Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins dealing with soft tissue injury

Aug 10, 2026

Soft-tissue issue for J.K. Dobbins, per Sean Payton. Said he’s concerned with the number of muscle injuries in camp so far.

Warm-down at the end of practice was part of the response to soft-tissue injuries.

Related players: RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman

Fantasy Impact:

The team thinks Dobbins will be fine, according to reports, but Dobbins has certainly dealt with his share of injuries in his career, so this one is again worth monitoring. When Dobbins was injured last season, it was Harvey who took over the lead back role. This season, the Broncos added Coleman in the draft, so if Dobbins misses some practices, it's going to give extra chances to both Harvey and Coleman to step up. Harvey only rushed for 3.7 yards per attempt last year, and was considered much more effective as a pass-catcher. That could open up Coleman for a chance at more carries should Dobbins end up missing time. It's all worth monitoring as we head into draft season.

Eagles Beat: WR Darius Cooper closer to WR2 than WR4

Darius Cooper is much, much closer to WR2 than he is WR4 at this point.

Fantasy Impact:

ESP went on to say at this point it feels like, especially with Smith out, Cooper is the player QB Jalen Hurts goes to when he needs a catch or doesn’t have anywhere else to go with the ball. Keep in mind, first round pick Lemon hasn't been taking part in practices. Wicks has been having a nice camp himself, but Cooper, who made the Eagles last season, looks to be ahead of him in the pecking order of WRs. It could be a situation to monitor, because with A.J. Brown no longer in town, the team's WR2 role may very well be up for grabs.

49erss RB Christian McCaffrey dealing with 'tightness'

Pro Football Talk

The 49ers are dealing with yet another injury concern.

Via multiple reporters, running back Christian McCaffrey is sitting out of Monday’s practice due to what the club termed “tightness.”

Related players: Jordan James, Kaelon Black, Isaac Guerendo

Fantasy Impact:

The specifics of the tightness or when McCaffrey might get back on the field have not yet been disclosed, according to the story. Any time one of the top RBs in fantasy drafts has to sit out, it's worth noting, but especially for CMC, who has dealt with his share of injuries. And, it drives home the fact you may want to target CMC's handcuff in drats. That appeared to be James, but he's dealing with a rib injury, while the rookie Black has also missed time in camp. Guerendo looks like the next guy up at this point, but it could be a fluid situation by the time your draft rolls around. It's worth keeping an eye on this RB depth chart if you are, or plan to be, a McCaffrey owner.

Browns WR Denzel Boston to work with first team

Browns HC Todd Monken said Spencer Fano will start working with the 1s at left tackle and Denzel Boston will start working with the 1s at receiver starting today.

Related players: KC Concepcion, Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman

Fantasy Impact:

It seems to be a good sign that Boston could have a fantasy-relevant role on the Browns this year, alongside of top pick KC Concepcion. The positive press has been steady for both receivers and it looks like both will be in the mix, along with Jeudy, as the top WRs on the Browns. The negative, however, is still the QB situation, and that's likely to be the only thing holding back any of the Browns receivers. Both rookie WRs could make for nice depth pieces in your drafts this year, with the potential to climb your team's fantasy depth chart after a few weeks.
