Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Jordan Love will play Friday against Bengals
Jordan Love will play in Friday’s preseason opener for the Green Bay Packers against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Love enters his first season as the starting quarterback for the Packers after the team traded Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets in the offseason, and the 2020 first-round pick will likely get every opportunity to prove the organization right with the help of running backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon as well as pass-catching options Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Luke Musgrave this upcoming season.

Justin Fields will play in preseason opener Saturday
Justin Fields will play for the Chicago Bears against the Tennessee Titans in the team’s preseason opener Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
It is unknown how much playing time Fields will see Saturday, as the Bears will likely want to make sure the star quarterback avoids injury heading into a crucial third year behind center. With wideout DJ Moore acquired from the Carolina Panthers in the offseason, Fields has all of the potential to be a fantasy steal for fantasy owners this upcoming season.

Lamar Jackson will not play Saturday
Lamar Jackson will not play for the Baltimore Ravens against the Philadelphia Eagles in the team’s preseason opener Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson will sit out with a majority of his offensive weapons Saturday according to Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. Fantasy owners can still draft Jackson with confidence in hopes he flourishes with new pass-catching weapons Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr. as well as the return to health for running back J.K. Dobbins this upcoming season.

Anthony Richardson starting in Saturday’s preseason game
Anthony Richardson is expected to start and play about one quarter in the Colts’ first preseason game.
Fantasy Impact
Colts’ head coach Shane Steichen stated that starters should play around one quarter, meaning we should get a good look at the offense under Richardson. The 21-year-old rookie has received a lot of high praise for his play in Colts’ training camp and will face his first test against Buffalo Saturday. Richardson currently ranks as the QB18 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.
