Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty not placed on IR

Aug 31, 2026

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.

Related players: Mike Washington Jr., Dylan Laube

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.

Chargers Beat: Keaton Mitchell looks like RB2

BoltsBeat.com

2 minutes ago

Keaton Mitchell looks to be RB2 in this offense based on his fit within OC Mike McDaniel's scheme, and if he can stay healthy, he'll have an enlarged snap share available alongside Hampton— who the Chargers may try to grant some rest to over the course of the season based on the depth of this room.

Related players: Omarion Hampton, Kimani Vidal

Fantasy Impact:

There was some cryptic stuff from McDaniel about Mitchell last week that had some wondering what exactly was going on with the Chargers backfield. Hampton is the clear RB1, and it appears Mitchell has the RB2 job ahead of Vidal. The story said Vidal is on the rise, however, and is a pass catching weapon, but didn't show a lot this offseason and has some work to do. Mitchell can be a pass catching weapon too, but as the story said, if Hampton would get hurt, Mitchell isn't really a bell-cow back who would take right over. It looks like for now Mitchell may have the early edge as the team's RB2, however.

Seahawks place Zach Charbonnet on PUP list

Adam Schefter

The Seahawks placed RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list.

Fantasy Impact:

Charbonnet is still recovering from his ACL injury suffered in last season's Divisional Playoff against the 49ers. There were talks Charbonnet could be ready for Week 1, but this move ensures Charbonnet will miss at least the first four games of the season. Rookie Jadarian Price is set to be the lead back to start the season, though he did deal with lower-body injuries. He is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Patriots next Wednesday. George Holani could also mix into the offense.

J.J. McCarthy makes Vikings’ initial 53

Minnesota Vikings

yesterday · 6:44 PM EDT

Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy made the initial 53-man roster Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

There were rumblings over the weekend McCarthy would be let go, but the Vikings are going with four quarterbacks, at least for now, among their 53: Kyler Murray, McCarthy, Carson Wentz, Max Brosmer. There is still a chance the Vikings seek a trade for McCarthy. Keeping four quarterbacks gives them that potential flexibility. The extra time between roster cutdown and Week 1 makes this more possible than in previous years.
