Browns listed rookie RB Quinshon Judkins as a full participant in today’s practice.

Related Players: Dylan Sampson, Jerome Ford

It still hasn't been verified whether the second-round rookie will actually be taking the field here in Week 2, so the backfield's fantasy value is still very much in the air. After Sampson's eight-catch performance during the opening weekend, he should shoot up into high-end RB3 territory without Judkins, but becomes slightly less valuable if he's splitting with both his fellow rookie and Jerome Ford.

49ers officially are signing veteran kicker Eddy Pineiro to their active roster on a one-year deal, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey.

The Niners worked out Pineiro and he's now the official replacement for Moody. Pineiro could be on the fantasy radar this season assuming he sticks with the team. San Francisco is banged up at the moment, but could be a high-scoring team once they get back to full strength.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared on Monday’s injury report with a right wrist issue, but there’s no concern about his availability for Thursday’s game against the Packers.

Head coach Dan Quinn said at his Tuesday press conference that the team has “zero concerns” about Daniels’ health.

The story went on to say Quinn explained that listing Daniels as a full participant on the estimated practice report was simply about transparency, and that the rookie is on track to play without restrictions. Daniels played every snap in the Week 1 win over the Giants, going 19-of-30 for 233 yards and a touchdown while adding 68 rushing yards on 11 carries.

Moody had a rough 2024 season and many speculated he wouldn't even get a chance in 2025. In Week 1 he missed a kick and had another blocked and the Niners have seen enough. They will make a move for another kicker this week ahead of Week 2.

The Commanders added quarterback Jayden Daniels to their injury report Monday. They list Daniels with a right wrist injury.

The Commanders didn’t practice, but they estimate Daniels would have been a full participant.

Daniels played all 70 snaps on Sunday and showed no sign of injury. He went 19-of-30 for 233 yards and a touchdown and ran for 68 yards on 11 carries in the 21-6 win over the Giants. It seems to be a non-issue, but because it's right wrist, owners may want to take notice. The Commanders play the Packers on Thursday night.

Second-round pick Quinshon Judkins will be back at practice this week for the Browns after signing his rookie contract Sept. 6. Whether or not the running back will be able to play in Cleveland's next game at the Baltimore Ravens is something yet to be determined.

"We'll see," Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said on a Zoom call Sept. 8, a day after the season-opening 17-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. "Gotta get through the week of practice. But I don't know."

The story said the league is investigating the domestic violence arrest in July — which the Broward County State Attorney's Office elected to not pursue charges on in August — and that will include an interview with Judkins at some point this week. The story added the last time Judkins went through workouts with the Browns was June, so he will need to get to the point where he is capable of contributing. This will be worth monitoring as the week goes on. Sampson, Ford and Sanders all saw work in Week 1, with Sampson collecting eight catches while Sanders scored a touchdown.

The Commanders listed Austin Ekeler as the team's RB1.

The most surprising part of this is the team listed Croskey-Merritt as the team's RB4, which maybe shows just how much, or little, these depth charts mean. McNichols was the RB2 with Rodriguez the RB3. Ekeler probably isn't going to be asked to carry a full workload at the age of 30, not to mention his recent injury history. JCM owners shouldn't panic just yet, but you may want to think about other options for your lineup until we see just how this plays out.

Titans' first regular season unofficial depth chart for offense, which includes rookie WR Elic Ayomanor ahead of vet Van Jefferson.

Those in dynasty leagues should be familiar with Ayomanor who was on the radar as a later-round sleeper this past spring in dynasty drafts. It looks like Ayomanor is the team's third WR behind Ridley and Lockett. Perhaps the bigger question will be how QB Ward plays this season, but Ayomanor can officially be on the fantasy radar even in typical leagues.

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com believes Quinshon Judkins will return to the team soon.

"I believe Judkins will be back with the Browns soon, possibly even sometime this week as they prepare for the Bengals."

Judkins, of course, was dealing with domestic violence and battery charges that were eventually dropped, but the NFL is still weighing potential punishment. Kabot even said if he makes it back early enough, he could contribute some in the opener. It's hard to imagine Judkins would get a heavy workload, but his return for fantasy is at least good news for owners who took a chance on him. It does muddy the waters with Sampson and Ford also in the picture in the backfield, but given Judkins draft capital, one would think he'd be poised to lead the way in the backfield once he's up to speed.

The Jags acquired Tim Patrick in a trade with the Detroit Lions, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday morning, per a source informed of the deal.

The 31-year-old receiver, who missed all of 2022 and 2023 due to ACL and Achilles' injuries, respectively, played 16 games in Detroit last season, corralling 33 passes for 394 yards and three touchdowns.

Related Players: Dyami Brown, Isaac TeSlaa

This likely impacts TeSlaa more than anyone else, who has shot up the depth chart since being selected in the third round of this year's Draft. He's probably not going to make much of a fantasy impact as a week-to-week starter, but he has been an interesting last-round dart throw in best ball stacks.
