Ashton Jeanty remains Vegas’ volume engine on early downs, commanding a high workload even as efficiency drifts. He’s at the center of a backfield committee for non-third-down snaps, and Washington’s run defense edges tough matchups, keeping his ceiling modest but steady. Kyle Pitts is expanding his role with Atlanta, offering a real TE1 path if the Falcons keep feeding him. The skew toward volume and role over raw efficiency shapes this week’s start-sit map for fantasy managers.

Brandon Aubrey’s leg is making waves in Dallas after a 64-yard FG to force OT and a 46-yard winner over the Giants, plus a special-teams buzz that even prompted Dak Prescott to joke about his own entrance music. The former MLS draftee and engineer is flirting with a blockbuster extension, potentially around $7M per year, which would make him the NFL’s highest-paid kicker and redefine the market for kickers who can deliver from Haymaker range and pressure-packed moments.

Carson Wentz lands in Minnesota for a pivotal audition, becoming the NFL’s first six-team starter in six seasons. Replacing the injured J.J. McCarthy, the veteran must quickly mesh with O’Connell’s system and jump-start a Vikings aerial attack that’s struggled. His quicker release and walk-through prep suggest a higher floor for Vikings pass-catchers as Minnesota faces Cincinnati.

Kyler Murray apologized after posting a photo with his pit bull wearing a Michael Vick jersey, deleting it amid backlash. He said he admired Vick growing up and does not condone animal cruelty, noting his dogs Trunks and Swoosh are treated like kings. The moment revisits Vick’s 2007 dogfighting case, his NFL suspension and reinstatement, and his current role as Norfolk State coach. It also highlights how social media can spark public and PR scrutiny around player personas and team narratives.
