The Tennessee Titans placed quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, ending his season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It was announced on Monday that Levis would undergo season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder on July 29. The 26-year-old has decided to have the surgery to ensure his long-term health based on medical opinions, and he should be ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. The problem for Levis is that he didn't look good when given the starting job in 2024, and then the Titans selected Cam Ward with the first overall pick this April. If Ward handles himself well and stays healthy in his first NFL season, Levis will be returning in 2026 and strictly a backup without a chance to regain a starting gig. The surgery also confirms what we already knew: That Ward is the team's starter in 2025.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has picked up where he left off in 2024 in the first day of training camp practice on Wednesday, per Eliot Shorr-Parks. Shorr-Parks writes that Hurts didn't do anything flashy but just showed good overall QB play. He took care of the ball and was never really in harms way while going 14-for-15 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions. Hurts had 26 reps on the day, with Shorr-Parks giving him a B grade. The 26-year-old's best pass of the day was down the sideline to receiver A.J. Brown for a pickup of around 20 yards. Even though Hurts isn't the most accurate or prolific passer, he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 3 fantasy QB because of his rushing prowess. In the last four seasons over 62 regular-season games, Hurts has 52 rushing touchdowns. It gives him an extremely high fantasy ceiling.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden kicked off training camp as the two starters in two-WR sets, according to team reporter Weston Hodkiewicz. While Day 1 training-camp usage should be taken with a grain of salt, this could signal that Jayden Reed will continue to be primarily utilized in three-WR sets. Reed has provided boom weeks for fantasy managers through the first two seasons of his career despite ranking outside the top 70 wide receivers in snap share. It comes as no surprise that Golden, a rookie first-round pick out of Texas, is running with the first team offense, and the team could be hoping he develops into the clear No. 1 wide receiver for Jordan Love. Ultimately, Reed will remain on the fantasy football radar, but his ceiling is limited if Green Bay continues to be unwilling to play him as a full-time receiver.

Green Bay Packers fourth-year veteran Bo Melton is officially switching from wide receiver to cornerback, according to NFL.com. The 2022 seventh-round pick out of Rutgers was originally selected by the Seattle Seahawks but signed with Green Bay after being released following training camp. He did not appear in a game during his rookie season, but he has tallied 24 receptions for 309 yards and one touchdown over the last two seasons (22 games). Now at cornerback, he will likely have a tough time earning snaps, but crazier things have happened. Based on these developments, it's safe to drop him in the deepest of dynasty fantasy football leagues

Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Walter Nolen (calf) is set to miss time after suffering a calf injury while training, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. Nolen was the team's first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It's an unfortunate development for the rookie, who is slated to miss out on the first opportunity to prove himself in training camp. Nolen began his college career at Texas A&M before transferring to Ole Miss for his final season in 2024. In 35 career games, he tallied 114 tackles (62 solo), 11.5 sacks, 26 tackles for loss, four pass deflections, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. He is expected to be a Day 1 starter and disruptor on the Arizona defensive line, but Calais Campbell, PJ Mustipher, Bilal Nichols, Elijah Simmons, and Jordan Burch could see more action with the first- and second-team defenses during his absence.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee), who suffered a torn ACL near the end of last season, is recovering well, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst. Gutekunst said his rehab is going "great," and the former North Dakota State speedster did a test run earlier in the week. "It's an ACL, so we're going to take our time with him," Gutekunst said. "But he's pressing to get out there." Watson has missed 13 games through the first three seasons of his pro career since being selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Overall, he has hauled in 98 of his 172 targets for 1,653 yards and 14 touchdowns. It's a positive sign that he is recovering quickly, but his fantasy prospects are tough to believe in based on what we've seen thus far and the addition of Texas wideout Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing (hamstring) suffered a pulled hamstring during Wednesday's training camp practice, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The second-year wideout out of Arizona had a strong spring and is looking to earn a role in 2025, so this is obviously a tough development. However, it is unclear how much practice time Cowing will be forced to sit out, so fantasy managers in deep leagues should monitor the situation. The 2024 fourth-round pick was limited to just four receptions for 80 yards last season in 15 games, but he is a candidate to fill a "gadget" role left behind by Deebo Samuel Sr., who was traded to the Washington Commanders this offseason. With Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) sidelined to begin camp, depth is becoming a concern for the San Fran WR room.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings is participating in Wednesday's training camp practice and is leading the team's wide receivers in drills, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic. Recent reports suggested Jennings wants a new contract and requested a trade, making him a hold-in candidate, but that appears not to be the case. With Ricky Pearsall (hamstring), Brandon Aiyuk (knee), and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) all dealing with injuries, and Deebo Samuel Sr. now in Washington, Jennings has the chance to establish himself as the clear WR1 in the Bay. The former seventh-round pick out of Tennessee set career highs in receptions (77), receiving yards (975), and touchdowns (six) last season in 15 games and could be a 1,000-yard receiver in 2025. Despite the offseason rumors surrounding Jennings, he is a potential steal at his WR40 cost in preseason drafts.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) was a full participant on Day 1 of training camp. According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Diggs is not feeling any limitations from the ACL tear he suffered last October. He continues to progress in his recovery from his torn ACL and is on target to suit up Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran joins a Patriots offense desperate for playmakers after finishing last in passing yards (2,995) in 2024. Before the injury, Diggs had recorded six straight 1,000-yard seasons and is expected to lead New England's receiving corps. He'll line up alongside returning contributors Hunter Henry, DeMario Douglas, and third-round rookie Kyle Williams as the Patriots aim to surround quarterback Drake Maye with enough firepower to accelerate his development. Diggs' health will be crucial to any offensive resurgence in New England.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix spent time learning from future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees this offseason, according to head coach Sean Payton. Brees spent 15 seasons with Payton during their time with the New Orleans Saints, leading the NFL in passing seven times, collecting five All-Pro honors, and winning Super Bowl XLIV. Needless to say, Brees could be a valuable mentor for Nix, who is heading into his second NFL season after a fantastic first year in Denver by way of the University of Oregon. Nix started in all 17 of the Broncos' games last year, passing for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He led the organization to its first playoff appearance since Peyton Manning led the team to a Super Bowl 50 victory. Nix has plenty of fantasy football upside thanks to his rushing skill set, and becoming a more polished passer could put him on track to be a consistent fantasy football QB1.

Miami Dolphins cornerback Artie Burns (knee) suffered a knee injury during Wednesday's training camp practice that is feared to be a torn ACL. The 30-year-old will have an MRI done to confirm the severity of his injury. Unfortunately, players go down for the year every offseason during training camp, and Burns might have suffered that fate. Burns is a former first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers out of Miami and has played in 88 career games with the Steelers, Bears, and Seahawks. Overall, he has racked up 199 tackles (156 solo), four interceptions, 38 pass deflections, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries. Burns was expected to compete for a depth role after the departure of Jalen Ramsey, but it looks like he could be on the shelf until 2026.

With Derek Carr's retirement this offseason, the New Orleans Saints are splitting first-team reps between Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough. Rattler will get Wednesday's reps while Shough will receive first-team reps on Thursday. Rattler completed just 57% of his passes last season, tossing four touchdowns and five picks in seven appearances. Shough, a strong-armed rookie from Louisville, was selected 40th overall by the Saints in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft and is competing with Rattler for the Saints' starting quarterback gig. With no clear leader emerging, this competition could stretch through training camp. The uncertainty under center adds risk to the fantasy outlooks of Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave, both of whom depend heavily on quarterback efficiency for consistent volume and red-zone production.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has taken command of the locker room from the start of camp, emerging as the team's clear-cut starter for the 2025 season. With a revamped offense featuring veteran wideout Cooper Kupp and deep threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Darnold is in position to thrive. Seattle is hoping that Darnold can replicate his success from last season with Minnesota, where he threw for 4,319 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions over 17 games. The former first-round pick has the tools to elevate a promising group of weapons, making him an intriguing late-round sleeper in fantasy football formats.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has emerged as the team's clear-cut No. 1 receiver entering 2025. The former first-rounder broke out last season with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns. Despite leading the league in pass attempts, Cleveland ranked just 22nd in passing yards, exposing inefficiencies in the quarterback room. Enter Joe Flacco, who brings much-needed accuracy and stability to the offense. With Flacco under center, Jeudy should see even more consistent production. Diontae Johnson and Cedric Tillman will compete for the WR2 role, but Jeudy remains the focal point in Cleveland's passing attack.

