Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (wrist) exited Saturday's preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals with an apparent wrist injury, according to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He'll end his day completing 3-of-4 passes for 36 yards. O'Connell came into the game in relief of starting QB Geno Smith after the latter finished one series. The former participated in two possessions of his own, giving way to rookie teammate Cam Miller midway through the second quarter. It's unclear how the Purdue product picked up the injury, but he did take a sack -- and lose a fumble -- on the drive he entered the game. O'Connell is likely heading for further testing, though any time missed would thrust Miller into a default backup role as he's the only other quarterback on the roster.

Washington Commanders tight end Colson Yankoff finished with two targets and one reception for 52 yards in Washington's final preseason game against the Ravens. Yankoff had a spectacular catch and run as he hauled in a pass up the seam, bounced off a defensive back, and showcased his speed with a 35-yard sprint after the catch. The 2024 undrafted free agent from UCLA is an exceptional athlete with a 9.56 Relative Athletic Score out of a possible 10. He's drawn consistent positive reviews out of Washington training camp for his versatility and impact on special teams. The team's top three tight ends are pretty set with Zach Ertz, John Bates, and Ben Sinnott, but signs point to Yankoff being kept as a fourth as well. If Ertz were to miss any time, Yankoff could be one to see opportunity in the receiving tight end role if Sinnott hasn't earned it.

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore Jr. led the Bills in yards from scrimmage for the third straight week in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. Gore amassed 61 total yards (32 rushing, 29 receiving) on 10 carries and two catches, and he scored his lone touchdown of the preseason on a one-yard run in the first quarter. In all, the hard-running 23-year-old piled up 104 yards on the ground on 23 attempts and hauled in 11 catches for another 109 yards in three preseason contests. Even though Gore stood out in Buffalo's exhibition games, he doesn't have a clear path to a roster spot with James Cook, Ray Davis, and Ty Johnson ahead of him on the depth chart. Odds are that the former Southern Miss standout will either wind up on the Bills' practice squad for the second year in a row or join another team via waivers before the season. He made a compelling case that he's an NFL-caliber back during the preseason.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers finished with the team's only touchdown reception in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. With the Bills leading 7-3 late in the second quarter, Shavers made a spectacular one-handed catch in the end zone for an 11-yard score. That was one of two grabs for Shavers, who totaled 24 yards on three targets. Shavers' impact went beyond the box score, as he also drew a pair of defensive holding penalties that led to first downs for the Bills. The former undrafted free agent from San Diego State, who has been fighting for a place near the back of the Bills' receiver depth chart this summer, made his presence felt in all three of the team's exhibition games. Shavers led the Bills with 120 yards on six receptions in the preseason, and now he's left to hope that production will help him earn a roster spot.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Elijah Moore earned four targets from quarterback Shane Buechele in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday, but he was unable to do much with them. While Moore did haul in three passes, he totaled just eight yards and will wrap up his preseason with four catches (eight targets) for 13 yards. The former New York Jet and Cleveland Brown joined the Bills on a one-year deal in free agency and is expected to earn a roster spot, but he isn't necessarily a stone-cold lock. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer are the only Buffalo receivers who are guaranteed to make the team, leaving Moore grouped with several others (Curtis Samuel, Tyrell Shavers, Kristian Wilkerson, Laviska Shenault Jr., and KJ Hamler among them) fighting for two or three jobs. Except for Samuel (illness), who's also reportedly on the bubble and didn't play Saturday because of an illness, Moore has a more proven track record than the rest of the WRs competing for roles. That could help give him the edge in the competition.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey racked up five receptions for 23 yards in a 30-3 loss against Baltimore in the team's final preseason game. McCaffrey rounded out the preseason with his most productive outing, catching multiple balls underneath and generating some yards after the catch. He was also used as a blocker on the punt return team, which speaks to his special-teams value but hardly signals trust in him as an offensive contributor. It hasn't been the most encouraging training camp for the second-year wideout, as he's yet to emerge with star receiver Terry McLaurin not practicing along with Noah Brown. He looks to be firmly behind those two, Deebo Samuel and Jaylin Lane, in the pecking order for consistent routes.

