The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the process of signing former Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale on Wednesday after the special teams ace met with the Raiders earlier this week. Even in a Jacksonville backfield that no longer features Leonard Fournette, Ogunbowale, who is more of a pass-catching back, could struggle to carve out a role. The Jags also have rookie James Robinson and Devine Ozigbo

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Colts. Ozigbo performed well in training camp and was in line for some early down carries to begin the year after the team released Leonard Fournette, but he’s not a lock to suit up in the season opener. Rookie James Robinson has gained steam in this backfield, along

New York Jets rookie running back La’Mical Perine (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Bills. Perine recently suffered a low-ankle sprain, but he’s not expected to be out for long. That doesn’t mean he’ll necessarily be active for the season opener this Sunday, though, and he’s third on the RB depth chart behind Le’Veon Bell and veteran Frank Gore.

New York Jets wide receivers Breshad Perriman (knee), Jamison Crowder (hamstring) and rookie Denzel Mims (hamstring) all practiced in full on Wednesday. All three players should be able to suit up in the Week 1 season opener on the road against the Bills. Perriman will be the team’s de facto No. 1 receiver with Robby Anderson gone, but he’s one to shy away from in

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) and rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Sanders is considered day-to-day for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team, but it’s a positive that he returned to practice at all. There’s a chance that Philly could manage Sanders’ workload early in the year, making him more of a low-end RB1/high-end RB2

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Dolphins. Edelman somehow usually finds his way onto the injury report but usually plays, so we’d expect him to be active for the season opener this Sunday. Miami upgraded their secondary in the offseason, but Edelman should still be peppered with targets

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) was a full practice participant on Wednesday after being limited recently with a hamstring issue. Fantasy managers never want a player to enter the season injured, but it looks like Cooper will suit up on Sunday for Week 1. The team’s No. 1 wideout is more of a No. 2 for fantasy with rookie CeeDee Lamb now in

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (quadriceps) is officially questionable for the Week 1 Thursday night game against the Chiefs. Cooks returned to a limited practice for the walkthrough on Wednesday. It’s nothing new for Cooks, as he’s had a history with injuries, particularly concussions. A speedy wideout with a lower-body injury is a big risk to start the season. He’ll be a boom/bust WR3/flex

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Deebo Samuel (foot) and Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) and cornerback Jason Verrett (hamstring) all missed practice on Wednesday. Samuel was activated from the Non-Football Injury list over the weekend, but he’s no lock to play in Week 1 against Arizona. The same rings true for the rookie Aiyuk. With both receivers hurt, Kendrick Bourne and Dante Pettis figure to have much

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner was activated from the COVID-19 list on Wednesday. It looks as though the Niners defense will have Warner on hand for their Week 1 matchup on Sunday against the Cardinals. San Fran could look to ease the 23-year-old into action against Arizona’s up-tempo offense, but those in IDP leagues should at least have the option to use Warner as

Tennessee Titans linebacker Vic Beasley returned to practice on Wednesday after he was activated to the 53-man roster on Saturday from the Non-Football Injury list. Beasley missed 10 unexcused days of training camp and also failed his initial physical with the team. The Titans Defense was already on the radar as a potential fantasy streamer, and the recent addition of Pro Bowl defensive end Jadeveon

Las Vegas Raiders running back Jalen Richard will open the 2020 regular season as the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, and he’s also in line to return punts on special teams. Richard’s third-down pass-catching role came into clearer focus when the team traded rookie Lynn Bowden Jr. to the Dolphins. Jacobs is expected to have a much bigger role in the passing game in his

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was in charge of an offense that scored 26 points per game back in 2016 when the team went 12-4, but other than that season, he has had trouble getting the ball into the end zone. Carr had a 70.4 percent completion rate and career-highs in yardage (4,054) and yards per attempt (8.0) in 2019, but the Raiders still

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow was one of the most productive rookie receivers last year despite missing three games with an injury. The former Clemson star was one of just four rookie pass-catchers since 2014 to be drafted outside of the top 100 and reach 600 or more receiving yards. But with added targets in the passing game — rookies Henry Ruggs III

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Bryan Edwards is listed as a starter on the team’s depth chart heading into Week 1 against the Panthers. He’ll line up alongside fellow rookie Henry Ruggs III and Hunter Renfrow. An opportunity for Edwards opened up when Tyrell Williams (shoulder) was placed on Injured Reserve, so the 21-year-old is worth a waiver pickup early on if you’re in

Las Vegas Raiders rookie first-round wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is set to be matched up against Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson in Week 1 on Sunday. Ruggs is one of the fastest players in the NFL at his position (4.27-second 40-yard dash), but Jackson ran an impressive 4.32-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. It should be a track meet on Sunday in what will

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller is looking to become more of a household name at the position after breaking out in 2019 as he continues to stay sober after addiction issues earlier in his career. Waller had 90 catches for 1,145 yards, three touchdowns and a Pro Bowl nod last year. He’s been sober for three years after being addicted to opiates and

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (glute) could have intriguing value for Week 1 against the New England Patriots. He was limited during Wednesday’s practice, but is expected to be out there on Sunday. Gesicki is expected to see a heavy workload in the slot this season. He’s a prime breakout candidate, but has a tough opponent to begin the season. Fantasy owners should consider

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is lined up to have a big start to his 2020 season. Thomas faces the Buccaneers, who he has enjoyed success against in his career. The All-Pro wideout has averaged just over 11 targets per game in seven career contests against Tampa Bay, including two 100-yard games with touchdowns in last year’s showdowns. It should be noted that

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (knee) was limited during Wednesday’s practice. Williams, DeVante Parker (hamstring), and Mike Gesicki (glute) are all banged up, but expected to play on Sunday. However, the New England Patriots allowed the second fewest amount of fantasy points to receivers last season. Williams admitted earlier this week that he still isn’t 100 percent healthy after tearing his ACL last season.
