, but his production in his four years with the Bulldogs does not exactly stand out, as he finished with 854 total yards and nine touchdowns on 70 receptions in 55 total games. Delp never had more than 284 receiving yards or four touchdowns in a single season and will be fighting an uphill battle for playing time in New Orleans as a rookie. He profiles as a dynasty/keeper stash at the TE position and not much else.--Keith Hernandez

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant is having a "heckuva camp," head coach Sean Payton told Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Bryant appears to be in the lead for the WR3 role over Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims Jr. after starting alongside Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton in last Friday's preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers, where he failed to reel in his only target. After being selected in the third round (74th overall) last year out of Illinois, the 23-year-old caught 31 of his 49 targets for 378 yards and only one touchdown in 15 regular-season games (seven starts) in his first year in the NFL. The 6-foot-2, 204-pounder missed some time late in the 2025 season due to a concussion, and he also came out of the AFC Championship game early with a hamstring injury. He has considerable size and good hands, but with Sutton and Waddle likely dominating targets from quarterback Bo Nix, Bryant might be fighting an uphill battle for WR4/flex value in fantasy football leagues. Right now, RotoBaller has ranked him as the No. 66 fantasy WR going into his sophomore campaign. In deeper leagues, he is worth a late-round flier in a Broncos offense that could be much more explosive after the offseason acquisition of Waddle.--Keith Hernandez

The Arizona Cardinals waived running back Trey Benson (knee) with an injured designation on Monday in order to make room on the roster for linebacker Josh Sweat, who was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to Darren Urban of the team's official website. Benson, a former third-rounder in 2024 from Florida State, only played in four games last year due to a season-ending left-knee injury, and he had recently missed time in training camp with more issues with the same knee. In two seasons in Arizona, Benson played in just 17 total games and racked up 451 yards on 92 carries, averaging 4.9 yards per attempt. Another NFL team will probably have interest in adding Benson to their RB room, but only if he can get over his left-knee issues. Going forward in Arizona, the Cardinals head into the 2026 season with Tyler Allgeier, rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love (ankle), and veteran James Conner (foot) as their top-three RBs.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell (undisclosed) has missed two straight training camp practices, and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel said he had a "setback," according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. Mitchell is set to have a role in McDaniel's offense in 2026 on a weekly basis alongside Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal, but it is unclear if his recent setback will put him in any danger of missing Week 1 of the regular season against the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old former undrafted free agent from East Carolina latched on with the Baltimore Ravens and spent his first three years in the NFL with the Ravens, but he managed to play in only 26 games (two starts) due to injuries, recording 767 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 121 carries. Mitchell is highly explosive when healthy, but his lack of pass-catching skills in a committee approach in L.A. in 2026 will severely cap his fantasy upside if both Hampton and Vidal stay healthy. In half-PPR formats, RotoBaller has Mitchell ranked as the No. 42 fantasy RB for 2026 in his first year with the Bolts.--Keith Hernandez

Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said that rookie first-round running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is progressing, but he will be sidelined this week, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. Love suffered a high-ankle sprain in the first week of the preseason, and although he is missing valuable time before his first NFL season, the good news is that he will avoid ankle surgery that would have made him unavailable for the start of the regular season in early September. It is still a bit unclear if Love will be available for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and if he is, he could be pretty limited from a workload perspective. Arizona's backfield has been banged up this summer, with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) still recovering from season-ending injuries in 2025. Even if Love is ready to roll for Week 1, Tyler Allgeier is trending toward being the Cardinals' primary running back to kick off the regular season. Love's fantasy price was inflated after the Cardinals took him third overall out of Notre Dame, but his preseason injury has knocked him down draft boards a bit as an RB2 target in the early rounds for his explosiveness in all facets of the game.--Keith Hernandez

The Los Angeles Rams still haven't settled on who will back up Matthew Stafford this season. Sean McVay said Monday that he has not made a decision between Stetson Bennett IV and rookie Ty Simpson and is still working through how the quarterback reps will be divided Thursday against the Chargers, though Simpson will play. Bennett has held the inside track throughout camp, taking first-team reps on Stafford's rest days and most of the second-team work when Stafford practices. He also led scoring drives on four of five first-half possessions against New Orleans on Saturday and ran for two touchdowns. Simpson has made his own case, completing 29 of 37 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns without an interception through two preseason games. Neither has been named the No. 2 yet. Thursday's preseason finale gives McVay one more look at the quarterback room before the Rams set their Week 1 depth chart.--Bruno Mulé

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle) did not participate in Monday's training camp practice, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Jeanty was injured in practice on Sunday and was unable to put pressure on his right leg, but ESPN reported late Sunday evening that the second-year back is only dealing with a sprained ankle. He could miss some time, but barring a setback, Jeanty could still be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. With Jeanty sidelined for a bit with his ankle sprain, rookie fourth-rounder Mike Washington Jr. will get more run with the first-team offense as he looks to solidify the RB2 role heading into his first year in the NFL. Jeanty ran for 975 yards and five rushing touchdowns on 266 carries in 2025 after the Raiders selected him with the sixth overall pick out of Boise State. The 22-year-old added 55 catches for 346 yards and five more TDs as a receiver in 17 starts to finish as the RB13 in half-PPR scoring. The Raiders figure to have more upside on offense with better QB play in 2026, making Jeanty a strong RB2 target with upside as he heads into Year 2.--Keith Hernandez