According to Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, running back De'Von Achane hasn't had any setbacks regarding his recovery efforts. McDaniel added that he "looks forward" to getting Achane back at practice in the weeks heading into the opener versus the Indianapolis Colts. Jaylen Wright (leg) is considered "week-to-week," so fantasy managers may not see him on the field on September 7. Fortunately, it appears Achane has a good chance of playing. The 23-year-old finished the 2024 campaign with 907 yards off 203 carries. He also had 78 catches for 592 yards while totaling 12 touchdowns. If Achane is good to suit up against Indianapolis, he's a must-start in any fantasy format. If he's not cleared to play, Wright, assuming he's healthy, and Ollie Gordon II, who had eight touches for 43 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Jaguars, are the favorites to see more work.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Shane Buechele turned in the team's best passing performance of the preseason in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. The 27-year-old demonstrated pinpoint accuracy throughout the night, completing 25 of his 30 attempts for 278 yards and a touchdown. He also used his mobility to his advantage and added another 20 yards on five rushes. Buechele played the entire game with the Bills' top three QBs - Josh Allen, Mitchell Trubisky, and Mike White - on the sideline. Trubisky and White have spent the summer battling for the No. 2 job, a role Buechele stands little to no chance of winning. His best bet to stay in the organization for a third straight year may be via the practice squad. Buechele was on Buffalo's practice squad in 2023, and he spent last year on Injured Reserve after suffering a neck injury in the preseason.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed for 34 yards on five carries in the final preseason game against the Ravens. Rodriguez started the game and consistently picked up big chunks of yards. The 24-year-old finished the preseason averaging nearly seven yards per carry, with 17 rushes for 118 yards. Rodriguez fits the role of a hammer and short-yardage back that can get the tough yards, but also had gaudy production in the SEC at Kentucky. He averaged over 100 rushing yards per game in both of his last two seasons. Additionally, he's showing improved burst and explosiveness in camp this year, saying that he's already hit 20 MPH more times this year than all of last year, according to Hayley Salvatore of Commanders.com. Brian Robinson is now officially dealt to San Francisco, and Rodriguez is set to be in the mix for early down touches in the Washington backfield. Touchdowns will be the path to fantasy value for Rodriguez in what could be a murky backfield.

According to Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, running back Jaylen Wright (leg) continues to receive evaluations after exiting practice on Thursday. He's considered "week-to-week." The Dolphins' backfield isn't the healthiest group in the National Football League, with De'Von Achane (calf) still not practicing. It's unknown how things will look heading into the Week 1 opener versus the Indianapolis Colts. However, if Wright and Achane aren't healthy enough to suit up, Ollie Gordon II and Mike Boone could be in line for more touches. Gordon had 43 yards off eight carries in Saturday's preseason win over the Jaguars. While Boone wasn't as productive, amassing 27 yards off seven touches, he at least found the end zone. With that in mind, Gordon may be the safest insurance policy for fantasy managers if Achane and Wright can't give it a go on September 7, at least in terms of workload. Still, that doesn't mean he'll be a reliable fantasy producer. Fortunately, Week 1 is a few weeks away, so there is time for Achane and Wright to come off the injury report.

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Hartman completed 12 of 17 passes for 114 yards and two interceptions in a 30-3 loss against the Ravens. Hartman also took two sacks for seven yards while playing the whole first half. One of the interceptions was an unfortunate batted ball, but the other was a late and weak throw where the defender easily undercut it. The Notre Dame product struggled again in the final game of the preseason. He completed only 53.3 percent of his passes while throwing four interceptions to no touchdowns across the three games. It remains to be seen if Washington will opt to to keep three quarterbacks on the roster, and if they did, it seems veteran Josh Johnson would be the choice. Both would be options for the practice squad regardless, but Hartman's lackluster camp and preseason makes it unlikely for him to make the final roster.

Dynasty | Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe completed 13-of-24 passes for 148 yards, with one touchdown, 31 rushing yards and two lost fumbles in Seattle's final preseason game. Dynasty Analysis: Any dreams dynasty managers had of Milroe somehow unseating Sam Darnold early this season had a bucket of cold water thrown on them today as Milroe really struggled. The two lost fumbles were brutal as he Milroe lost one on a sack and the other on a fourth down sneak. While he made some plays later in the game, Milroe clearly has a ways to go and while he remains a dynasty stash, his time is clearly not now.

