Calais Campbell may be approaching his final NFL season after signing a one-year return to Arizona, and the veteran interior disruptor remains elite at nearly 39. His 85.9 run-defense grade last year highlighted a career of sustained excellence and consistency since 2011. If 2025 is indeed his last ride, the Cardinals’ front will lean on younger pieces to absorb his role, making depth and rotation crucial for fantasy outlooks on the line.

Justin Herbert is set for his first-ever preseason action against the Rams, likely one to two series, as Los Angeles pushes toward a healthy, productive season. His 91.2 PFF grade last year led to a strong fantasy baseline, with deeper targets and big-time throws. The exhibition window will test pass protection and rhythm heading into a season where Herbert’s fantasy ceiling remains sky-high.

Geno Stone returned to Bengals practice after a soft-tissue issue and is on track for the opener. His career path has ups and downs, but he showed enough in 2022-23 to keep him in the mix as Cincinnati builds its secondary depth. For fantasy managers, Stone’s health news nudges safer safety-stream options higher on the list for IDP formats.

Other training-camp headlines shape early-season bets: Josh Allen is 50-50 to play in the Bills’ preseason game, and Bears fans note Shemar Turner’s return. These snippets filter into depth-chart interpretations and fantasy decision-making as rosters firm up and players position themselves for Week 1 opportunities.
