Rams still plan to have QB Matthew Stafford ready by Week 1

Aug 06, 2025

Sources: Rams QB Matthew Stafford is dealing with an aggravated disc and has received an epidural to help him deal with it.

Los Angeles has called him week-to-week, being cautious, but with plans for him to be ready for Week 1.

Related Players: Jimmy Garoppolo

Fantasy Impact:

Even if Stafford is truly 100% by Week 1, he can still be ignored in typical redraft leagues with the possibility open to streaming him later in the season. The team does have a perfectly capable backup in Garoppolo, so we could see him snag a start or two before Stafford's shoulder is all the way back to normal.

Talking on @953WDAE, Bucs GM Jason Licht frames Chris Godwin’s return as likely October (Week 5 or later), saying Tristan Wirfs might be a little sooner.

Related Players: Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan

Fantasy Impact:

This is about the timeline that we thought he'd be on, but it's still a little confusing why the team took him off of PUP. Regardless, we should consider Evans a WR2 and Egbuka a WR3 as we head into drafts this weekend.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill returns to practice, expected to be ready for Week 1

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright had a minor procedure. Goal is “Septemberish” return per HC Mike McDaniel. Expected to miss multiple weeks.

Miami signing RBs JaMycal Hasty & Jeff Wilson to practice squad.

McDaniel: De’Von Achane (calf) & Tyreek Hill (oblique) on track to play WK1.

Related Players: Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington

Fantasy Impact:

After a summer filled with bad vibes, it's good to see Hill back out on the practice field. He's been a bit of a shy-away through most of drafting season, but now he's often falling into the fourth round, it makes selecting him a little easier to swallow. With or without Hill, Waddle is a sneaky upside target after a down year.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright to miss "some time" after "small procedure"

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright had a "small procedure" done that isn't season-ending but will take some time to recover from, per McDaniel

Miami has signed RBs Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty in response

Related Players: De'Von Achane, Ollie Gordon

Fantasy Impact:

This looks like wheels-up for Ollie Gordon, who has been steamed up after Wright missed time this preseason. Achane is still the back we want in this backfield, but Gordon looks like a great double-digit stab who could mix in enough to warrant FLEX appeal during bye weeks.
