Indianapolis Colts wide receiver D.J. Montgomery reeled in two of his four targets for 45 yards in the team's loss on Sunday, leading all Colts' pass-catchers. Montgomery saw increased playing time as the Colts' starters and second-stringers played sparingly in the first half, allowing some players deeper on the depth chart to get some reps. Montgomery will continue to fight for a spot on the 53-man roster and is off the radar from a fantasy perspective.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (ankle) limped off the practice field on Sunday and the team thought it was a minor ankle sprain at the time. According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, it looks like the mild ankle sprain has been confirmed and Nabers seems to be considered day-to-day. The Giants are likely to play it safe with their prized first-round pick, so fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for updates as the week progresses. Starting quarterback Daniel Jones is expected to play in the team's next preseason contest, so getting Nabers some reps with Jones is the ideal situation. We'll have to wait on some more official updates as the game gets closer.

Atlanta Falcons safety DeMarcco Hellams (ankle) suffered an ankle injury which is going to cause him to miss a significant amount of time. Head coach Raheem Morris was the one to deliver that news while speaking with the media, but the second-year safety has not landed on the IR just yet. Hellams was a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and was listed as the backup strong safety in the unofficial depth chart behind Richie Grant. Lukas Denis is the next one up to get some playing time with the backups as training camp rolls along.

Indianapolis Colts running back Evan Hull carried the ball eight times for 16 yards and a touchdown in the team's loss to the Denver Broncos. Hull also reeled in his only target for an additional 15 yards through the air. Hull led all of Indy's running backs in touches, seeing one more carry than Tyler Goodson. Hull is currently listed as the RB4 on the team's depth chart, and with an injury to Trey Sermon, he will try to climb further up the depth chart to potentially land the RB2 role in the offense. Unless he finds himself in the mix for the RB2 role behind Jonathan Taylor, Hull will be off the fantasy radar in 2024.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger completed five of his six passes for 80 yards in the team's loss, his only incompletion resulting in an interception. The Colts played five quarterbacks in Sunday's contest, with Ehlinger playing behind Richardson and Flacco, solidifying his spot as the QB3 in this offense. The former Longhorn will compete with Kedon Slovis and Jason Bean for the role, and all three will be off the fantasy radar heading into the 2024 season.

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson ran the ball seven times for 15 yards and scored a touchdown in the team's preseason loss against the Denver Broncos. Goodson also caught both of his targets for just one extra yard through the air. Goodson was featured early in the game, seeing touches directly after the Colts' starters played the opening drive. With Trey Sermon suffering an injury in today's game. Goodson will continue to compete for the RB2 role, as he's currently slated to be the RB3 in Indy's offense. Depending on the severity of Sermon's injury, Goodson could have some fantasy relevancy as Jonathan Taylor's handcuff but would be largely off the radar otherwise.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson completed two of his four passes for 25 yards in the team's loss to the Denver Broncos. He also ran the ball once for an additional yard on the ground. Richardson and most of the Colts' offensive starters played just the first two drives in today's matchup before being taken out. With his strong arm, rushing upside, and sound offensive scheme, Richardson is a high-end QB1 in fantasy for 2024.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey picked up where he left off last season in the first Cowboys preseason game, kicking four field goals in five tries. Aubrey's made kicks came from 30, 36, 38, and 52 yards out, while his miss was from 65. Aubrey was the top scoring kicker in most fantasy formats last season, and even in fantasy football's most volatile position, there's no reason to think he won't be at least top-five again this year.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Brooks made a big catch in Sunday's preseason game loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Brooks was targeted twice, making both catches for 49 yards. One of his catches was the biggest play of the game for Dallas, a 43-yard completion tossed from quarterback Cooper Rush. Brooks played in seven games last season, making six catches on six targets, mostly playing on special teams. He's coming into the season fourth at best on the wide receiver depth chart, but has some upside possible for patient fantasy managers/

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (ankle) said he expects to be on the field when the team resumes practice on Tuesday, Aug. 13.

