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.

49ers RB Jordan James breaks finger, out for "couple weeks"

49ers rookie RB Jordan James broke his finger and is getting surgery. Will be out "a couple weeks", Shanahan said

Fantasy Impact:

Guerendo is already sidelined with a shoulder injury so things are pretty thin in the RB room right now. If CMC wasn't already slated for a giant workload, that looks just about locked in at this point. He's an easy first-round click.

Cowboys don't believe TE Jake Ferguson's injury "is significant"

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Micah Parsons remains with the team even though he wasn’t at today’s practice.

More evaluation needed on RB Jaydon Blue and TE Jake Ferguson but they don’t think either injury is significant

Fantasy Impact:

Sounds like a rough day at practice for the Cowboys, but we shouldn't bump Ferguson down the ranks until we hear it's a more serious injury than it looks. As a clear option to be the No. 3 pass-catcher in a pass-heavy offense, he should be considered as a fantasy asset in the fringe TE1/2 range.

Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue spends time in injury tent, returns to practice in shorts and shirt

Jaydon Blue spent time in the injury tent and just walked off the field on his own power.

Looks like he might be done for today.

Related Players: Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders

Fantasy Impact:

Sounds like something minor, but all fantasy eyes will be on him as we continue to try to make sense out of this backfield. Williams seems like the frontrunner to start the season as RB1, but with his and Sanders' inefficiency in recent years, the rookie is a very interesting target late in drafts.