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Damien Martinez ran seven times for 24 yards in Seattle's final preseason game on Saturday. Martinez was coming off a solid showing in Week 2 of the preseason, but his game on Saturday was a bit of a disappointment. To be fair, Seattle's offense had trouble getting going for the whole game, but Martinez may not have been doing himself any favors with his performance. Martinez has been in a battle for the No. 3 running back spot with George Holani. It is unclear who will take the spot, but Martinez may be relegated primarily to special teams given his lack of experience. For now, he is not on the fantasy radar. However, he flashed solid potential in the preseason and could have a role later in his career.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling was the only main wide receiver in Seattle's wide receiving corps who played in the preseason finale on Saturday. He recorded three receptions for 33 yards with a long of 27. The Seahawks struggled to get their offense going throughout the game, and Valdes-Scantling was not immune to the struggles. Valdes-Scantling's participation in the game was puzzling. It could signal that he is fourth or lower on Seattle's wide receiver depth chart. He was unlikely to be a main contributor in fantasy football given his record primarily as a role player throughout his career. The development suggests that rookie wide receiver Tory Horton could be on his way to a substantial role in the offense. Horton is an interesting sleeper and dynasty candidate. The usage of both players will be important to monitor when the Seahawks open their regular season in Week 1.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe went 13/24 for 148 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's preseason finale on Saturday. Milroe added 31 yards on the ground. Milroe has flashed solid potential throughout the preseason, and he did so again on Saturday. The Seahawks gave Milroe the honor of playing the entire game, so his final stat line was not eye-popping. Seattle struggled to move the ball throughout the day, which is to be expected when a hodgepodge of players are playing in the final dress rehearsal. Fantasy football managers have been keeping an eye on Milroe throughout the preseason due to his potential with his legs. He could turn into a solid fantasy football asset down the line, but for now, he is stuck behind Drew Lock and Sam Darnold on the depth chart.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs scored on his only look from quarterback Malik Willis in the Packers' 20-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks in their final preseason game. The Packers' wide receiver room has been decimated by injuries during the preseason, but it was a bit of an eye-opener to see Doubs, who has run the most routes for the Packers over the last two seasons, play the first two series of the game. Doubs scored on a one-yard snag from starting quarterback Malik Willis, and Doubs' day was over after that. The Packers can now rest up for their Week 1 home opener against the Detroit Lions. For fantasy purposes, Doubs is more of a late-round fantasy wide receiver with capped production upside, but he should be on the field quite a bit.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson led the Packers in rushing yards in their final preseason game, a 20-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson came into the game after Chris Brooks left in the middle of the Packers' second drive. Playing primarily at the end of the first quarter and almost halfway into the second quarter. Leading the team in rushing yards with 38 and tying for the most carries (8) on the day, Wilson is third in the pecking order for running back touches behind Josh Jacobs and Brooks. Wilson is very likely to break camp with the Packers if MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) isn't healthy, but Wilson shouldn't be drafted in fantasy leagues unless more injuries strike the running back room in Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks was the second back to enter the game for the Packers in their 20-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in their third and final preseason game. Brooks took over duties after Josh Jacobs received the first two snaps of the game. Playing seven snaps of his own, Brooks exited and gave way to Emanuel Wilson. In Brooks' seven snaps across the last play of the first drive and the first six plays of the next drive, Brooks took four carries for 15 yards. With the injury to MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) putting his Week 1 status in doubt, Brooks' entrance into the game ahead of Wilson seems to put Brooks as the preferred contingent play in Week 1 should Lloyd not be healthy. That said, Brooks should only be drafted in the deepest of leagues as a pure handcuff option.

Atlanta Falcons placekicker Younghoe Koo converted two of his three field goal attempts in Friday's 31-13 preseason loss to the Cowboys, making from 28 and 38 yards awaywhilemissing from 51 yardsout. The 31-year-old also converted his lone extra point attempt. After Lenny Krieg handled kicking duties in the team's first preseason game, Koo has taken over in the last twoand appears to be in line to be named the Falcons' starter for Week 1 of the 2025 season. The eighth-year pro had a down year in 2024, but also battled through a hip injury that ultimately cut his season short. Now fully healthy, fantasy managers should have confidence in him, however, there are higher upside options available in 12-team leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden hauled in a 39-yard strike on two targets from starting quarterback Malik Willis in the Packers' 20-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field. Golden, the Packers' first-round pick this past April, had to adjust and come back to the ball a little bit, but made a nice adjustment downfield to secure the longest reception of the day for both teams. The Packers' intent on selecting Golden in the first round signals a big role for the talented rookie out of Texas, and fantasy managers agree. Golden has been a mid-round upside staple in an offense that looks to generate more offense through the air this season than last season's iteration. Could Golden be the next fantasy find like last season's Ladd McConkey and Brian Thomas Jr.? Golden certainly has that level of upside as a WR3 in fantasy drafts.
