Jets RB Elijah McGuire (foot) won't be ready for Week 1

Aug 26, 2018

RB Elijah McGuire (foot) will not be ready for the season-opener, Todd Bowles said.

Related players: Bilal Powell, Isaiah Crowell

Fantasy Impact:

Bowles also wouldn't rule out putting McGuire on short-term IR to start the season. The Jets said they are going to use the hot hand between Powell and Crowell, but as of late, Powell has looked like the better of the two.

Patriots release WR Julian Edelman due to 'failed physical'

The #Patriots have terminated the contract of WR Julian Edelman, per the wire. He’s listed as a failed physical.

Fantasy Impact:

The Edelman era is over in New England. This is probably good news for the plethora of new pass-catchers that the Patriots acquired in free agency, including Nelson Agholor, Hunter Henry, Jonnu Smith and Kendrick Bourne. As a free agent, Edelman probably doesn't have much gas left in the tank if he's failing physicals, but we'll see where he lands.

Bucs sign RB Giovani Bernard to a one-year deal

Veteran RB Giovani Bernard is signing a one-year deal with the #Bucs, per source.

Tom Brady and Bruce Arians both personally recruited Bernard, one of the NFL’s best receiving backs, after his release from Cincinnati. Another weapon for Brady and the Super Bowl champs.

Fantasy Impact:

It's been a while since we've had a fantasy-relevant signing, but this one qualifies. Tom Brady has potentially found his James White 2.0. Bernard is a good pass-catcher, so he'll eat into Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones's snaps on third down. This backfield is going to be tough to predict again in 2021.

Eagles are re-signing RB Jordan Howard to a one-year deal, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Jordan Howard came back to Philly at the end of last season after a rough go in Miami. He'll be competing for a job with the Eagles in 2021, but nothing is guaranteed with this new coaching staff.
