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.

Kelce corralled two of three targets for 32 yards in Friday's preseason loss to Chicago.

A slimmer Kelce made his preseason debut Friday after sitting out the Chiefs' first two exhibitions. The 35-year-old decided to lace up for a 13th season after his team was unceremoniously bounced from the Super Bowl by the Eagles in 2024. Kelce's numbers have been steadily declining since his last 1,000-yard season back in 2022. That said, an over-the-hill Kelce still warrants fantasy consideration at a very shallow position.

Chestnut rushed the ball five times for 28 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.

Chestnut drew the first carry of the game but rotated out for the first half of Tennessee's second drive, giving way to Kalel Mullings (ankle). Notably, Chestnut did get the nod at the goal line to cap a Titans' scoring drive with Cameron Ward under center. There are several questions about the running back depth chart heading into Week 1 of the regular season, as both Tyjae Spears (ankle) and Mullings are currently beat up, meaning Chestnut could have a clear path to the backup role to Tony Pollard.

Mevis missed his only field-goal attempt from 55 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Eagles.

Mevis has a bigger leg than Nick Folk, but the latter's accuracy already had Folk pegged as the favorite in the Jets' kicking competition, and Friday's results may have sealed the deal for Folk, who made his only field-goal attempt from 41 yards. The Jets will almost certainly cut down to one kicker prior to the Sept. 7 regular-season opener against the Steelers.

Folk made his only field-goal attempt in Friday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Eagles.

Folk connected on a 41-yard field-goal attempt to end the first half. Meanwhile, Harrison Mevis missed a 55-yard attempt in the third quarter. Folk was already viewed as the favorite to win the Jets' kicking job after making 50 of 52 field-goal attempts over the previous two seasons with the Titans, and that standing was likely solidified Friday.

Corley didn't catch either of his two targets in Friday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Eagles. He also had 51 yards on two kickoff returns.

Corley didn't help his chances of making the team with Friday's goose egg on offense. The 2024 third-round draft pick excelled at gaining yards after the catch at Western Kentucky, but his skills didn't translate to NFL success as a rookie, as he had just three catches in nine appearances. The Jets have a new GM and coaching staff with no ties to Corley, so he's in jeopardy of getting cut when the Jets trim the roster down to 53 players ahead of their Sept. 7 regular-season opener against the Steelers.

Smith didn't catch his only target and rushed once for 10 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Eagles.

Smith had a quiet finish to his preseason, and the fact he suited up Friday while the Jets rested their starters suggests the rookie fourth-round pick will begin his career in a depth role. Smith can add a unique element to the Jets' passing game with his deep speed, but he struggled with drops at Georgia and likely won't be a key contributor out of the gate despite the team's lack of an established No. 2 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson.

Moore brought in his lone target for 14 receiving yards in Friday's 29-27 preseason win over the Chiefs.

Moore made his second appearance with the starting offense this preseason, making a nice grab after securing two balls in last week's exhibition. Fantasy managers should expect more production from the talented wideout once the regular season kicks off, especially in an overhauled offense led by head coach Ben Johnson. A clean bill of health should result in the fifth 1,000-yard receiving season of Moore's career after falling just short of that mark last year in QB Caleb Williams' rookie season.

Marshall (knee) caught five of seven targets for 51 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.

Marshall was sidelined by a knee injury for most of the preseason but made a strong case for a spot on Philadelphia's 53-man roster by leading the team in catches and receiving yards in Friday's preseason finale. The 2021 second-round pick of the Panthers is competing for a depth role with the Eagles. Marshall's chances of making the team got a boost this week when fellow wideout Johnny Wilson (knee) was placed on IR.

Felton (arm) did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Titans, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Felton exited practice Wednesday with what looked to be a minor arm injury. Coach Kevin O'Connell noted that Felton was still sore Friday but confirmed that the injury isn't serious. Felton's health ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Bears takes on added importance given the suspension of Jordan Addison and the uncertain status of Jalen Nailor (hand).
