Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (hand) misses practice, day-to-day

Aug 01, 2025

Bucs QB Baker Mayfield won’t practice today after suffering a contusion on his throwing hand Thursday, per source.

Mayfield underwent scans as a precaution and ruled out a more significant injury. He’s day to day.

Fantasy Impact:

We don't want to see Mayfield miss anytime, but it's great news that it's not more significant. We don't expect this to linger into the regular season at this point, so we should continue to consider him a top-10 option at the position.

Bengals give TE Noah Fant a one-year deal

Bengals are giving former Seahawks and Broncos TE Noah Fant a one-year deal.

Bengals also have released TE Kole Taylor.

Related Players: Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson, Erick All

Fantasy Impact:

We can probably assume that another one of these names (if not Fant himself) will be missing from the team's final 53-man roster. Gesicki should remain the TE to target on this offense, though he can be saved until very deep in drafts.

Giants WR Malik Nabers returns to practice; is "good"

Giants HC Brian Daboll says WR Malik Nabers, who injured his shoulder this week, is “good” and will practice today.

Fantasy Impact:

Great sign for a potential first-round selection in fantasy. The pass-catching corps is still light in New York, so he should continue to demand a massive target share in Year 2.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy in concussion protocol

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy, who left yesterday’s practice after banging his head, is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, per coach Andy Reid.

Fantasy Impact:

This comes just a day after Brown left practice with an ankle injury, signaling an all-around tough practice for the squad yesterday. With Rice potentially missing a portion of the season due to suspension, the Chiefs can't afford to be missing either Brown or Worthy for any time. Let's hope for a speedy recovery for both receivers, or it's going to be a sneaky bounce back season for TE Travis Kelce.
