Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Will Levis winning over teammates
According to Tennessee Titans team reporter Jim Wyatt, QB Will Levis has “shown some spunk” and has received visual support and verbal encouragement from his teammates through his camp’s ups and downs.
Fantasy Impact
Levis was an early second-round pick for Tennessee, an investment that shows the front office wants to give him a genuine shot at being the team’s eventual starter. It’s never easy to be a rookie QB, and Levis was projected to be a developmental prospect. He’ll play behind QB Ryan Tannehill for at least this season and can learn behind the scenes. This is a good sign that he’s winning over support in the locker room even if he’s not slated to be a starter. Levis is a long-term play in dynasty leagues, but he shouldn’t be considered in re-draft formats in 2023.

C.J. Stroud will start Thursday’s preseason game
C.J. Stroud will start Thursday’s preseason game against New England, per Texans’ head coach DeMeco Ryans.
Fantasy Impact
Stroud reportedly took all of the first team reps at Saturday’s practice, the second consecutive day he did not share with incumbent Davis Mills. While it is assumed that the second overall pick in the 2023 draft will start Week 1, Stroud’s performance in the first preseason game should go a long way in helping the Texans’ determine if the rookie is ready.
