MIN: Peterson suffered an ankle injury

Luther Burden is expected to miss about a month after suffering a groin injury in practice on Saturday, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS. The Bears’ regular-season opener is a little more than a month away on September 13, which means if all goes according to plan, Burden will be on the field.

This groin injury will be a setback that keeps him off the practice field and out of the preseason, but shouldn’t keep him off the field when the season starts.

The Bears are optimistic Burden can play in Week 1 against the Panthers, which is great news, but we're also a bit away from knowing that for sure. Either way, it seems like Burden will be back early enough in the process to keep his fantasy value in tact as we head toward draft day. Last year Burden caught 47 passes as a rookie and as the story said, Bears head coach Ben Johnson recently praised Burden’s competitiveness and spoke as if he’s expecting a very big season from Burden in year two where he seems set to take on a bigger role in the offense. We agree, and rank Burden 25th among our WRs, giving him lower end WR2 value.

Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater informed the team Sunday he is stepping away from the team and retiring from the NFL.

This is the second time Bridgewater has decided to retire from the NFL. The 33-year old was officially placed on the reserve/retired list. He came back to the NFL in 2025 after initially retiring after the 2023 season. As of now, undrafted free agent Luke Altmyer is behind Jared Goff.

ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Raanan said Saturday that, barring a setback, wide receiver Malik Nabers should be ready for Week 1 against the Cowboys.

Raanan says Nabers has participated in nine of the Giants’ ten practices thus far after not being placed on the physically unable to perform list to start camp and has looked better with each practice. Head coach John Harbaugh wants to start getting Nabers involved in more live drills over the next couple of weeks, but as it stands now, Nabers is on track to be on the field to start the season, which will increase his fantasy value as we start getting j to more drafts throughout August and into September.
