Jeremiyah Love Dealing with a High Ankle Sprain, Likely Done for Preseason

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is dealing with a high ankle sprain and is unlikely to play again this preseason, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The team is hopeful that he'll be ready for their season opener on Sept. 13, but it's too early to say for sure that he'll be available. Love initially suffered the ankle injury during Week 1 of the preseason when he handled a heavy workload, including 11 carries and three receptions. The Cardinals' backfield is suddenly a bit of a mess. Love and James Conner (ankle) are both injured, leaving their statuses for Week 1 up in the air. Offseason acquisition Tyler Allgeier is the Cardinals' only healthy running back, which means he could end up getting the start against the Chargers on Sept. 13. Regardless of whether Love suits up for the season opener, we're still quite encouraged about his upside as a rookie in fantasy football. He ranks as the RB15 in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings, and he's the RB4 in the latest dynasty rankings.

Kyle Monangai Expected to be Fine After Exiting Practice

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (knee) is expected to be "fine" despite exiting Sunday's practice with a knee injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Initial tests reportedly showed that Monangai's knee is structurally sound, but the team will do an MRI to confirm his status. We may see the Bears hold Monangai out of a few practices or a preseason game out of an abundance of caution, but it doesn't sound like he'll miss any time during the regular season. The 24-year-old is looking to build off an impressive rookie season during which he tallied 783 rushing yards, 164 receiving yards, and five touchdowns. He was the RB30 in PPR leagues despite operating behind D'Andre Swift last year. Swift remains in the backfield for 2026, but Monangai should be able to carve out a sizable role in Ben Johnson's offense, positioning him as a strong RB3/flex option once again this year.

Alec Pierce to Miss All of Training Camp

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (left ankle) will miss all of training camp as he continues to recover from left ankle surgery, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. The surgery occurred in April, and while the Colts remain confident that he'll be ready for the regular-season opener on Sept. 13, it would have been nice to see Pierce get some preseason reps beforehand. He's still at least a week away from handling a normal practice workload, which could potentially have an impact on the number of snaps he plays in Week 1. If Pierce isn't at 100 percent for the season opener, we'd expect to see Daniel Jones distribute more targets to Josh Downs, Ashton Dulin, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, as well as standout tight end Tyler Warren. As it stands, the newly extended Pierce ranks as the overall WR46 in RotoBaller's latest redraft fantasy football rankings.

George Kittle Says He's 'Pretty Close' in Achilles Rehab

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) gave another positive update on his recovery Sunday. While doing his on-field rehab, Kittle told Matt Barrows that he's "hitting numbers I need to hit" and is "pretty close." Kittle remains on the active/PUP list and hasn't returned to team practice yet after tearing his right Achilles during San Francisco's Wild Card win over the Philadelphia Eagles in January. He has been working off to the side throughout camp as he continues to build toward football activity. Kittle has made Week 1 his goal, although coming back that quickly from a January Achilles tear would be an aggressive timeline. The 32-year-old was still productive when healthy last season, catching 57 passes for 628 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games. There is still another step to take before Kittle is practicing with his teammates, but his latest comments suggest the rehab continues to move in the right direction.

Bills Not Worried About DJ Moore's Injury

Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady indicated that wide receiver DJ Moore (lower leg) is "good" following his injury scare during Saturday's preseason win over the Carolina Panthers, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Moore sustained a lower leg injury during his last catch in the first quarter of Saturday's preseason opener. According to Buscaglia, Moore will be further evaluated, but the Bills don't seem to be too worried. The 29-year-old looked impressive, finishing with three catches on four targets for 61 yards, averaging 20.3 yards per reception. Keon Coleman also picked up an injury on Saturday but is expected to be fine. Moore is set to be Buffalo's WR1 and star quarterback Josh Allen''s No. 1 target after Buffalo acquired him from the Bears during the offseason. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but it appears Moore avoided a severe injury.

Cyrus Allen Draws Team-High Targets on Saturday, Continues to See Fantasy Stock Soar

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Cyrus Allen caught two of his five targets for 20 yards during Saturday's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams. It wasn't the greatest statistical performance, but Allen's five targets led the entire Chiefs team, suggesting that he'll be able to carve out a significant role this season. Allen drew the start alongside Jalen Royals and Tyquan Thornton on Saturday, so it seems like those three receivers are competing for the No. 3 role behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. The rookie appears to have an early leg up on the competition, and while there are still two more preseason games to be played, Allen is a quick riser in dynasty fantasy football leagues. The fifth-round pick out of Cincinnati currently ranks as the WR86 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Jaxson Dart Heads to Medical Tent, Cleared to Return

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart briefly left Saturday's preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings after taking a big hit from safety Jay Ward. Connor Hughes reported that Dart was slow getting up after Tyrone Tracy Jr. missed the block, and the Giants' medical staff eventually pulled him from the game despite Dart initially trying to stay in. He was taken to the blue medical tent for an evaluation, but the scare didn't last long. Dart was cleared to return and came back onto the field on New York's next possession. He then connected with rookie Malachi Fields for a 15-yard touchdown pass. Dart dealt with several concussion evaluations during his rookie season, making any trip to the medical tent noteworthy. The good news Saturday is that he was quickly cleared and able to resume playing.

Nolan Arenado Likely To Undergo MRI For Torso Injury

Nolan Arenado left today's 5-3 Diamondbacks loss to the Braves with what the club described as left trunk discomfort.

Bryan Woo Pulled as a Precaution With Shoulder Soreness

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (shoulder) was pulled from Sunday's game against the division-rival Houston Astros after only 75 pitches because he was dealing with a little bit of soreness in his right shoulder, with manager Dan Wilson calling the early exit precautionary, per Shannon Drayer. Woo stayed in the contest long enough to earn his ninth win of the year, allowing two earned runs on three hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out five in six innings of work for a quality start as well. Because the Mariners don't seem too concerned about Woo's shoulder, fantasy managers should expect him to make his next start next weekend at home against the Chicago Cubs. After his quality start on Sunday evening on the road at Daikin Park in the 3-2 victory, Woo is now 9-8 in 2026 with a 4.10 ERA and 137 strikeouts in 138 1/3 innings pitched across his 24 starts. The former sixth-rounder in 2021 from Cal Poly gave up 10 earned runs in 10 innings in his final two starts in July, but he has now allowed just two earned runs in 18 innings over his last three starts against the Astros, Detroit Tigers, and New York Yankees.

Chase DeLauter Exits Early on Sunday With "Mild Hamstring Tightness"

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter (hamstring) exited Sunday's series finale against the visiting San Diego Padres early with "mild left-hamstring tightness," according to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. DeLauter was removed in the third inning after going hitless in his lone plate appearance. He was replaced in right field by Angel Martinez. The 24-year-old left-handed slugger will have a scheduled day off on Monday, with his next chance to return to Cleveland's starting lineup coming in Tuesday's series opener at home against the San Francisco Giants. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. DeLauter came into Sunday's tilt against the Padres with a strong .286/.358/.443 slash line with an .801 OPS, 13 home runs, 57 RBI, 49 runs scored, and nine stolen bases across his 106 games and 452 plate appearances in his first year in the big leagues. It would be a shame for him to miss time the way he's been hitting, as he went 19-for-55 (.345) with a .919 OPS, two home runs, two doubles, six RBI, 11 runs scored, and three steals in 13 games in August going into Sunday's shutout loss to the Friars.
