Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see when Flowers will be able to return to practice. He is the main receiver for the Ravens and should see a good amount of targets each game. He will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Baltimore Ravens RBs Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Adam Randall are not playing during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 22. RB Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) is not playing because of an injury.
Huddle Up: Henry will receive most of the work at running back this season for the Ravens and will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues. Hill is on track to be the primary backup but will not be a starting option most weeks.
Huddle Up: Bateman may become available since Ja'Kobi Lane has been performing well during training camp, so fantasy players should see if the Texans will look to acquire him. He would probably be the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver if he joins the Texans but is unlikely to be a starting fantasy option most weeks.
Huddle Up: Brissett will be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals this season, so the team will probably hold him out of the final two preseason games. He posted solid numbers last season but should be considered a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane finished with three receptions on three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: Lane has drawn rave reviews throughout offseason activities and training camp, and he didn't disappoint in his first preseason action. At the very least, Lane has put himself in the conversation to be the No. 3 receiver in Baltimore, and it isn't out of the question that he surpasses Rashod Bateman in the pecking order. Lane should be snatched up in the later rounds.
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed all five of his pass attempts for 44 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
Huddle Up: Brissett is set to open the year as the starter, and he showed last season that he is capable of putting up decent numbers when given the opportunity. Don't be surprised if Brissett finishes as a serviceable QB2 with an occasional QB1 performance.
Huddle Up: Brissett had his contract situation resolved early in training camp, so he is on track to be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals in 2026. He can be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in some deeper leagues but will not be a starting option most weeks.
Huddle Up: Jackson's 2025 numbers were almost halved from his sublime 2024 season where he threw 41 touchdown passes, rushed for 915 yards, and added four scores on the ground. With just 349 rushing yards and 21 passing touchdowns last season, it's starting to feel like some of Jackson's overall upside from earlier in his career may be a thing of the past. We know Jackson is plenty mobile, but can he bring the passing efficiency along for the ride to help mitigate those losses on the ground? Jackson is a top-four fantasy quarterback this season, but for the first time, it seems like there are some warts coming up to the surface for Jackson as a fantasy asset.
Huddle Up: Flowers was the WR7 in PPR leagues after a 86-1,211-5 line last season. He has security with a new contract, and there's no reason he can't maintain his midrange WR1 status or even top it in 2026.
Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane has earned a role in the offense with his play in training camp, according to head coach Jesse Minter. "There is consistency of making really contested, nice catches and being a really friendly target for the quarterback," Minter said. "He's certainly starting to see a vision of maybe what he can become in the offense."
Huddle Up: Lane looks poised to open the year as Baltimore's No. 3 receiver, and if he continues to excel, he could certainly surpass Rashod Bateman in the pecking order. His ability to make contested catches could come in handy in the red zone, and while consistent production is not a guarantee with Lane, he is worth scooping up in the later rounds, especially in deeper leagues.
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman said he has been lining up at multiple positions during practices, and believes he can be more than a one-dimensional player in offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's system.
Huddle Up: Bateman did not have a lot of success last season but seems to be performing well during training camp. He should see a handful of targets each game this season but is unlikely to be a starting fantasy option most weeks.
Updating a previous report, Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers (quadriceps) is considered day-to-day because of a quadriceps contusion, according to head coach Jesse Minter.
Huddle Up: Flowers could miss a few practices but does not appear to be dealing with anything serious. He will see plenty of targets this season and will be a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.
Huddle Up: Flowers is looking to break more tackles with the added weight, but he should still have his speed to help with the yards after catch. He is the main target in the passing game for the Ravens and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues.
Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane has been the "star" of training camp, in the opinion of ESPN's Jamison Hensley, who writes that Lane has become the team's No. 3 receiver behind WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
Huddle Up: Outside of Flowers, the Ravens haven't had much success developing receivers, so if Lane continues to excel that could be a huge boost for Lamar Jackson and the offense in general. Fantasy owners needn't adjust their draft plans just yet -- don't forget that DeAndre Hopkins finished second among the Ravens' receivers in 2025 with 330 yards -- but given how effusive the praise has been for Lane, it's at least a name to file away.
Huddle Up: Flowers has emerged as the WR1 for the Ravens, and now he is being paid as one. Flowers finished as a WR1 in 2025, and all signs are pointing to him being able to repeat that for fantasy players.
Huddle Up: Henry will likely receive several days off during camp because he is a veteran and is unlikely to see much work during preseason games. He should receive plenty of carries again this season and can be at least a No. 2 running back in fantasy leagues.
Huddle Up: Bateman is coming off a disappointing season, but he still has a chance to enter the year as Baltimore's No. 2 receiver. If he remains a starter, he is worth grabbing in the later rounds in case he bounces back.
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett's deal is worth $15.5 million for one season, with upside to $21 million, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Sunday, July 26.
Huddle Up: Brissett, who will turn 34 in December, may have gone 1-11 as the Cardinals' starting quarterback in 2025, but he was very solid for fantasy football. With 3,366 passing yards and 23 touchdowns in 14 games, Brissett will get the chance to build off that in 2026 with the starting gig in Week 1. For fantasy, Brissett is a streaming fantasy QB with upside, but Arizona does figure to be among the worst teams in football, so touchdown scoring could be more scarce than last season.
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett did not take any snaps during the 11-on-11 portion of training camp practice Friday, July 24. However, he did some individual work and threw passes to WR Marvin Harrison Jr. after practice.
Huddle Up: Brissett's representatives are involved in negotiations with the Cardinals on a new contract that is expected to contain more guaranteed money than his current deal. The 33-year-old veteran will serve as Arizona's starting quarterback but should only be viewed as a QB2 option in fantasy leagues.
Huddle Up: Brissett is looking for a new contract but reported for camp since he will likely be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals in 2026. Fantasy players can keep an eye on his situation but should consider him a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.
Huddle Up: Brissett is working through a contract deal that is expected to get done, so fantasy players need not worry. What is worth worrying about is the Cardinals' offense, so he is not an ideal option for players in 2026.
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman is coming off a disappointing 2025 season, but general manager Eric DeCosta said he expects Bateman to have a productive season in 2026 and is excited to see him in offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's system.
Huddle Up: Bateman posted only 19 receptions and 224 yards last season, so he should be able to improve on those numbers this offseason. He can be a late round pick in fantasy leagues but is not a weekly starting option at this point.
Huddle Up: Age continues to be just a number for Henry, and in his two seasons in Baltimore, he has rushed for a combined 3,516 yards and scored 34 total touchdowns. A lack of receiving production limits his ceiling, especially in PPR formats, but he remains a must-start option who will provide plenty of RB1 weeks.
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett hosted a private workout with skill-position players including WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and TE Trey McBride. Brissett missed organized team activities due to a contract dispute.
Huddle Up: Brissett will be a QB2/matchup play no matter what. But his baseline will drastically affect McBride as a TE1 and Harrison as a WR2 or WR3 possibility.
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman may be pushed by WR Ja'Kobi Lane and WR Elijah Sarratt for playing time if he does not have a strong training camp, in the opinion of RavensWire's Glenn Erby.
Huddle Up: Bateman is likely the leading candidate for the No. 2 receiver job but is coming off a disappointing 2025 season. He should see a handful of targets each game this season but is unlikely to be a starting fantasy option most weeks.