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (groin) took team reps Monday and looked sharp doing it. Ryan Wood reported that Jacobs showed good burst through the middle on inside-zone runs after spending most of August working his way back from a groin injury. This is a bigger step than his return last week, when Jacobs was limited to individual drills after nearly two weeks on the sideline. He is coming off a 2025 season in which he rushed 234 times for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games, while adding 36 catches for 282 yards and another score. Green Bay has been cautious with Jacobs throughout August, but getting him back into team work and seeing that kind of burst is encouraging with the regular season approaching. Monday looked much closer to normal work for the veteran back.--Bruno Mulé

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White (hamstring) returned to practice Monday after missing Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, according to Zach Selby. White sat out last Wednesday with a hamstring injury, then was able to do some work Thursday before Washington kept him out of the game. Head coach Dan Quinn said at the time that the injury was not expected to be a long-term issue. White spent his first four seasons with Tampa Bay and finished 2025 with 132 carries for 572 yards and four touchdowns, plus 40 catches for 218 yards. His receiving ability remains one of the clearest ways for him to earn work in a Washington backfield that also includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The Commanders have not committed to a single lead back, so getting White back on the field matters as that rotation takes shape. Monday's return is a positive step after a brief hamstring setback with Week 1 approaching.--Bruno Mulé

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) took another meaningful step Monday, shedding the red non-contact jersey and working into both 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods, according to Connor Hughes. Nabers wasn't a full participant and the Giants practiced without pads, but this was still his first contact-type work since tearing his ACL and meniscus last season. He also made a diving catch coming back to the ball on an intermediate route. Nabers had already returned to full-speed team periods last week while still wearing the red jersey, so Monday moves the recovery forward again. He caught 18 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns in four games before the injury ended his 2025 season. Week 1 has not been formally guaranteed by the team, but Hughes said the outlook continues to look good. With Nabers now taking live reps without the non-contact jersey, he's cleared another important hurdle before the opener.--Bruno Mulé

Chicago Bears wide receiver/kick returner Kalif Raymond has done nothing but impress his teammates and the coaching staff during training camp this summer, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. "Man, Kalif is amazing," receiver Luther Burden III said. "He's really like a coach out there. He's a great guy on and off the field. You can learn from him. His release package is sick. He's a great guy, and he's out the roof. Kalif is a great leader for the team; he's the guy, man." Raymond has not had more than 300 yards receiving since 2023, but he has established himself as a Hall of Famer in work ethic and vibes, Fishbain writes. "This guy is the most selfless player I've ever been around," head coach Ben Johnson said. Raymond has reunited with Johnson, who was formerly the Lions' passing-game coordinator in 2021, when Raymond had 576 receiving yards and four touchdowns. When Johnson was the offensive coordinator in 2022, Raymond had 616 yards. Raymond has been the recipient of some of the team's most explosive plays this summer after initially being an afterthought signing to compete for the WR3 role behind Burden and Rome Odunze. Speed is what separates the 32-year-old veteran as both a receiver and a kick returner, but barring an injury to Burden or Odunze, Raymond is a hard sell for WR depth in standard 12-team fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Miami Dolphins rookie third-round wide receiver Chris Bell (knee) was out of the red, no-contact jersey at training camp practice on Monday, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. It did not take long for Bell to ramp back up to a full-go after the Dolphins activated him from the Non-Football Injury list last Monday. The 22-year-old is coming off knee surgery but should be ready to go for Week 1 of his rookie season, barring a setback in the next few weeks. It wouldn't be a surprise if the Dolphins play it safe and keep Bell out of their preseason finale this Friday against the Atlanta Falcons, but the talented rookie will have an opportunity to quickly become a key piece of the offense in Miami when considering that Jalen Tolbert and Malik Washington are their two top receivers. For now, the Louisville product is primarily a stash candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues as he competes for targets behind Tolbert and Washington.--Keith Hernandez

New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs already had the No. 2 job, and Monday's Kayshon Boutte trade clears out another player who could have taken outside snaps and downfield targets. New England agreed to send Boutte to Houston for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick. Doubs is coming off 55 catches for 724 yards and six touchdowns with Green Bay, and his first Patriots camp has picked up after a slower start. He has made several contested and red-zone catches lately, while A.J. Brown, Doubs and DeMario Douglas have been the regular first-team trio around Drake Maye. Boutte was mostly working behind that group, but he still had 551 yards and six touchdowns last season and gave Maye another proven vertical option. That competition is gone now. Brown remains the clear No. 1 and Douglas should get plenty of slot work, so Doubs is not suddenly headed for massive volume. His place in the offense does look even safer, though. RotoBaller has him at WR53 and 122nd overall in PPR, and the trade gives his late-round flex case another small bump.--Bruno Mulé

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud got some needed help Monday after a rough week for the receiver room. New England has agreed to send Kayshon Boutte to Houston for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick. The move comes days after Jayden Higgins tore his ACL and was lost for the season. Boutte is not replacing all of that by himself, but he gives Stroud another receiver who can stretch the field. He caught 33 passes for 551 yards and six touchdowns last season, averaging 16.7 yards per catch with 10 receptions of at least 20 yards. Houston had already added Zay Jones and Sterling Shepard, so the Texans have clearly been trying to rebuild the depth behind Nico Collins. Stroud threw for 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 14 games last year and currently sits at QB23 in RotoBaller's rankings. Boutte does not suddenly fix everything, but the passing-game outlook looks better than it did after Higgins went down.--Bruno Mulé
