Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers has been suspended one game as part of the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. He will miss the first week of the NFL regular season.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a crowded receiver room in Pittsburgh, where Rogers was likely competing with James Washington and Darrius Heyward-Bey for significant snaps and playing time behind Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Prior to the suspension news, Rogers was our No. 168 ranked WR in PPR leagues—trailing both Heyward-Bey (No. 144) and Washington (No. 79).

Report: Packers talking to Houston about trade for WR Will Fuller

Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports that the Packers are exploring the possibility of trading for Texans wide receiver Will Fuller.

Fantasy Impact:

Well this would be interesting. The Packers were widely criticized for failing to add any wide receivers to their offense during the offseason, but pairing Fuller with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams would grab headlines for real and fantasy football. The report notes that a deal is not imminent but Fuller managers should monitor the news for a potential move before the deadline.

49ers designate RB Tevin Coleman (knee) to return from IR

The 49ers designated running back Tevin Coleman to return from injured reserve Wednesday and believe he has a chance to play this week.

Fantasy Impact:

The team will see how Coleman does in practice before deciding whether he will play or not, but it sounds like there is a real chance he returns for a great matchup against Seattle in Week 8. Coleman's return would take some of the appeal out of JaMycal Hasty as a waiver wire flier, although Jeff Wilson Jr. suffered his own injury this past week and Raheem Mostert remains sidelined so Hasty should have a role against the Seahawks regardless of Coleman's status.

Bears WR Allen Robinson (head) enters concussion protocol

Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson entered the NFL's concussion protocol on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Robinson's entry into concussion protocol throws his Week 8 status into doubt as he will be in a race against time to get cleared for Sunday's game against the Saints. If Robinson misses Week 8, teammates Anthony Miller and Darnell Mooney would see a boost in usage at receiver. His absence would likely open up additional opportunities for tight ends Jimmy Graham and Cole Kmet as well.
