Fantasy Football News & Rumors

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Jarrett Stidham, Bo Nix both seeing first-team reps in practice
Broncos coach Sean Payton admitted Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham have got the first-team reps the past few days in practice.

Fantasy Impact

Payton added that “nothing is finalized.” The rookie in Nix would still seem to have the edge right now for the starting job, but he is giving Stidham a shot at earning the job. This will remain a situation to monitor with both likely seeing equal action in the preseason.

Johnny Wilson getting reps with first-team offense
The Philadelphia Eagles have consistently been giving rookie WR Johnny Wilson snaps with their first-team offense as a WR3.

Fantasy Impact

According to Zach Berman of PHLY, head coach Nick Sirianni mentioned Wilson as a contender for the team’s WR3 role, though he also brought up WRs Parris Campbell, John Ross and Britain Covey. Ross has also been reported to be receiving first-team snaps, but Berman said Wilson’s snaps are not just “camp rotation-type” reps and that “he’s in the mix.” Wilson could see action in Year 1, but the Eagles may also be a WR3-by-committee team again in 2024.

Marvin Harrison Jr. expected to play in preseason
Marvin Harrison Jr. is expected to see some action in the preseason.

Fantasy Impact

Some teams opt to let their starters sit for most of the preseason, but it seems like the Cardinals are planning on letting Harrison play. HC Jonathan Gannon said “I think he needs to get out there and play,” so it’s reasonable to expect that we’ll see at least a good bit of on-field action from him in the coming weeks.

Trey Sermon the ‘early front-runner’ to be Colts backup RB
Trey Sermon is reportedly the “early front-runner” to backup Jonathan Taylor in the Colts backfield.

Fantasy Impact

This was also the report in June during minicamp. Sermon has taken the bulk of the carries as the second running back with the second-team offense for the Colts early in camp. It appears he’ll be the handcuff to Taylor for fantasy managers.
