Tyson Bagent earned a two-year extension through 2027, with Chicago paying about 4.25 million per year (plus a signing bonus) in a clear, team-friendly move that prioritizes development behind Caleb Williams chatter and Ben Johnson’s offense. The Bears value continuity in their QB room and rewarded a training-camp standout who earned his role with consistency and smart progression. This isn't about splurging on a veteran starter; it's about cultivating internal depth while keeping options open for 2027.

Ben Johnson’s backing was pivotal, and Case Keenum’s praise underscores Bagent’s growth, arm mechanics, and readiness to operate in a complex system. DJ Moore figures as a key target in this evolving offense, but the core story is Chicago investing in a young, gritty quarterback who has connected with coaches, thrived in camp, and earned a plausible path to future opportunity within a high-IQ scheme.

Tyler Warren's preseason emergence anchors a Colts offense that also features Daniel Jones stepping in as starter. Warren’s blockers and manufactured touches across the backfield and receiving routes could translate into steady PPR production, especially with Jones offering underneath targets. Josh Downs benefits alongside him, creating a high-floor Colts duo that could fuel week-to-week streaming and DFS value.

Dak Prescott projects over 3,900 yards as Dallas leans into a pass-heavy attack with a strengthened corps that includes George Pickens and Jake Ferguson, while the defense won’t carry the same weight as in former seasons. Caleb Williams’ discussed yardage target adds an interesting contrast from college upsides to NFL ceilings, illustrating how quarterback-friendly lines and QB-health risk shape decision-making for fantasy managers this year.

Kenneth Walker III figures prominently in the week’s fantasy talk, but the panel leans toward the under on his rushing yardage, citing durability questions and a shift toward a more balanced attack with a new offensive approach. Jordan Mason blocks behind him as a potential breakout in SF’s run game, while Kalaja Cany shows breakout-potential as an interior disruptor with seven-sack upside. Justin Fields’ rushing ceiling is highlighted as a major driver for fantasy upside, even as passing volume remains a wild card. The Jets’ offense and a push toward more balanced game plans also surface in this discussion.

Across the board, the crew threads together context about pace, injury history, and backfield splits to anchor their bets. The conversation threads through the implications of line play, scheme tweaks, and how quarterback-running dynamics can tilt both floor and ceiling for a handful of players in the early weeks of the season.

Chicago’s final preseason week tightens the loom on the Bears’ 53-man roster, with Caleb Williams at the center of the conversation as the club weighs how to blend a high-ceiling passer into a physical, run-first identity. The debate spans Caleb Williams’ potential footprint as a developmental catalyst and the chances a Williams-driven offense can coexist with a line-dominant attack backed by a sturdy interior O-line. Braxton Jones and Theo Benedet are front and center in the trench battles, while Luther Burton and Kyler Gordon highlight how the rookie wave could shape Week 1 roles. The staff signaled starters on Friday against Kansas City, yet the path to activation remains contingent on health, tape, and the evolving run game that coach Ben Johnson has helped mold in practice. The evaluative lens also focuses on Mitch Trubisky’s backup trajectory, the defense’s depth after Sunday’s injuries, and the roster math around Roshan Johnson, Ian Wheeler, and a potential fourth running back or a waiver-claim. This set of decisions will ripple through fantasy lines, especially for those counting on Chicago’s offense to materialize quickly, and for bettors watching how Week 1 game plans could tilt early-season usage.

Jets offense looks primed to surge in 2024 as Rodgers re-enters the system with crisp timing and downfield accuracy. The run game becomes the engine, with a revamped line that can grind out four-to-six yards and extend the playbook, even when defenses know what's coming.

The Week 1 test against Pittsburgh stands as a litmus test for the approach. If the line sustains its push, Rodgers threads needle passes and the Jets threaten big TDs, while the run game creates consistent yardage and keeps the defense honest.

Fantasy angles highlight Rodgers' chemistry with the system's targets and the backfield's expanded workload; expectations shift with the QB's comfort, and the off ense aims to maximize efficiency and TD pace from early in the season.

Justin Fields is a foil in the discourse, and the comparison underscores Jets' path: precision over improvisation, structured drops, and faster decision-making could unlock big-play potential as the offense grows in Weeks 2 and beyond.
