Ashton Jeanty News
Saturday, September 5, 7:01 AM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty suffered a sprained ankle in the preseason rather than a more serious injury that was feared and ESPN Insider Adam Schefter said he has a "legitimate chance to play in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins." However with the injury and the emergence of backup running back Mike Washington Jr. in camp there is real worry in selecting Jeanty in the late first round which was where he was projected prior to the injury. The good news is it was only a sprained ankle, the bad news is there could be more of a split in carries than originally thought with Washington. Washington has looked good in camp and is averaging 7.3 yards per carry in preseason games. General manager John Spytek has praised Washington this fall, "We have an expectation that he's going to help us win football games this year," Spytek told Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com.

Harold Fannin Jr. News
Saturday, August 29, 8:17 PM
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. faces minimal competition within his position group, setting him up for another big year in fantasy football. Fannin excelled as a rookie last year, despite dealing with inconsistent quarterback play and losing some volume to David Njoku. He finished his first pro season with 72 catches, 731 yards, and six touchdowns, ranking as the overall TE6 in PPR leagues. While subpar quarterback play likely awaits Fannin again in Year 2, he now has the tight end room all to himself after Njoku left in free agency. As a result, we can expect the Bowling Green product to rank as a mid-range TE1 once again this year. The only bad news is that his price tag has already adjusted to these 2026 expectations; he currently has an ADP of 80.6, which corresponds to the seventh round and makes him the eighth tight end off the board. You're not getting him at a discount, but you're not necessarily overpaying either. Fannin is being drafted ahead of George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and Dallas Goedert, so managers will have some difficult decisions to make at the tight end position in the middle rounds of drafts this year.