The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the 2025 season with a clear backfield competition. Kenneth Walker III has been outstanding across his first three years in the league, but recurring injuries have left the door open for third-year back Zach Charbonnet to push for more snaps.Charbonnet totaled eight touchdowns in 2024 despite starting just six of 17 games, showcasing his explosiveness and versatility. With new quarterback Sam Darnold under center, this two-headed backfield could emerge as one of the most dynamic tandems in the NFL, and a tricky one for fantasy managers to navigate.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) was absent from Wednesday's practice. Bills head coach Sean McDermott declined to offer a timetable for his return, saying the team is taking it "one day at a time." The 28-year-old was placed on the active/non-football injury list on Tuesday, but can be activated anytime. Knox appeared in 16 games last season (13 starts), totaling 311 receiving yards on 22 catches and scoring once. With Dalton Kincaid continuing to emerge as a featured weapon in Buffalo's offense, Knox will need to make the most of his reps once healthy to maintain a significant role in 2025.

Despite not having a new contract, Buffalo Bills running back James Cook was a full participant in the first training camp practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg. Regardless of his contract situation entering the 2025 season, Cook cemented himself as Buffalo's clear lead back last year by rushing for 1,009 yards and a league-leading 16 touchdowns on 207 rushing attempts in 16 regular-season games after scoring just twice on the ground in 2023. While Cook finally saw some more goal-line opportunities, fantasy managers should be expecting major regression in the TD department in 2025. An extension would definitely give the Bills more incentive to keep feeding Cook, who doesn't have the body type to be a physical, between-the-tackles runner. Ray Davis and Ty Johnson will remain involved as well, making Cook more of a high-end RB2 target in fantasy.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said at training camp on Wednesday that rookie first-round wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter will practice on both offense and defense after like the first six or so practices in camp. After that happens, Coen said Hunter playing on both sides of the ball on the same day in practice will "kind of become the norm." From the start, the Jaguars have incorporated the Heisman Trophy winner much more on offense, but he will soon be working on both sides of the ball. The Jaguars front office said that the 22-year-old is more naturally comfortable on defense, which is why they feel he needs more work on offense to start. Hunter certainly has the physical abilities to become the WR2 in Jacksonville in 2025 behind Brian Thomas Jr., but how much is he really going to be on the field on offense? He will probably be overvalued in fantasy drafts this fall.

Per FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz, free-agent wide receiver Keenan Allen has drawn interest from multiple teams in recent weeks. Schultz said it's his understanding that Allen has been waiting for training camps to get underway to better assess the landscape and get a clearer picture of each team's receiver situation. Even though the 33-year-old is past his prime, he's still easily one of the top free agents available with training camps starting this week. In his first and only season in Chicago in 2024 with the Bears, the six-time Pro Bowler struggled like the rest of the offense and caught only 70 of his 121 targets for 744 yards, although he did find the end zone seven times for the second straight season in 15 starts. Allen is by no means washed up and still has the tools to make an impact in fantasy, but it will all depend on where he lands.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday at training camp that wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) is "doing great." "He's crushing rehab. He's in a great headspace. We're not putting any timetables timeline on Tank." It's good news that Dell is making strides in his rehab, but the fact remains that he's highly unlikely to play at all in 2025 after dislocating his knee and tearing his ACL, MCL and LCL in Week 16 last season. The Texans placed him on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday, and he won't be taking part in any practices this summer as the team gets ready for the 2025 season. If Dell is even ready to return next year, he might be a shell of his former self. Fantasy managers should leave him off their draft boards this fall.
