Travis Benjamin’s role could expand with Josh Gordon suspended. As minicamp closed, the 5-10, 175-pound Benjamin, 23, received praise from quarterback Brandon Weeden.

“Travis had at least as many catches if not more than anybody in camp,” Weeden said. “His route running is phenomenal, probably because he’s so fast. Guys have to honor him running by them. He’s been getting in and out of breaks so well. Whether it’s in-breaking routes or out-breaking routes, he’s really found a knack of getting separation and giving me a chance to complete some balls. He’s had a lot of catches this camp. He’s stuck out.”

Dalton Schultz cleared; Tank Dell questionable for potential return

Texans

yesterday · 6:26 PM EDT

Dalton Schultz practiced fully Friday and has no injury designation against the Giants. Tank Dell is questionable after three full practices and still needs to be activated from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

Schultz is available as a TE2 or bye-week streamer, while Moreau and Jordan lose their potential injury-replacement appeal. Dell is better treated as a stash than an immediate start if activated. His return would add competition for Noel, Harrison, and Houston’s depth receivers; Collins remains the clear starting option.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears questionable after limited practice Friday

Titans

yesterday · 6:25 PM EDT

Tyjae Spears is questionable against Cleveland with a knee injury. He was limited Friday after practicing fully Thursday.

Related Players: Tony Pollard, Julius Chestnut, Cam Ward

Fantasy Impact:

If Spears misses Sunday, Pollard would become a stronger RB2 with a chance to add receiving work to his rushing workload. Spears would be a risky FLEX even if active. Chestnut could pick up some reserve work, but fantasy managers should generally be able to find a better waiver-wire option.

DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Dallas Goedert miss practice again Friday

Eagles

yesterday · 6:23 PM EDT

DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks and Dallas Goedert did not practice Friday, their second consecutive absences this week. Philadelphia holds its final practice Saturday before facing Dallas on Monday night.

Fantasy Impact:

Managers relying on any of the three should secure a Monday replacement before Sunday’s games begin. If Smith and Wicks sit, Brown would have a path to WR3 value, with Lemon entering the deeper FLEX conversation. Cooper and Moore would be more speculative plays. Goedert’s absence would create opportunity at tight end, but Calcaterra and Stowers still need activation from injured reserve; Mundt should not be treated as an automatic streaming answer.