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis led the Cowboys backfield in carries and yards in a preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. Davis ran the ball eight times, gaining 18 yards, with a long of just four. The rest of the Cowboys backfield combined for just nine carries, so Davis had his chances in this one, but didn't do a ton with them. He was also targeted five times in the passing game, catching two passes for 20 yards. The second-year running back will be third at best on the depth chart, well behind Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle, and likely behind Royce Freeman as well.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) expects to practice when the team returns to the field on Tuesday, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. The veteran quarterback clarified that his ankle is "fine" even though soreness held him out of Dallas' preseason opener. Given that Prescott will practice on Tuesday, fantasy managers can let out a sigh of relief knowing that the Dallas quarterback avoided a serious injury. He remains on track to start for Dallas in Week 1, ranking as a low-end QB1 option in most redraft leagues.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler (thigh) missed practice on Sunday, according to NFL insider Nick Underhill. The rookie signal-caller reportedly suffered a slight thigh bruise, but he received treatment on Sunday and is expected to return for the Saints' next practice. One would have to imagine that Rattler suffered the injury during the Saints' preseason game on Saturday. The fact that he expects to return for the team's next practice is a good sign given that he's locked into a serious competition with Jake Haener for the backup quarterback role. Rattler and Haener will continue to showcase themselves through the remainder of training camp and the preseason.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance played most of the Cowboys preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. Lance attempted 41 passes, completing 25 of them for 188 yards. He did not throw a touchdown but also did not turn the ball over. He did take three sacks, losing 16 yards. On the ground, he rushed six times for 44 yards, including a long of 19. Lance wasn't particularly impressive in this one, but he will continue to battle with Cooper Rush for the Cowboys backup job behind starter Dak Prescott.

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (quad) returned to practice on Sunday following a multi-week absence, according to a video from Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. Acquired from the Cincinnati Bengals during the offseason, Mixon now appears to be 100 percent and on track to lead the Houston backfield when the NFL season kicks off in a few weeks. Dameon Pierce may push to earn some touches in 2024, but Mixon, who tallied 1,410 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns last year, is their lead back and should be valued accordingly. He's a fringe top-12 running back in redraft fantasy football leagues.

Baltimore Ravens running back Rasheen Ali (undisclosed) sustained a stinger partway through Friday's preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun. As a result, he was absent from practice on Sunday. Ali rushed a whopping 10 times in the contest but was held to just 26 yards on the ground. He should make the 53-man roster with Keaton Mitchell (knee) on the PUP list, but he'll need a strong camp and start to the season in order to gain a firm hold on his role within the Ravens' offense. For the time being, he fills a depth spot and can be avoided in most redraft leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce expects to name his starting quarterback for Week 1 after the conclusion of next Saturday's preseason contest against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. The competition is between incumbent starter Aidan O'Connell and free agent acquisition Gardner Minshew II, and it's possible that Pierce won't make up his mind on a starter until each quarterback plays at least one quarter next weekend. The Raiders aren't expected to have a terrific offense this year, but both O'Connell and Minshew have previously shown that they're capable of supporting fantasy-relevant production from their playmakers.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Miller Forristall hauled in three passes for 20 yards and a touchdown on three targets in Sunday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. He caught the game-winning TD pass from Stetson Bennett late in the game as the Rams won 13-12. Forristall, a 26-year-old Alabama product, was the leading Rams tight end in the preseason contest on Sunday. As Tyler Higbee works back from a torn ACL, Forristall is behind Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen on the current unofficial depth chart. This performance should help him but he still has work to do to earn regular season reps.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington caught six passes for 74 yards on nine targets to lead Rams pass catchers in Sunday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. Whittington averaged 12.3 yards per reception and caught a long pass of 30 yards in the contest. A sixth-round pick out of Texas, Whittington was impressive in his debut for Los Angeles. After the game, Rams head coach Sean McVay said of Whittington: "He's going to be a factor for us". This is a name to monitor in the preseason for the Rams offense.

Los Angeles Rams running back Boston Scott earned the start in Sunday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. Scott carried 15 times for 68 yards as he led the Rams' backfield in touches. He also caught all three of his targets for 10 receiving yards. Scott will be working behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum most likely this season but got some nice run in the preseason game. He can be an effective producer when given touches but those could be hard to come by this season with the talented running-back duo ahead of him on the depth chart.
