Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (leg) won't play Week 1

Aug 25, 2025

Jaylen Wright likely won't play Week 1 but "not too far off .. after that," McDaniel said.

Related players: De'Von Achane, Ollie Gordon, Mike Boone

Fantasy Impact:

The rookie Gordon should slot in behind Achane as the team's RB2. It could be something to keep an eye on later in fantasy drafts. Wright didn't look good in the preseason and the Dolphins are looking to improve in short yardage situations with the loss of Alexander Mattison, so Gordon will likely have some fantasy value right from the start - with the potential to keep the RB2 job even when Wright comes back.

Saints cut RB Cam Akers

ESPN

The New Orleans Saints released veteran running back Cam Akers, the Saints announced Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

This news is really about who is still remaining to possibly claim the RB2 spot behind Kamara. Miller and veteran Edwards-Helaire still remain as does the rookie Neal, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury this summer. Miller is just 23-years-old while CEH is 26, and it's looking like it could be one of the two with Neal likely behind. The RB2 will also steal some carries as well, so this is a situation to monitor if you own, or plan to own, Kamara on your fantasy roster.

The Commanders and Terry McLaurin have agreed to a 3-year contract extension, source confirms.

Fantasy Impact:

The deal is said to be a 3-year extension worth over $96M, according to other sources. Daniels will get his top target back before Week 1 and pushes the rest of the team's WRs down the depth chart, including Samuel who now looks to be the WR2. McLaurin finally delivered a true breakout season - 82 catches, 1,096 yards, and 13 touchdowns - finishing as the WR6 last season.
