  • Jashaun Corbin RB | DAL

    Falcons' Jashaun Corbin: Finds running room Friday

    Corbin carried the ball 11 times for 51 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-4 yards in Friday's 31-13 preseason loss to the Cowboys. He added 47 yards on two kickoff returns.

    The UFL's rushing leader in 2025 got the first touch out of the backfield in Atlanta's exhibition finale, but Corbin's biggest gain came on the team's first drive of the second half, when he scampered for 19 yards. Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are locked into the top two spots on the running back depth chart, but the No. 3 role could be wide open with Carlos Washington (hamstring) having missed the entire preseason. Nathan Carter and Elijah Dotson are also still in the mix.

  • Easton Stick QB | TB

    Falcons' Easton Stick: Uneven effort in preseason finale

    Stick completed 20 of 28 passes for 198 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Friday's 31-13 preseason loss to the Cowboys. He added 18 rushing yards on three carries.

    The veteran backup QB played into the fourth quarter in Atlanta's final exhibition contest, as both Michael Penix and Kirk Cousins were held out. Stick did lead the offense into scoring position on three of five first-half drives, but a missed field goal cost the Falcons some points, and his final pass of the night got picked off. Barring a sudden end to the Cousins saga via trade or an injury, Stick will head into the regular season third on the depth chart and unlikely to see snaps.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Grabs one reception Friday

    Worthy brought in his only target for nine receiving yards in Friday's 29-27 preseason loss to the Bears.

    Worthy logged his first reception of the preseason after seeing the field briefly with the rest of the starters last week against the Seahawks. The gadget receiver avoided the league's concussion protocol after going down hard in practice earlier in camp. Worthy could see an expanded role on offense this season with fellow wideout Rashee Rice expected to miss a significant chunk of the season due to an impending league suspension, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports. The latter may be active for the first four games of the season until a ruling is made, but expect Worthy to operate as the team's top receiver for a good portion of the fantasy campaign.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Quiet end to preseason

    Helm did not record a catch on one target in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.

    Helm was on the field during two tight-end sets with Cameron Ward under center, a positive indication that he will have an immediate role in the Tennessee offense. However, he failed to make an impact in the box score, as his only target of the game came from Brandon Allen. Chig Okonkwo is likely to be Tennessee's primary tight end to begin the regular season, but Helm has seemingly risen up the depth chart quickly to begin his rookie year.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Active for preseason finale

    Hunt (quadriceps) took three carries for 15 yards and failed to bring in his only target in Friday's 29-27 preseason loss to Chicago.

    Hunt was a game-time decision for Friday's contest after dealing with a quad contusion during the practice week. The veteran back was able to suit up and got mixed in with the first-team offense behind starter Isiah Pacheco. The latter is expected to handle lead-back duties to begin the regular season, with Hunt seeing work as a receiver and in goal-line situations.

  • Brett Rypien QB | HOU

    Vikings' Brett Rypien: Roster spot in jeopardy

    Rypien completed seven of 14 passes for 62 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Friday's 23-13 preseason loss to the Titans.

    Rypien initially entered the game in the second quarter, following Max Brosmer after two offensive possessions. Rypien got the Vikings deep into Tennessee territory as halftime approached, but he then threw an interception and was checked for a concussion after taking a hit on the same play. He was ultimately cleared and returned in the fourth quarter, but Rypien looks to be fourth on the depth chart as cutdown day approaches.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Star on offense Friday

    Odunze finished with three receptions on five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason win over Kansas City.

    Odunze showed marked improvement over his catchless outing last week with Friday's team-leading performance. The 2024 first-round pick caught QB Caleb Williams' only passing touchdown while also finishing with Chicago's longest reception (37 yards). Odunze will attempt to build off of a modest 54-734-3 receiving line as a rookie when the Bears kick off the regular season against the Vikings on Sept. 8.

  • Max Brosmer QB | MIN

    Vikings' Max Brosmer: Pads stats late in preseason start

    Brosmer completed 15 of 23 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Friday's 23-13 preseason loss to the Titans. He added two rushes for five yards.

    Brosmer started the game with both J.J. McCarthy and Sam Howell resting and led two drives before giving way to Brett Rypien. However, Rypien was checked for a concussion after taking a hard hit, ultimately allowing Brosmer to get extended run. Brosmer was able to pad his stats with the added opportunity thanks to a few big plays to start the third quarter, when he connected with Dontae Fleming and Bryson Nesbit for 36 and 21 yard gains, respectively -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. Brosmer was impressive during his first preseason in the NFL, and he looks likely to open the regular season as Minnesota's third quarterback.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Gains 34 yards in preseason debut

    Swift rushed seven times for 28 yards with one reception for six yards in Friday's 29-27 preseason win over the Chiefs.

    Swift made his 2025 preseason debut Friday after sitting out an additional game against Buffalo last week. The 26-year-old moved the ball well on eight touches as he prepares to lead Chicago's backfield for the second consecutive campaign. Swift generated 1,345 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts last year, numbers he could easily reproduce with a clean bill of health in 2025.

  • Kalel Mullings RB | TEN

    Titans' Kalel Mullings: Dealing with ankle issue

    Mullings suffered an ankle injury during Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.comreports.

    Mullings got some reps with Cameron Ward, leading the backfield during Tennessee's second offensive possession. He picked up 27 yards on six carries prior to his injury, though he did also cede a goal-line carry to Julius Chestnut. An initial diagnosis suggests that Mullings' ankle injury is minor, but his status will be worth monitoring as a Week 1 matchup against the Broncos nears.
