49ers Beat: Jordan James is team's RB2

Jul 27, 2026

Jordan James was clearly the RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey

Related players: Kaelon Black, Isaac Guerendo

Fantasy Impact:

Graham added James has the potential to carve out a nice role for himself this season. CMC was able to collect another big workload last season, but the star RB has, of course, had injury issues in the past, so knowing who his handcuff will be is a big deal as we head into fantasy drafts. There's a long way to go, and James will have to deal with Black and Guerendo. But, James has been getting attention for this role for a while now, and looks poised to be the RB2.

Seahawks Beat: RB Jadarian Price working a lot in passing drills

Gregg Bell on X

Jadarian Price getting drilled—a lot—in the passing game in these first days of Seahawks training camp.

Related players: Zach Charbonnet

Fantasy Impact:

The rookie RB and first round pick has been on the first, second and third team offenses in 11 on 11 and the coaches have been maximizing his reps, Bell went on to say. With the loss of Kenneth Walker, Price is looking poised to have a big role in the Seahawks offense this season, but will still likely lose snaps and touches to Charbonnet.

Jacoby Brissett gets pay raise for 2026 with Cardinals

yesterday · 6:25 PM EDT

The Cardinals and quarterback Jacoby Brissett agreed to a reworked contract that will see Brissett receive a guaranteed $15.5 million in 2026.

Fantasy Impact:

Brissett will have a chance to make up to $21 million with incentives. He was set to make just under $5 million but was in search of more money as he is pretty much set as the Cardinals' starting quarterback, now that Kyler Murray is in Minnesota. Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck are the other two quarterbacks on the roster.

Brissett threw for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts) in 2025. He will now work with new head coach Mike LaFleur and an offense that includes tight end Trey McBride, wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson, and rookie running back Jeremiyah Love.

Matthew Stafford to be on modified training camp schedule

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will work on a modified training camp schedule, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Fantasy Impact:

Stafford is feeling good entering training camp, a vast difference from last season when a back injury caused him to miss most of camp. Of course, Stafford went on to have one of the best years of his career at 37 years old, winning the MVP award.

The plan, according to McVay, is for Stafford to not practice on the first and third days of the Rams' four-day practice block. This means Stafford will not practice Sunday, the first day of practice for the Rams. He will be "doing his own independent stuff where he's taking care of his body," McVay said.

Barshop reports the Rams will also handle other players in a similar way, including wide receiver Davante Adams.
