Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders catches three passes in preseason opener

Jets first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq out a couple more weeks after core muscle surgery.

Related Players: Mason Taylor

The projected timetable still gives Sadiq time to prepare for Week 1, but rookies benefit greatly from training-camp repetitions. His absence provides Taylor with additional opportunities to establish himself and makes Sadiq’s low-end TE2 projection even more reasonable.

Jahmyr Gibbs is now the highest-paid RB in NFL history.

The Lions star gets a 3-year, $75.75M deal with $51.5M guaranteed — the highest APY and the highest guarantee ever for a RB.

More important than the money is that Gibbs’ hold-in is over. He can resume full participation once physically cleared, and the contract removes any lingering availability concern. Nothing here changes his standing as 4for4’s top overall fantasy option.

WR Jaylen Waddle limping pretty good. Looks like left leg.

Related Players: Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims

What initially appeared to be a minor precaution now deserves closer attention. There still isn’t a reported diagnosis or long-term timetable, but Waddle’s inability to practice and visible limp make his next update important. Sutton, Franklin and Bryant would all benefit from additional first-team/first-read opportunities if Waddle misses extended time.
