Broncos WR Courtland Sutton is “being limited as part of the team’s ‘protocols’ for the veteran wide receiver.” (Source: Nick Kosmider)

Fantasy Impact: It explains why Sutton was not seen practicing on Tuesday or Wednesday. He returned to practice on Thursday, but he was still held out of team drills. He should continue to be ramped up as we get closer to the season.

Jahmyr Gibbs has agreed to 3-year, $67.5 million deal with Lions that could be worth up to $75.75 million. Gibbs is now the NFL’s highest paid running back. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)

Fantasy Impact: Gibbs has done everything he needs to to earn this money. He’s a premier running back in the NFL, in the argument for the best. Now with David Montgomery gone, we will see how well he can shoulder a workhorse role, and fantasy managers are rightly expecting big things.

The Bengals starters will play in their preseason opener against the Lions. (Source: Around the NFL on Twitter)

Josh Jacobs did not practice on Thursday due to a groin injury, but it is not believed to be a long-term concern. (Source: Rob Demovsky on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: MarShawn Lloyd is getting more reps with the first-team offense on Thursday as a result. Jacobs won't be rushed back, but it doesn't appear to be a concern.

De’Zhaun Stribling is back at practice on Thursday after missing multiple days due to a hamstring injury. Some good news for Niners fans. (Source: Niners Wire on X)

Fantasy Impact: Stribling will need all the reps he can get as a rookie to warm up before the season begins. He’s likely going to be behind Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel during his first season, but he should still see work as the WR3 of the offense with the potential for more should one of the other two go down to injury.

Elic Ayomanor left Thursday's practice early with a shoulder injury. (Source: Around the NFL on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Titans coach Robert Saleh added that Ayomanor is being evaluated. There should be an update on his status on Friday.

Jalen McMillan is without a timetable to return after suffering a knee injury this week, per HC Todd Bowles. (Source: Pewter Report on X)

Fantasy Impact: This certainly isn’t great news for the young receiver, who was looking to have a bounce back season after suffering a neck injury last year. Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, and likely Ted Hurst will be the primary receivers while McMillan is out.

Jonathan Taylor has agreed to a two-year, $44 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts that could be worth up to $47 million. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)

Fantasy Impact: The 27 year old is coming off of back-to-back 1,400 yard rushing seasons with at least 11 rushing touchdowns in each, including a ridiculous 18 rushing touchdowns in 2025. Taylor should be viewed as a top tier running back in 2026, and his deal secures his dynasty value for the next several seasons.
