Everyone loves Tucker Kraft (seriously, everyone) Still worth noting he had a 19% TPRR on a 4 ADOT last year. That's Brenton Strange / Jake Ferguson esque usage Him being a top-half TE1 is based entirely on his elite YAC (best among TEs 3 straight years) maintaining off the ACL [Retweeted](

I agree with the general sentiment on Zach Charbonnet. Week 1 still feels like an aggressive target. I’m still out in redraft at cost, but I remain interested in best ball where his upside could matter most during the fantasy playoffs. [Quoted](

Tucker Kraft expected back Week 1 Was the TE2 before his ACL tea ….But he averaged only 23.9 routes per game. For comparison, last season’s leaders: Trey McBride: 40.2 Brock Bowers: 32.2 Kyle Pitts: 30.4 That’s exciting, but it also creates a fragile projection if his efficiency declines after ACL reconstruction.

Tucker Kraft (knee) is coming off PUP list and will practice Friday. [Retweeted](

While it’s fun to punch down at Deshaun Stribling enthusiasts here is Deebo Samuel’s injury history since 2019 Groin strain Shoulder injury Jones fracture Hamstring strain Groin strain Calf strain High ankle sprain Hamstring strain Scapula fracture Rib injury Calf strain Wrist injury Oblique strain Heel contusion

Chris Brazzell will unfortunately undergo season-ending surgery. The original reports never quite added up. The mention of a “tear” and an “8-week recovery” didn’t seem consistent. [Quoted](

Given all of this. I would not be drafting Pearsall in 2026 unless we get new information [Quoted](

Lowest yards per rush attempt post ACL Data from 2009- Jamal Charles (2015) - 3.3 Nick Chubb - 3.3 Rashard Mendenhall - 3.2 Rashaad Penny - 3.1 Jonathon Brooks - 2.4 And before you @​ me with “bRoOks OnLy HaD 9 aTtEmPts” Yes I know Rage on

The best part about backing Malik Nabers all summer was that it was actually fun.

I knew I should’ve trusted my gut on this one with Ricky Pearsall after seeing some of the off-season workout videos. Just didn’t look fully right in his routes. Count this in the Dalton Kincaid-esque concern from last year (but worse). [Retweeted](

Bucky Irving says he has no restraints with his shoulder and is “good to go”. He’s back 🔥 [Retweeted](

Ricky Pearsall - knee/PCL Dealing with small samples here but of fantasy relevant players that had a PCL sprain and no (presumed surgery): 44% had another knee/hamstring injury the next season Avg 3.3 games missed *Sample = 9 players since 2017* [Quoted](

Jordan James - rib At minimum he likely misses 2-3 weeks but rarely do players miss more than 5 weeks. Plenty of time to get back prior to Week 1 [Quoted](

Confirmed LCL injury for Chris Brazzell. The report says it’s a tear. If that’s accurate, it’s likely season-ending. If it’s a sprain instead, a return in roughly 8-12 weeks is possible. [Quoted](

Unsure if Pearsall suffered a setback but a recent example of a preseason PCL sprain Puka Nacua in ‘24 Missed 9 weeks total + setback Started 41% of Rams snaps Finished with a 69% snap share That’d be a difficult clip for Pearsall to produce even in a Shanahan scheme [Quoted](

Everyone wants to talk about Kenny Gainwell. I want to talk about Bucky Irving. What if Gainwell is a Rodgers dump off merchant? Irving is healthy and I think we see that RB1 ceiling again in 2027.

I’ve been drafting Penix as if he’ll be the QB who starts most of the games in Atlanta but figured he’d likely be unavailable to start the season given his injury history. [Quoted](

Sounds like a non-contact injury for Chris Brazzell where he grabbed his knee [Quoted](

Unfortunately, Zach Charbonnet is about to get too expensive for me. ADP rising 📈 <https://www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/football/player-news/2026-07-28/breer-charbonnet-could-be-close-call-for-week-1>

Everything I’ve heard and read regarding Jonathon Brooks has caught my attention where I’m interested in seasonal leagues. From an injury and process perspective I’m less interested in dynasty because I think there’s still a lot of risk [Quoted](

I expected pre-injury fantasy points to be the best predictor of RB production after ACL reconstruction. I was wrong. Career-best target share had the strongest relationship (r = 0.78). Does this mean I’m drafting Zach Charbonnet in fantasy?

Initial read on Marvin Harrison Jr. It sounds more like a low ankle sprain than anything serious. Obviously we’ll wait for more information, but I’d be surprised if he misses significant time. <https://www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/football/player-news/2026-07-26/marv-meets-with-trainers-sits-out-red-zone-drills>

I did not have a Tucker Kraft starting training camp on PUP on my bingo card. I still however think he’s activated well before the August 30th deadline

Alec Pierce’s injury timeline is still a bit confusing. You’d hope the Colts had a clear recovery plan before extension. Pierce said in June he *hoped* to return late in training camp. I still think Week 1 is in play.

Great news for Daniel Jones We’ve got recent examples of QB returning post Achilles relatively quickly with Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Couins, but there's evidence both struggled to consistently push the ball downfield in their first season back (albeit both older). 23% of Jones' fantasy points over the past two seasons has come from rushing so you can really pick holes in his fantasy profile, but this is good news for Tyler Warren and company [Quoted](

Daniel Jones on Tyler Warren: "Tyler Warren is a tremendous player and he's an absolute stud.. He's a massive part of our offense.” (@​PatMcAfeeShow) [Retweeted](

Christian Kirk - calf strain Calf strains in NFL WRs usually carry a 2 week absence but I’d expect longer due to preseason injury and no need to rush with return to play. Moderate re-injury risk within the same season: 17% [Quoted](

I expect Tucker Kraft to be available for Week 1. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be the same player. There’s an important difference between: Returning to play Returning to pre-injury efficiency Kraft’s 2025 breakout was driven by elite efficiency.
