Jets to go with Cade Klubnik as QB2

Aug 31, 2026

Rookie Cade Klubnik made the cut to the 53-man roster as the only backup to Geno Smith and head coach Aaron Glenn said at a Monday press conference that the team plans to stick with the fourth-round pick as their No. 2 at the position.

“He’s our backup quarterback and he’ll do a good job,” Glenn said.

Fantasy Impact:

The Jets didn't make a move for another QB, leaving the job to Klubnik, who was a a three-year starter at Clemson. He landed in the fourth round after his production dropped in his final college season, the story pointed out. Klubnik had a nice a camp and garnered positive press at the same time. Klubnik was a popular, later round dynasty pick in drafts, and while he won't hold value in typical fantasy leagues right now, it's easy to see a path to start some games behind the 36-year-old Smith.

Seahawks Beat: RB Jadarian Price set for big role

Pro Football Talk

3 hours ago

The Seahawks made it official that running back Zach Charbonnet will start the season on the physically unable to perform list, and that makes it clear how big a role rookie running back Jadarian Price is going to have in the defending champions’ offense.

Price is the clear-cut No. 1 running back in Seattle, and backing him up will be George Holani, who gained just 73 yards on 22 carries last season, and Emanuel Wilson, a career backup in Green Bay who signed with the Seahawks this offseason.

Fantasy Impact:

We all saw this coming once the Seahawks spent first round draft capital on Price this past spring. Price was a popular name in dynasty leagues all summer long but with redraft league drafts approaching quickly, or already taking place, Price is going to make for a popular RB selection after a lot of the bigger names fall off the board. As the story said, last year the Seahawks used a two-back system with Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker sharing carries. Walker left in free agency and the Seahawks did not add any notable running backs other than Price. We list Price as RB22, but if his passing work can develop there is certainly room to improve on that ranking.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty not placed on IR

Of note: the Raiders did not place RB Ashton Jeanty on IR so clearly they feel he’ll be ready to play within the first four weeks of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

He's still not a lock for Week 1 at this point, but it's at least a bit of good news for owners, and reinforces it's not a long-term injury for Jeanty. Fantasy owners may want to have a backup plan in place, though, and if he's still on your wire after your draft, pick up Washington, who looks like he would be a big factor if Jeanty were to miss time.

Chiefs Beat: Team loves with RB Emmett Johnson has showed

The Chiefs love what Emmett Johnson has showed. Brashard Smith is a wild card Andy Reid can move around on offense, and he’s KR2. Best return in a while for KC on Friday night.

Related players: Kenneth Walker, Emari Demercado

Fantasy Impact:

The Chiefs moved on from from Demercado and it was due liking what they've seen from the rookie Johnson this offseason, the post said. The post added the team considers Walker a three-down back. It looks like Johnson will be the team's clear RB2. Walker may get a large majority of the work, but Walker owners may want to back themselves up by taking Johnson later in drafts.
