Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan, RB Sean Tucker doubtful for Week 1

Sep 11, 2026

Todd Bowles said Jalen McMillan and Sean Tucker are doubtful against Cincinnati despite both practicing on a limited basis Friday. Neither experienced a setback, but the Buccaneers expect to proceed without them. Emeka Egbuka is “full-go.”

Fantasy Impact:

Egbuka can be started without injury concerns and gains additional target stability with McMillan unlikely to play. Rookie Ted Hurst should receive more reps as Tampa Bay’s third receiver. Tucker’s expected absence consolidates the active backfield around Irving and Gainwell, while practice-squad back Josh Williams could be elevated.

Packers secure Tucker Kraft with four-year extension worth up to $92 million

The Packers and tight end Tucker Kraft agreed to terms on a four-year extension worth up to $92 million Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

The base extension is worth $75 million and includes a $26 million signing bonus. Kraft will average $19.66 million over the first three new years of the deal, a deal that now runs through the 2030 season. Kraft has worked his way back from a torn ACL and is not on the injury report as he gets set for Sunday’s opener against the Vikings. If he stays healthy, Kraft could end up being one of the best value picks in fantasy football this season.

Cowboys RB Malik Davis expected to miss time with “pretty serious” hip injury

yesterday · 5:46 PM EDT

Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones said on 105.3 "The Fan" on Friday that Davis had a "pretty serious" injury and could be out for a while.

"Unfortunately, I think he's looking at a pretty serious injury that could take him out for some period of time," Jones said. "We don't have the final details, we'll know more, but certainly so disappointed for Malik. Obviously tough for our team, but like anything it's next man up."

Fantasy Impact:

Williams loses the primary threat to his workload and could now handle more passing-down and change-of-pace work in addition to his established early-down role. Demercado becomes the immediate backup and a deep-league contingency stash, while Abanikanda will likely be elevated for Sunday. Davis can be dropped in most redraft leagues while the Cowboys determine the full extent of his injury.

Bears sign RB D’Andre Swift to three-year extension

Sources: RB D’Andre Swift and the Chicago Bears have reached agreeement on a 3-year, $33.75 million extension that includes $27.5M guaranteed. This is now Swift’s third NFL contract. Trevon Smith and David Mulugheta of Athletes First and the Bears just wrapped up the deal with the regular season’s start looming.

Related Players: Kyle Monangai, Roschon Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

The extension does not alter Swift’s immediate outlook, but the guaranteed money reinforces his position atop Chicago’s backfield beyond 2026. Monangai can still earn a complementary role, though the deal creates a considerably higher long-term obstacle to his emergence as the Bears’ lead back.
